1O God of all, take pity on us, and look with favor on us, and show us the light of your compassion. 2And send your fear upon the Gentiles, who have not sought you, so that they may acknowledge that there is no God except you, and so that they may declare your great deeds. 3Lift up your hand over unbelieving nations, so that they may see your power. 4For just as, in their sight, you have been sanctified in us, so also, in our sight, you will be magnified in them. 5So may they know you, as we also have known you. For there is no God apart from you, O Lord. 6Renew your signs, and work new wonders. 7Glorify your hand and your right arm. 8Stir up your fury, and pour out your wrath. 9Take away our adversary, and afflict our enemy. 10Hasten the time, and remember the end, so that they may declare your miracles. 11Let those who escape be devoured by the wrath of fire. And let those who harass your people find perdition. 12Crush the head of the leaders of the enemies, for they say: “There is no other beside us.” 13Gather together all the tribes of Jacob, so that they may acknowledge that there is no God except you, and so that they may declare your great deeds. And you will inherit them, as from the beginning. 14Take pity on your people, over whom your name has been invoked, and on Israel, whom you have treated as your firstborn. 15Take pity on Jerusalem, the city of your sanctification, the city of your rest. 16Fill Zion with your ineffable words, and fill your people with your glory. 17Give testimony to those who have been your creations from the beginning, and lift up the prophecies which the former prophets spoke in your name.
8Do not remember our iniquities of the past. May your mercies quickly intercept us, for we have become exceedingly poor. 9Help us, O God, our Savior. And free us, Lord, for the glory of your name. And forgive us our sins for the sake of your name. 10Let them not say among the Gentiles, “Where is their God?” And may your name become known among the nations before our eyes. For the retribution of your servants’ blood, which has been poured out: 11may the groans of the shackled enter before you. According to the greatness of your arm, take possession of the sons of those who have been killed. 12And repay our neighbors sevenfold within their sinews. It is the reproach of the same ones who brought reproach against you, O Lord. 13But we are your people and the sheep of your pasture: we will give thanks to you in all ages. From generation to generation, we will announce your praise.
32Now they were on the way ascending to Jerusalem. And Jesus went ahead of them, and they were astonished. And those following him were afraid. And again, taking aside the twelve, he began to tell them what was about to happen to him. 33“For behold, we are going up to Jerusalem, and the Son of man will be handed over to the leaders of the priests, and to the scribes, and the elders. And they will condemn him to death, and they will hand him over to the Gentiles. 34And they will mock him, and spit on him, and scourge him, and put him to death. And on the third day, he will rise again.” 35And James and John, the sons of Zebedee, drew near to him, saying, “Teacher, we wish that whatever we will ask, you would do for us.” 36But he said to them, “What do you want me to do for you?” 37And they said, “Grant to us that we may sit, one at your right and the other at your left, in your glory.” 38But Jesus said to them: “You do not know what you are asking. Are you able to drink from the chalice from which I drink, or to be baptized with the baptism with which I am to be baptized?” 39But they said to him, “We can.” Then Jesus said to them: “Indeed, you shall drink from the chalice, from which I drink; and you shall be baptized with the baptism, with which I am to be baptized. 40But to sit at my right, or at my left, is not mine to give to you, but it is for those for whom it has been prepared.” 41And the ten, upon hearing this, began to be indignant toward James and John. 42But Jesus, calling them, said to them: “You know that those who seem to be leaders among the Gentiles dominate them, and their leaders exercise authority over them. 43But it is not to be this way among you. Instead, whoever would become greater shall be your minister; 44and whoever will be first among you shall be the servant of all. 45So, too, the Son of man has not come so that they would minister to him, but so that he would minister and would give his life as a redemption for many.”
