Matins Gospel
Stand in the fear of God and listen to the Holy Gospel.
A reading from the Gospel according to our teacher Saint Matthew the Evangelist.
May His Blessings be with us all.
Matthew 7 : 22 - 29
Chapter 7
| 22 | Many will say to Me in that day, "Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name, cast out demons in Your name, and done many wonders in Your name?'
|
| 23 | And then I will declare to them, "I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness!'
|
| 24 | "Therefore whoever hears these sayings of Mine, and does them, I will liken him to a wise man who built his house on the rock:
|
| 25 | and the rain descended, the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house; and it did not fall, for it was founded on the rock.
|
| 26 | "But everyone who hears these sayings of Mine, and does not do them, will be like a foolish man who built his house on the sand:
|
| 27 | and the rain descended, the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house; and it fell. And great was its fall."
|
| 28 | And so it was, when Jesus had ended these sayings, that the people were astonished at His teaching,
|
| 29 | for He taught them as one having authority, and not as the scribes.
|
And Glory be to God forever.
