Matins Gospel
Stand in the fear of God and listen to the Holy Gospel.
A reading from the Gospel according to our teacher Saint Luke the Evangelist.
May His Blessings be with us all.
Luke 11 : 20 - 28
Chapter 11
20 | But if I cast out demons with the finger of God, surely the kingdom of God has come upon you.
|
21 | When a strong man, fully armed, guards his own palace, his goods are in peace.
|
22 | But when a stronger than he comes upon him and overcomes him, he takes from him all his armor in which he trusted, and divides his spoils.
|
23 | He who is not with Me is against Me, and he who does not gather with Me scatters.
|
24 | "When an unclean spirit goes out of a man, he goes through dry places, seeking rest; and finding none, he says, "I will return to my house from which I came.'
|
25 | And when he comes, he finds it swept and put in order.
|
26 | Then he goes and takes with him seven other spirits more wicked than himself, and they enter and dwell there; and the last state of that man is worse than the first."
|
27 | And it happened, as He spoke these things, that a certain woman from the crowd raised her voice and said to Him, "Blessed is the womb that bore You, and the breasts which nursed You!"
|
28 | But He said, "More than that, blessed are those who hear the word of God and keep it!"
|
And Glory be to God forever.
