Exodus 6

6:1 And Jehovah said unto Moses, Now shalt thou see what I will do to Pharaoh: for by a strong hand shall he let them go, and by a strong hand shall he drive them out of his land.
6:2 And God spake unto Moses, and said unto him, I am Jehovah:
6:3 and I appeared unto Abraham, unto Isaac, and unto Jacob, as God Almighty; but by my name Jehovah I was not known to them.
6:4 And I have also established my covenant with them, to give them the land of Canaan, the land of their sojournings, wherein they sojourned.
6:5 And moreover I have heard the groaning of the children of Israel, whom the Egyptians keep in bondage; and I have remembered my covenant.
6:6 Wherefore say unto the children of Israel, I am Jehovah, and I will bring you out from under the burdens of the Egyptians, and I will rid you out of their bondage, and I will redeem you with an outstretched arm, and with great judgments:
6:7 and I will take you to me for a people, and I will be to you a God; and ye shall know that I am Jehovah your God, who bringeth you out from under the burdens of the Egyptians.
6:8 And I will bring you in unto the land which I sware to give to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob; and I will give it you for a heritage: I am Jehovah.
6:9 And Moses spake so unto the children of Israel: but they hearkened not unto Moses for anguish of spirit, and for cruel bondage.
6:10 And Jehovah spake unto Moses, saying,
6:11 Go in, speak unto Pharaoh king of Egypt, that he let the children of Israel go out of his land.
6:12 And Moses spake before Jehovah, saying, Behold, the children of Israel have not hearkened unto me; how then shall Pharaoh hear me, who am of uncircumcised lips?
6:13 And Jehovah spake unto Moses and unto Aaron, and gave them a charge unto the children of Israel, and unto Pharaoh king of Egypt, to bring the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt.

6:27 These are they that spake to Pharaoh king of Egypt, to bring out the children of Israel from Egypt: these are that Moses and Aaron.
6:28 And it came to pass on the day when Jehovah spake unto Moses in the land of Egypt,
6:29 that Jehovah spake unto Moses, saying, I am Jehovah: speak thou unto Pharaoh king of Egypt all that I speak unto thee.
6:30 And Moses said before Jehovah, Behold, I am of uncircumcised lips, and how shall Pharaoh hearken unto me?

Psalm 45

45:1 For the Chief Musician; set to Shoshannim. A Psalm of the sons of Korah. Maschil. A Song of loves. My heart overfloweth with a goodly matter; I speak the things which I have made touching the king: My tongue is the pen of a ready writer.
45:2 Thou art fairer than the children of men; Grace is poured into thy lips: Therefore God hath blessed thee for ever.
45:3 Gird thy sword upon thy thigh, O mighty one, Thy glory and thy majesty.
45:4 And in thy majesty ride on prosperously, Because of truth and meekness and righteousness: And thy right hand shall teach thee terrible things.
45:5 Thine arrows are sharp; The peoples fall under thee; They are in the heart of the king’s enemies.
45:6 Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever: A sceptre of equity is the sceptre of thy kingdom.
45:7 Thou hast loved righteousness, and hated wickedness: Therefore God, thy God, hath anointed thee With the oil of gladness above thy fellows.
45:8 All thy garments smell of myrrh, and aloes, and cassia; Out of ivory palaces stringed instruments have made thee glad.
45:9 Kings’ daughters are among thy honorable women: At thy right hand doth stand the queen in gold of Ophir.
45:10 Hearken, O daughter, and consider, and incline thine ear; Forget also thine own people, and thy father’s house:
45:11 So will the king desire thy beauty; For he is thy lord; and reverence thou him.
45:12 And the daughter of Tyre shall be there with a gift; The rich among the people shall entreat thy favor.
45:13 The king’s daughter within the palace is all glorious: Her clothing is inwrought with gold.
45:14 She shall be led unto the king in broidered work: The virgins her companions that follow her Shall be brought unto thee.
45:15 With gladness and rejoicing shall they be led: They shall enter into the king’s palace.
45:16 Instead of thy fathers shall be thy children, Whom thou shalt make princes in all the earth.
45:17 I will make thy name to be remembered in all generations: Therefore shall the peoples give thee thanks for ever and ever.

Matthew 20:17-21:11

20:17 And as Jesus was going up to Jerusalem, he took the twelve disciples apart, and on the way he said unto them,
20:18 Behold, we go up to Jerusalem; and the Son of man shall be delivered unto the chief priests and scribes; and they shall condemn him to death,
20:19 and shall deliver him unto the Gentiles to mock, and to scourge, and to crucify: and the third day he shall be raised up.
20:20 Then came to him the mother of the sons of Zebedee with her sons, worshipping him, and asking a certain thing of him.
20:21 And he said unto her, What wouldest thou? She saith unto him, Command that these my two sons may sit, one on thy right hand, and one on thy left hand, in thy kingdom.
20:22 But Jesus answered and said, Ye know not what ye ask. Are ye able to drink the cup that I am about to drink? They say unto him, We are able.
20:23 He saith unto them, My cup indeed ye shall drink: but to sit on my right hand, and on my left hand, is not mine to give; but it is for them for whom it hath been prepared of my Father.
20:24 And when the ten heard it, they were moved with indignation concerning the two brethren.
20:25 But Jesus called them unto him, and said, Ye know that the rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them, and their great ones exercise authority over them.
20:26 Not so shall it be among you: but whosoever would become great among you shall be your minister;
20:27 and whosoever would be first among you shall be your servant:
20:28 even as the Son of man came not to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give his life a ransom for many.
20:29 And as they went out from Jericho, a great multitude followed him.
20:30 And behold, two blind men sitting by the way side, when they heard that Jesus was passing by, cried out, saying, Lord, have mercy on us, thou son of David.
20:31 And the multitude rebuked them, that they should hold their peace: but they cried out the more, saying, Lord, have mercy on us, thou son of David.
20:32 And Jesus stood still, and called them, and said, What will ye that I should do unto you?
20:33 They say unto him, Lord, that our eyes may be opened.
20:34 And Jesus, being moved with compassion, touched their eyes; and straightway they received their sight, and followed him.
21:1 And when they drew nigh unto Jerusalem, and came unto Bethphage, unto the mount of Olives, then Jesus sent two disciples,
21:2 saying unto them, Go into the village that is over against you, and straightway ye shall find an ass tied, and a colt with her: loose them, and bring them unto me.
21:3 And if any one say aught unto you, ye shall say, The Lord hath need of them; and straightway he will send them.
21:4 Now this is come to pass, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken through the prophet, saying,
21:5 Tell ye the daughter of Zion, Behold, thy King cometh unto thee, Meek, and riding upon an ass, And upon a colt the foal of an ass.
21:6 And the disciples went, and did even as Jesus appointed them,
21:7 and brought the ass, and the colt, and put on them their garments; and he sat thereon.
21:8 And the most part of the multitude spread their garments in the way; and others cut branches from the trees, and spread them in the way.
21:9 And the multitudes that went before him, and that followed, cried, saying, Hosanna to the son of David: Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord; Hosanna in the highest.
21:10 And when he was come into Jerusalem, all the city was stirred, saying, Who is this?
21:11 And the multitudes said, This is the prophet, Jesus, from Nazareth of Galilee.
