2 Kings 17:24-41
24 The king of Assyria brought people from Babylon, Kuthah, Avva, Hamath and Sepharvaim and settled them in the towns of Samaria to replace the Israelites. They took over Samaria and lived in its towns. 25 When they first lived there, they did not worship the Lord; so he sent lions among them and they killed some of the people. 26 It was reported to the king of Assyria: “The people you deported and resettled in the towns of Samaria do not know what the god of that country requires. He has sent lions among them, which are killing them off, because the people do not know what he requires.”
27 Then the king of Assyria gave this order: “Have one of the priests you took captive from Samaria go back to live there and teach the people what the god of the land requires.” 28 So one of the priests who had been exiled from Samaria came to live in Bethel and taught them how to worship the Lord.
29 Nevertheless, each national group made its own gods in the several towns where they settled, and set them up in the shrines the people of Samaria had made at the high places. 30 The people from Babylon made Sukkoth Benoth, those from Kuthah made Nergal, and those from Hamath made Ashima; 31 the Avvites made Nibhaz and Tartak, and the Sepharvites burned their children in the fire as sacrifices to Adrammelek and Anammelek, the gods of Sepharvaim. 32 They worshiped the Lord, but they also appointed all sorts of their own people to officiate for them as priests in the shrines at the high places. 33 They worshiped the Lord, but they also served their own gods in accordance with the customs of the nations from which they had been brought.
34 To this day they persist in their former practices. They neither worship the Lord nor adhere to the decrees and regulations, the laws and commands that the Lord gave the descendants of Jacob, whom he named Israel. 35 When the Lord made a covenant with the Israelites, he commanded them: “Do not worship any other gods or bow down to them, serve them or sacrifice to them. 36 But the Lord, who brought you up out of Egypt with mighty power and outstretched arm, is the one you must worship. To him you shall bow down and to him offer sacrifices. 37 You must always be careful to keep the decrees and regulations, the laws and commands he wrote for you. Do not worship other gods. 38 Do not forget the covenant I have made with you, and do not worship other gods. 39 Rather, worship the Lord your God; it is he who will deliver you from the hand of all your enemies.”
​
40 They would not listen, however, but persisted in their former practices. 41 Even while these people were worshiping the Lord, they were serving their idols. To this day their children and grandchildren continue to do as their ancestors did.
1 Chronicles 17:13
11 When your days are over and you go to be with your ancestors, I will raise up your offspring to succeed you, one of your own sons, and I will establish his kingdom. 12 He is the one who will build a house for me, and I will establish his throne forever. 13 I will be his father, and he will be my son. I will never take my love away from him, as I took it away from your predecessor. 14 I will set him over my house and my kingdom forever; his throne will be established forever.’”
Job 19:25-27
25 I know that my redeemer lives, and that in the end he will stand on the earth. 26 And after my skin has been destroyed, yet in my flesh I will see God; 27 I myself will see him with my own eyes—I, and not another. How my heart yearns within me!

I will rescue them from all the places where they were scattered on a day of clouds and darkness. 13 I will bring them out from the nations and gather them from the countries, and I will bring them into their own land. I will pasture them on the mountains of Israel, in the ravines and in all the settlements in the land. 14 I will tend them in a good pasture, and the mountain heights of Israel will be their grazing land. There they will lie down in good grazing land, and there they will feed in a rich pasture on the mountains of Israel. 15 I myself will tend my sheep and have them lie down', declares Yahweh of heaven's armies. 16 "I will search for the lost and bring back the strays.

Isn’t his mother named Mary, and his brothers, James, Joseph, Simon, and Judas? 56 And aren’t his sisters here among us? Where has this man acquired these things [he has taught and demonstrated to us]?” 57 And so they talked themselves out of believing in him.

She has done a good work for me. 11 For you will always have the poor with you, but you will not always have me. 12 For she has poured out this ointment on my body for my burial. 13 I tell you the truth, wherever the good news is proclaimed around the world, the story will be told about what this woman has done, to honor her.”

I feel the life drained out of me to the point of death. Stay here and watch with me.” 39 And he went a little farther and lay on his face, praying, “My Father, if you can, let this cup [of suffering] be taken away from me! Even so, not as I will, but as you will.” 40 And he came back to the disciples, and said to Peter, “Couldn’t you watch with me for one hour? 41 Watch, pray that you not enter testing. The spirit is truly willing, but the spirit is weak.” 42 He went away a second time and prayed, saying, “My Father, if this cup can’t pass from me unless I drink it, then may your will be done. [I must complete your plan and go through the suffering.]” 43 And he came back again and found his disciples asleep for their eyes were heavy. 44 And he left them again and prayed a third time the same words. 45 Then he returned to his disciples and said to them, “Go ahead and sleep and get some rest, for the time has arrived where the Son of Man is betrayed into the hands of sinners.”
Matthew 26:52-53

1 It was now two days before the Passover and the Feast of Unleavened Bread. The chief priests and the interpreters of the Law were trying to figure out how to catch him through trickery and put him to death, 2 but “not during the feast”, they said, or it might cause an uproar among the people. 3 Jesus was in Bethany at the house of Simon the Leper, and he was reclining at the table. A woman came with an alabaster box containing pure spikenard ointment, and she broke the box and poured the ointment over Jesus' head. 4 There were some who said to themselves indignantly, “Why was this ointment wasted? 5 For it could have been sold for over three hundred denarii and the money given to the poor.” And they spoke against her. 6 But Jesus replied, “Leave her alone. Why are you giving her a hard time? She has done a beautiful thing for me. 7 You will always have the poor around you, and you can do good for them any time you wish. But you won't always have me. 8 She has done what was within her means to do. She has anointed my body beforehand for burial. 9 Wherever the Good News is declared, people will tell the story of what she has done to honor her.”
Mark 14:32-42
32 And they went to a place called Gethsemane and Jesus told the disciples, “Sit here while I pray”. 33 And he took with him Peter, and James, and John, 34 and he began to feel terrified and distressed, saying to them, “I am suffering so deeply I feel like I am dying. Stay [with me] and watch [and pray with me].” 35 He moved just a little forward and fell to the ground, praying that if possible this time [of suffering] might leave him. 36 And he said, “Daddy, Father, all things are possible for you. Take this cup [of your wrath] from me. Yet not my desire, but yours, be done.” 37 he came over but found the disciples sleeping, and he said to Peter, “Simon, are you sleeping? Could you not keep watch even one hour? 38 Keep watch and pray, so that you don't allow a test [from Satan] to overtake you. [I can see that, for all of us, our] spirit is willing but [our] flesh is weak.” 39 Again, he went away and prayed, speaking the same words. 40 Again, when he returned, he found them sleeping, for their eyes were heavy, and they did not know even what to answer him. [He went away] 41 and he returned a third time, saying, “Now [you might as well] sleep and get your rest [a few more minutes]. It is enough! For the time has arrived when the Son of Man is betrayed into the hands of sinners."

Luke 7:35-50
36 One of the Pharisees invited him to eat, so Jesus came, entered the Pharisee's house, and reclined for the meal. 37 There was a woman of that city who, when she found out that Jesus was eating at the Pharisee's house, brought an alabaster box of ointment. 38 Positioned behind Jesus, at his feet, she wept, and washed his feet with her tears, wiped them dry with her hair, and then kissed his feet and anointed them with the ointment. 39 Now, when the Pharisee who had invited him witnessed this, he said to himself, “If this man were truly a prophet, he would have known who this woman is and what kind of person, since she is a sinner who has touched him [and made him unclean].” 40 And Jesus, answering [this unspoken question], said, “Simon, I have something to say to you,” and Simon replied, “Teacher, go ahead and speak.” 41 [Jesus said,] “Once there were two men who owed money to the same lender. One owed five hundred denarii and the other owed fifty denarii. 42 When neither one of them could pay him, he graciously forgave their debt. Which one do you suppose will love him more?” 43 Simon answered, “I suppose the one who was forgiven more.” Jesus said, “You have judged correctly.” 44 Turning to the woman, but speaking to Simon, Jesus said, “Do you see this woman? You provided no water to wash my feet when I came to your house, but this woman has washed my feet with her tears and then dried them with her hair. 45 You never greeted me with a kiss, but she has not stopped kissing my feet. 46 You didn't anoint my head with oil, but she has anointed my feet with ointment. 47 I tell you, her sins, which are many, have been forgiven, and so she loves much, but he who has been forgiven little, loves little.” 48 And he said to her, “Your sins are forgiven.” 49 And those that sat at the meal with him began to say to themselves, “Who is this, who even forgives sins?” 50 Jesus then said to the woman, “Your faith has made you whole. [Wholeness means an absence of sin and guilt as well as no sickness.] Go in peace.”

39 He left the house and went to the usual place, the Mount of Olives, and his disciples followed him. 40 When he arrived there, he said to them, “Pray that you not fail the test.” 41 He withdrew from them about a stone's throw away, and he knelt down and prayed, saying, 42 “Father, take this cup [of suffering] from me. Yet not my own will but yours be done.” 43 An angel from heaven appeared to him and strengthened him. 44 And he was in such anguish that he prayed more intensely, and his sweat became like large drops of blood that fell to the ground. 45 And when he rose from prayer, and went to his disciples, he found them having fallen asleep from their grief. 46 And he said to them, “Why are you sleeping? You need to get up and pray, so you will not fail your testing!”
