I am poured out like water, and all My bones are out of joint; My heart is like wax; It

has melted within Me. 15 My strength is dried up like a potsherd, And My tongue

clings to My jaws; You have brought Me to the dust of death. 16 For dogs have

surrounded Me; The congregation of the wicked has enclosed Me. They pierced My

hands and My feet; 17 I can count all My bones. They look and stare at Me. 18 They

divide My garments among them, And for My clothing they cast lots. 19 But You, O

LORD, do not be far from Me; O My Strength, hasten to help Me! 20 Deliver Me from

the sword, My precious life from the power of the dog. 21 Save Me from the lion’s

mouth and from the horns of the wild oxen! You have answered Me. 22 I will declare

nor your female servant, nor your cattle, nor your stranger who is within your

Sabbath day and hallowed it

who sowed good seed in his field; 25  but while men slept, his enemy came and sowed

tares among the wheat and went his way. 26  But when the grain had sprouted and

produced a crop, then the tares also appeared. 27  So the servants of the owner came

and said to him, ‘Sir, did you not sow good seed in your field? How then does it have

tares?’ 28  He said to them, ‘An enemy has done this.’ The servants said to him, ‘Do

you want us then to go and gather them up?’ 29  But he said, ‘No, lest while you

gather up the tares you also uproot the wheat with them. 30  Let both grow together

until the harvest, and at the time of harvest I will say to the reapers, “First gather

together the tares and bind them in bundles to burn them, but gather the wheat

into my barn.”’

Likewise the Spirit also helps in our weaknesses. For we do not know what we

should pray for as we ought, but the Spirit Himself makes intercession for us with

what the mind of the Spirit is, because He makes intercession for the saints

according to the will of God.

spoke concerning the Spirit, whom those believing in Him would receive; for the

Holy Spirit was not yet given, because Jesus was not yet glorified

4. Revelation Emerges

1 Corinthians 14:2

For he who speaks in a tongue does not speak to men but to God, for no one

understands him; however, in the spirit he speaks mysteries (secrets).
