17. “But when he came to himself, he said, ‘How many of my father's hired servants have bread enough and to spare, and I perish with hunger! 18. I will arise and go to my father, and will say to him, “Father, I have sinned against heaven and before you, 19. and I am no longer worthy to be called your son. Make me like one of your hired servants.” ’ 20. “And he arose and came to his father. But when he was still a great way off, his father saw him and had compassion, and ran and fell on his neck and kissed him. 21. And the son said to him, ‘Father, I have sinned against heaven and in your sight, and am no longer worthy to be called your son. ’ 22. “But the father said to his servants, ‘Bring out the best robe and put it on him, and put a ring on his hand and sandals on his feet. 23. And bring the fatted calf here and kill it, and let us eat and be merry; 24. for this my son was dead and is alive again; he was lost and is found. ’ And they began to be merry. 25. “Now his older son was in the field. And as he came and drew near to the house, he heard music and dancing. 26. So he called one of the servants and asked what these things meant. 27. And he said to him, ‘Your brother has come, and because he has received him safe and sound, your father has killed the fatted calf. ’ 28. “But he was angry and would not go in. Therefore his father came out and pleaded with him. 29. So he answered and said to his father, ‘Lo, these many years I have been serving you; I never transgressed your commandment at any time; and yet you never gave me a young goat, that I might make merry with my friends. 30. But as soon as this son of yours came, who has devoured your livelihood with harlots, you killed the fatted calf for him. ’ 31. “And he said to him, ‘Son, you are always with me, and all that I have is yours. 32. It was right that we should make merry and be glad, for your brother was dead and is alive again, and was lost and is found.’” ‘It is easier for heaven and earth to pass away than for one tittle of the law to fail,’ says the Lord to his desciples.

1. Therefore, having these promises, beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from all filthiness of the flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God. 2. Open your hearts to us. We have wronged no one, we have corrupted no one, we have cheated no one. 3. I do not say this to condemn; for I have said before that you are in our hearts, to die together and to live together. 4. Great is my boldness of speech toward you, great is my boasting on your behalf. I am filled with comfort. I am exceedingly joyful in all our tribulation. 5. For indeed, when we came to Macedonia, our bodies had no rest, but we were troubled on every side. Outside were conflicts, inside were fears. 6. Nevertheless God, who comforts the downcast, comforted us by the coming of Titus, 7. and not only by his coming, but also by the consolation with which he was comforted in you, when he told us of your earnest desire, your mourning, your zeal for me, so that I rejoiced even more. 8. For even if I made you sorry with my letter, I do not regret it; though I did regret it. For I perceive that the same epistle made you sorry, though only for a while. 9. Now I rejoice, not that you were made sorry, but that your sorrow led to repentance. For you were made sorry in a godly manner, that you might suffer loss from us in nothing.

2. My brethren, count it all joy when you fall into various trials, 3. knowing that the testing of your faith produces patience. 4. But let patience have its perfect work, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking nothing. 5. If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and it will be given to him. 6. But let him ask in faith, with no doubting, for he who doubts is like a wave of the sea driven and tossed by the wind. 7. For let not that man suppose that he will receive anything from the Lord; 8. he is a double - minded man, unstable in all his ways. 9. Let the lowly brother glory in his exaltation, 10. but the rich in his humiliation, because as a flower of the field he will pass away. 11. For no sooner has the sun risen with a burning heat than it withers the grass; its flower falls, and its beautiful appearance perishes. So the rich man also will fade away in his pursuits. 12. Blessed is the man who endures temptation; for when he has been approved, he will receive the crown of life which the Lord has promised to those who love Him.

1. Now when they had passed through Amphipolis and Apollonia, they came to Thessalonica, where there was a synagogue of the Jews. 2. Then Paul, as his custom was, went in to them, and for three Sabbaths reasoned with them from the Scriptures, 3. explaining and demonstrating that the Christ had to suffer and rise again from the dead, and saying, “This Jesus whom I preach to you is the Christ.” 4. And some of them were persuaded; and a great multitude of the devout Greeks, and not a few of the leading women, joined Paul and Silas. 5. But the Jews who were not persuaded, becoming envious, took some of the evil men from the marketplace, and gathering a mob, set all the city in an uproar and attacked the house of Jason, and sought to bring them out to the people. 6. But when they did not find them, they dragged Jason and some brethren to the rulers of the city, crying out, “These who have turned the world upside down have come here too. 7. Jason has harbored them, and these are all acting contrary to the decrees of Caesar, saying there is another king—Jesus.” 8. And they troubled the crowd and the rulers of the city when they heard these things. 9. So when they had taken security from Jason and the rest, they let them go. The Church in Berea 10. Then the brethren immediately sent Paul and Silas away by night to Berea. When they arrived, they went into the synagogue of the Jews. 11. These were more fair - minded than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness, and searched the Scriptures daily to find out whether these things were so. 12. Therefore many of them believed, and also not a few of the Greeks, prominent women as well as men.

10. Now it happened, as Jesus sat at the table in the house, that behold, many tax collectors and sinners came and sat down with Him and His disciples. 11. And when the Pharisees saw it, they said to His disciples, “Why does your Teacher eat with tax collectors and sinners?” 12. When Jesus heard that, He said to them, “Those who are well have no need of a physician, but those who are sick. 13. But go and learn what this means: ‘ I desire mercy and not sacrifice. ’ For I did not come to call the righteous, but sinners, to repentance.” 14. Then the disciples of John came to Him, saying, “Why do we and the Pharisees fast often, but Your disciples do not fast?” 15. And Jesus said to them, “Can the friends of the bridegroom mourn as long as the bridegroom is with them? But the days will come when the bridegroom will be taken away from them, and then they will fast. 16. No one puts a piece of unshrunk cloth on an old garment; for the patch pulls away from the garment, and the tear is made worse. 17. Nor do they put new wine into old wineskins, or else the wineskins break, the wine is spilled, and the wineskins are ruined. But they put new wine into new wineskins, and both are preserved.” The Lord told his desciples, ‘Heaven and earth will pass away, but My words will by no means pass away.’

16. Now behold, one came and said to Him, “Good Teacher, what good thing shall I do that I may have eternal life?” 17. So He said to him, “Why do you call Me good? No one is good but One, that is, God. But if you want to enter into life, keep the commandments.” 18. He said to Him, “Which ones?” 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 your mother, ’a and, ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’” 20. The young man said to Him, “All these things I have kept from my youth. What do I still lack?” 21. Jesus said to him, “If you want to be perfect, go, sell what you have and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; and come, follow Me.” 22. But when the young man heard that saying, he went away sorrowful, for he had great possessions. 23. Then Jesus said to His disciples, “Assuredly, I say to you that it is hard for a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven. 24. And again I say to you, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God.” 25. When His disciples heard it, they were greatly astonished, saying, “Who then can be saved?” 26. But Jesus looked at them and said to them, “With men this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.” The Lord told his desciples, ‘Heaven and earth will pass away, but My words will by no means pass away.’

Then He said to them all, “If anyone desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow Me. 24. For whoever desires to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake will save it. 25. For what profit is it to a man if he gains the whole world, and is himself destroyed or lost? 26. For whoever is ashamed of Me and My words, of him the Son of Man will be ashamed when He comes in His own glory, and in His Father's, and of the holy angels. 27. But I tell you truly, there are some standing here who shall not taste death till they see the kingdom of God.” ‘It is easier for heaven and earth to pass away than for one tittle of the law to fail,’ says the Lord to his desciples.

I charge you before God and the Lord Jesus Christ and the elect angels that you observe these things without prejudice, doing nothing with partiality. 22. Do not lay hands on anyone hastily, nor share in other people's sins; keep yourself pure. 23.

Let him call for the elders of the church, and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord. 15. And the prayer of faith will save the sick, and the Lord will raise him up. And if he has committed sins, he will be forgiven. 16. Confess your trespasses to one another, and pray for one another, that you may be healed. The effective, fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much. 17. Elijah was a man with a nature like ours, and he prayed earnestly that it would not rain; and it did not rain on the land for three years and six months. 18. And he prayed again, and the heaven gave rain, and the earth produced its fruit. 19.

But He knew their thoughts, and said to the man who had the withered hand, “Arise and stand here.” And he arose and stood. 9. Then Jesus said to them, “ I will ask you one thing: Is it lawful on the Sabbath to do good or to do evil, to save life or to destroy?” 10. And when He had looked around at them all, He said to the man, “Stretch out your hand.” And he did so, and his hand was restored as whole as the other. 11.

But Jesus answered and said, “You do not know what you ask. Are you able to drink the cup that I am about to drink, and be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with?” They said to Him, “We are able.” 23. So He said to them, “You will indeed drink My cup, and be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with; but to sit on My right hand and on My left is not Mine to give, but it is for those for whom it is prepared by My Father.” 24. And when the ten heard it, they were greatly displeased with the two brothers. 25. But Jesus called them to Himself and said, “You know that the rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them, and those who are great exercise authority over them. 26. Yet it shall not be so among you; but whoever desires to become great among you, let him be your servant. 27. And whoever desires to be first among you, let him be your slave— 28. just as the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life a ransom for many.” The Lord told his desciples, ‘Heaven and earth will pass away, but My words will by no means pass away.’

As it is written: “For Your sake we are killed all day long; We are accounted as sheep for the slaughter.” 37. Yet in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us. 38. For I am persuaded that neither death nor life, nor angels nor principalities nor powers, nor things present nor things to come, 39. nor height nor depth, nor any other created thing, shall be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

6. In this you greatly rejoice, though now for a little while, if need be, you have been grieved by various trials, 7. that the genuineness of your faith, being much more precious than gold that perishes, though it is tested by fire, may be found to praise, honor, and glory at the revelation of Jesus Christ, 8. whom having not seen you love. Though now you do not see Him, yet believing, you rejoice with joy inexpressible and full of glory, 9. receiving the end of your faith—the salvation of your souls.

1. Now Saul was consenting to his death. At that time a great persecution arose against the church which was at Jerusalem; and they were all scattered throughout the regions of Judea and Samaria, except the apostles. 2. And devout men carried Stephen to his burial, and made great lamentation over him. 3. As for Saul, he made havoc of the church, entering every house, and dragging off men and women, committing them to prison. 4. Therefore those who were scattered went everywhere preaching the word.

For He who avenges blood remembers them; He does not forget the cry of the poor. Have mercy on me, O Lord, and see how my enemies have humbled me.

ወንጌል Gospel

12. But before all these things, they will lay their hands on you and persecute you, delivering you up to the synagogues and prisons. You will be brought before kings and rulers for My name's sake. 13. But it will turn out for you as an occasion for testimony. 14. Therefore settle it in your hearts not to meditate beforehand on what you will answer; 15. for I will give you a mouth and wisdom which all your adversaries will not be able to contradict or resist. 16. You will be betrayed even by parents and brothers, relatives and friends; and they will put some of you to death. 17. And you will be hated by all for My name's sake. 18. But not a hair of your head shall be lost. 19. By your patience possess your souls. ‘It is easier for heaven and earth to pass away than for one tittle of the law to fail,’ says the Lord to his desciples.

ወንጌል Gospel

32. Now Jesus called His disciples to Himself and said, “ I have compassion on the multitude, because they have now continued with Me three days and have nothing to eat. And I do not want to send them away hungry, lest they faint on the way.” 33. Then His disciples said to Him, “Where could we get enough bread in the wilderness to fill such a great multitude?” 34. Jesus said to them, “How many loaves do you have?” And they said, “Seven, and a few little fish.” 35. So He commanded the multitude to sit down on the ground. 36. And He took the seven loaves and the fish and gave thanks, broke them and gave them to His disciples; and the disciples gave to the multitude. 37. So they all ate and were filled, and they took up seven large baskets full of the fragments that were left. 38. Now those who ate were four thousand men, besides women and children. 39. And He sent away the multitude, got into the boat, and came to the region of Magdala. The Lord told his desciples, ‘Heaven and earth will pass away, but My words will by no means pass away.’

ወንጌል Gospel

1. Immediately, in the morning, the chief priests held a consultation with the elders and scribes and the whole council; and they bound Jesus, led Him away, and delivered Him to Pilate. 2. Then Pilate asked Him, “Are You the King of the Jews?” He answered and said to him, “It is as you say.” 3. And the chief priests accused Him of many things, but He answered nothing. 4. Then Pilate asked Him again, saying, “Do You answer nothing? See how many things they testify against You!” 5. But Jesus still answered nothing, so that Pilate marveled. 6. Now at the feast he was accustomed to releasing one prisoner to them, whomever they requested. 7. And there was one named Barabbas, who was chained with his fellow rebels; they had committed murder in the rebellion. 8. Then the multitude, crying aloud, began to ask him to do just as he had always done for them. 9. But Pilate answered them, saying, “Do you want me to release to you the King of the Jews?” 10. For he knew that the chief priests had handed Him over because of envy. 11. But the chief priests stirred up the crowd, so that he should rather release Barabbas to them. 12. Pilate answered and said to them again, “What then do you want me to do with Him whom you call the King of the Jews?” 13. So they cried out again, “Crucify Him!” 14. Then Pilate said to them, “Why, what evil has He done?” But they cried out all the more, “Crucify Him!” 15. So Pilate, wanting to gratify the crowd, released Barabbas to them; and he delivered Jesus, after he had scourged Him, to be crucified. He who has ears to hear, let him hear!

1. Paul, a prisoner of Christ Jesus, and Timothy our brother, To Philemon our beloved friend and fellow laborer, 2. to the beloved Apphia, Archippus our fellow soldier, and to the church in your house: 3. Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. 4. I thank my God, making mention of you always in my prayers, 5. hearing of your love and faith which you have toward the Lord Jesus and toward all the saints, 6. that the sharing of your faith may become effective by the acknowledgment of every good thing which is in you in Christ Jesus. 7. For we have great joy and consolation in your love, because the hearts of the saints have been refreshed by you, brother. Plea for Onesimus 8. Therefore, though I might be very bold in Christ to command you what is fitting, 9. yet for love's sake I rather appeal to you—being such a one as Paul, the aged, and now also a prisoner of Jesus Christ— 10. I appeal to you for my son Onesimus, whom I have begotten while in my chains, 11. who once was unprofitable to you, but now is profitable to you and to me. 12. I am sending him back. You therefore receive him, that is, my own heart, 13. whom I wished to keep with me, that on your behalf he might minister to me in my chains for the gospel.

18. For Christ also suffered once for sins, the just for the unjust, that He might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh but made alive by the Spirit, 19. by whom also He went and preached to the spirits in prison, 20. who formerly were disobedient, when once the Divine longsuffering waited in the days of Noah, while the ark was being prepared, in which a few, that is, eight souls, were saved through water. 21. There is also an antitype which now saves us—baptism (not the removal of the filth of the flesh, but the answer of a good conscience toward God), through the resurrection of Jesus Christ, 22. who has gone into heaven and is at the right hand of God, angels and authorities and powers having been made subject to Him.

25. Then Barnabas departed for Tarsus to seek Saul. 26. And when he had found him, he brought him to Antioch. So it was that for a whole year they assembled with the church and taught a great many people. And the disciples were first called Christians in Antioch. 27. And in these days prophets came from Jerusalem to Antioch. 28. Then one of them, named Agabus, stood up and showed by the Spirit that there was going to be a great famine throughout all the world, which also happened in the days of Claudius Caesar. 29. Then the disciples, each according to his ability, determined to send relief to the brethren dwelling in Judea. 30. This they also did, and sent it to the elders by the hands of Barnabas and Saul.

35. Then they crucified Him, and divided His garments, casting lots, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet: “They divided My garments among them, And for My clothing they cast lots.” 36. Sitting down, they kept watch over Him there. 37. And they put up over His head the accusation written against Him: 38. Then two robbers were crucified with Him, one on the right and another on the left. 39. And those who passed by blasphemed Him, wagging their heads 40. and saying, “You who destroy the temple and build it in three days, save Yourself! If You are the Son of God, come down from the cross.” 41. Likewise the chief priests also, mocking with the scribes and elders, said, 42. “He saved others; Himself He cannot save. If He is the King of Israel, let Him now come down from the cross, and we will believe Him. The Lord told his desciples, ‘Heaven and earth will pass away, but My words will by no means pass away.’

1. There were present at that season some who told Him about the Galileans whose blood Pilate had mingled with their sacrifices. 2. And Jesus answered and said to them, “Do you suppose that these Galileans were worse sinners than all other Galileans, because they suffered such things? 3. I tell you, no; but unless you repent you will all likewise perish. 4. Or those eighteen on whom the tower in Siloam fell and killed them, do you think that they were worse sinners than all other men who dwelt in Jerusalem? 5. I tell you, no; but unless you repent you will all likewise perish.” ‘It is easier for heaven and earth to pass away than for one tittle of the law to fail,’ says the Lord to his desciples.
