"O soul that the serpent has bitten, gaze upon the Cross, And by it
the hidden wound that hurts thee will be cured. Sin has stung thee:
lo, place the Medicine of life from Golgotha Upon the wound, and
thereby it will be truly healed. If in a serpent's likeness there was
relief for him that gazed hereon, How much more will the image of the
Son not heal him that looks at it?"

Mar Jacob of Serugh.

"I call heaven and earth as witnesses today against you, that I have
set before you life and death, blessing and cursing; therefore choose
life, that both you and your descendants may live." Deuteronomy 30:19

The Bible reading for the 11th of Toba, January 20th, is:
18 No one has seen God at any time. The only begotten Son, who is in
the bosom of the Father, He has declared Him. 19 Now this is the
testimony of John, when the Jews sent priests and Levites from
Jerusalem to ask him, Who are you? 20 He confessed, and did not deny,
but confessed, I am not the Christ. 21 And they asked him, What then?
Are you Elijah? He said, I am not. Are you the Prophet? And he
answered, No. 22 Then they said to him, Who are you, that we may give
an answer to those who sent us? What do you say about yourself? 23 He
said: I am `The voice of one crying in the wilderness: Make straight
the way of the Lord, ' as the prophet Isaiah said. 24 Now those who
were sent were from the Pharisees. 25 And they asked him, saying, Why
then do you baptize if you are not the Christ, nor Elijah, nor the
Prophet? 26 John answered them, saying, I baptize with water, but
there stands One among you whom you do not know. 27 It is He who,
coming after me, is preferred before me, whose sandal

strap I am not worthy to loose. 28 These things were done in Bethabara
beyond the Jordan, where John was baptizing. 29 The next day John saw
Jesus coming toward him, and said, Behold! The Lamb of God who takes
away the sin of the world! 30 This is He of whom I said, `After me
comes a Man who is preferred before me, for He was before me.' 31 I
did not know Him; but that He should be revealed to Israel, therefore
I came baptizing with water. 32 And John bore witness, saying, I saw
the Spirit descending from heaven like a dove, and He remained upon
Him. 33 I did not know Him, but He who sent me to baptize with water
said to me, `Upon whom you see the Spirit descending, and remaining on
Him, this is He who baptizes with the Holy Spirit.' 34 And I have seen
and testified that this is the Son of God. (Luke 1:18-34)
