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 7 : 37 - 46
Chapter 7
37 | On the last day, that great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried out, saying, "If anyone thirsts, let him come to Me and drink.
|
38 | He who believes in Me, as the Scripture has said, out of his heart will flow rivers of living water."
|
39 | But this He spoke concerning the Spirit, whom those believing in Him would receive; for the Holy Spirit was not yet given, because Jesus was not yet glorified.
|
40 | Therefore many from the crowd, when they heard this saying, said, "Truly this is the Prophet."
|
41 | Others said, "This is the Christ." But some said, "Will the Christ come out of Galilee?
|
42 | Has not the Scripture said that the Christ comes from the seed of David and from the town of Bethlehem, where David was?"
|
43 | So there was a division among the people because of Him.
|
44 | Now some of them wanted to take Him, but no one laid hands on Him.
|
45 | Then the officers came to the chief priests and Pharisees, who said to them, "Why have you not brought Him?"
|
46 | The officers answered, "No man ever spoke like this Man!"
|
And Glory be to God forever.
