Vespers 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 7 : 1 - 10
Chapter 7
| 1 | Now when He concluded all His sayings in the hearing of the people, He entered Capernaum.
|
| 2 | And a certain centurion's servant, who was dear to him, was sick and ready to die.
|
| 3 | So when he heard about Jesus, he sent elders of the Jews to Him, pleading with Him to come and heal his servant.
|
| 4 | And when they came to Jesus, they begged Him earnestly, saying that the one for whom He should do this was deserving,
|
| 5 | "for he loves our nation, and has built us a synagogue."
|
| 6 | Then Jesus went with them. And when He was already not far from the house, the centurion sent friends to Him, saying to Him, "Lord, do not trouble Yourself, for I am not worthy that You should enter under my roof.
|
| 7 | Therefore I did not even think myself worthy to come to You. But say the word, and my servant will be healed.
|
| 8 | For I also am a man placed under authority, having soldiers under me. And I say to one, "Go,' and he goes; and to another, "Come,' and he comes; and to my servant, "Do this,' and he does it."
|
| 9 | When Jesus heard these things, He marveled at him, and turned around and said to the crowd that followed Him, "I say to you, I have not found such great faith, not even in Israel!"
|
| 10 | And those who were sent, returning to the house, found the servant well who had been sick.
|
And Glory be to God forever.
