FBCL | Easter | The Gospel in Prophecy

In the end of the sabbath, as it began to dawn toward the first day of the week, came Mary Magdalene and the other Mary to see the sepulchre. ² And, behold, there was a great earthquake: for the angel of the Lord descended from heaven, and came and rolled back the stone from the door, and sat upon it. ³ His countenance was like lightning, and his raiment white as snow: ⁴ And for fear of him the keepers did shake, and became as dead men. ⁵ And the angel answered and said unto the women, Fear not ye: for I know that ye seek Jesus, which was crucified. ⁶ He is not here: for he is risen, as he said. Come, see the place where the Lord lay. ⁷ And go quickly, and tell his disciples that he is risen from the dead; and, behold, he goeth before you into Galilee; there shall ye see him: lo, I have told you. ⁸ And they departed quickly from the sepulchre with fear and great joy; and did run to bring his disciples word. ⁹ And as they went to tell his disciples, behold, Jesus met them, saying, All hail. And they came and held him by the feet, and worshipped him. ¹⁰ Then said Jesus unto them, Be not afraid: go tell my brethren that they go into Galilee, and there shall they see me.

My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?

Why art thou so far from helping me, and from the words of my roaring?

²  O my God, I cry in the daytime, but thou hearest not;

And in the night season, and am not silent.

³  But thou art holy, O thou that inhabitest the praises of Israel.

⁴  Our fathers trusted in thee:

They trusted, and thou didst deliver them.

⁵  They cried unto thee, and were delivered:

They trusted in thee, and were not confounded.

⁶  But I am a worm, and no man;

A reproach of men, and despised of the people.

⁷  All they that see me laugh me to scorn:

They shoot out the lip, they shake the head, saying,

^{8  †}He trusted on the Lord that he would deliver him:

Let him deliver him, seeing he delighted in him.

⁹  But thou art he that ⁿtook me out of the womb:

Thou didst make me hope when I was upon my mother’s breasts.

¹⁰  I was cast upon thee from the womb:

Thou art my God from my mother’s belly.

¹¹  Be not far from me; for trouble is near;

For there is none to help.

¹²  Many bulls have compassed me:

Strong bulls of Bashan have beset me round.

¹³  They gaped upon me with their mouths,

As a ravening and a roaring lion.

¹⁴  I am poured out like water,

And all my bones are out of joint:

My heart is like wax;

It is melted in the midst of my bowels.

¹⁵  My strength is dried up like a potsherd;

And my tongue cleaveth to my jaws;

And thou hast brought me into the dust of death.

¹⁶  For dogs have compassed me:

The assembly of the wicked have inclosed me:

They pierced my hands and my feet.

¹⁷  I may tell all my bones:

They look and stare upon me.

¹⁸  They part my garments among them,

And cast lots upon my vesture.

¹⁹  But be not thou far from me, O Lord:

O my strength, haste thee to help me.

²⁰  Deliver my soul from the sword;

My darling from the power of the dog.

²¹  Save me from the lion’s mouth:

For thou hast heard me from the horns of the unicorns.

²²  I will declare thy name unto my brethren:

In the midst of the congregation will I praise thee.

²³  Ye that fear the Lord, praise him;

All ye the seed of Jacob, glorify him;

And fear him, all ye the seed of Israel.

²⁴  For he hath not despised nor abhorred the affliction of the afflicted;

Neither hath he hid his face from him;

But when he cried unto him, he heard.

²⁵  My praise shall be of thee in the great congregation:

I will pay my vows before them that fear him.

²⁶  The meek shall eat and be satisfied:

They shall praise the Lord that seek him:

Your heart shall live for ever.

²⁷  All the ends of the world shall remember and turn unto the Lord:

And all the kindreds of the nations shall worship before thee.

²⁸  For the kingdom is the Lord’s:

And he is the governor among the nations.

²⁹  All they that be fat upon earth shall eat and worship:

All they that go down to the dust shall bow before him:

And none can keep alive his own soul.

³⁰  A seed shall serve him;

It shall be accounted to the Lord for a generation.

³¹  They shall come, and shall declare his righteousness

Unto a people that shall be born, that he hath done this.

The Holy Bible: King James Version, Electronic Edition of the 1900 Authorized Version. (Bellingham, WA: Logos Research Systems, Inc., 2009), Ps 22:1–31.

Who hath believed our ^†report?

And to whom is the arm of the Lord revealed?

²  For he shall grow up before him as a tender plant,

And as a root out of a dry ground:

He hath no form nor comeliness;

And when we shall see him, there is no beauty that we should desire him.

³  He is despised and rejected of men;

A man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief:

And ^†we hid as it were our faces from him;

He was despised, and we esteemed him not.

⁴  Surely he hath borne our griefs,

And carried our sorrows:

Yet we did esteem him stricken,

Smitten of God, and afflicted.

⁵  But he was ^pwounded for our transgressions,

He was bruised for our iniquities:

The chastisement of our peace was upon him;

And ^swith his stripes we are healed.

^{6  t}All we like sheep have gone astray;

We have turned every one to his own way;

And the Lord hath laid on him the iniquity of us all.

⁷  He was oppressed, and he was afflicted,

Yet he opened not his mouth:

^zHe is brought as a lamb to the slaughter,

And as a sheep before her shearers is dumb,

So he openeth not his mouth.

^{8  ||}He was taken from prison and from judgment:

And who shall declare his generation?

For he was cut off out of the land of the living:

For the transgression of my people was he stricken.

⁹  And he made his grave with the wicked,

And with the rich in his death;

Because he had done no violence,

Neither was any deceit in his mouth.

¹⁰  Yet it pleased the Lord to bruise him; he hath put him to grief:

ⁱWhen thou shalt make his soul an offering for sin,

He shall see his seed, he shall prolong his days,

And the pleasure of the Lord shall prosper in his hand.

¹¹  He shall see of the travail of his soul, and shall be satisfied:

By his knowledge shall my righteous servant justify many;

For he shall bear their iniquities.

¹²  Therefore will I divide him a portion with the great,

And he shall divide the spoil with the strong;

Because he hath poured out his soul unto death:

And he was numbered with the transgressors;

And he bare the sin of many,

And made intercession for the transgressors.

The Holy Bible: King James Version, Electronic Edition of the 1900 Authorized Version. (Bellingham, WA: Logos Research Systems, Inc., 2009), Is 53:1–12.
