John 2:11

This, the first of his miraculous signs, Jesus performed at Cana in Galilee.  He thus revealed his glory, and his disciples put their faith in him.

NLT:  This miraculous sign at Cana in Galilee was the first time Jesus revealed his glory.  And his disciples believed in him.

Luke 23:35-36

The people stood watching, and the rulers even sneered at him.  They said, “He saved others; let him save himself if he is the Christ of God, the Chosen One.”  The soldiers also came up and mocked him.  They offered him wine vinegar.

NLT:  The crowd watched and the leaders scoffed.  “He saved others,” they said, “let him save himself if he is really God’s Messiah, the Chosen One.”  The soldiers mocked him, too, by offering him a drink of sour wine.

Psalm 92:1-5

It is good to praise the Lord and make music to your name, O Most High, to proclaim your love in the morning and your faithfulness at night, to the music of the ten-stringed lyre and the melody of the harp.  For you make me glad by your deeds, O Lord; I sing for joy at the works of your hands.  How great are your works, O Lord, how profound your thoughts!

NLT:  It is good to give thanks to the Lord, to sing praises to the Most High.  It is good to proclaim your unfailing love in the morning, your faithfulness in the evening, accompanied by the ten-stringed harp and the melody of the lyre.  You thrill me, Lord, with all you have done for me!  I sing for joy because of what you have done.  O Lord, what great works you do!  And how deep are your thoughts.
