Gospel : John 1:35-42
35 Again, the next day, John was standing with two of his disciples,
36 and he looked at Jesus as he walked, and said, "Behold, the Lamb of God!"
37 The two disciples heard him speak, and they followed Jesus.
38 Jesus turned, and saw them following, and said to them, "What are you looking for?"
They said to him, "Rabbi" (which is to say, being interpreted, Teacher), "where are you staying?"
39 He said to them, "Come, and see."
They came and saw where he was staying, and they stayed with him that day. It was about the tenth hour.§
40 One of the two who heard John, and followed him, was Andrew, Simon Peter's brother.
41 He first found his own brother, Simon, and said to him, "We have found the Messiah!" (which is, being interpreted, Christ**).
42 He brought him to Jesus. Jesus looked at him, and said, "You are Simon the son of Jonah. You shall be called Cephas" (which is by interpretation, Peter).
§1:39: 4:00 PM.
**1:41: "Messiah" (Hebrew) and "Christ" (Greek) both mean "Anointed One".

1 Samuel 3:3b-10, 19
3b Samuel had laid down in the LORD's temple, where God's ark was;
4 the LORD called Samuel; and he said, "Here I am."
5 He ran to Eli, and said, "Here I am; for you called me."
He said, "I didn't call. Lie down again."
He went and lay down.
6 The LORD called yet again, "Samuel!"
Samuel arose and went to Eli, and said, "Here I am; for you called me."
He answered, "I didn't call, my son. Lie down again."
7 Now Samuel didn't yet know the LORD, neither was the LORD's word yet revealed to him.
8 The LORD called Samuel again the third time. He arose and went to Eli, and said, "Here I am; for you called me."
Eli perceived that the LORD had called the child.
9 Therefore Eli said to Samuel, "Go, lie down. It shall be, if he calls you, that you shall say, 'Speak, the LORD; for your servant hears.'" So Samuel went and lay down in his place.
10 The LORD came, and stood, and called as at other times, "Samuel! Samuel!"
Then Samuel said, "Speak; for your servant hears."
19 Samuel grew, and the LORD was with him, and let none of his words fall to the ground.

1 Corinthians 6:13c-15a, 17-20
13c But the body is not for sexual immorality, but for the Lord; and the Lord for the body.
14 Now God raised up the Lord, and will also raise us up by his power.
15a Don't you know that your bodies are members of Christ?
17 But he who is joined to the Lord is one spirit.
18 Flee sexual immorality! "Every sin that a man does is outside the body," but he who commits sexual immorality sins against his own body.
19 Or don't you know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God? You are not your own, 20 for you were bought with a price. Therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God's.
