5:2
But you, O Bethlehem of Ephrathah, who are one of the little
clans of Judah, from you shall come forth for me one who is to
rule in Israel, whose origin is from of old, from ancient days.
5:3
Therefore he shall give them up until the time when she who is
in labor has brought forth; then the rest of his kindred shall
return to the people of Israel.
5:4
And he shall stand and feed his flock in the strength of the
LORD, in the majesty of the name of the LORD his God. And they
shall live secure, for now he shall be great to the ends of the
earth;
5:5
and he shall be the one of peace.

10:5
Consequently, when Christ came into the world, he said,
"Sacrifices and offerings you have not desired, but a body
you have prepared for me;
10:6
in burnt offerings and sin offerings you have taken no pleasure.
10:7
Then I said, 'See, God, I have come to do your will, O God' (in
the scroll of the book it is written of me)."
10:8
When he said above, "You have neither desired nor taken
pleasure in sacrifices and offerings and burnt offerings and sin
offerings" (these are offered according to the law),
10:9
then he added, "See, I have come to do your will." He
abolishes the first in order to establish the second.
10:10
And it is by God's will that we have been sanctified through the
offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.

1:39
In those days Mary set out and went with haste to a Judean town
in the hill country,
1:40
where she entered the house of Zechariah and greeted Elizabeth.
1:41
When Elizabeth heard Mary's greeting, the child leaped in her
womb. And Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit
1:42
and exclaimed with a loud cry, "Blessed are you among
women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb.
1:43
And why has this happened to me, that the mother of my Lord
comes to me?
1:44
For as soon as I heard the sound of your greeting, the child in
my womb leaped for joy.
1:45
And blessed is she who believed that there would be a
fulfillment of what was spoken to her by the Lord."
