8.23 Acts 10. 10  Now there was a man at Caesarea named Cornelius, a centurion of what was called the Italian [ a ] cohort, 2  a devout man and one who feared God with all his household, and gave many [ b ] alms to the Jewish people and prayed to God continually. 3  About the [ c ] ninth hour of the day he clearly saw in a vision an angel of God who had just come in and said to him, “Cornelius!” 4  And fixing his gaze on him and being much alarmed, he said, “What is it, Lord?” And he said to him, “Your prayers and [ d ] alms have ascended as a memorial before God. 5  Now dispatch some men to Joppa and send for a man named Simon, who is also called Peter; 6  he is staying with a tanner named Simon, whose house is by the sea.” 7  When the angel who was speaking to him had left, he summoned two of his [ e ] servants and a devout soldier of those who were his personal attendants, 8  and after he had explained everything to them, he sen...

8.22 Matthew 27. 27  Now when morning came, all the chief priests and the elders of the people conferred together against Jesus to put Him to death; 2  and they bound Him, and led Him away and delivered Him to Pilate the governor. 3  Then when Judas, who had betrayed Him, saw that He had been condemned, he felt remorse and returned the thirty [ a ] pieces of silver to the chief priests and elders, 4  saying, “I have sinned by betraying innocent blood.” But they said, “What is that to us? See to that yourself!” 5  And he threw the pieces of silver into the temple sanctuary and departed; and he went away and hanged himself. 6  The chief priests took the pieces of silver and said, “It is not lawful to put them into the temple treasury, since it is the price of blood.” 7  And they conferred together and [ b ] with the money bought the Potter’s Field as a burial place for strangers. 8  For this reason that field has been called the Field o...

Come, Lord Jesus. 21  The grace of the Lord Jesus be with [ j ] all. Amen.
