1 Woe to the shepherds who destroy and scatter the sheep of my
pasture! says the Lord .
2 Therefore, thus says the Lord , the God of Israel, concerning the
shepherds who shepherd my people: It is you who have scattered my
flock, and have driven them away, and you have not attended to
them. So I will attend to you for your evil doings, says the Lord .
3 Then I myself will gather the remnant of my flock out of all the
lands where I have driven them, and I will bring them back to their
fold, and they shall be fruitful and multiply.
4 I will raise up shepherds over them who will shepherd them, and
they shall not fear any longer, or be dismayed, nor shall any be
missing, says the Lord .
5 The days are surely coming, says the Lord , when I will raise up for
David a righteous Branch, and he shall reign as king and deal wisely,
and shall execute justice and righteousness in the land.
6 In his days Judah will be saved and Israel will live in safety. And
this is the name by which he will be called: The Lord is our
righteousness.

Blessed be the Lord, the God of Israel:
who has come to his people and set them free.
The Lord has raised up for us a mighty Saviour:
born of the house of his servant David.
Through the holy prophets, God promised of old:
to save us from our enemies, from the hands of all who hate us,
To show mercy to our forebears:
and to remember his holy covenant.
This was the oath God swore to our father Abraham:
to set us free from the hands of our enemies,
Free to worship him without fear:
holy and righteous before him, all the days of our life.
And you, child, shall be called the prophet of the Most High:
for you will go before the Lord to prepare his way,
To give his people knowledge of salvation:
by the forgiveness of their sins.
In the tender compassion of our God:
the dawn from on high shall break upon us,
To shine on those who dwell in darkness and the shadow of death:
and to guide our feet into the way of peace.

11 May you be made strong with all the strength that comes from his
glorious power, and may you be prepared to endure everything with
patience, while joyfully
12 giving thanks to the Father, who has enabled you to share in the
inheritance of the saints in the light.
13 He has rescued us from the power of darkness and transferred us
into the kingdom of his beloved Son,
14 in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins.
15 He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation;
16 for in him all things in heaven and on earth were created, things
visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or
powersall things have been created through him and for him.
17 He himself is before all things, and in him all things hold together.
18 He is the head of the body, the church; he is the beginning, the
firstborn from the dead, so that he might come to have first place in
everything.
19 For in him all the fullness of God was pleased to dwell,
20 and through him God was pleased to reconcile to himself all things
, whether on earth or in heaven, by making peace through the blood
of his cross.

33 When they came to the place that is called The Skull, they
crucified Jesus there with the criminals, one on his right and one on
his left.
34 Then Jesus said, Father, forgive them; for they do not know what
they are doing. And they cast lots to divide his clothing.
35 And the people stood by, watching; but the leaders scoffed at him,
saying, He saved others; let him save himself if he is the Messiah of
God, his chosen one!
36 The soldiers also mocked him, coming up and offering him sour
wine, 37 and saying, If you are the King of the Jews, save yourself!
38 There was also an inscription over him, This is the King of the
Jews.
39 One of the criminals who were hanged there kept deriding him and
saying, Are you not the Messiah? Save yourself and us!
40 But the other rebuked him, saying, Do you not fear God, since you
are under the same sentence of condemnation?
41 And we indeed have been condemned justly, for we are getting
what we deserve for our deeds, but this man has done nothing wrong.
42 Then he said, Jesus, remember me when you come into your
kingdom.
43 He replied, Truly I tell you, today you will be with me in Paradise.
