The Book of Numbers 21: 4-9

21:4	Then they set out from mount Hor, by the way that leads to the Red Sea, to circle around the land of Edom. And the people began to tire of their journey and hardships.
21:5	And speaking against God and Moses, рекоа: “Why did you lead us away from Egypt, so as to die in the wilderness? Bread is lacking; there are no waters. Our soul is now nauseous over this very light food.”
21:6	Од оваа причина, the Lord sent fiery serpents among the people, which wounded or killed many of them.
21:7	And so they went to Moses, and they said: “We have sinned, because we have spoken against the Lord and against you. Pray, so that he may take away these serpents from us.” And Moses prayed for the people.
21:8	And the Lord said to him: “Make a bronze serpent, and place it as a sign. Кој и да е, having been struck, gazes upon it, shall live.”
21:9	Затоа, Moses made a bronze serpent, and he placed it as a sign. When those who had been struck gazed upon it, they were healed.

The Letter of Saint Paul to the Philippians 2: 6-11

2:6	СЗО, though he was in the form of God, did not consider equality with God something to be seized.
2:7	Наместо тоа, he emptied himself, taking the form of a servant, being made in the likeness of men, and accepting the state of a man.
2:8	He humbled himself, becoming obedient even unto death, even the death of the Cross.
2:9	Поради ова, God has also exalted him and has given him a name which is above every name,
2:10	па тоа, at the name of Jesus, every knee would bend, of those in heaven, of those on earth, and of those in hell,
2:11	and so that every tongue would confess that the Lord Jesus Christ is in the glory of God the Father.

Светото Евангелие според Јован 3: 13-17

3:13	И никој не се вознел на небото, освен оној што слезе од небото: Синот човечки кој е на небото.
3:14	И како што Мојсеј ја подигна змијата во пустината, така и Синот Човечки треба да се подигне,
3:15	за да не загине кој верува во него, но може да има вечен живот.
3:16	Зашто Бог толку го засака светот што го даде својот единороден Син, за да не загинат сите што веруваат во него, но може да има вечен живот.
3:17	Зашто Бог не го испрати својот Син во светот, за да му суди на светот, но за да може светот да се спаси преку него.
