³² He will be great and will be called the Son of ^(A)the Most High. And the Lord God ^(B)will give to him the throne of ^(C)his father David, ³³ and he will reign over the house of Jacob ^(D)forever, and of his kingdom there will be no end.”

³ Thus says the Lord: ^(A)I have returned to Zion and ^(B)will dwell in the midst of Jerusalem, ^(C)and Jerusalem shall be called the faithful city, ^(D)and the mountain of the Lord of hosts, the holy mountain.

Him Whom They Have Pierced

¹⁰ “And ^(A)I will pour out on the house of David and the inhabitants of Jerusalem a spirit of grace and ^(B)pleas for mercy, so that, ^(C)when they look on me, on him whom they have pierced, ^(D)they shall mourn for him, ^(E)as one mourns for an only child, and weep bitterly over him, as one weeps over a firstborn. ^11 (F)On that day ^(G)the mourning in Jerusalem will be as great ^(H)as the mourning for Hadad-rimmon in the plain of Megiddo. ¹² The land shall mourn, ^(I)each family^[a] by itself: the family of the house of David by itself, and their wives by themselves; the family of the house of ^(J)Nathan by itself, and their wives by themselves; ¹³ the family of the house of Levi by itself, and their wives by themselves; the family of ^(K)the Shimeites by itself, and their wives by themselves; ¹⁴ and all the families that are left, each by itself, and their wives by themselves.

² And he seized ^(A)the dragon, that ancient serpent, who is the devil and Satan, and ^(B)bound him for a thousand years, ³ and threw him into ^(C)the pit, and shut it and ^(D)sealed it over him, so that ^(E)he might not deceive the nations any longer, until the thousand years were ended. After that he must be released for a little while.

⁴ Then I saw ^(F)thrones, and ^(G)seated on them were those to whom the authority to judge was committed. Also I saw ^(H)the souls of those who had been beheaded for the testimony of Jesus and for the word of God, and those ^(I)who had not worshiped the beast or its image and had not received its mark on their foreheads or their hands. ^(J)They came to life and ^(K)reigned with Christ for a thousand years. ⁵ The rest of the dead did not come to life until the thousand years were ended. This is the first resurrection. ^6 (L)Blessed and holy is the one who shares in the first resurrection! Over such ^(M)the second death has no power, but they will be ^(N)priests of God and of Christ, and they ^(O)will reign with him for a thousand years.
