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 11 : 11 - 19
Chapter 11
| 11 | "Assuredly, I say to you, among those born of women there has not risen one greater than John the Baptist; but he who is least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he.
|
| 12 | And from the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven suffers violence, and the violent take it by force.
|
| 13 | For all the prophets and the law prophesied until John.
|
| 14 | And if you are willing to receive it, he is Elijah who is to come.
|
| 15 | He who has ears to hear, let him hear!
|
| 16 | "But to what shall I liken this generation? It is like children sitting in the marketplaces and calling to their companions,
|
| 17 | and saying: "We played the flute for you, And you did not dance; We mourned to you, And you did not lament.'
|
| 18 | For John came neither eating nor drinking, and they say, "He has a demon.'
|
| 19 | The Son of Man came eating and drinking, and they say, "Look, a glutton and a winebibber, a friend of tax collectors and sinners!' But wisdom is justified by her children."
|
And Glory be to God forever.
