Psalm

Psalms 22:2

2O My God, I cry in the daytime, but You do not hear; And in the night season, and am not silent.

Gospel

Luke 4:38-41

38Now He arose from the synagogue and entered Simon's house. But Simon's wife's mother was sick with a high fever, and they made request of Him concerning her.39So He stood over her and rebuked the fever, and it left her. And immediately she arose and served them.40When the sun was setting, all those who had any that were sick with various diseases brought them to Him; and He laid His hands on every one of them and healed them.41And demons also came out of many, crying out and saying, You are the Christ, the Son of God! And He, rebuking them, did not allow them to speak, for they knew that He was the Christ.

Matins

Psalm

Psalms 119:164-165

164Seven times a day I praise You, Because of Your righteous judgments.165Great peace have those who love Your law

Gospel

Luke 4:42 - 5:3

42Now when it was day, He departed and went into a deserted place. And the crowd sought Him and came to Him, and tried to keep Him from leaving them;43but He said to them, I must preach the kingdom of God to the other cities also, because for this purpose I have been sent.44And He was preaching in the synagogues of Galilee.1So it was, as the multitude pressed about Him to hear the word of God, that He stood by the Lake of Gennesaret,2and saw two boats standing by the lake; but the fishermen had gone from them and were washing their nets.3Then He got into one of the boats, which was Simon's, and asked him to put out a little from the land. And He sat down and taught the multitudes from the boat.

Romans 8:12-17

12Therefore, brethren, we are debtors--not to the flesh, to live according to the flesh.13For if you live according to the flesh you will die; but if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body, you will live.14For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God.15For you did not receive the spirit of bondage again to fear, but you received the Spirit of adoption by whom we cry out, Abba, Father.16The Spirit Himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God,17and if children, then heirs--heirs of God and joint heirs with Christ, if indeed we suffer with Him, that we may also be glorified together.

2 John 1:1-8

1THE ELDER, To the elect lady and her children, whom I love in truth, and not only I, but also all those who have known the truth,2because of the truth which abides in us and will be with us forever:3Grace, mercy, and peace will be with you from God the Father and from the Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of the Father, in truth and love.4I rejoiced greatly that I have found some of your children walking in truth, as we received commandment from the Father.5And now I plead with you, lady, not as though I wrote a new commandment to you, but that which we have had from the beginning: that we love one another.6This is love, that we walk according to His commandments. This is the commandment, that as you have heard from the beginning, you should walk in it.7For many deceivers have gone out into the world who do not confess Jesus Christ as coming in the flesh. This is a deceiver and an antichrist.8Look to yourselves, that we do not lose those things we worked for, but that we may receive a full reward.

Acts

Acts 14:19-23

19Then Jews from Antioch and Iconium came there; and having persuaded the multitudes, they stoned Paul and dragged him out of the city, supposing him to be dead.20However, when the disciples gathered around him, he rose up and went into the city. And the next day he departed with Barnabas to Derbe.21And when they had preached the gospel to that city and made many disciples, they returned to Lystra, Iconium, and Antioch,22strengthening the souls of the disciples, exhorting them to continue in the faith, and saying, We must through many tribulations enter the kingdom of God.23So when they had appointed elders in every church, and prayed with fasting, they commended them to the Lord in whom they had believed.

Psalm

Psalms 82:8, 6

8Arise, O God, judge the earth; For You shall inherit all nations.
6I said, You are gods, And all of you are children of the Most High.

Gospel

John 15:1-8

1I am the true vine, and My Father is the vinedresser.2Every branch in Me that does not bear fruit He takes away; and every branch that bears fruit He prunes, that it may bear more fruit.3You are already clean because of the word which I have spoken to you.4Abide in Me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, unless it abides in the vine, neither can you, unless you abide in Me.5I am the vine, you are the branches. He who abides in Me, and I in him, bears much fruit; for without Me you can do nothing.6If anyone does not abide in Me, he is cast out as a branch and is withered; and they gather them and throw them into the fire, and they are burned.7If you abide in Me, and My words abide in you, you will ask what you desire, and it shall be done for you.8By this My Father is glorified, that you bear much fruit; so you will be My disciples.
