The first reading is a reading from the Acts of the Apostles.

Then Peter stood up with the 11, raised his voice, and proclaimed,

Let the whole house of Israel know for certain that God has made both Lord and Christ,

this Jesus whom you crucified.

Now when they heard this, they were cut to the heart, and they asked Peter and the other apostles,

What are we to do my brothers

Peter said to them repent and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the

forgiveness of your sins and you will be and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit for the promise

is made to you and to your children to all those far off,

whomever the Lord our God will call.

He testified with many other arguments,

and exhorting them, save yourselves from this corrupt generation.

Those whom accepted his message were baptized,

and about 3,000 persons were added that day. The word of the Lord,

thanks be to God. The Lord is my shepherd. There is nothing I shall want. The Lord is my shepherd.

There is nothing I shall want. The Lord is my shepherd I shall not want. And vernd in pastures,

he gives me repose besides restful waters. He me he refreshes my soul the lord is my shepherd

there's nothing i shall want he guides me in right paths for his namesake even though i walk in the dark valley i fear no

evil for you are at my side with your rod and your staff that give me courage the lord is my shepherd there is nothing i shall want

you spread the table before me in the side of my foes you anoint my head with oil my cup overflows

the lord is my shepherd there is nothing i shall want only goodness and kindness shall follow me all the days of my

life and i will dwell in the house of the Lord for years to come
