John 21:15-19
15 Then, when they had dined, Jesus said to Simon Peter, "Simon, son of John, do you love me more than these?" He said to him, "Yes, Lord, you know that I love you." He said to him, "Feed my lambs." 16 He said to him again: "Simon, son of John, do you love me?" He said to him, "Yes, Lord, you know that I love you." He said to him, "Feed my lambs." 17 He said to him a third time, "Simon, son of John, do you love me?" Peter was very grieved that he had asked him a third time, "Do you love me?" And so he said to him: "Lord, you know all things. You know that I love you." He said to him, "Feed my sheep. 18 Amen, amen, I say to you, when you were younger, you girded yourself and walked wherever you wanted. But when you are older, you will extend your hands, and another shall gird you and lead you where you do not want to go." 19 Now he said this to signify by what kind of death he would glorify God. And when he had said this, he said to him, "Follow me." Galatians 1:11-20 11 For I would have you understand, brothers, that the Gospel which has been preached by me is not according to man. 12 And I did not receive it from man, nor did I learn it, except through the revelation of Jesus Christ. 13 For you have heard of my former behavior within Judaism: that, beyond measure, I persecuted the Church of God and fought against Her. 14 And I advanced in Judaism beyond many of my equals among my own kind, having proven to be more abundant in zeal toward the traditions of my fathers. 15 But, when it pleased him who, from my mother's womb, had set me apart, and who has called me by his grace, 16 to reveal his Son within me, so that I might evangelize him among the Gentiles, I did not next seek the consent of flesh and blood. 17 Neither did I go to Jerusalem, to those who were Apostles before me. Instead, I went into Arabia, and next I returned to Damascus. 18 And then, after three years, I went to Jerusalem to see Peter; and I stayed with him for fifteen days. 19 But I saw none of the other Apostles, except James, the brother of the Lord. 20 Now what I am writing to you: behold, before God, I am not lying. Acts 3:1-10 1 Now Peter and John went up to the temple at the ninth hour of prayer. 2 And a certain man, who was lame from his mother's womb, was being carried in. They would lay him every day at the gate of the temple, which is called the Beautiful, so that he might request alms from those entering into the temple. 3 And this man, when he had seen Peter and John beginning to enter the temple, was begging, so that he might receive alms. 4 Then Peter and John, gazing at him, said, "Look at us." 5 And he looked intently at them, hoping that he might receive something from them. 6 But Peter said: "Silver and gold is not mine. But what I have, I give to you. In the name of Jesus Christ the Nazarene, rise up and walk." 7 And taking him by the right hand, he lifted him up. And immediately his legs and feet were strengthened. 8 And leaping up, he stood and walked around. And he entered with them into the temple, walking and leaping and praising God. 9 And all the people saw him walking and praising God. 10 And they recognized him, that he was the same one who was sitting for alms at the Beautiful Gate of the temple. And they were filled with awe and amazement at what had happened to him. |
