akti 11: 1- 8

11:1	Now the Apostles and brothers who were in Judea heard that the Gentiles had also received the Word of God.
11:2	Tad, when Peter had gone up to Jerusalem, those who were of the circumcision argued against him,
11:3	sakot, “Why did you enter to uncircumcised men, and why did you eat with them?”
11:4	And Peter began to explain to them, in an orderly manner, sakot:
11:5	“I was in the city of Joppa praying, and I saw, in an ecstasy of mind, a vision: a certain container descending, like a great linen sheet being let down from heaven by its four corners. And it drew near to me.
11:6	And looking into it, I considered and saw the four-footed beasts of the earth, and the wild beasts, and the reptiles, and the flying things of the air.
11:7	Then I also heard a voice saying to me: ‘Rise up, Peter. Kill and eat.’
11:8	But I said: ‘Never, lord! For what is common or unclean has never entered into my mouth.’

Džons 10: 1- 10

10:1	“Amen, amen, I say to you, he who does not enter through the door into the fold of the sheep, but climbs up by another way, he is a thief and a robber.
10:2	But he who enters through the door is the shepherd of the sheep.
10:3	To him the doorkeeper opens, and the sheep hear his voice, and he calls his own sheep by name, and he leads them out.
10:4	And when he has sent out his sheep, he goes before them, and the sheep follow him, because they know his voice.
10:5	But they do not follow a stranger; instead they flee from him, because they do not know the voice of strangers.”
10:6	Jesus spoke this proverb to them. But they did not understand what he was saying to them.
10:7	Tāpēc, Jesus spoke to them again: “Amen, amen, I say to you, that I am the door of the sheep.
10:8	All others, as many as have come, are thieves and robbers, and the sheep did not listen to them.
10:9	I am the door. If anyone has entered through me, he will be saved. And he shall go in and go out, and he shall find pastures.
10:10	The thief does not come, except so that he may steal and slaughter and destroy. I have come so that they may have life, and have it more abundantly.

The Acts of the Apostles 4: 8-12

4:8	Then Peter, filled with the Holy Spirit, said to them: “Leaders of the people and elders, listen.
4:9	If we today are judged by a good deed done to an infirm man, by which he has been made whole,
4:10	let it be known to all of you and to all of the people of Israel, that in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ the Nazarene, whom you crucified, whom God has raised from the dead, by him, this man stands before you, healthy.
4:11	He is the stone, which was rejected by you, the builders, which has become the head of the corner.
4:12	And there is no salvation in any other. For there is no other name under heaven given to men, by which it is necessary for us to be saved.”

The First Letter of Saint John 3: 1-2

3:1	See what kind of love the Father has given to us, that we would be called, and would become, the sons of God. Šī dēļ, the world does not know us, for it did not know him.
3:2	Most beloved, we are now the sons of God. But what we shall be then has not yet appeared. We know that when he does appear, we shall be like him, for we shall see him as he is.

Gospel

The Holy Gospel According to John 10: 11-18

10:11	I am the good Shepherd. The good Shepherd gives his life for his sheep.
10:12	But the hired hand, and whoever is not a shepherd, to whom the sheep do not belong, he sees the wolf approaching, and he departs from the sheep and flees. And the wolf ravages and scatters the sheep.
10:13	And the hired hand flees, because he is a hired hand and there is no concern for the sheep within him.
10:14	I am the good Shepherd, and I know my own, and my own know me,
10:15	just as the Father knows me, and I know the Father. And I lay down my life for my sheep.
10:16	And I have other sheep that are not of this fold, and I must lead them. They shall hear my voice, and there shall be one sheepfold and one shepherd.
10:17	Šī iemesla dēļ, the Father loves me: because I lay down my life, so that I may take it up again.
10:18	No one takes it away from me. Tā vietā, I lay it down of my own accord. And I have the power to lay it down. And I have the power to take it up again. This is the commandment that I have received from my Father.”

akti 9: 31- 42

9:31	Certainly, the Church had peace throughout all of Judea and Galilee and Samaria, and it was being built up, while walking in the fear of the Lord, and it was being filled with the consolation of the Holy Spirit.
9:32	Then it happened that Peter, as he traveled around everywhere, came to the saints who were living at Lydda.
9:33	But he found there a certain man, named Aeneas, who was a paralytic, who had lain in bed for eight years.
9:34	And Peter said to him: “Aeneas, the Lord Jesus Christ heals you. Rise up and arrange your bed.” And immediately he rose up.
9:35	And all who were living in Lydda and Sharon saw him, and they were converted to the Lord.
9:36	Now in Joppa there was a certain disciple named Tabitha, which in translation is called Dorcas. She was filled with the good works and almsgiving that she was accomplishing.
9:37	And it happened that, in those days, she became ill and died. And when they had washed her, they laid her in an upper room.
9:38	Now since Lydda was close to Joppa, the disciples, upon hearing that Peter was there, sent two men to him, asking him: “Do not be slow in coming to us.”
9:39	Then Peter, rising up, went with them. And when he had arrived, they led him to an upper room. And all the widows were standing around him, weeping and showing him the tunics and garments that Dorcas had made for them.
9:40	And when they had all been sent outside, Peter, kneeling down, prayed. And turning to the body, he said: “Tabitha, arise.” And she opened her eyes and, upon seeing Peter, sat up again.
9:41	And offering her his hand, he lifted her up. And when he had called in the saints and the widows, he presented her alive.
9:42	Now this became known throughout all of Joppa. And many believed in the Lord.

Džons 6: 61- 70

6:61	Tāpēc, many of his disciples, upon hearing this, said: “This saying is difficult,” and, “Who is able to listen to it?”
6:62	But Jesus, knowing within himself that his disciples were murmuring about this, said to them: “Does this offend you?
6:63	Then what if you were to see the Son of man ascending to where he was before?
6:64	It is the Spirit who gives life. The flesh does not offer anything of benefit. The words that I have spoken to you are spirit and life.
6:65	But there are some among you who do not believe.” For Jesus knew from the beginning who were unbelieving and which one would betray him.
6:66	And so he said, “For this reason, I said to you that no one is able to come to me, unless it has been given to him by my Father.”
6:67	After this, many of his disciples went back, and they no longer walked with him.
6:68	Tāpēc, Jesus said to the twelve, “Do you also want to go away?”
6:69	Then Simon Peter answered him: “Lord, to whom would we go? You have the words of eternal life.
6:70	And we have believed, and we recognize that you are the Christ, the Son of God.”
