This Week's Readings:
1The Lord
is my shepherd, I lack nothing.
2He
makes me lie down in green pastures, he leads me beside quiet waters,
3he
refreshes my soul. He guides me along the right paths for his name’s sake.
4Even
though I walk through the darkest valley,a
I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort
me.
5You
prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies. You anoint my head
with oil; my cup overflows.
6Surely
your goodness and love will follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell
in the house of the Lord forever.
5The
next day the rulers, the elders and the teachers of the law met in Jerusalem.
6Annas
the high priest was there, and so were Caiaphas, John, Alexander and others of
the high priest’s family.
7They
had Peter and John brought before them and began to question them: “By what
power or what name did you do this?”
8Then
Peter, filled with the Holy Spirit, said to them: “Rulers and elders of the
people!
9If
we are being called to account today for an act of kindness shown to a man who
was lame and are being asked how he was healed,
10then
know this, you and all the people of Israel: It is by the name of Jesus Christ
of Nazareth, whom you crucified but whom God raised from the dead, that this
man stands before you healed.
11Jesus
is “ ‘the stone you builders rejected,which has become the cornerstone.’a
12Salvation
is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to
mankind by which we must be saved.”
