The Scripture Readings
John 20:1-10 (7th Matins Gospel)
1
Now on the first day of the week Mary Magdalene went to the tomb early, while it was still dark, and saw that the stone had been taken away from the tomb.
2
Then she ran and came to Simon Peter, and to the other disciple, whom Jesus loved, and said to them, “They have taken away the Lord out of the tomb, and we do not know where they have laid Him.”
3
Peter therefore went out, and the other disciple, and were going to the tomb.
4
So they both ran together, and the other disciple outran Peter and came to the tomb first.
5
And he, stooping down and looking in, saw the linen cloths lying there; yet he did not go in.
6
Then Simon Peter came, following him, and went into the tomb; and he saw the linen cloths lying there,
7
and the handkerchief that had been around His head, not lying with the linen cloths, but folded together in a place by itself.
8
Then the other disciple, who came to the tomb first, went in also; and he saw and believed.
9
For as yet they did not know the Scripture, that He must rise again from the dead.
10
Then the disciples went away again to their own homes.
6
But this I say: He who sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and he who sows bountifully will also reap bountifully.
7
So let each one give as he purposes in his heart, not grudgingly or of necessity; for God loves a cheerful giver.
8
And God is able to make all grace abound toward you, that you, always having all sufficiency in all things, may have an abundance for every good work.
9
As it is written: “He has dispersed abroad, He has given to the poor; His righteousness endures forever.”
10
Now may He who supplies seed to the sower, and bread for food, supply and multiply the seed you have sown and increase the fruits of your righteousness,
11
while you are enriched in everything for all liberality, which causes thanksgiving through us to God.
5
A sower went out to sow his seed. And as he sowed, some fell by the wayside; and it was trampled down, and the birds of the air devoured it.
6
Some fell on rock; and as soon as it sprang up, it withered away because it lacked moisture.
7
And some fell among thorns, and the thorns sprang up with it and choked it.
8
But others fell on good ground, sprang up, and yielded a crop a hundredfold. When He had said these things He cried, “He who has ears to hear, let him hear!”
9
Then His disciples asked Him, saying, “What does this parable mean?”
10
And He said, “To you it has been given to know the mysteries of the kingdom of God, but to the rest it is given in parables, that ‘Seeing they may not see, And hearing they may not understand.’
11
Now the parable is this: The seed is the word of God.
12
Those by the wayside are the ones who hear; then the devil comes and takes away the word out of their hearts, lest they should believe and be saved.
13
But the ones on the rock are those who, when they hear, receive the word with joy; and these have no root, who believe for a while and in time of temptation fall away.
14
Now the ones that fell among thorns are those who, when they have heard, go out and are choked with cares, riches, and pleasures of life, and bring no fruit to maturity.
15
But the ones that fell on the good ground are those who, having heard the word with a noble and good heart, keep it and bear fruit with patience.
Hebrews 13:7-16 Fathers
7
Remember those who rule over you, who have spoken the word of God to you, whose faith follow, considering the outcome of their conduct.
8
Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever.
9
Do not be carried about with various and strange doctrines. For it is good that the heart be established by grace, not with foods which have not profited those who have been occupied with them.
10
We have an altar from which those who serve the tabernacle have no right to eat.
11
For the bodies of those animals, whose blood is brought into the sanctuary by the high priest for sin, are burned outside the camp.
12
Therefore Jesus also, that He might sanctify the people with His own blood, suffered outside the gate.
13
Therefore let us go forth to Him, outside the camp, bearing His reproach.
14
For here we have no continuing city, but we seek the one to come.
15
Therefore by Him let us continually offer the sacrifice of praise to God, that is, the fruit of our lips, giving thanks to His name.
16
But do not forget to do good and to share, for with such sacrifices God is well pleased.
John 17:1-13 Fathers
1
Jesus spoke these words, lifted up His eyes to heaven, and said: “Father, the hour has come. Glorify Your Son, that Your Son also may glorify You,
2
as You have given Him authority over all flesh, that He should give eternal life to as many as You have given Him.
3
And this is eternal life, that they may know You, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom You have sent.
4
I have glorified You on the earth. I have finished the work which You have given Me to do.
5
And now, O Father, glorify Me together with Yourself, with the glory which I had with You before the world was.
6
I have manifested Your name to the men whom You have given Me out of the world. They were Yours, You gave them to Me, and they have kept Your word.
7
Now they have known that all things which You have given Me are from You.
8
For I have given to them the words which You have given Me; and they have received them, and have known surely that I came forth from You; and they have believed that You sent Me.
9
I pray for them. I do not pray for the world but for those whom You have given Me, for they are Yours.
10
And all Mine are Yours, and Yours are Mine, and I am glorified in them.
11
Now I am no longer in the world, but these are in the world, and I come to You. Holy Father, keep through Your name those whom You have given Me, that they may be one as We are.
12
While I was with them in the world, I kept them in Your name. Those whom You gave Me I have kept; and none of them is lost except the son of perdition, that the Scripture might be fulfilled.
13
But now I come to You, and these things I speak in the world, that they may have My joy fulfilled in themselves.
