The main passage for this episode is taken from 1 Peter‬ ‭2‬:‭9‬-‭10‬ ‭ “But you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, His own special people, that you may proclaim the praises of Him who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light; who once were not a people but are now the people of God, who had not obtained mercy but now have obtained mercy.”
