18 It was the Lord who made it known to me, and I knew;
then you showed me their evil deeds.
19 But I was like a gentle lamb
led to the slaughter.
And I did not know it was against me
that they devised schemes, saying,
Let us destroy the tree with its fruit,
let us cut him off from the land of the living,
so that his name will no longer be remembered!
20 But you, O Lord of hosts, who judge righteously,
who try the heart and the mind,
let me see your retribution upon them,
for to you I have committed my cause.

1 O Lord my God, in you I take refuge; ♦︎
save me from all who pursue me, and deliver me,
2 Lest they rend me like a lion and tear me in pieces ♦︎
while there is no one to help me.
8 Give judgement for me
according to my righteousness, O Lord, ♦︎
and according to the innocence that is in me.
9 Let the malice of the wicked come to an end,
but establish the righteous; ♦︎
for you test the mind and heart, O righteous God.
10 God is my shield that is over me; ♦︎
he saves the true of heart.

40 When they heard these words, some in the crowd said, This is really the prophet. 41Others said, This is the Messiah.* But some asked, Surely the Messiah* does not come from Galilee, does he? 42Has not the scripture said that the Messiah* is descended from David and comes from Bethlehem, the village where David lived? 43So there was a division in the crowd because of him. 44Some of them wanted to arrest him, but no one laid hands on him.
45 Then the temple police went back to the chief priests and Pharisees, who asked them, Why did you not arrest him? 46The police answered, Never has anyone spoken like this! 47Then the Pharisees replied, Surely you have not been deceived too, have you? 48Has any one of the authorities or of the Pharisees believed in him? 49But this crowd, which does not know the lawthey are accursed. 50Nicodemus, who had gone to Jesus* before, and who was one of them, asked, 51Our law does not judge people without first giving them a hearing to find out what they are doing, does it? 52They replied, Surely you are not also from Galilee, are you? Search and you will see that no prophet is to arise from Galilee.
