Cry Out
13 Isaiah 40:1-2
1Comfort, comfort my people says your God.
2Speak comfortably to Jerusalem, and cry to her, for she was filled with violence and delighted in sin; and she has received from Yahvah's hand double punishment for all her sins.
40 John 1:15-17
15John witnessed concerning him and cried and said, This is the one whom I said, He is coming after me, yet he is ahead of me, because he was before me.
16And of his fullness we have all received, grace for grace.
17For the law was given by Moses; but truth and grace came into being by Jesus Messiah.
Voice
13 Isaiah 40:3-4
3The voice of him who cries in the wilderness, Prepare the way of Yahvah, make straight in the desert a highway for our God.
4Every valley will be filled up, and every mountain and hill will be made low; and the steep place will be made straight, and the rough places smooth;
40 John 1:23
23He said, I am the voice of one crying in the wilderness, Straighten the highway of Master, as the prophet Isaiah said.
Glory
13 Isaiah 40:5
5and the glory of Yahvah will be revealed, and all flesh will see it together; for the mouth of Yahvah has spoken it.

11This is the first miracle which Jesus performed in Cana of Galilee, and thus he showed his glory; and his disciples believed in him.
Cry
13 Isaiah 40:6-8
6The voice says, Cry. And he said, What will I cry? All flesh is grass, and all its beauty is like the flower of the field;
7the grass withers, the flower fades, because the breath of Yahvah blows on it; surely this people is like the grass.
8The grass withers, the flower fades; but the word of our God will stand forever.
40 John 11:43
43And when he had said this, he cried with a loud voice, Lazarus, come out.
Triumphal Entry
13 Isaiah 40:9-11
9Zion, that brings good news, get up on the high mountain; Jerusalem, that brings good news, lift up your voice with strength; lift it up, do not be afraid; say to the cities of Judah, Look your God.
10Look, Master Yahvah will come with might, and his arm with strength; look, his reward is with him, and his work before him.
11He will feed his flock like a shepherd; he will gather the lambs with his arm and carry them in his embrace, and will feed again those who nurse.
40 John 12:12-15
12On the next day, a large crowd which had come to the feast, when they heard that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem,
13took branches of palm trees, and went out to greet him, and they cried out and said, Hosanna, Blessed is the king of Israel who comes in the name of Master.
14And Jesus found a donkey and sat on it; as it is written,
15Do not fear, daughter of Zion; look, your king comes to you, riding on the colt of a donkey.
Hands
13 Isaiah 40:12
12Who has measured the waters in the hollow of his hand and meted out the skies with a span and gathered the dust of the land in a measure and weighed the mountains in scales and the hills in a balance?
40 John 13:3-5
3But Jesus, because he knew that the Father had given everything into his hands, and that he came from God and was going to God,
4rose from supper and laid aside his robe; and he took a cloth and tied it around his loins.
5Then he poured water into a basin, and began to wash the feet of his disciples and to wipe them with the cloth which was tied around his loins.
Teacher
13 Isaiah 40:13-14
13Who has directed the Spirit of Yahvah or who has been to him a counsellor?
14With whom did he take counsel, and who instructed him and made him understand the path of justice and taught him knowledge and showed him the way of understanding?
40 John 13:12-16
12When he had washed their feet, he put on his robes and sat down; and he said to them, Do you know what I have done to you?
13You call me Teacher and Master; and I am, what you say is correct.
14If I then, your Master and Teacher, have washed your feet, how much more should you wash one another's feet?
15For I have given you this as an example, so that just as I have done to you, you should do also.
16Truly, truly, I say to you, There is no servant who is greater than his master; and no apostle who is greater than he who sent him.
Chosen
13 Isaiah 40:15-17
15Look, the nations are like a drop out of a bucket, and are counted as the dipping of the balance; look, the isles will be cast away like fine dust.
16And Lebanon is not sufficient for the fuel, nor its animals sufficient for a burnt offering.
17All nations before him are as nothing; and they are counted to him for destruction and the sword.
40 John 13:18
18I do not say this concerning all of you, for I know those whom I have chosen; but that the Scripture might be fulfilled, He who eats bread with me has lifted up his heel against me.
?
13 Isaiah 40:18-20
18To whom then will you liken God? Or to what likeness will you compare him?
19Is he an image which the carpenter has made and the goldsmith has overlaid with gold and fastened with silver chains?
20He selects wood that is not worm-eaten; then chooses a carpenter, who fashions it with his skill, to make an image that will not be moved.
Tent/House
13 Isaiah 40:21-22
21Have you not heard? Have you not known? Has it not been told you from the beginning? Have you not understood from the foundations of the land?
22It is he who sits on the circle of the land, and its inhabitants are like grasshoppers; who stretches out the skies as a curtain and spreads them as a tent to live in;
40 John 14:2-3
2In my Father's house are many rooms; if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.
3And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and take you to me, so that where I am, you may be also.
Prince
13 Isaiah 40:23
23who brings princes to nothing; and makes the judges of the land as if they were nothing.
40 John 14:30
30Hereafter, I will not talk much with you; for the prince of this world comes; yet he has nothing against me.
Wither
13 Isaiah 40:24
24Yes, they will not be planted; yes, they will not be sown; yes, their stock will not take root in the land; and he will blow on them and they will wither, and the whirlwind will take them away as stubble.
40 John 15:6
6Unless a man remains with me, he will be cast outside like a branch which is withered, which they pick up and throw into the fire to be burned.
Compare

25To whom then will you liken me, or to whom will I be equal? Says the Holy One.
40 John 15:20
20Remember the word which I said to you, that no servant is greater than his master. If they have persecuted me, they will also persecute you; if they kept my word, they will also keep yours.
Look Up
13 Isaiah 40:26
26Lift up your eyes on high, and look: who has created these things? Who brings out their host by number; he called them all by name, by the greatness of his glory and the strength of his power; not 1 is missing.
40 John 17:1-5
1Jesus spoke these things, and then he lifted up his eyes to the skies and said, My Father, the hour has come; glorify your Son, so that your Son may glorify you,
2since you have given him power over all flesh, so that to all whom you have given him, he may give life eternal.
3And this is life eternal, that they might know you, that you are the only true God, even the one who sent Jesus Messiah.
4I have already glorified you on the land; for the work which you have given me to do, I have finished.
5So now, my Father, glorify me with you with the same glory which I had with you before the world was made.
Judgment
13 Isaiah 40:27
27Why do you say, Jacob, and say, Israel, My way is hidden from Yahvah and justice is not rendered by my God?
40 John 19:4-6
4Pilate went outside again and said to them, Look, I bring him outside to you, so that you may know that I find not even one cause against him.
5So Jesus went outside, wearing the crown of thorns and the purple robes. And Pilate said to them, Look at the man.
6When the high priests and the guards saw him, they cried out saying, Crucify him, crucify him. Pilate said to them, You take him and crucify him; for I find no cause in him.
Run
13 Isaiah 40:28-31
28Have you not known, have you not heard, that God is forever? Yahvah has created the ends of the land, he does not faint, nor does he weary, and there is no searching his understanding?
29He gives power to the weary, and to those who are struck with disease he increases strength.
30Even the youths will faint and be weary, and the young men will helplessly stumble;
31but they who wait for Yahvah will renew their strength; they will grow wings as a dove; they will run and not be weary; and they will walk and not faint.
40 John 20:1-9
1On the 1st day of the week, early in the morning, while it was yet dark, Mary Magdala came to the tomb; and she saw that the stone was removed from the tomb.
2Then she ran and came to Simon Peter and to the other disciple, whom Jesus loved, and she said to them, They have taken our Master out of that tomb, and I do not know where they have laid him.
3So Simon and the other disciple went out and came to the tomb.
4And they were both running together; but that disciple outran Simon and came to the tomb first.
5And he looked in and saw the linen cloths lying; but he did not enter.
6Then Simon came after him and entered into the tomb; and he saw the linen cloths lying there,
7and the burial napkin which was bound around his head, was not with the linen cloths, but was wrapped up and put in a place by itself.
8Then the other disciple who had come to the tomb first, also entered in, and he saw and believed.
9For they still did not understand from the Scripture that he had to rise from the dead.
