MatinsThe Song of Zechariah
Blessèd are you O Lord our God:
3 Through your holy prophets you promised of old:
that you would save us from our enemies,
from the hands of all who hate us.
4You promised to show mercy to our forebears:
and to remember your holy covenant.
5This was the oath you swore to our father Abraham:
to set us free from the hands of our enemies,
6free to worship you without fear:
holy and righteous in your sight
all the days of our life.
Amen.
New Testament Reading - The apostles’ teaching and fellowship
36“Therefore I clearly state to everyone in Israel that God has made this Jesus you crucified to be the Lord, the Messiah!”
37These words of Peter’s moved them deeply, and they said to him and to the other apostles, “Brothers, what should we do?”
38And Peter replied, “Each one of you must turn from sin, return to God, and be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins; then you also shall receive this gift, the Holy Spirit. 39For Christ promised him to each one of you who has been called by the Lord our God, and to your children and even to those in distant lands!”
40Then Peter preached a long sermon, telling about Jesus and strongly urging all his listeners to save themselves from the evils of their nation. 41And those who believed Peter were baptized — about three thousand in all! 42They joined with the other believers in regular attendance at the apostles’ teaching sessions and at the Communion servicesa and prayer meetings.
43A deep sense of awe was on them all, and the apostles did many miracles.
