9:36 Now in Joppa there was a disciple whose name
was Tabitha, which in Greek is Dorcas. She was devoted to good
works and acts of charity.
9:37 At that time she became ill and died. When they had washed
her, they laid her in a room upstairs.
9:38 Since Lydda was near Joppa, the disciples, who heard that
Peter was there, sent two men to him with the request,
"Please come to us without delay."
9:39 So Peter got up and went with them; and when he arrived,
they took him to the room upstairs. All the widows stood beside
him, weeping and showing tunics and other clothing that Dorcas had
made while she was with them.
9:40 Peter put all of them outside, and then he knelt down and
prayed. He turned to the body and said, "Tabitha, get
up." Then she opened her eyes, and seeing Peter, she sat up.
9:41 He gave her his hand and helped her up. Then calling the
saints and widows, he showed her to be alive.
9:42 This became known throughout Joppa, and many believed in
the Lord.
9:43 Meanwhile he stayed in Joppa for some time with a certain
Simon, a tanner.

23:1 The LORD is my shepherd, I shall not want.
23:2 He makes me lie down in green pastures; he leads me beside still
waters;
23:3 he restores my soul. He leads me in right paths for his name's sake.
23:4 Even though I walk through the darkest valley, I fear no evil; for
you are with me; your rod and your staff-- they comfort me.
23:5 You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies; you
anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows.
23:6 Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life,
and I shall dwell in the house of the LORD my whole life long.
23:1 The LORD is my shepherd, I shall not want.

23:3 he restores my soul. He leads me in right paths for his name's sake.
23:4 Even though I walk through the darkest valley, I fear no evil; for
you are with me; your rod and your staff-- they comfort me.
23:5 You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies; you
anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows.

and I shall dwell in the house of the LORD my whole life long.

7:9 After this I looked, and there was a great
multitude that no one could count, from every nation, from all
tribes and peoples and languages, standing before the throne and
before the Lamb, robed in white, with palm branches in their
hands.
7:10 They cried out in a loud voice, saying, "Salvation
belongs to our God who is seated on the throne, and to the
Lamb!"
7:11 And all the angels stood around the throne and around
the elders and the four living creatures, and they fell on their
faces before the throne and worshiped God,
7:12 singing, "Amen! Blessing and glory and wisdom and
thanksgiving and honor and power and might be to our God forever
and ever! Amen."
7:13 Then one of the elders addressed me, saying, "Who
are these, robed in white, and where have they come from?"
7:14 I said to him, "Sir, you are the one that
knows." Then he said to me, "These are they who have
come out of the great ordeal; they have washed their robes and
made them white in the blood of the Lamb.
7:15 For this reason they are before the throne of God, and
worship him day and night within his temple, and the one who is
seated on the throne will shelter them.
7:16 They will hunger no more, and thirst no more; the sun
will not strike them, nor any scorching heat;
7:17 for the Lamb at the center of the throne will be their
shepherd, and he will guide them to springs of the water of
life, and God will wipe away every tear from their eyes."

10:22 At that time the festival of the
Dedication took place in Jerusalem. It was winter,
10:23 and Jesus was walking in the temple, in the portico of
Solomon.
10:24 So the Jews gathered around him and said to him,
"How long will you keep us in suspense? If you are the
Messiah, tell us plainly."
10:25 Jesus answered, "I have told you, and you do not
believe. The works that I do in my Father's name testify to me;
10:26 but you do not believe, because you do not belong to my
sheep.
10:27 My sheep hear my voice. I know them, and they follow
me.
10:28 I give them eternal life, and they will never perish.
No one will snatch them out of my hand.
10:29 What my Father has given me is greater than all else,
and no one can snatch it out of the Father's hand.
10:30 The Father and I are one."
