Vespers Gospel
Stand in the fear of God and listen to the Holy Gospel.
A reading from the Gospel according to our teacher Saint Mark the Evangelist.
May His Blessings be with us all.
Mark 12 : 35 - 40
Chapter 12
| 35 | Then Jesus answered and said, while He taught in the temple, "How is it that the scribes say that the Christ is the Son of David?
|
| 36 | For David himself said by the Holy Spirit: "The LORD said to my Lord, "Sit at My right hand, Till I make Your enemies Your footstool."'
|
| 37 | Therefore David himself calls Him "Lord'; how is He then his Son?" And the common people heard Him gladly.
|
| 38 | Then He said to them in His teaching, "Beware of the scribes, who desire to go around in long robes, love greetings in the marketplaces,
|
| 39 | the best seats in the synagogues, and the best places at feasts,
|
| 40 | who devour widows' houses, and for a pretense make long prayers. These will receive greater condemnation."
|
And Glory be to God forever.
