Hebrews
Chapter 9

15 For this reason he is mediator of a new covenant: since a death has taken place for deliverance from transgressions under the first covenant, those who are called may receive the promised eternal inheritance.

24 For Christ did not enter into a sanctuary made by hands, a copy of the true one, but heaven itself, that he might now appear before God on our behalf.

25 Not that he might offer himself repeatedly, as the high priest enters each year into the sanctuary with blood that is not his own;

26 if that were so, he would have had to suffer repeatedly from the foundation of the world. But now once for all he has appeared at the end of the ages ² to take away sin by his sacrifice.

27 Just as it is appointed that human beings die once, and after this the judgment,

28 so also Christ, offered once to take away the sins of many, ³ will appear a second time, not

to take away sin but to bring salvation to those who eagerly await him.

Psalms
Chapter 98

1 A psalm. ² Sing a new song to the LORD, who has done marvelous deeds, Whose right hand and holy arm have won the victory.

2 The LORD has made his victory known; has revealed his triumph for the nations to see,

3 Has remembered faithful love toward the house of Israel. All the ends of the earth have seen the victory of our God.

4 Shout with joy to the LORD, all the earth; break into song; sing praise.

5 Sing praise to the LORD with the harp, with the harp and melodious song.

6 With trumpets and the sound of the horn shout with joy to the King, the LORD.

Mark
Chapter 3

22 The scribes who had come from Jerusalem said, "He is possessed by Beelzebul," ¹ and "By the prince of demons he drives out demons."

23 Summoning them, he began to speak to them in parables, "How can Satan drive out Satan?

24 If a kingdom is divided against itself, that kingdom cannot stand.

25 And if a house is divided against itself, that house will not be able to stand.

26 And if Satan has risen up against himself and is divided, he cannot stand; that is the end of him.

27 But no one can enter a strong man's house to plunder his property unless he first ties up the strong man. Then he can plunder his house.

28 Amen, I say to you, all sins and all blasphemies that people utter will be forgiven them.

29 But whoever blasphemes against the holy Spirit ² will never have forgiveness, but is guilty of an everlasting sin."

30 For they had said, "He has an unclean spirit."
