    1. It pleased Darius to set over the kingdom one hundred twenty satraps, stationed throughout the whole kingdom,

    2. and over them three presidents, including Daniel; to these the satraps gave account, so that the king might suffer no loss.

    3. Soon Daniel distinguished himself above all the other presidents and satraps because an excellent spirit was in him, and the king planned to appoint him over the whole kingdom.

    4. So the presidents and the satraps tried to find grounds for complaint against Daniel in connection with the kingdom. But they could find no grounds for complaint or any corruption, because he was faithful, and no negligence or corruption could be found in him.

    5. The men said, “We shall not find any ground for complaint against this Daniel unless we find it in connection with the law of his God.”

    6. So the presidents and satraps conspired and came to the king and said to him, “O King Darius, live forever!

    7. All the presidents of the kingdom, the prefects and the satraps, the counselors and the governors are agreed that the king should establish an ordinance and enforce an interdict, that whoever prays to anyone, divine or human, for thirty days, except to you, O king, shall be thrown into a den of lions.

    8. Now, O king, establish the interdict and sign the document, so that it cannot be changed, according to the law of the Medes and the Persians, which cannot be revoked.”

    9. Therefore King Darius signed the document and interdict. Daniel in the Lions’ Den

    10. Although Daniel knew that the document had been signed, he continued to go to his house, which had windows in its upper room open toward Jerusalem, and to get down on his knees three times a day to pray to his God and praise him, just as he had done previously.

    1. Now during those days, when the disciples were increasing in number, the Hellenists complained against the Hebrews because their widows were being neglected in the daily distribution of food.

    2. And the twelve called together the whole community of the disciples and said, “It is not right that we should neglect the word of God in order to wait on tables.

    3. Therefore, friends, select from among yourselves seven men of good standing, full of the Spirit and of wisdom, whom we may appoint to this task,

    4. while we, for our part, will devote ourselves to prayer and to serving the word.”

    5. What they said pleased the whole community, and they chose Stephen, a man full of faith and the Holy Spirit, together with Philip, Prochorus, Nicanor, Timon, Parmenas, and Nicolaus, a proselyte of Antioch.

    6. They had these men stand before the apostles, who prayed and laid their hands on them.

    7. Have nothing to do with profane myths and old wives’ tales. Train yourself in godliness,

    8. for, while physical training is of some value, godliness is valuable in every way, holding promise for both the present life and the life to come.

    9. The saying is sure and worthy of full acceptance.

    10. For to this end we toil and struggle, because we have our hope set on the living God, who is the Savior of all people, especially of those who believe.

    11. These are the things you must insist on and teach.

    12. Let no one despise your youth, but set the believers an example in speech and conduct, in love, in faith, in purity.

    13. Until I arrive, give attention to the public reading of scripture, to exhorting, to teaching.

    14. Do not neglect the gift that is in you, which was given to you through prophecy with the laying on of hands by the council of elders.

    15. Put these things into practice, devote yourself to them, so that all may see your progress.

    16. Pay close attention to yourself and to your teaching; continue in these things, for in doing this you will save both yourself and your hearers.

    16. Then someone came to him and said, “Teacher, what good deed must I do to have eternal life?”

    17. And he said to him, “Why do you ask me about what is good? There is only one who is good. If you wish to enter into life, keep the commandments.”

    18. He said to him, “Which ones?” And Jesus said, “You shall not murder; You shall not commit adultery; You shall not steal; You shall not bear false witness;

    19. Honor your father and mother; also, You shall love your neighbor as yourself.”

    20. The young man said to him, “I have kept all these; what do I still lack?”

    21. Jesus said to him, “If you wish to be perfect, go, sell your possessions, and give the money to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; then come, follow me.”

    22. When the young man heard this word, he went away grieving, for he had many possessions.
