Vespers 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 26 : 6 - 13
Chapter 26
| 6 | And when Jesus was in Bethany at the house of Simon the leper,
|
| 7 | a woman came to Him having an alabaster flask of very costly fragrant oil, and she poured it on His head as He sat at the table.
|
| 8 | But when His disciples saw it, they were indignant, saying, "Why this waste?
|
| 9 | For this fragrant oil might have been sold for much and given to the poor."
|
| 10 | But when Jesus was aware of it, He said to them, "Why do you trouble the woman? For she has done a good work for Me.
|
| 11 | For you have the poor with you always, but Me you do not have always.
|
| 12 | For in pouring this fragrant oil on My body, she did it for My burial.
|
| 13 | Assuredly, I say to you, wherever this gospel is preached in the whole world, what this woman has done will also be told as a memorial to her."
|
And Glory be to God forever.
