“Oh that you would bless me,… and that you would keep me from harm….” And God granted what he asked.

The blessing of the Lord makes rich, and he adds no sorrow with it.—“When he is quiet, who can condemn? When he hides his face, who can behold him?”

Salvation belongs to the Lord; your blessing be on your people!—Oh, how abundant is your goodness, which you have stored up for those who fear you and worked for those who take refuge in you, in the sight of the children of mankind!—“I do not ask that you take them out of the world, but that you keep them from the evil one.”

“Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives, and the one who seeks finds, and to the one who knocks it will be opened.”—The Lord redeems the life of his servants; none of those who take refuge in him will be condemned.

It was a night of watching by the Lord, to bring them out of the land of Egypt.

The Lord Jesus on the night when he was betrayed took bread, and when he had given thanks, he broke it, and said, “This is my body which is for you. Do this in remembrance of me.” In the same way also he took the cup, after supper, saying, “This cup is the new covenant in my blood. Do this, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of me.”

He… knelt down and prayed…. And being in an agony he prayed more earnestly; and his sweat became like great drops of blood falling down to the ground.

Now it was the day of Preparation of the Passover. It was about the sixth hour…. So he delivered him over to them to be crucified. So they took Jesus, and he went out… to the place called… Golgotha. There they crucified him.

Christ, our Passover lamb, has been sacrificed. Let us therefore celebrate the festival.
