Deuteronomy 7:1 - 7:11

7:1 “When Yahweh your God brings you into the land that you are about to enter into it to take possession of it, and he drives out many nations before you, the Hittites and the Girgashites and the Amorites and the Canaanites and the Hivites and the Jebusites, seven nations mightier and more numerous than you,
7:2 and Yahweh your God will give them over to you and you defeat them, you must utterly destroy them; you shall not make a covenant with them, and you shall not show mercy to them.
7:3 And you shall not intermarry with them; you shall not give your daughter to their son; and you shall not take his daughter for your son.
7:4 For their sons and daughters will cause your son to turn away from following me, and so they will serve other gods, and the anger of Yahweh would be kindled against you, and he would quickly destroy you.
7:5 But this is what you must do to them: you shall break down their altars, and their stone pillars you shall smash, and their Asherah poles you shall hew down, and you shall burn their idols with fire.
7:6 For you are a holy people for Yahweh your God; Yahweh your God has chosen you to be for him a people, a treasured possession from among all the peoples that are on the face of the earth.
7:7 “Yahweh loved you and chose you not because of your great number exceeding all other peoples, for you are fewer than all of the peoples,
7:8 but because of the love of Yahweh for you and because of his keeping of the sworn oath that he swore to your ancestors, Yahweh brought you out with a strong hand and redeemed you from the house of slavery, from the hand of Pharaoh, the king of Egypt.
7:9 So know that Yahweh your God, he is God, the trustworthy God, maintaining his covenant and his loyal love with those who love him and with those who keep his commandments to a thousand generations,
7:10 but repaying those who hate him in their own person to destroy them; he is not slow with those who hate him in their own person; he repays them.
7:11 And so you shall keep the commandment and the rules and the regulations that I am commanding you today to observe them.

Gospel — Acts 5:12 - 5:32

LEB translation

Acts 5:12 - 5:32

5:12 Many Signs and Wonders Are Performed by the Apostles Now many signs and wonders were being performed among the people through the hands of the apostles. And they were all together in Solomon’s Portico.
5:13 And none of the rest dared to join them, but the people spoke highly of them.
5:14 And even more believers in the Lord were being added, large numbers of both men and women,
5:15 so that they even carried out the sick into the streets and put them on cots and mats so that when Peter came by, at least his shadow would fall on some of them.
5:16 And the people of the towns around Jerusalem also came together, bringing the sick and those tormented by unclean spirits, who were all being healed.
5:17 The Apostles Arrested and Imprisoned Now the high priest rose up and all those who were with him (that is, the party of the Sadducees), and they were filled with jealousy.
5:18 And they laid hands on the apostles and put them in the public prison.
5:19 But during the night an angel of the Lord opened the doors of the prison and led them out and said,
5:20 “Go and stand in the temple courts and proclaim to the people all the words of this life.”
5:21 And when they heard this, they entered at daybreak into the temple courts and began teaching. Now when the high priest and those with him arrived, they summoned the Sanhedrin—even the whole council of elders of the sons of Israel—and sent to the prison to have them brought.
5:22 But the officers who came did not find them in the prison, and they returned and reported,
5:23 saying, “We found the prison locked with all security and the guards standing at the doors, but when we opened them, we found no one inside!”
5:24 Now when both the captain of the temple and the chief priests heard these words, they were greatly perplexed concerning them, as to what this might be.
5:25 But someone came and reported to them, “Behold, the men whom you put in prison are standing in the temple courts and teaching the people!”
5:26 Then the captain went with the officers and brought them, not with force (for they were afraid of the people, lest they be stoned by them).
5:27 The Apostles on Trial Before the Sanhedrin And when they had brought them, they made them stand in the Sanhedrin, and the high priest put a question to them,
5:28 saying, “We strictly commanded you not to teach in this name? And behold, you have filled Jerusalem with your teaching! And you are intending to bring upon us the blood of this man!”
5:29 But Peter and the apostles answered and said, “It is necessary to obey God rather than men!
5:30 The God of our fathers raised up Jesus, whom you killed by hanging him on a tree.
5:31 This one God has exalted to his right hand as Leader and Savior to grant repentance to Israel and forgiveness of sins.
5:32 And we are witnesses of these things, and so is the Holy Spirit whom God has given to those who obey him.”
