1 Answer me when I call, O God of my righteousness; ♦︎
you set me at liberty when I was in trouble;
have mercy on me and hear my prayer.
2 How long will you nobles dishonour my glory; ♦︎
how long will you love vain things and seek after falsehood?
3 But know that the Lord has shown me his marvellous kindness; ♦︎
when I call upon the Lord, he will hear me.
4 Stand in awe, and sin not; ♦︎
commune with your own heart upon your bed, and be still.
5 Offer the sacrifices of righteousness ♦︎
and put your trust in the Lord.
6 There are many that say, Who will show us any good? ♦︎
Lord, lift up the light of your countenance upon us.
7 You have put gladness in my heart, ♦︎
more than when their corn and wine and oil increase.
8 In peace I will lie down and sleep, ♦︎
for it is you Lord, only, who make me dwell in safety.

3One day Peter and John were going up to the temple at the hour of prayer, at three oclock in the afternoon. 2And a man lame from birth was being carried in. People would lay him daily at the gate of the temple called the Beautiful Gate so that he could ask for alms from those entering the temple. 3When he saw Peter and John about to go into the temple, he asked them for alms. 4Peter looked intently at him, as did John, and said, Look at us. 5And he fixed his attention on them, expecting to receive something from them. 6But Peter said, I have no silver or gold, but what I have I give you; in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth,* stand up and walk. 7And he took him by the right hand and raised him up; and immediately his feet and ankles were made strong. 8Jumping up, he stood and began to walk, and he entered the temple with them, walking and leaping and praising God. 9All the people saw him walking and praising God, 10and they recognized him as the one who used to sit and ask for alms at the Beautiful Gate of the temple; and they were filled with wonder and amazement at what had happened to him.

24 A dispute also arose among them as to which one of them was to be regarded as the greatest. 25But he said to them, The kings of the Gentiles lord it over them; and those in authority over them are called benefactors. 26But not so with you; rather the greatest among you must become like the youngest, and the leader like one who serves. 27For who is greater, the one who is at the table or the one who serves? Is it not the one at the table? But I am among you as one who serves.
28 You are those who have stood by me in my trials; 29and I confer on you, just as my Father has conferred on me, a kingdom, 30so that you may eat and drink at my table in my kingdom, and you will sit on thrones judging the twelve tribes of Israel.
