First Reading
Acts 5:27-33
Read this as the first big movement of the day. Notice what God is doing, who is speaking, and what part of the story or teaching should stay with you.
27And when they had brought them, they set them before the council. And the high priest asked them,
28Saying: Commanding we commanded you, that you should not teach in this name; and look, you have satisfied Jerusalem with your teaching, and you have a mind to bring the blood of this man upon us.
29But Peter and the apostles answering, said: We ought to obey God, rather than men.
30The God of our fathers has raised up Jesus, whom you put to death, hanging him upon a tree.
31Him has God exalted with his right hand, to be Leader and Saviour, to give repentance to Israel, and remission of sins.
32And we are people giving testimony of these things and the Holy Ghost, whom God has given to all that obey him.
33When they had heard these things, they were cut to the heart, and they thought to put them to death.
