⁹ saying to those who are bound, Go forth; to those who are in darkness, Show yourselves. They shall feed in the ways, and on all bare heights shall be their pasture.

⁷ to open the blind eyes, to bring out the prisoners from the dungeon, and those who sit in darkness out of the prison-house.

¹ The Spirit of the Lord Yahweh is on me; because Yahweh has anointed me to preach good news to the humble; he has sent me to bind up the broken-hearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening [of the prison] to those who are bound;

¹⁶ I will bring the blind by a way that they don't know; in paths that they don't know will I lead them; I will make darkness light before them, and crooked places straight. These things will I do, and I will not forsake them.

¹⁸ "The Spirit of the Lord is on me, Because he has anointed me to preach good news to the poor. He has sent me to heal the brokenhearted, To proclaim release to the captives, Recovering of sight to the blind, To deliver those who are crushed,

¹⁸ I will open rivers on the bare heights, and springs in the midst of the valleys; I will make the wilderness a pool of water, and the dry land springs of water.

¹⁸ to open their eyes, that they may turn from darkness to light and from the power of Satan to God, that they may receive remission of sins and an inheritance among those who are sanctified by faith in me.'

⁹ I am the door. If anyone enters in by me, he will be saved, and will go in and go out, and will find pasture.

¹² Again, therefore, Jesus spoke to them, saying, "I am the light of the world. He who follows me will not walk in the darkness, but will have the light of life."

⁵³ Jesus therefore said to them, "Most assuredly I tell you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you don't have life in yourselves.

⁵⁴ He who eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day.

⁵⁵ For my flesh is food indeed, and my blood is drink indeed.

⁵⁶ He who eats my flesh and drinks my blood lives in me, and I in him.

⁵⁷ As the living Father sent me, and I live because of the Father; so he who feeds on me, he will also live because of me.

⁵⁸ This is the bread which came down out of heaven-- not as our fathers ate the manna, and died. He who eats this bread will live forever."

⁴ in whom the god of this world has blinded the minds of the unbelieving, that the light of the Gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God, should not dawn on them.

⁵ For we don't preach ourselves, but Christ Jesus as Lord, and ourselves as your servants for Jesus' sake;

⁶ seeing it is God who said, "Light will shine out of darkness," who has shone in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.

⁸ For you were once darkness, but are now light in the Lord. Walk as children of light,

¹⁴ Therefore he says, "Awake, you who sleep, and arise from the dead, and Christ will shine on you."

¹³ who delivered us out of the power of darkness, and translated us into the Kingdom of the Son of his love;

⁵ You are all children of light, and children of the day. We don't belong to the night, nor to darkness,

⁶ so then let's not sleep, as the rest do, but let's watch and be sober.

⁹ But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for God's own possession, that you may show forth the excellencies of him who called you out of darkness into his marvelous light:

⁷⁹ To shine on those who sit in darkness and the shadow of death; To guide our feet into the way of peace."

¹¹ As for you also, Because of the blood of your covenant, I have set free your prisoners from the pit in which is no water.

¹² Turn to the stronghold, you prisoners of hope! Even today I declare that I will restore double to you.

¹⁸ It will happen in that day, That the mountains will drop down sweet wine, The hills will flow with milk, All the brooks of Judah will flow with waters; And a fountain will come forth from the house of Yahweh, And will water the valley of Shittim.

²⁶ The humble shall eat and be satisfied. They shall praise Yahweh who seek after him. Let your hearts live forever.

¹ > Yahweh is my shepherd: I shall lack nothing.

² He makes me lie down in green pastures. He leads me beside still waters.

³³ For Yahweh hears the needy, And doesn't despise his captive people.

²⁰ To hear the groans of the prisoner; To free those who are condemned to death;

¹⁰ Some sat in darkness and in the shadow of death, Being bound in affliction and iron,

¹¹ Because they rebelled against the words of God, And condemned the counsel of the Most High.

¹² Therefore he brought down their heart with labor. They fell down, and there was none to help.

¹³ Then they cried to Yahweh in their trouble, And he saved them out of their distresses.

¹⁴ He brought them out of darkness and the shadow of death, And broke their bonds in sunder.

¹⁵ Let them praise Yahweh for his loving kindness, For his wonderful works to the children of men!

¹⁶ For he has broken the gates of brass, And cut through bars of iron.

⁷ Who executes justice for the oppressed; Who gives food to the hungry. Yahweh frees the prisoners.

¹⁷ Then the lambs will graze as in their pasture, And strangers will eat the ruins of the rich.

² The people who walked in darkness have seen a great light: those who lived in the land of the shadow of death, on them has the light shined.

¹ Ho, everyone who thirsts, come you to the waters, and he who has no money; come you, buy, and eat; yes, come, buy wine and milk without money and without price.

² Why do you spend money for that which is not bread? and your labor for that which doesn't satisfy? listen diligently to me, and eat you that which is good, and let your soul delight itself in fatness.

¹ Arise, shine; for your light is come, and the glory of Yahweh is risen on you.

² For, behold, darkness shall cover the earth, and gross darkness the peoples; but Yahweh will arise on you, and his glory shall be seen on you.

¹³ Therefore thus says the Lord Yahweh, Behold, my servants shall eat, but you shall be hungry; behold, my servants shall drink, but you shall be thirsty; behold, my servants shall rejoice, but you shall be disappointed;

¹³ I will bring them out from the peoples, and gather them from the countries, and will bring them into their own land; and I will feed them on the mountains of Israel, by the watercourses, and in all the inhabited places of the country.

¹⁴ I will feed them with good pasture; and on the mountains of the height of Israel shall their fold be: there shall they lie down in a good fold; and on fat pasture shall they feed on the mountains of Israel.

¹⁵ I myself will be the shepherd of my sheep, and I will cause them to lie down, says the Lord Yahweh.

²³ I will set up one shepherd over them, and he shall feed them, even my servant David; he shall feed them, and he shall be their shepherd.

²⁹ I will raise up to them a plantation for renown, and they shall be no more consumed with famine in the land, neither bear the shame of the nations any more.

¹³ He made him ride on the high places of the earth, He ate the increase of the field; He made him to suck honey out of the rock, Oil out of the flinty rock;
