13 Now when they saw the boldness of Peter and John and realized that they were uneducated and ordinary men, they were amazed and recognized them as companions of Jesus. 14When they saw the man who had been cured standing beside them, they had nothing to say in opposition. 15So they ordered them to leave the council while they discussed the matter with one another. 16They said, What will we do with them? For it is obvious to all who live in Jerusalem that a notable sign has been done through them; we cannot deny it. 17But to keep it from spreading further among the people, let us warn them to speak no more to anyone in this name. 18So they called them and ordered them not to speak or teach at all in the name of Jesus. 19But Peter and John answered them, Whether it is right in Gods sight to listen to you rather than to God, you must judge; 20for we cannot keep from speaking about what we have seen and heard. 21After threatening them again, they let them go, finding no way to punish them because of the people, for all of them praised God for what had happened.

1 O give thanks to the Lord, for he is good; ♦︎
his mercy endures for ever.
2 Let Israel now proclaim, ♦︎
His mercy endures for ever.
3 Let the house of Aaron now proclaim, ♦︎
His mercy endures for ever.
4 Let those who fear the Lord proclaim, ♦︎
His mercy endures for ever.
14 The Lord is my strength and my song, ♦︎
and he has become my salvation.
15 Joyful shouts of salvation ♦︎
sound from the tents of the righteous:
16 The right hand of the Lord does mighty deeds;
the right hand of the Lord raises up; ♦︎
the right hand of the Lord does mighty deeds.
17 I shall not die, but live ♦︎
and declare the works of the Lord.
18 The Lord has punished me sorely, ♦︎
but he has not given me over to death.
19 Open to me the gates of righteousness, ♦︎
that I may enter and give thanks to the Lord.
20 This is the gate of the Lord; ♦︎
the righteous shall enter through it.
21 I will give thanks to you, for you have answered me ♦︎
and have become my salvation.

[[And all that had been commanded them they told briefly to those around Peter. And afterwards Jesus himself sent out through them, from east to west, the sacred and imperishable proclamation of eternal salvation.* ]]
9 [[Now after he rose early on the first day of the week, he appeared first to Mary Magdalene, from whom he had cast out seven demons. 10She went out and told those who had been with him, while they were mourning and weeping. 11But when they heard that he was alive and had been seen by her, they would not believe it.
12 After this he appeared in another form to two of them, as they were walking into the country. 13And they went back and told the rest, but they did not believe them.
14 Later he appeared to the eleven themselves as they were sitting at the table; and he upbraided them for their lack of faith and stubbornness, because they had not believed those who saw him after he had risen.* 15And he said to them, Go into all the world and proclaim the good news* to the whole creation.
