Isaiah 61:10-62:3
New International Version
10 I delight greatly in the Lord;
my soul rejoices(A) in my God.
For he has clothed me with garments of salvation
and arrayed me in a robe of his righteousness,(B)
as a bridegroom adorns his head(C) like a priest,
and as a bride(D) adorns herself with her jewels.
11 For as the soil makes the sprout come up
and a garden(E) causes seeds to grow,
so the Sovereign Lord will make righteousness(F)
and praise spring up before all nations.
Zion’s New Name
62 For Zion’s sake I will not keep silent,(G)
for Jerusalem’s sake I will not remain quiet,
till her vindication(H) shines out like the dawn,(I)
her salvation(J) like a blazing torch.
2 The nations(K) will see your vindication,
and all kings your glory;
you will be called by a new name(L)
that the mouth of the Lord will bestow.
3 You will be a crown(M) of splendor in the Lord’s hand,
a royal diadem in the hand of your God.
Luke 2:15-20
New International Version
15 When the angels had left them and gone into heaven, the shepherds said to one another, “Let’s go to Bethlehem and see this thing that has happened, which the Lord has told us about.”
16 So they hurried off and found Mary and Joseph, and the baby, who was lying in the manger.(A) 17 When they had seen him, they spread the word concerning what had been told them about this child, 18 and all who heard it were amazed at what the shepherds said to them. 19 But Mary treasured up all these things and pondered them in her heart.(B) 20 The shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God(C) for all the things they had heard and seen, which were just as they had been told.
