Deuteronomy 18:15-18

A New Prophet like Moses

15 ^o“The Lord your God will raise up for you a prophet like me from among you, from your brothers—it is to him you shall listen— 16 just as you desired of the Lord your God at Horeb ^pon the day of the assembly, when you said, ^q‘Let me not hear again the voice of the Lord my God or see this great fire any more, lest I die.’ 17 And the Lord said to me, ^r‘They are right in what they have spoken. 18 ^sI will raise up for them a prophet like you from among their brothers. ^tAnd I will put my words in his mouth, and ^uhe shall speak to them all that I command him.

Psalms 2:6-12

6 “As for me, I have ^vset my King
on ^wZion, my ^xholy hill.”
7 I will tell of the decree:
The Lord said to me, ^y“You are my Son;
today I have begotten you.
8 Ask of me, and I will make the nations your heritage,
and ^zthe ends of the earth your possession.
9 You shall ^aabreak ^{▼▼Revocalization yields (compare Septuagint) You shall rule} them with ^aca rod of iron
and dash them in pieces like ^ada potter’s vessel.”
10 Now therefore, O kings, be wise;
be warned, O rulers of the earth.
11 ^aeServe the Lord with ^affear,
and ^agrejoice with ^ahtrembling.
12 ^aiKiss ^ajthe Son,
lest he be angry, and you perish in the way,
for his ^akwrath is quickly kindled.
^alBlessed are all who take refuge in him.

2 saying, “Where is he who has been born ^amking of the Jews? For we saw ^anhis star when it rose ^{▼▼Or in the east; also verse 9} and have come to ^apworship him.” 3 When Herod the king heard this, he was troubled, and all Jerusalem with him; 4 and assembling all the chief priests and scribes of the people, he inquired of them where ^aqthe Christ was to be born. 5 They told him, “In Bethlehem of Judea, for so it is written by the prophet:

6 ^ar“‘And you, O Bethlehem, in the land of Judah,
are by no means least among the rulers of Judah;
for from you shall come a ruler
who will ^asshepherd my people Israel.’”
