Matins Gospel
Stand in the fear of God and listen to the Holy Gospel.
A reading from the Gospel according to our teacher Saint John the Evangelist.
May His Blessings be with us all.
John 14 : 26 - 15 : 4
Chapter 14
26 | But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, He will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all things that I said to you.
|
27 | Peace I leave with you, My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.
|
28 | You have heard Me say to you, "I am going away and coming back to you.' If you loved Me, you would rejoice because I said, "I am going to the Father,' for My Father is greater than I.
|
29 | "And now I have told you before it comes, that when it does come to pass, you may believe.
|
30 | I will no longer talk much with you, for the ruler of this world is coming, and he has nothing in Me.
|
31 | But that the world may know that I love the Father, and as the Father gave Me commandment, so I do. Arise, let us go from here.
|
Chapter 15
1 | "I am the true vine, and My Father is the vinedresser.
|
2 | Every branch in Me that does not bear fruit He takes away; and every branch that bears fruit He prunes, that it may bear more fruit.
|
3 | You are already clean because of the word which I have spoken to you.
|
4 | Abide in Me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, unless it abides in the vine, neither can you, unless you abide in Me.
|
And Glory be to God forever.
