THE EPISTLE
This is the day which the Lord hath made; let us rejoice and be glad therein!
O give thanks unto the Lord, for He is good; His mercy endureth forever.
The Reading from the Acts of the Apostles. (1:1-8)
In the first book, O Theophilus, I have dealt with all that Jesus began to
do and teach, until the day when He was taken up, after He had given
commandment through the Holy Spirit to the Apostles whom He
3
had chosen. To them He presented Himself alive after His passion
by many proofs, appearing to them during forty days, and speaking of
the kingdom of God. And while staying with them He charged them not
to depart from Jerusalem, but to wait for the promise of the Father,
which, He said, “You heard from Me; for John baptized with water, but
before many days you shall be baptized with the Holy Spirit.” So when
they had come together, they asked Him, “Lord, will you at this time re-
store the kingdom to Israel?” He said to them, “It is not for you to know
times or seasons which the Father has fixed by His own authority. But
you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and
you shall be my witnesses in Jerusalem and in all Judea and Samaria and
to the end of the earth.”
THE GOSPEL
The Reading from the Holy Gospel according to St. John. (1:1-17)
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the
Word was God. He was in the beginning with God; all things were made
through Him, and without Him was not anything made that was made.
In Him was life, and the life was the light of men. The light shines in the
darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it. There was a man sent
from God, whose name was John. He came for testimony, to bear witness
to the light, that all might believe through him. He was not the light, but
came to bear witness to the light. The true light that enlightens every
man was coming into the world. He was in the world, and the world was
made through Him, yet the world knew Him not. He came to His own
home, and His own people received Him not. But to all who received
Him, who believed in His Name, He gave power to become children of
God; who were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the
will of man, but of God. And the Word became flesh and dwelt among
us, full of grace and truth; we have beheld His glory, glory as of the only
Son from the Father. (John bore witness to Him, and cried, “This was He
of Whom I said, ‘He Who comes after me ranks before me, for He was
before me.’”) And from His fullness have we all received, grace upon
grace. For the law was given through Moses; grace and truth came
through Jesus Christ.
