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

² looking to the author and perfecter of faith -- Jesus, who, over-against the joy set before him -- did endure a cross, shame having despised, on the right hand also of the throne of God did sit down;

¹⁸ no one doth take it from me, but I lay it down of myself; authority I have to lay it down, and authority I have again to take it; this command I received from my Father.'

³⁹ And having gone forward a little, he fell on his face, praying, and saying, `My Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me; nevertheless, not as I will, but as Thou.'

¹⁸ because also Christ once for sin did suffer -- righteous for unrighteous -- that he might lead us to God, having been put to death indeed, in the flesh, and having been made alive in the spirit,

⁹ for ye know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that because of you he became poor -- being rich, that ye by that poverty may become rich.

¹⁹ for as through the disobedience of the one man, the many were constituted sinners: so also through the obedience of the one, shall the many be constituted righteous.

⁵ The Lord Jehovah opened for me the ear, And I rebelled not -- backward I moved not.

⁶ My back I have given to those smiting, And my cheeks to those plucking out, My face I hid not from shame and spitting.

¹³ Christ did redeem us from the curse of the law, having become for us a curse, for it hath been written, `Cursed is every one who is hanging on a tree,'

²⁴ who our sins himself did bear in his body, upon the tree, that to the sins having died, to the righteousness we may live; by whose stripes ye were healed,

⁷ then I said, Lo, I come, (in a volume of the book it hath been written concerning me,) to do, O God, Thy will;'

⁸ saying above -- `Sacrifice, and offering, and burnt-offerings, and concerning sin-offering Thou didst not will, nor delight in,' -- which according to the law are offered --

⁹ then he said, `Lo, I come to do, O God, Thy will;' he doth take away the first that the second he may establish;

⁵ so also the Christ did not glorify himself to become chief priest, but He who spake unto him: `My Son thou art, I to-day have begotten thee;'

⁶ as also in another `place' He saith, `Thou `art' a priest -- to the age, according to the order of Melchisedek;'

⁷ who in the days of his flesh both prayers and supplications unto Him who was able to save him from death -- with strong crying and tears -- having offered up, and having been heard in respect to that which he feared,

⁸ through being a Son, did learn by the things which he suffered -- the obedience,

⁹ and having been made perfect, he did become to all those obeying him a cause of salvation age-during,

¹⁴ who did give himself for us, that he might ransom us from all lawlessness, and might purify to himself a peculiar people, zealous of good works;

³³ in his humiliation his judgment was taken away, and his generation -- who shall declare? because taken from the earth is his life.'

¹⁰ if my commandments ye may keep, ye shall remain in my love, according as I the commands of my Father have kept, and do remain in His love;

¹⁶ And to the dust of death thou appointest me, For surrounded me have dogs, A company of evil doers have compassed me, Piercing my hands and my feet.

⁶ Sacrifice and present Thou hast not desired, Ears Thou hast prepared for me, Burnt and sin-offering Thou hast not asked.

⁷ Then said I, `Lo, I have come,' In the roll of the book it is written of me,

⁸ To do Thy pleasure, my God, I have delighted, And Thy law `is' within my heart.

³³ The fear of Jehovah `is' the instruction of wisdom, And before honour `is' humility!

² and he was transfigured before them, and his face shone as the sun, and his garments did become white as the light,

⁴² Again, a second time, having gone away, he prayed, saying, `My Father, if this cup cannot pass away from me except I drink it, Thy will be done;'

² And after six days doth Jesus take Peter, and James, and John, and bringeth them up to a high mount by themselves, alone, and he was transfigured before them,

³ and his garments became glittering, white exceedingly, as snow, so as a fuller upon the earth is not able to whiten `them'.

²⁹ and it came to pass, in his praying, the appearance of his face became altered, and his garment white -- sparkling.

³⁴ Jesus saith to them, `My food is, that I may do the will of Him who sent me, and may finish His work;

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

²⁹ the multitude, therefore, having stood and heard, were saying that there hath been thunder; others said, `A messenger hath spoken to him.'

³⁰ Jesus answered and said, `Not because of me hath this voice come, but because of you;

³¹ now is a judgment of this world, now shall the ruler of this world be cast forth;

³² and I, if I may be lifted up from the earth, will draw all men unto myself.'

³¹ but that the world may know that I love the Father, and according as the Father gave me command so I do; arise, we may go hence.

²³ his corpse doth not remain on the tree, for thou dost certainly bury him in that day -- for a thing lightly esteemed of God `is' the hanged one -- and thou dost not defile thy ground which Jehovah thy God is giving to thee -- an inheritance.
