⁹ Moses made a serpent of brass, and set it on the standard: and it happened, that if a serpent had bitten any man, when he looked to the serpent of brass, he lived.

¹⁴ As Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of Man be lifted up,

¹⁵ that whoever believes in him should not perish, but have eternal life.

⁴ He removed the high places, and broke the pillars, and cut down the Asherah: and he broke in pieces the brazen serpent that Moses had made; for to those days the children of Israel did burn incense to it; and he called it Nehushtan.

¹⁰ I will pour on the house of David, and on the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the spirit of grace and of supplication; and they will look to me{After "me," the Hebrew has the two letters "Aleph Tav" (the first and last letters of the Hebrew alphabet), not as a word, but as a grammatical marker.} whom they have pierced; and they shall mourn for him, as one mourns for his only son, and will grieve bitterly for him, as one grieves for his firstborn.

² looking to Jesus, the author and perfecter of faith, who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.

²¹ For him who knew no sin he made to be sin on our behalf; so that in him we might become the righteousness of God.

³ For what the law couldn't do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God did, sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh and for sin, he condemned sin in the flesh;

²⁰ The law came in besides, that the trespass might abound; but where sin abounded, grace did abound more exceedingly;

²¹ that as sin reigned in death, even so might grace reign through righteousness to eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.

¹⁷ For in it is revealed God's righteousness from faith to faith. As it is written, "But the righteous shall live by faith."

³² And I, if I am lifted up from the earth, will draw all people to myself."

⁴⁰ This is the will of the one who sent me, that everyone who sees the Son, and believes in him, should have eternal life; and I will raise him up at the last day."

²⁹ The next day, he saw Jesus coming to him, and said, "Behold, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world!

²² Look to me, and be you saved, all the ends of the earth; for I am God, and there is none else.
