Now the LORD has spoken who formed me as his servant from the womb that Jacob may be brought back to him and Israel gathered to him; and I am made glorious in the sight of the LORD, and my God is now my strength It is too little, the LORD says, for you to be my servant, to raise up the tribes of Jacob, and restore the survivors of Israel; I will make you a light to the nations that my salvation may reach to the ends of the earth. R. (8a and 9a) Here am I, Lord; I come to do your will. . I announced your justice in the vast assembly; I did not restrain my lips, as you, O LORD, know. R. Here am I, Lord; I come to do your will. 1 Cor 1.1-3 "Paul, called to be an apostle of Christ Jesus by the will of God, and Sosthenes our brother, to the church of God that is in Corinth to you who have been sanctified in Christ Jesus, called to be holy with all those everywhere who call upon the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, their Lord and ours. Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ John the Baptist saw Jesus coming toward him an John 1.29-34 "John the Baptist saw Jesus coming toward him and said“Behold, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world. He is the one of whom I said‘A man is coming after me who ranks ahead of me because he existed before me.’ I did not know him, but the reason why I came baptizing with water was that he might be made known to Israel.” John testified further, saying,“I saw the Spirit come down like a dove from heaven and remain upon him. I did not know him, but the one who sent me to baptize with water told me,‘On whomever you see the Spirit come down and remain he is the one who will baptize with the Holy Spirit.’ Now I have seen and testified that he is the Son of God.”
