He did not say this on his own, but as high priest that year he prophesied that Jesus would die for the Jewish nation,

He did not say this of his own accord, but being high priest that year he prophesied that Jesus would die for the nation,

He did not say this on his own; as high priest at that time he was led to prophesy that Jesus would die for the entire nation.

He did not say this on his own, but being high priest that year he prophesied that Jesus was going to die for the nation,

Now he did not say this on his own, but as he was high priest that year, he prophesied that Jesus was going to die for the nation;

Now this he did not say on his own authority; but being high priest that year he prophesied that Jesus would die for the nation,

Now this he said not of himself: but being high priest that year, he prophesied that Jesus should die for the nation;

He did not say this on his own, but being high priest that year he prophesied that Jesus was going to die for the nation,

And this spake he not of himself: but being high priest that year, he prophesied that Jesus should die for that nation;

( Now he did not say this on his own, but because he was high priest that year, he prophesied that Jesus was going to die for the Jewish nation,

Now he didn’t say this of himself, but being high priest that year, he prophesied that Jesus would die for the nation,

After the 62‘ weeks,’ the Anointed King will be put to death. His followers will desert him. And everything he has will be taken away from him. The army of the ruler who will come will destroy the city and the temple. The end will come like a flood. War will continue until the end. The Lord has ordered that many places be destroyed.

David learned that Saul was planning to attack him. So he said to Abiathar the priest,“ Bring the linen apron.”

Also put the Urim and Thummim into the chest cloth. Then they will be over Aaron’s heart when he comes to serve the Lord. In that way, Aaron will always have what he needs to make decisions for the people of Israel. He will carry the Urim and Thummim over his heart while he is serving the Lord.

Be like the Son of Man. He did not come to be served. Instead, he came to serve others. He came to give his life as the price for setting many people free.”

Many will say to me on that day,‘ Lord! Lord! Didn’t we prophesy in your name? Didn’t we drive out demons in your name? Didn’t we do many miracles in your name?’Then I will tell them clearly,‘ I never knew you. Get away from me, you who do evil!’

He asked the Lord for advice. But the Lord didn’t answer him through dreams or prophets. He didn’t answer him when Saul had the priest cast lots by using the Urim.

“ He himself carried our sins” in his body on the cross.( Isaiah 53:5) He did it so that we would die as far as sins are concerned. Then we would lead godly lives.“ His wounds have healed you.”( Isaiah 53:5)

Christ set us free from the curse of the law. He did it by becoming a curse for us. It is written,“ Everyone who is hung on a pole is under God’s curse.”( Deuteronomy 21:23)

They have left God’s way. They have wandered off. They follow the way of Balaam, son of Beor. He loved to get paid for doing his evil work.But a donkey corrected him for the wrong he did. Animals don’t speak. But the donkey spoke with a human voice. It tried to stop the prophet from doing a very dumb thing.These people are like springs without water. They are like mists driven by a storm. The blackest darkness is reserved for them.

God gave Christ as a sacrifice to pay for sins through the spilling of his blood. So God forgives the sins of those who have faith. God did all this to prove that he does what is right. He is a God of mercy. So he did not punish for their sins the people who lived before Jesus lived.God did all this to prove in our own time that he does what is right. He also makes right with himself those who believe in Jesus.

Suppose I have the gift of prophecy. Suppose I can understand all the secret things of God and know everything about him. And suppose I have enough faith to move mountains. If I don’t have love, I am nothing at all.

He looked out and saw Israel. They had set up their camps tribe by tribe. The Spirit of God came on him.

But the servant was pierced because we had sinned. He was crushed because we had done what was evil. He was punished to make us whole again. His wounds have healed us.All of us are like sheep. We have wandered away from God. All of us have turned to our own way. And the Lord has placed on his servant the sins of all of us.He was treated badly and made to suffer. But he didn’t open his mouth. He was led away like a lamb to be killed. Sheep are silent while their wool is being cut off. In the same way, he didn’t open his mouth.He was arrested and sentenced to death. Then he was taken away. He was cut off from this life. He was punished for the sins of my people. Who among those who were living at that time tried to stop what was happening?

But then the chosen time came. God sent his Son. A woman gave birth to him. He was born under the authority of the law.He came to set free those who were under the authority of the law. He wanted us to be adopted as children with all the rights children have.

Now I’m going back to my people. But come. Let me warn you about what these people will do to your people in days to come.”Then Balaam spoke the message he had received from God. He said,“ Here is the message God gave Balaam, the son of Beor. It’s the message God gave to the one who sees clearly.It’s the message God gave to the one who hears the words of God. The Most High God has given him knowledge. He sees a vision from the Mighty One. He falls down flat with his face toward the ground. His eyes have been opened by the Lord.“ I see him, but I don’t see him now. I view him, but he isn’t near. A star will come from among the people of Jacob. A king will rise up out of Israel. He’ll crush the foreheads of the people of Moab. He’ll crush the heads of all the people of Sheth.He’ll win the battle over Edom. He’ll win the battle over his enemy Seir. But Israel will grow strong.A ruler will come from among the people of Jacob. He’ll destroy those from the city who are still alive.”Then Balaam saw the Amalekites. He spoke the message he had received from God. He said,“ Amalek was the first nation to attack Israel. But their end will be total destruction.”Then Balaam saw the Kenites. He spoke the message he had received from God. He said,“ The place where you live is safe. Your nest is on a high cliff.But you Kenites will be destroyed. Ashur will take you as prisoners.”Then Balaam spoke the message he had received from God. He said,“ Who can live when God does this?Ships will come from the shores of Cyprus. They will bring Ashur and Eber under their control. But they themselves will also be destroyed.”Then Balaam got up and returned home. And Balak went on his way.

Christ also suffered once for sins. The one who did what is right suffered for those who don’t do right. He suffered to bring you to God. His body was put to death. But the Holy Spirit brought him back to life.

They know me just as the Father knows me and I know the Father. And I give my life for the sheep.

Again the Israelites spoke to the Lord. In those days the ark of the covenant of God was there.Phinehas was serving as priest at the ark. He was the son of Eleazar. Eleazar was the son of Aaron. The Israelites asked,“ Should we go up again to fight against the men of Benjamin? They are our fellow Israelites.” The Lord answered,“ Go. Tomorrow I will hand them over to you.”

Then the Lord opened the donkey’s mouth. It said to Balaam,“ What have I done to you? Why did you hit me these three times?”

Christ didn’t have any sin. But God made him become sin for us. So we can be made right with God because of what Christ has done for us.
