He said to them, How then does David in the Spirit call Him Lord, saying:

For David himself said by the Holy Spirit: The Lord said to my Lord, Sit at My right hand, till I make Your enemies Your footstool.

Men and brethren, this Scripture needed to be fulfilled, which the Holy Spirit spoke before by the mouth of David concerning Judas, who became a guide to those who took Jesus;

So when they did not agree among themselves, they were dismissed after Paul had said one word: The Holy Spirit spoke rightly through Isaiah the prophet to our fathers,

for prophecy was not formerly brought forth by man's choice, but holy men of God spoke as they were propelled along by the Holy Spirit.

but exhort one another daily, while it is called Today, that not any of you be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin.

while it is said: Today, if you will hear His voice, do not harden your hearts as in the provocation.

again He designates a certain day, saying in David, Today, after such a long time, as it has been said: Today, if you will hear His voice, do not harden your hearts.

For He is our God, and we are the people of His pasture, and the sheep of His hand. Today, if you will hear His voice:

when your fathers tried Me; they examined Me and saw My work.

So I swore in My wrath, They shall not enter into My rest.

Do not boast about tomorrow, for you do not know what a day may bring forth.

Whatever your hand finds to do, do it with all your might; for there is no work nor reasoning nor knowledge nor wisdom in Sheol where you go.

Seek Jehovah while He may be found; call upon Him while He is near.

We then, as workers together with Him, also beseech you not to receive the grace of God in vain.

For He says: In an acceptable time I have heard you, and in a day of salvation I have helped you. Behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation.

Come now, you who say, Today or tomorrow we will go to this city, spend a year there, do business, and make a profit;

Instead you ought to say, If the Lord wills, we shall live and do this or that.

But My people would not heed My voice, and Israel would have none of Me.

Oh, that My people had listened to Me, that Israel had walked in My ways!

Extend your ear, and come to Me; hear, and your soul shall live; and I will make an everlasting covenant with you, even the sure mercies of David.

While he was still speaking, behold, a bright cloud overshadowed them; and behold a voice came out of the cloud, saying, This is My beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased. Hear Him.

Truly, truly, I say to you, the hour is coming, and now is, when the dead will hear the voice of the Son of God; and those who hear will live.

To him the doorkeeper opens, and the sheep hear his voice; and he calls his own sheep by name and leads them out.

And other sheep I have which are not of this fold; them also I must lead, and they will hear My voice; and there will be one flock and one Shepherd.

My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me.

Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and dine with him, and he with Me.
