you know forgiveness of our sins almighty god have mercy on us her give us our sins and bring us all to life everlasting amen prayer for the salvation of the world we may further more effectively each day the reign of christ who lives in reigns with you in the unity of the holy spirit one god forever  reading from the acts of the apostles the apostles in the brothers who were injured heard that the gentiles too had accepted the word of god so when peter went up to jerusalem the circumcised believers confronted him saying you entered the house of uncircumcised people and ate with them peter began and explained it to them step by step saying i was a prayer in the city of show when in a trend so i had a vision something resembling a large sheet coming down lowered from the sky by its four corners and it came to me looking intently into it i observed and saw the four legged animals of the earth the wild beasts the reptiles and the birds of the sky i also heard a voice say to me get up peter slaughter and eat but i said certainly not serve because nothing profane or unclean has ever entered my mouth but a nd time a voice from heaven answered what god has made clean you are not to call profane this happened three times and then everything was drawn up again into the sky just then three men appeared at the house where we were who had been sent to me from says area the spirit told me to accompany them without discriminating these six brothers also went with me and we entered the man's house he related to us how he had seen the angel standing in his house say send son one to joe and summon simon who was called peter who will speak words to you by which you and all your household will be saved as i began to speak the holy spirit fell upon them as it had upon us at the beginning and i remembered the words of the mord how he had said john baptized with water but you will be baptized with the holy spirit if then god gave the same gift he gave to us when we came to believe in the lord jesus christ who was to be able to hinder god when they heard this they stopped objecting and glorified god saying soul for the living god as the hand longs for the running waters so my soul longs for you a thirst just myself for god the living god when shall i go and behold the face of  the lord be with you and with your spirit a reading from the holy gospel according to john glory to the lord jesus said i am the good shepherd the good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep  hired man who is not a shepherd and those sheep are not his own sees a wolf coming in leaves the sheep and runs away and the wolf catches his scatters then this is because he works for  has no concern for the sheep i am the good shepherd and i know mine and mine know me just as a father knows me and i know the father i will lay down my life for the sheep i have another sh not belong to this fold these also i mislead and they are and they will hear my voice and they will be one flock one shepherd this is why the father loves me because they lead down my life in order to take it up again no one takes it from me but i laid it down on my own i have power to lay it down in power to take it up again in this command i have received from my father the gospel the lord craze to large jesus christ yesterday the th sunday of easter was good shepherd sunday as jesus in the gospel reveals
