Reading I
Acts 5:27-33
And when they had brought them, they set them before the council. And the high priest asked them,
Saying: Commanding, we commanded you that you should not teach in this name. And behold, you have filled Jerusalem with your doctrine: and you have a mind to bring the blood of this man upon us.
But Peter and the apostles answering, said: We ought to obey God rather than men.
The God of our fathers hath raised up Jesus, whom you put to death, hanging him upon a tree.
Him hath God exalted with his right hand, to be Prince and Saviour. to give repentance to Israel and remission of sins.
And we are witnesses of these things: and the Holy Ghost, whom God hath given to all that obey him.
When they had heard these things, they were cut to the heart: and they thought to put them to death.
