³ And He saith to me, `My servant Thou art, O Israel, In whom I beautify Myself.'

²³ Sing, O heavens, for Jehovah hath wrought, Shout, O lower parts of earth, Break forth, O mountains, with singing, Forest, and every tree in it, For Jehovah hath redeemed Jacob, And in Israel He doth beautify Himself.

⁸ Hear, I pray thee, Joshua, the high priest, Thou and thy companions sitting before thee, (For men of type `are' they,) For lo, I am bringing in My servant -- a Shoot.

⁹ and ye `are' a choice race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people acquired, that the excellences ye may shew forth of Him who out of darkness did call you to His wondrous light;

¹³ Lo, My servant doth act wisely, He is high, and hath been lifted up, And hath been very high.

¹ Lo, My servant, I take hold on him, My chosen one -- My soul hath accepted, I have put My Spirit upon him, Judgment to nations he bringeth forth.

⁶ who, being in the form of God, thought `it' not robbery to be equal to God,

⁷ but did empty himself, the form of a servant having taken, in the likeness of men having been made,

⁸ and in fashion having been found as a man, he humbled himself, having become obedient unto death -- death even of a cross,

⁹ wherefore, also, God did highly exalt him, and gave to him a name that `is' above every name,

¹⁰ that in the name of Jesus every knee may bow -- of heavenlies, and earthlies, and what are under the earth --

¹¹ and every tongue may confess that Jesus Christ `is' Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

⁶ to the praise of the glory of His grace, in which He did make us accepted in the beloved,

⁴ I did glorify Thee on the earth, the work I did finish that Thou hast given me, that I may do `it'.

¹ These things spake Jesus, and lifted up his eyes to the heaven, and said -- `Father, the hour hath come, glorify Thy Son, that Thy Son also may glorify Thee,

⁸ `In this was my Father glorified, that ye may bear much fruit, and ye shall become my disciples.

³¹ When, therefore, he went forth, Jesus saith, `Now was the Son of Man glorified, and God was glorified in him;

³² if God was glorified in him, God also will glorify him in Himself; yea, immediately He will glorify him.

²⁸ Father, glorify Thy name.' There came, therefore, a voice out of the heaven, `I both glorified, and again I will glorify `it';'

¹⁰ And the messenger said to them, `Fear not, for lo, I bring you good news of great joy, that shall be to all the people --

¹¹ because there was born to you to-day a Saviour -- who is Christ the Lord -- in the city of David,

¹² and this `is' to you the sign: Ye shall find a babe wrapped up, lying in the manger.'

¹³ And suddenly there came with the messenger a multitude of the heavenly host, praising God, and saying,

¹⁴ `Glory in the highest to God, and upon earth peace, among men -- good will.'

⁵ While he is yet speaking, lo, a bright cloud overshadowed them, and lo, a voice out of the cloud, saying, `This is My Son, -- the Beloved, in whom I did delight; hear him.'

¹⁰ And Jehovah hath delighted to bruise him, He hath made him sick, If his soul doth make an offering for guilt, He seeth seed -- he prolongeth days, And the pleasure of Jehovah in his hand doth prosper.

²¹ This people I have formed for Myself, My praise they recount.
