Acts of the Apostles
| Acts 13,13-25. |
|---|
13 From Paphos, Paul and his companions set sail and arrived at Perga in Pamphylia. But John left them and returned to Jerusalem.
14 They continued on from Perga and reached Antioch in Pisidia. On the sabbath they entered (into) the synagogue and took their seats.
15 After the reading of the law and the prophets, the synagogue officials sent word to them, "My brothers, if one of you has a word of exhortation for the people, please speak."
16 So Paul got up, motioned with his hand, and said, "Fellow Israelites and you others who are God-fearing, listen.
17 The God of this people Israel chose our ancestors and exalted the people during their sojourn in the land of Egypt. With uplifted arm he led them out of it
18 and for about forty years he put up with them in the desert.
19 When he had destroyed seven nations in the land of Canaan, he gave them their land as an inheritance
20 at the end of about four hundred and fifty years. After these things he provided judges up to Samuel (the) prophet.
21 Then they asked for a king. God gave them Saul, son of Kish, a man from the tribe of Benjamin, for forty years.
22 Then he removed him and raised up David as their king; of him he testified, 'I have found David, son of Jesse, a man after my own heart; he will carry out my every wish.'
23 From this man's descendants God, according to his promise, has brought to Israel a savior, Jesus.
24 John heralded his coming by proclaiming a baptism of repentance to all the people of Israel;
25 and as John was completing his course, he would say, 'What do you suppose that I am? I am not he. Behold, one is coming after me; I am not worthy to unfasten the sandals of his feet.'"
Psalms
| Ps 89(88),2-3.21-22.25.27. |
|---|
2 The favors of the LORD I will sing forever;
through all generations my mouth shall proclaim your faithfulness.
3 For you have said, “My kindness is established forever”;
in heaven you have confirmed your faithfulness.
21 I have chosen David, my servant;
with my holy oil I have anointed him.
22 That my hand will be with him;
and that my arm will make him strong.
25 My loyalty and love will be with him;
through my name his horn will be exalted.
27 “He shall say of me, 'You are my father,
my God, the Rock, my savior.'
Holy Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Saint John
| John 13,16-20. |
|---|
16 When Jesus had washed the disciples' feet, he said to them: "Amen, amen, I say to you, no slave is greater than his master nor any messenger greater than the one who sent him.
17 If you understand this, blessed are you if you do it.
18 I am not speaking of all of you. I know those whom I have chosen. But so that the scripture might be fulfilled, 'The one who ate my food has raised his heel against me.'
19 From now on I am telling you before it happens, so that when it happens you may believe that I AM.
20 Amen, amen, I say to you, whoever receives the one I send receives me, and whoever receives me receives the one who sent me."
