Matins 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 1 : 1 - 11
Chapter 1
| 1 | The beginning of the gospel of Jesus Christ, the Son of God.
|
| 2 | As it is written in the Prophets: "Behold, I send My messenger before Your face, Who will prepare Your way before You."
|
| 3 | "The voice of one crying in the wilderness: "Prepare the way of the LORD; Make His paths straight."'
|
| 4 | John came baptizing in the wilderness and preaching a baptism of repentance for the remission of sins.
|
| 5 | Then all the land of Judea, and those from Jerusalem, went out to him and were all baptized by him in the Jordan River, confessing their sins.
|
| 6 | Now John was clothed with camel's hair and with a leather belt around his waist, and he ate locusts and wild honey.
|
| 7 | And he preached, saying, "There comes One after me who is mightier than I, whose sandal strap I am not worthy to stoop down and loose.
|
| 8 | I indeed baptized you with water, but He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit."
|
| 9 | It came to pass in those days that Jesus came from Nazareth of Galilee, and was baptized by John in the Jordan.
|
| 10 | And immediately, coming up from the water, He saw the heavens parting and the Spirit descending upon Him like a dove.
|
| 11 | Then a voice came from heaven, "You are My beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased."
|
And Glory be to God forever.
