1Behold my servant, I will uphold him, my elect, with him my soul is well-pleased. I have sent my Spirit upon him. He will offer judgment to the nations. 2He will not cry out, and he will not show favoritism to anyone; neither will his voice be heard abroad. 3The bruised reed he will not break, and the smoldering wick he will not extinguish. He will lead forth judgment unto truth. 4He will not be saddened or troubled, until he establishes judgment on earth. And the islands will await his law. 5Thus says the Lord God, who created the heavens and expanded it, who formed the earth and all that springs from it, who gives breath to the people in it, and spirit to those walking on it. 6I, the Lord, have called you in justice, and I have taken your hand and preserved you. And I have presented you as a covenant of the people, as a light to the Gentiles, 7so that you may open the eyes of the blind, and lead out the prisoner from confinement and those sitting in darkness from the house of incarceration.
1A Psalm of David, at the completion of the tabernacle. Bring to the Lord, O sons of God, bring to the Lord the sons of rams. 2Bring to the Lord, glory and honor. Bring to the Lord, glory for his name. Adore the Lord in his holy court. 3The voice of the Lord is over the waters. The God of majesty has thundered. The Lord is over many waters. 4The voice of the Lord is in virtue. The voice of the Lord is in magnificence. 5The voice of the Lord shatters the cedars. And the Lord will shatter the cedars of Lebanon. 6And it will break them into pieces, like a calf of Lebanon, and in the same way as the beloved son of the single-horned beast. 7The voice of the Lord cuts through the flame of fire. 8The voice of the Lord shakes the desert. And the Lord will quake the desert of Kadesh. 9The voice of the Lord is preparing the stags, and he will reveal the dense woods. And in his temple, all will speak his glory. 10The Lord causes the great flood to dwell. And the Lord will sit as King in eternity.
34Then, Peter, opening his mouth, said: “I have concluded in truth that God is not a respecter of persons. 35But within every nation, whoever fears him and works justice is acceptable to him. 36God sent the Word to the sons of Israel, announcing the peace through Jesus Christ, for he is the Lord of all. 37You know that the Word has been made known throughout all Judea. For beginning from Galilee, after the baptism which John preached, 38Jesus of Nazareth, whom God anointed with the Holy Spirit and with power, traveled around doing good and healing all those oppressed by the devil. For God was with him.
7And immediately, looking around, they no longer saw anyone, except Jesus alone with them.
7And he preached, saying: “One stronger than me comes after me. I am not worthy to reach down and loosen the laces of his shoes. 8I have baptized you with water. Yet truly, he will baptize you with the Holy Spirit.” 9And it happened that, in those days, Jesus arrived from Nazareth of Galilee. And he was baptized by John in the Jordan. 10And immediately, upon ascending from the water, he saw the heavens opened and the Spirit, like a dove, descending, and remaining with him. 11And there was a voice from heaven: “You are my beloved Son; in you I am well pleased.”
