Mark 1:9-13
9 It happened during those days
That Jesus
Came from Nazareth in Galilee
And was baptized by John
In the Jordan
10 And immediately
As he came up out of the water
He saw heavens rent apart
And the Spirit as a dove
Coming down upon him
11 And there was a voice
Out of the heavens
Thou art my son
The beloved
I rejoice in thee
12 Straight away
The Spirit drove him out
Into the desert
13 He was in the desert
For forty days
Being tempted by Satan
He was with the wild creatures
And the angels served him
Luke 10:21-24
21 In that very hour
He was filled
With the joy of the Holy Spirit
And said
I give praise to you
Father
Lord of Heaven
And of Earth
Because you have hidden these things
From the wise and the able
And have revealed them to babes
Yes Father
As thus it was pleasing in your sight
22 All things
Were handed over to me
By my Father
And no one understands Who the Son is
Except the Father
And who the Father is
Except the Son
And those to whom
It is the willl of the Son
To reveal him
23 He turned to his disciples
Saying only to them
Blessed are the eyes
Which see the things you see
24 As I say to you
That many prophets and kings
Wished to have sight
Of the things which you see
But did not have sight of them
And to hear
The things whcih you hear
But did not hear them
John 1:1-5
1 In the Beginning
Was the Word
And the Word
Was with God
And the Word
Was God
2 He was in the Beginning
With God
3 Through him
Everything entered into existence
And without him
Nothing entered into existence
What existed
4 Was life in him
And the life was the light of mankind
5 And the light
Shines in the darkness
But the darkness
Has not taken hold of it
Matthew 6: 9-13
9 Therefore
You should pray like this
OUR FATHER
IN THE HEAVENS
MAY YOUR NAME
BE KEPT HOLY
10 YOUR KINGDOM COME
YOUR WILL BE DONE
AS IN HEAVEN
SO ALSO ON EARTH
11 THE BREAD WE NEED EVERY DAY
GIVE US TODAY
12 AND FORGIVE US OUR DEBTS
AS WE FORGIVE OUR DEBTORS
13 DO NOT BRING US TO THE TEST
BUT RESCUE US FROM THE EVIL ONE
Philippians 2:5-11
5 Have in you the same frame of mind as was in Christ Jesus,
6 for he was of divine form and nature, yet made no claim for himself to be like God.
7 Rather did he empty himself in offering and took on the form of a servant and appeared on earth as a man.
8 He submitted himself to the laws of earth existence, even to the experience of death, the deah on the cross
9 Therefore God has exalted him to the highest heights and given him the name which is above every other name;
10 and at the name of Jesus the knees of every being should bow, whether they be in the heavens or on the earth or in the depths of existence.
11 An in order that the Father God may be revealed, every tongue should confess that Christ is the Lord.
