| Baptism of our Lord | Isaias 42:1-2, 6 |
| The Latin: Ecce servus meus, suscipiam eum: electus meus, conplacuit sibi in illo anima mea: dedi spiritum meum super eum, iudicium gentibus proferet. Non clamabit, neque accipiet personam, nec audietur foris vox eius. Ego Dominus vocavi te in iustitia, et adprehendi manum tuam, et servavi. Et dedi te in foedus populi, in lucem gentium. |
The English: Behold my servant, I will uphold him: my elect, my soul delighteth in him: I have given my spirit upon him, he shall bring forth judgment to the Gentiles. He shall not cry, nor have respect to person, neither shall his voice be heard abroad. I the Lord have called thee in justice, and taken thee by the hand, and preserved thee. And I have given thee for a covenant of the people, for a light of the Gentiles. |
