Matins 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 17 : 3 - 10
Chapter 17
| 3 | Take heed to yourselves. If your brother sins against you, rebuke him; and if he repents, forgive him.
|
| 4 | And if he sins against you seven times in a day, and seven times in a day returns to you, saying, "I repent,' you shall forgive him."
|
| 5 | And the apostles said to the Lord, "Increase our faith."
|
| 6 | So the Lord said, "If you have faith as a mustard seed, you can say to this mulberry tree, "Be pulled up by the roots and be planted in the sea,' and it would obey you.
|
| 7 | And which of you, having a servant plowing or tending sheep, will say to him when he has come in from the field, "Come at once and sit down to eat'?
|
| 8 | But will he not rather say to him, "Prepare something for my supper, and gird yourself and serve me till I have eaten and drunk, and afterward you will eat and drink'?
|
| 9 | Does he thank that servant because he did the things that were commanded him? I think not.
|
| 10 | So likewise you, when you have done all those things which you are commanded, say, "We are unprofitable servants. We have done what was our duty to do."'
|
And Glory be to God forever.
