Isaiah 60:1-6
(1) Rise up to be illuminated, O Jerusalem! For your light has arrived, and the glory of the Lord has risen over you (2) For behold, darkness will cover the earth, and thick darkness will cover the peoples. Then the Lord will rise above you, and his glory will be seen in you (3) And the nations will walk in your light, and the kings will walk by the splendor of your rising (4) Lift up your eyes all around and see! All these have been gathered together; they have arrived before you. Your sons will arrive from far away, and your daughters will rise up from your side (5) Then you will see, and you will overflow, and your heart will be amazed and expanded. When the multitude of the sea will have been converted to you, the strength of the nations will approach you (6) A multitude of camels will inundate you: the dromedaries from Midian and Ephah. All those from Sheba will arrive, carrying gold and frankincense, and announcing praise to the Lord

The kings of Arabia and of Seba will bring gifts (11) And all the kings of the earth shall adore him.

(2) Now certainly, you have heard of the dispensation of the grace of God, which has been given to me among you (3) that, by means of revelation, the mystery was made known to me, just as I have written above in a few words (5) In other generations, this was unknown to the sons of men, even as it has now been revealed to his holy Apostles and Prophets in the Spirit (6) so that the Gentiles would be co-heirs, and of the same body, and partners together, by his promise in Christ Jesus, through the Gospel

(1) And so, when Jesus had been born in Bethlehem of Judah, in the days of king Herod, behold, Magi from the east arrived in Jerusalem (3) Now king Herod, hearing this, was disturbed, and all Jerusalem with him (4) And gathering together all the leaders of the priests, and the scribes of the people, he consulted with them as to where the Christ would be born (5) And they said to him: “In Bethlehem of Judea. For so it has been written by the prophet (6) ‘And you, Bethlehem, the land of Judah, are by no means least among the leaders of Judah. For from you shall go forth the ruler who shall guide my people Israel.’ (7) Then Herod, quietly calling the Magi, diligently learned from them the time when the star appeared to them (8) And sending them into Bethlehem, he said: “Go and diligently ask questions about the boy. And when you have found him, report back to me, so that I, too, may come and adore him. (9) And when they had heard the king, they went away. And behold, the star that they had seen in the east went before them, even until, arriving, it stood still above the place where the child was (10) Then, seeing the star, they were gladdened by a very great joy (11) And entering the home, they found the boy with his mother Mary. And so, falling prostrate, they adored him. And opening their treasures, they offered him gifts: gold, frankincense, and myrrh (12) And having received a response in sleep that they should not return to Herod, they went back by another way to their own region

(29) If you know that he is just, then know, too, that all who do what is just are born of him (1) See what kind of love the Father has given to us, that we would be called, and would become, the sons of God. Because of this, the world does not know us, for it did not know him (2) Most beloved, we are now the sons of God. But what we shall be then has not yet appeared. We know that when he does appear, we shall be like him, for we shall see him as he is (3) And everyone who holds this hope in him, keeps himself holy, just as he also is holy (4) Everyone who commits a sin, also commits iniquity. For sin is iniquity (5) And you know that he appeared in order that he might take away our sins. For in him there is no sin (6) Everyone who abides in him does not sin. For whoever sins has not seen him, and has not known him

Behold, he who takes away the sin of the world (30) This is the one about whom I said, ‘After me arrives a man, who has been placed ahead of me, because he existed before me. (31) And I did not know him. Yet it is for this reason that I come baptizing with water: so that he may be made manifest in Israel. (32) And John offered testimony, saying: “For I saw the Spirit descending from heaven like a dove; and he remained upon him (33) And I did not know him. But he who sent me to baptize with water said to me: ‘He over whom you will see the Spirit descending and remaining upon him, this is the one who baptizes with the Holy Spirit. (34) And I saw, and I gave testimony: that this one is the Son of God.

1-John 2:22-28
(22) Who is a liar, other than he who denies that Jesus is the Christ? This one is the Antichrist, who denies the Father and the Son (23) No one who denies the Son also has the Father. Whoever confesses the Son, also has the Father (24) As for you, let what you have heard from the beginning remain in you. If what you have heard from the beginning remains in you, then you, too, shall abide in the Son and in the Father (25) And this is the Promise, which he himself has promised to us: Eternal Life (26) I have written these things to you, because of those who would seduce you (27) But as for you, let the Anointing that you have received from him abide in you. And so, you have no need of anyone to teach you. For his Anointing teaches you about everything, and it is the truth, and it is not a lie. And just as his Anointing has taught you, abide in him (28) And now, little sons, abide in him, so that when he appears, we may have faith, and we may not be confounded by him at his advent

John 1:19-28
(19) And this is the testimony of John, when the Jews sent priests and Levites from Jerusalem to him, so that they might ask him, “Who are you? (20) And he confessed it and did not deny it; and what he confessed was: “I am not the Christ. (21) And they questioned him: “Then what are you? Are you Elijah?” And he said, “I am not.” “Are you the Prophet?” And he answered, “No. (22) Therefore, they said to him: “Who are you, so that we may give an answer to those who sent us? What do you say about yourself? (23) He said, “I am a voice crying out in the desert, ‘Make straight the way of the Lord,’ just as the prophet Isaiah said. (24) And some of those who had been sent were from among the Pharisees (25) And they questioned him and said to him, “Then why do you baptize, if you are not the Christ, and not Elijah, and not the Prophet? (26) John answered them by saying: “I baptize with water. But in your midst stands one, whom you do not know (27) The same is he who is to come after me, who has been placed ahead of me, the laces of whose shoes I am not worthy to loosen. (28) These things happened in Bethania, across the Jordan, where John was baptizing
