8Then Peter, filled with the holy Spirit, answered them, “Leaders of the people and elders: 9If we are being examined today about a good deed done to a cripple, namely, by what means he was saved, 10then all of you and all the people of Israel should know that it was in the name of Jesus Christ the Nazorean whom you crucified, whom God raised from the dead; in his name this man stands before you healed. 11He is ‘the stone rejected by you, the builders, which has become the cornerstone.’ 12There is no salvation through anyone else, nor is there any other name under heaven given to the human race by which we are to be saved.”

1Psalm 118 Hymn of Thanksgiving I - Give thanks to the LORD, for he is good, his mercy endures forever. 8Better to take refuge in the LORD than to put one’s trust in mortals. 9Better to take refuge in the LORD than to put one’s trust in princes. 21I thank you for you answered me; you have been my savior. 22The stone the builders rejected has become the cornerstone. 23By the LORD has this been done; it is wonderful in our eyes. 26VI - Blessed is he who comes in the name of the LORD. We bless you from the house of the LORD. 28VII - You are my God, I give you thanks; my God, I offer you praise. 29Give thanks to the LORD, for he is good, his mercy endures forever.

14I am the good shepherd, and I know mine and mine know me,

11I am the good shepherd. A good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep. 12A hired man, who is not a shepherd and whose sheep are not his own, sees a wolf coming and leaves the sheep and runs away, and the wolf catches and scatters them. 13This is because he works for pay and has no concern for the sheep. 14I am the good shepherd, and I know mine and mine know me, 15just as the Father knows me and I know the Father; and I will lay down my life for the sheep. 16I have other sheep that do not belong to this fold. These also I must lead, and they will hear my voice, and there will be one flock, one shepherd. 17This is why the Father loves me, because I lay down my life in order to take it up again. 18No one takes it from me, but I lay it down on my own. I have power to lay it down, and power to take it up again. This command I have received from my Father.”
