26 'My brothers, sons of
Abraham's race, and all you godfearers, this message of salvation is meant for
you.
27 What the people of
Jerusalem and their rulers did, though they did not realise it, was in FACT to
fulfil the prophecies read on every Sabbath.
28 Though they found
nothing to justify his execution, they condemned him and asked Pilate to have
him put to death.
29 When they had CARRIED

tree and buried him in a tomb.
30 But God raised him
from the dead,
31 and for many DAYS he
appeared to those who had accompanied him from Galilee to Jerusalem: and it is
these same companions of his who are now his witnesses BEFORE our people.
32 'We have come here to
tell you the good news that the promise made to our ancestors has come about.
33 God has fulfilled it
to their children by raising Jesus from the dead. As scripture says in the
psalms: You are my son: today I have fathered you.

PSALMS 2:6-11
6 'I myself have
anointed my king on Zion my holy mountain.'
7 I will proclaim the
decree of Yahweh: He said to me, 'You are my son, today have I FATHERED you.
8 ASK of me, and I
shall give you the nations as your birthright, the whole wide world as your
possession.
9 With an iron sceptre
you will break them, shatter them like so many pots.'

come to your SENSES, you earthly rulers, learn your lesson!
11 In fear BE submissive
to Yahweh;
Gospel Reading
JOHN 14:1-6
1 Do not let your
hearts BE troubled. You trust in God, trust also in me.
2 In my FATHER's house
there are many places to live in; otherwise I would have told you. I am going
now to prepare a place for you,
3 and after I have gone
and prepared you a place, I shall return to take you to myself, so that you may
be with me where I am.
4 You know the way to
the place where I am going.
5 Thomas said, 'Lord,
we do not know where you are going, so how can we know the way?'
6 Jesus said: I am the
Way; I am Truth and Life. No one can come to the Father except through me.
