Reading I
Acts 26:19-23
Whereupon, O king Agrippa, I was not incredulous to the heavenly vision.
But to them first that are at Damascus and at Jerusalem, and unto all the country of Judea, and to the Gentiles did I preach, that they should do penance and turn to God, doing works worthy of penance.
For this cause, the Jews, when I was in the temple, having apprehended me, went about to kill me.
But being aided by the help of God, I stand unto this day, witnessing both to small and great, saying no other thing than those which the prophets and Moses did say should come to pass:
That Christ should suffer and that he should be the first that should rise from the dead and should shew light to the people and to the Gentiles.
