Book of Common Prayer
Listen Everyone: You Killed Jesus The Nazarene, But God Raised Him From The Dead
22 “Men, Israelites, listen-to these words: As to Jesus the Nazarene, a man having been attested by God to you with[a] miracles and wonders and signs which God did through Him in your midst, just as you yourselves know— 23 this One, given-over[b] by the determined[c] purpose[d] and foreknowledge of God, you killed, having fastened[e] Him to a cross by the hand of Lawless ones, 24 Whom God raised-up, having put-an-end-to[f] the pains[g] of death, because it was not possible that He be held-on-to by it.
David Predicted This. And Jesus Poured Out What You Both See And Hear
25 “For David says with reference to Him [in Ps 16:8-11], ‘I was seeing the Lord in my presence continually, because He is on my right side so that I may not be shaken. 26 For this reason my heart was cheered and my tongue rejoiced-greatly. And furthermore, my flesh will also dwell in hope, 27 because You will not abandon my soul to Hades, nor give[h] Your holy One to see[i] decay. 28 You made the ways of life known to me. You will make me full of gladness with Your presence’. 29 Men, brothers, it is proper to say to you with confidence about the patriarch David that he both came-to-an-end[j] and was buried. And his tomb is with us to this day. 30 Therefore, being a prophet, and knowing that God swore to him with an oath to seat One from the fruit of his loins upon his throne, 31 having foreseen it, he spoke concerning the resurrection of the Christ— that He was neither abandoned to Hades, nor did His flesh see decay. 32 God raised up this Jesus, of which we are all witnesses. 33 Therefore having been exalted to the right hand of God, and having received the promise of the Holy Spirit from the Father, He poured-out this which you are both seeing and hearing. 34 For David did not go up into the heavens, but he himself says [in Ps 110:1], ‘The Lord said to my Lord, “Be sitting on My right side 35 until I put Your enemies as a footstool of Your feet”’.
Therefore, Let All Israel Know That God Made Jesus Both Lord And Messiah
36 “Therefore let all the house of Israel know with-certainty that God made Him both Lord and Christ— this Jesus Whom you crucified”.
Jesus Asks How The Messiah Can Be The Son of David Since David Calls Him His Lord
41 And He said to them, “How is it that they say that the Christ is David’s son? 42 For David himself says in the book of Psalms [110:1], ‘The Lord said to my Lord, “Be sitting on My right side 43 until I put Your enemies as a footstool of Your feet”’. 44 Therefore David calls Him ‘Lord’. And how[a] is He his son?”
Jesus Warns The Disciples To Beware of The Scribes
45 And while all the people were listening, He said to His disciples, 46 “Beware of the scribes— the ones delighting to walk around in robes, and loving greetings in the marketplaces and seats-of-honor in the synagogues and places-of-honor at the banquets; 47 who are devouring[b] the houses of the widows, and praying long for a pretense. These ones will receive greater condemnation”.
Jesus Uses The Widow’s Offering To Illustrate True Giving
21 And having looked-up, He saw the rich ones throwing their gifts into the treasury[c]. 2 And He saw a certain needy widow throwing two leptos[d] there. 3 And He said, “Truly I say to you that this poor widow threw more than all. 4 For all these ones threw into the gifts out of the money abounding[e] to them. But this one, out of her lack[f], threw all the living[g] which she was having.
