☆ Gospel:Luke 1:57-66
57
Now it was time for Elisabeth to give birth, and she had a son.
58
And it came to the ears of her neighbours and relations that the Lord had been very good to her, and they took part in her joy.
59
And on the eighth day they came to see to the circumcision of the child, and they would have given him the name of Zacharias, his father's name;
60
But his mother made answer and said, No, his name is John.
61
And they said, Not one of your relations has that name.
62
And they made signs to his father, to say what name was to be given to him.
63
And he sent for writing materials and put down: His name is John; and they were all surprised.
64
And straight away his mouth was open and his tongue was free and he gave praise to God.
65
And fear came on all those who were living round about them: and there was much talk about all these things in all the hill-country of Judaea.
66
And all who had word of them kept them in their minds and said, What will this child be? For the hand of the Lord was with him.

☆ Malachi 3:1-4, 4：5-6
（Malachi 3:1-4, 23-24）**
3:1
See, I am sending my servant, and he will make ready the way before me; and the Lord, whom you are looking for, will suddenly come to his Temple; and the angel of the agreement, in whom you have delight, see, he is coming, says the Lord of armies.
2
But by whom may the day of his coming be faced? and who may keep his place when he is seen? for he is like the metal-tester's fire and the cleaner's soap.
3
He will take his seat, testing and cleaning the sons of Levi, burning away the evil from them as from gold and silver; so that they may make offerings to the Lord in righteousness.
4
Then the offering of Judah and Jerusalem will be pleasing to the Lord, as in days gone by, and as in past years.
4:5
See, I am sending you Elijah the prophet before the day of the Lord comes, that great day, greatly to be feared.
6
And by him the hearts of fathers will be turned to their children, and the hearts of children to their fathers; for fear that I may come and put the earth under a curse.
**（Malachi 3:1-4, 23-24）
