Psalm 110:1-4
King James Version
110 The Lord said unto my Lord,
Sit thou at my right hand,
until I make thine enemies thy footstool.
2 The Lord shall send the rod of thy strength
out of Zion:
rule thou in the midst of thine enemies.
3 Thy people shall be willing in the day of thy power,
in the beauties of holiness
from the womb of the morning:
thou hast the dew of thy youth.
4 The Lord hath sworn, and will not repent,
Thou art a priest for ever
after the order of Melchizedek.
Isaiah 61:1-3
King James Version
61 The Spirit of the Lord God is upon me;
because the Lord hath anointed me
to preach good tidings unto the meek;
he hath sent me to bind up the brokenhearted,
to proclaim liberty to the captives,
and the opening of the prison to them that are bound;
2 To proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord,
and the day of vengeance of our God;
to comfort all that mourn;
3 To appoint unto them that mourn in Zion,
to give unto them beauty for ashes,
the oil of joy for mourning,
the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness;
that they might be called trees of righteousness,
the planting of the Lord,
that he might be glorified.
Matthew 3:16-17

17 And lo a voice from heaven, saying,
This is my beloved Son,
in whom I am well pleased.

3 And, behold,
there appeared unto them Moses and Elias
talking with him.
4 Then answered Peter, and said unto Jesus,
Lord, it is good for us to be here:
if thou wilt, let us make here three tabernacles;
one for thee, and one for Moses, and one for Elias.
5 While he yet spake,
behold,
a bright cloud overshadowed them:
and behold a voice out of the cloud, which said,
This is my beloved Son,
in whom I am well pleased;
hear ye him.

and is on the right hand of God;
angels and authorities and powers
being made subject unto him.
