Psalm 16:5-11

New International Version

⁵Lord, you alone are my portion^(A) and my cup;^(B)
    you make my lot^(C) secure.
⁶The boundary lines^(D) have fallen for me in pleasant places;
    surely I have a delightful inheritance.^(E)
⁷I will praise the Lord, who counsels me;^(F)
    even at night^(G) my heart instructs me.
⁸I keep my eyes always on the Lord.
    With him at my right hand,^(H) I will not be shaken.^(I)

⁹Therefore my heart is glad^(J) and my tongue rejoices;
    my body also will rest secure,^(K)
¹⁰because you will not abandon me to the realm of the dead,^(L)
    nor will you let your faithful^[a] one^(M) see decay.^(N)
¹¹You make known to me the path of life;^(O)
    you will fill me with joy in your presence,^(P)
    with eternal pleasures^(Q) at your right hand.^(R)

Psalm 16:10 Or holy

Acts 13:32-43

New International Version

³²“We tell you the good news:^(A) What God promised our ancestors^(B) ³³he has fulfilled for us, their children, by raising up Jesus.^(C) As it is written in the second Psalm:

“‘You are my son;
today I have become your father.’^[a]^(D)

³⁴God raised him from the dead so that he will never be subject to decay. As God has said,

“‘I will give you the holy and sure blessings promised to David.’^[b]^(E)

³⁵So it is also stated elsewhere:

“‘You will not let your holy one see decay.’^[c]^(F)

³⁶“Now when David had served God’s purpose in his own generation, he fell asleep;^(G) he was buried with his ancestors^(H) and his body decayed. ³⁷But the one whom God raised from the dead^(I) did not see decay.

³⁸“Therefore, my friends, I want you to know that through Jesus the forgiveness of sins is proclaimed to you.^(J) ³⁹Through him everyone who believes^(K) is set free from every sin, a justification you were not able to obtain under the law of Moses.^(L) ⁴⁰Take care that what the prophets have said does not happen to you:

⁴¹“‘Look, you scoffers,
    wonder and perish,
for I am going to do something in your days
    that you would never believe,
    even if someone told you.’^[d]”^(M)

⁴²As Paul and Barnabas were leaving the synagogue,^(N) the people invited them to speak further about these things on the next Sabbath. ⁴³When the congregation was dismissed, many of the Jews and devout converts to Judaism followed Paul and Barnabas, who talked with them and urged them to continue in the grace of God.^(O)

New International Version

⁷If you really know me, you will know^[a] my Father as well.^(A) From now on, you do know him and have seen him.”

⁸Philip^(B) said, “Lord, show us the Father and that will be enough for us.”

⁹Jesus answered: “Don’t you know me, Philip, even after I have been among you such a long time? Anyone who has seen me has seen the Father.^(C) How can you say, ‘Show us the Father’? ¹⁰Don’t you believe that I am in the Father, and that the Father is in me?^(D) The words I say to you I do not speak on my own authority.^(E) Rather, it is the Father, living in me, who is doing his work. ¹¹Believe me when I say that I am in the Father and the Father is in me; or at least believe on the evidence of the works themselves.^(F) ¹²Very truly I tell you, whoever believes^(G) in me will do the works I have been doing,^(H) and they will do even greater things than these, because I am going to the Father. ¹³And I will do whatever you ask^(I) in my name, so that the Father may be glorified in the Son. ¹⁴You may ask me for anything in my name, and I will do it.
