Psalms 31:15

And he said unto them, It is not for you to know the times or the seasons, which the Father hath put in his own power.

These words spake Jesus, and lifted up his eyes to heaven, and said, Father, the hour is come; glorify thy Son, that thy Son also may glorify thee:

Then Jesus said unto them, My time is not yet come: but your time is alway ready.

To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven: A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted; A time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to break down, and a time to build up; A time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance; A time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones together; a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing; A time to get, and a time to lose; a time to keep, and a time to cast away; A time to rend, and a time to sew; a time to keep silence, and a time to speak; A time to love, and a time to hate; a time of war, and a time of peace.

Attend unto my cry; for I am brought very low: deliver me from my persecutors; for they are stronger than I.

Why, seeing times are not hidden from the Almighty, do they that know him not see his days?

Keep me as the apple of the eye, hide me under the shadow of thy wings, From the wicked that oppress me, from my deadly enemies, who compass me about.

For I am now ready to be offered, and the time of my departure is at hand.

Deliver me, O Lord, from mine enemies: I flee unto thee to hide me.

David said furthermore, As the Lord liveth, the Lord shall smite him; or his day shall come to die; or he shall descend into battle, and perish.

And when thy days be fulfilled, and thou shalt sleep with thy fathers, I will set up thy seed after thee, which shall proceed out of thy bowels, and I will establish his kingdom.

For the enemy hath persecuted my soul; he hath smitten my life down to the ground; he hath made me to dwell in darkness, as those that have been long dead.

For mine enemies speak against me; and they that lay wait for my soul take counsel together, Saying, God hath forsaken him: persecute and take him; for there is none to deliver him. O God, be not far from me: O my God, make haste for my help.

Knowing that shortly I must put off this my tabernacle, even as our Lord Jesus Christ hath shewed me.

Saying, Fear not, Paul; thou must be brought before Cesar: and, lo, God hath given thee all them that sail with thee.

And I will make thee unto this people a fenced brasen wall: and they shall fight against thee, but they shall not prevail against thee: for I am with thee to save thee and to deliver thee, saith the Lord. And I will deliver thee out of the hand of the wicked, and I will redeem thee out of the hand of the terrible.

Now is my soul troubled; and what shall I say? Father, save me from this hour: but for this cause came I unto this hour.

Now before the feast of the passover, when Jesus knew that his hour was come that he should depart out of this world unto the Father, having loved his own which were in the world, he loved them unto the end.

Then they sought to take him: but no man laid hands on him, because his hour was not yet come.

And it came to pass, when the time was come that he should be received up, he stedfastly set his face to go to Jerusalem,

Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of his saints.

And of thy mercy cut off mine enemies, and destroy all them that afflict my soul: for I am thy servant.

Arise, O Lord, disappoint him, cast him down: deliver my soul from the wicked, which is thy sword:

And the night following the Lord stood by him, and said, Be of good cheer, Paul: for as thou hast testified of me in Jerusalem, so must thou bear witness also at Rome.
