1.  "Later when the boy was older, his mother brought him back to Pharaoh's daughter, who adopted him as her own son.  The princess named him Moses, for she explained, "I lifted him out of the water."

2.  "After his baptism, as Jesus came up out of the water, the heavens were opened and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove and settling on him."

3.  "So I have come down to rescue them from the power of the Egyptians and lead them out of Egypt into their own fertile and spacious land.  It is al land flowing with milk and honey - the land where the Canaanites, Hittites, Amorites, Perizzites, Hivites, and Jebusites now live."

4.  "The Spirit of the LORD is upon me, for he has anointed me to bring Good News to the poor.  He has sent me to proclaim that captives will be released, that the blind will see, that the oppressed will be set free, and that the time of the LORD'S favor has come."

5.  "Then the LORD told him, "Reach out and grab its tail." So Moses reached out and grabbed it, and it turned back into a shepherd's staff in his hand.  Perform this sign, "the LORD told him."  Then they will believe that the LORD God of their ancestors - the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob-really has appeared to you."

6.  "So Jesus explained, "I tell you the truth, the Son can do nothing by himself.  He does only what he sees the Father doing.  Whatever the Father does, the Son also does.  For the Father loves the Son and shows him everything he is doing.  In fact, the Father will show him how to do even greater works than healing this man.  Then you will truly be astonished."

7.  "So Moses cried out to the LORD, "O God, I beg you, please heal her!"

8.  "Who then will condemn us? No one-for Christ Jesus died for us and was raised to life for us, and he is sitting in the place of honor at God's right hand, pleading for us."

9.  "Go back to Pharaoh," the LORD commanded Moses.  "Tell him, "This is what the LORD the God of the Hebrews, says: Let my people go, so they can worship me."

10.  "Just think how much more the blood of Christ will purify our consciences from sinful deeds so that we can worship the living God.  For by the power of the eternal Spirit, Christ offered himself to God as a perfect sacrifice for our sins."
