Revised Common Lectionary (Complementary)
14 But Peter, standing with the eleven, lifted up his voice and said to them, “You men of Judea! All you who inhabit Jerusalem! Be it known to you and hear my words!
36 “Therefore, let all the House of Israel know for certain that God has made Him both Lord and Christ - this Jesus Whom you have crucified!”
37 Now when they heard it, they were pricked in their hearts, and said to Peter and the other Apostles, “Men, brothers, what shall we do?”
38 Then Peter said to them, “Repent, and be baptized, every one of you, in the Name of Jesus Christ, for the remission of sins. And you shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.
39 “For the promise is made to you and to your children, and to all who are far away, as many as the Lord our God shall call.”
40 And he testified and exhorted them with many other words, saying, “Save yourselves from this perverse generation!”
41 Then those who gladly received his Word were baptized. And the same day there were added to them about three thousand souls.
116 I love the LORD, because He has heard my voice and my prayers.
2 For He has inclined His ear to me, when I called in my days.
3 The snares of death surrounded me and the griefs of the grave caught me. I found trouble and sorrow.
4 Then I called upon the Name of the LORD, “I implore You, O LORD, deliver my soul!”
12 What shall I render to the LORD for all His benefits toward me?
13 I will take the Cup of Salvation and call upon the Name of the LORD.
14 I will pay my vows to the LORD even now, in the presence of all His people.
15 Precious in the sight of the LORD is the death of His saints.
16 Behold, LORD, for I am Your servant. I am Your servant, the son of Your handmaid. You have broken my bonds.
17 I will offer a sacrifice of praise to You and will call upon the Name of the LORD.
18 I will pay my vows to the LORD even now, in the presence of all His people,
19 In the courts of the LORD’s house, even in the midst of You, O Jerusalem. Praise the LORD!
17 And if you call him ‘Father’ (Who judges according to the work of each, without respect of persons), pass the time of your dwelling here in fear,
18 knowing that you were not redeemed with corruptible things - like silver and gold from your ineffective lifestyle received by the traditions of the Fathers -
19 but with the precious blood of Christ, as of a Lamb undefiled and without spot.
20 He was ordained before the foundation of the world, but was revealed in the last times for your sakes,
21 You, through Him, believe in God Who raised Him from the dead and gave Him Glory, so that your faith and hope might be in God.
22 Since you have purified your souls in obeying the truth (through the Spirit) toward brotherly love without hypocrisy, love one another fervently, with a pure heart;
23 being born anew—not of mortal seed, but of immortal—by the Word of God, Who lives and endures forever.
13 And behold, that same day two of them went to a town called Emmaus, which was about sixty furlongs from Jerusalem.
14 And they talked together of all these things that had happened.
15 And it happened that as they talked together, and reasoned, that Jesus Himself drew near and went with them.
16 But their eyes were prevented from recognizing Him.
17 And He said to them, “What kind of conversations are these that you are having as you walk and are sad?”
18 And the one named Cleopas answered and said to Him, “Are You only a stranger in Jerusalem, and have not known the things which have happened there in these days?”
19 And He said to them, “What things?” And they said to Him, “Of Jesus of Nazareth, Who was a Prophet, mighty in deed and in word before God and all people.
20 “And how the chief priests and our rulers delivered Him to be condemned to death and have crucified Him.
21 “But we had hoped that it was He Who would deliver Israel. And today is the third day since all these things happened.
22 “Indeed, and some women among us (who came early to the sepulcher) astonished us.
23 “And when they did not find His body, they came, saying that they had also seen a vision of angels. Who said that He was alive.
24 “Therefore, some of them who were with us went to the sepulcher and found it just as the women had said. But they did not see Him.”
25 Then He said to them, “O fools! And slow of heart to believe all that the Prophets have spoken!
26 “Ought not Christ to have suffered these things, and to enter into His Glory?”
27 And He began at Moses, and at all the Prophets, and interpreted for them the things which were written of Him in all the Scriptures.
28 And they drew near to the town where they were going. And He pretended like He was going further.
29 But they urged Him, saying, “Stay with us! For it is towards evening, and the day is far spent!” So, He went in to stay with them.
30 And it happened that as He sat at table with them, He took the bread, and blessed it and broke it, and gave it to them.
31 Then their eyes were opened. And they knew Him. And He vanished.
32 And they said among themselves, “Did not our hearts burn within us while He talked with us along the way and when He opened the Scriptures to us?”
33 And they rose up that same hour and returned to Jerusalem, and found the eleven and those who were with them gathered together,
34 who said, “The Lord has indeed risen and has appeared to Simon!”
35 Then they told them what had happened along the way, and how He was known by them in the breaking of bread.
