At that moment the Lord turned and looked at Peter. Suddenly, the Lord’s words flashed through Peter’s mind:

The leading priests picked up the coins. “It wouldn’t be right to put this money in the Temple treasury,” they said, “since it was payment for murder.”27:6 Greek since it is the price for blood.

Lord God my Father,

Keep me strong as I am tested, protect me from falling to deceit.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen
