  **Show the text**

  34 Peter opened his mouth and said, “Truly I perceive that God doesn’t show favoritism;

  35 but in every nation he who fears him and works righteousness is acceptable to him.

  36 The word which he sent to the children of Israel, preaching good news of peace by Jesus Christ—he is Lord of all—

  37 you yourselves know what happened, which was proclaimed throughout all Judea, beginning from Galilee, after the baptism which John preached;

  38 even Jesus of Nazareth, how God anointed him with the Holy Spirit and with power, who went about doing good and healing all who were oppressed by the devil, for God was with him.

  39 We are witnesses of everything he did both in the country of the Jews, and in Jerusalem; whom they also killed, hanging him on a tree.

  40 God raised him up the third day, and gave him to be revealed,

  41 not to all the people, but to witnesses who were chosen before by God, to us, who ate and drank with him after he rose from the dead.

  42 He commanded us to preach to the people and to testify that this is he who is appointed by God as the Judge of the living and the dead.

  43 All the prophets testify about him, that through his name everyone who believes in him will receive remission of sins.”

- Gospel

  John 8:12–20

  **Show the text**

  12 Again, therefore, Jesus spoke to them, saying, “I am the light of the world. He who follows me will not walk in the darkness, but will have the light of life.”

  13 The Pharisees therefore said to him, “You testify about yourself. Your testimony is not valid.”

  14 Jesus answered them, “Even if I testify about myself, my testimony is true, for I know where I came from, and where I am going; but you don’t know where I came from, or where I am going.

  15 You judge according to the flesh. I judge no one.

  16 Even if I do judge, my judgment is true, for I am not alone, but I am with the Father who sent me.

  17 It’s also written in your law that the testimony of two people is valid.

  18 I am one who testifies about myself, and the Father who sent me testifies about me.”

  19 They said therefore to him, “Where is your Father?” Jesus answered, “You know neither me nor my Father. If you knew me, you would know my Father also.”

  20 Jesus spoke these words in the treasury, as he taught in the temple. Yet no one arrested him, because his hour had not yet come.
