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 12 : 22 - 31
Chapter 12
| 22 | Then He said to His disciples, "Therefore I say to you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat; nor about the body, what you will put on.
|
| 23 | Life is more than food, and the body is more than clothing.
|
| 24 | Consider the ravens, for they neither sow nor reap, which have neither storehouse nor barn; and God feeds them. Of how much more value are you than the birds?
|
| 25 | And which of you by worrying can add one cubit to his stature?
|
| 26 | If you then are not able to do the least, why are you anxious for the rest?
|
| 27 | Consider the lilies, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin; and yet I say to you, even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.
|
| 28 | If then God so clothes the grass, which today is in the field and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, how much more will He clothe you, O you of little faith?
|
| 29 | "And do not seek what you should eat or what you should drink, nor have an anxious mind.
|
| 30 | For all these things the nations of the world seek after, and your Father knows that you need these things.
|
| 31 | But seek the kingdom of God, and all these things shall be added to you.
|
And Glory be to God forever.
