5th Sunday of Lent

31“Behold, the days come,” says the LORD, “that I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel, and with the house of Judah, 32not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day that I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt, which covenant of mine they broke, although I was a husband to them,” says the LORD.

33“But this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days,” says the LORD:

“I will put my law in their inward parts,

and I will write it in their heart.

I will be their God,

and they shall be my people.

34They will no longer each teach his neighbor,

and every man teach his brother, saying, ‘Know the LORD;’

for they will all know me,

from their least to their greatest,” says the LORD,

“for I will forgive their iniquity,

and I will remember their sin no more.”

1Have mercy on me, God, according to your loving kindness.

According to the multitude of your tender mercies, blot out my transgressions.

2Wash me thoroughly from my iniquity.

Cleanse me from my sin.

…

10Create in me a clean heart, O God.

Renew a right spirit within me.

11Don’t throw me from your presence,

and don’t take your Holy Spirit from me.

12Restore to me the joy of your salvation.

Uphold me with a willing spirit.

13Then I will teach transgressors your ways.

Sinners will be converted to you.

7He, in the days of his flesh, having offered up prayers and petitions with strong crying and tears to him who was able to save him from death, and having been heard for his godly fear, 8though he was a Son, yet learned obedience by the things which he suffered. 9Having been made perfect, he became to all of those who obey him the author of eternal salvation,

20Now there were certain Greeks among those who went up to worship at the feast. 21Therefore, these came to Philip, who was from Bethsaida of Galilee, and asked him, saying, “Sir, we want to see Jesus.” 22Philip came and told Andrew, and in turn, Andrew came with Philip, and they told Jesus. 23Jesus answered them, “The time has come for the Son of Man to be glorified. 24Most certainly I tell you, unless a grain of wheat falls into the earth and dies, it remains by itself alone. But if it dies, it bears much fruit. 25He who loves his life will lose it. He who hates his life in this world will keep it to eternal life. 26If anyone serves me, let him follow me. Where I am, there my servant will also be. If anyone serves me, the Father will honor him. 27“Now my soul is troubled. What shall I say? ‘Father, save me from this time’? But I came to this time for this cause. 28Father, glorify your name!” Then a voice came out of the sky, saying, “I have both glorified it and will glorify it again.” 29Therefore the multitude who stood by and heard it said that it had thundered. Others said, “An angel has spoken to him.” 30Jesus answered, “This voice hasn’t come for my sake, but for your sakes. 31Now is the judgment of this world. Now the prince of this world will be cast out. 32And I, if I am lifted up from the earth, will draw all people to myself.” 33But he said this, signifying by what kind of death he should die.
