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 17 : 14 - 21
Chapter 17
| 14 | And when they had come to the multitude, a man came to Him, kneeling down to Him and saying,
|
| 15 | "Lord, have mercy on my son, for he is an epileptic and suffers severely; for he often falls into the fire and often into the water.
|
| 16 | So I brought him to Your disciples, but they could not cure him."
|
| 17 | Then Jesus answered and said, "O faithless and perverse generation, how long shall I be with you? How long shall I bear with you? Bring him here to Me."
|
| 18 | And Jesus rebuked the demon, and it came out of him; and the child was cured from that very hour.
|
| 19 | Then the disciples came to Jesus privately and said, "Why could we not cast it out?"
|
| 20 | So Jesus said to them, "Because of your unbelief; for assuredly, I say to you, if you have faith as a mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, "Move from here to there,' and it will move; and nothing will be impossible for you.
|
| 21 | However, this kind does not go out except by prayer and fasting."
|
And Glory be to God forever.
