　April 15, 2026 Have a good day! ----- Wednesday of the Second Week of Easter ----- ☆ Gospel: John 3:16-21 16 For God had such love for the world that he gave his only Son, so that whoever has faith in him may not come to destruction but have eternal life. 17 God did not send his Son into the world to be judge of the world; he sent him so that the world might have salvation through him. 18 The man who has faith in him does not come up to be judged; but he who has no faith in him has been judged even now, because he has no faith in the name of the only Son of God. 19 And this is the test by which men are judged: the light has come into the world and men have more love for the dark than for the light, because their acts are evil. 20 The light is hated by everyone whose acts are evil and he does not come to the light for fear that his acts will be seen. 21 But he whose life is true comes to the light, so that it may be clearly seen that his acts have been done by the help of God. ----- ☆ Acts 5:17-26 17 But the high priest and those who were with him (the Sadducees) were full of envy, 18 And they took the Apostles and put them in the common prison. 19 But in the night an angel of the Lord, opening the doors of the prison, took them out and said, 20 Go, take your place in the Temple and give the people all the teaching about this Life. 21 And hearing this, they went into the Temple at dawn, and were teaching. But the high priest and those who were with him got together the Sanhedrin and the representatives of the children of Israel, and sent to the prison to get them. 22 But the men who were sent saw that they were not in the prison, and came back with the news, 23 Saying, The doors of the prison were safely shut, and the keepers were at the doors, but when they were open, there was nobody inside. 24 Now, at these words, the captain of the Temple and the chief priests were greatly troubled about what might be the end of this business. 25 And someone came and said to them, The men, whom you put in prison, are in the Temple teaching the people. 26 Then the captain and some of the police went and took them, but not violently, for fear that they might be stoned by the people. ----- ◇ Daily Readings April 15, 2026 https://www.usccb.org/bible/readings/041526.cfm ☆ The Bible in Basic English BBE https://www.biblestudytools.com/bbe/ ◇ The Holy Bible[King James Version] https://www.wordproject.org/bibles/kj/index.htm ◇ Abiding Radio Instrumental (BGM) https://www.abidingradio.org/radio/instrumental -----

Is he able to go into his mother's body a second time and come to birth again? 5 Jesus said in answer, Truly, I say to you, If a man's birth is not from water and from the Spirit, it is not possible for him to go into the kingdom of God. 6 That which has birth from the flesh is flesh, and that which has birth from the Spirit is spirit. 7 Do not be surprised that I say to you, It is necessary for you to have a second birth. 8 The wind goes where its pleasure takes it, and the sound of it comes to your ears, but you are unable to say where it comes from and where it goes: so it is with everyone whose birth is from the Spirit. ----- ☆ Acts 4:23-31 23 And when they had been made free, they came back to their friends, and gave an account of all the things which the chief priests and the authorities had said to them. 24 And hearing it, they all, with one mind, made prayer to God and said, O Lord, maker of heaven and earth and the sea and all things in them: 25 Who has said, by the Holy Spirit, through the mouth of our father David your servant, Why are the nations so violently moved, and why are the thoughts of the people so foolish? 26 The kings of the earth were lifted up, the rulers came together, against the Lord, and against his Christ: 27 For, truly, in this town, against your holy servant, Jesus, who was marked out by you as Christ, Herod, and Pontius Pilate, with the Gentiles and the people of Israel, came together, 28 To do that which had been fixed before by your hand and your purpose. 29 And now, Lord, take note of their cruel words, and give your servants power to be preachers of your word without fear, 30 While your hand is stretched out to do works of mercy; so that signs and wonders may be done through the name of your holy servant Jesus. 31 And when their prayer was ended, the place where they were was violently moved, and they all became full of the Holy Spirit, preaching the word of God without fear. ----- ◇ Daily Readings April 13, 2026 https://www.usccb.org/bible/readings/041326.cfm ☆ The Bible in Basic English BBE https://www.biblestudytools.com/bbe/ ◇ The Holy Bible[King James Version] https://www.wordproject.org/bibles/kj/index.htm ◇ Abiding Radio Instrumental (BGM) https://www.abidingradio.org/radio/instrumental -----

　April 12, 2026 Have a good day! ----- Second Sunday of Easter (or Sunday of Divine Mercy) ----- ☆ Gospel: John 20:19-31 19 At evening on that day, the first day of the week, when, for fear of the Jews, the doors were shut where the disciples were, Jesus came among them and said to them, May peace be with you! 20 And when he had said this, he let them see his hands and his side. Then the disciples were glad when they saw the Lord. 21 And Jesus said to them again, May peace be with you! As the Father sent me, even so I now send you. 22 And when he had said this, breathing on them, he said to them, Let the Holy Spirit come on you: 23 Any to whom you give forgiveness, will be made free from their sins; and any from whom you keep back forgiveness, will still be in their sins. 24 Now Thomas, one of the twelve, named Didymus, was not with them when Jesus came. 25 So the other disciples said to him, We have seen the Lord. But he said to them, If I do not see in his hands the print of the nails and put my finger into the print of the nails, and if I do not put my hand into his side, I will never have belief. 26 And after eight days, his disciples were again in the house and Thomas was with them. Though the doors were shut, Jesus came, and taking his place in the middle of them, he said, May peace be with you! 27 Then he said to Thomas, Put out your finger, and see my hands; and put your hand here into my side: and be no longer in doubt but have belief. 28 And Thomas said in answer, My Lord and my God! 29 Jesus said to him, Because you have seen me you have belief: a blessing will be on those who have belief though they have not seen me! 30 A number of other signs Jesus did before his disciples which are not recorded in this book: 31 But these are recorded, so that you may have faith that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and so that, having this faith you may have life in his name. ----- ☆ Acts 2:42-47 42 And they kept their attention fixed on the Apostles' teaching and were united together in the taking of broken bread and in prayer. 43 But fear came on every soul: and all sorts of wonders and signs were done by the Apostles. 44 And all those who were of the faith kept together, and had all things in common; 45 And exchanging their goods and property for money, they made division of it among them all, as they had need. 46 And day by day, going in agreement together regularly to the Temple and, taking broken bread together in their houses, they took their food with joy and with true hearts, 47 Giving praise to God, and having the approval of all the people; and every day the number of those who had salvation was increased by the Lord. ----- ☆ 1 Peter 1:3-9 3 Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who through his great mercy has given us a new birth and a living hope by the coming again of Jesus Christ from the dead, 4 And a heritage fair, holy and for ever new, waiting in heaven for you, 5 Who, by the power of God are kept, through faith, for that salvation, which will be seen at the last day. 6 You have cause for great joy in this, though it may have been necessary for you to be troubled for a little time, being tested in all sorts of ways, 7 So that the true metal of your faith, being of much greater value than gold (which, though it comes to an end, is tested by fire), may come to light in praise and glory and honour, at the revelation of Jesus Christ: 8 To whom your love is given, though you have not seen him; and the faith which you have in him, though you do not see him now, gives you joy greater than words and full of glory: 9 For so you have the true end of your faith, even the salvation of your souls. ----- ◇ Daily Readings April 12, 2026 https://www.usccb.org/bible/readings/041226.cfm ☆ The Bible in Basic English BBE https://www.biblestudytools.com/bbe/ ◇ The Holy Bible[King James Version] https://www.wordproject.org/bibles/kj/index.htm ◇ Abiding Radio Instrumental (BGM) https://www.abidingradio.org/radio/instrumental -----

They said to him, And we will come with you. They went out and got into the boat; but that night they took no fish. 4 Now very early in the morning Jesus was there by the edge of the sea (though the disciples were not conscious that it was Jesus). 5 So Jesus said to them, Children, have you taken any fish? They made answer, No. 6 And he said to them, Let down the net on the right side of the boat and you will get some. So they put it in the water and now they were not able to get it up again because of the great number of fish. 7 So the disciple who was dear to Jesus said to Peter, It is the Lord! Hearing that it was the Lord, Peter put his coat round him (because he was not clothed) and went into the sea. 8 And the other disciples came in the little boat (they were not far from land, only about two hundred cubits off) pulling the net full of fish. 9 When they got to land, they saw a fire of coals there, with fish cooking on it, and bread. 10 Jesus said to them, Get some of the fish which you have now taken. 11 So Peter went to the boat and came back pulling the net to land, full of great fish, a hundred and fifty-three; and though there was such a number the net was not broken. 12 Jesus said to them, Come and take some food. And all the disciples were in fear of putting the question, Who are you? being conscious that it was the Lord. 13 Then Jesus came and took the bread and gave it to them, and the fish in the same way. 14 Now this was the third time that Jesus let himself be seen by the disciples after he had come back from the dead. ----- ☆ Acts 4:1-12 1 And while they were talking to the people, the priests and the captain of the Temple and the Sadducees came up to them, 2 Being greatly troubled because they were teaching the people and preaching Jesus as an example of the coming back from the dead. 3 And they took them and put them in prison till the morning, for it was now evening. 4 But a number of those who gave hearing to the word had faith; and they were now about five thousand. 5 And on the day after, the rulers and those in authority and the scribes came together in Jerusalem; 6 And Annas, the high priest, was there, and Caiaphas and John and Alexander, and all the relations of the high priest. 7 Then sending for Peter and John, they said, By what power and in whose name have you done this? 8 Then Peter, being full of the Holy Spirit, said to them, O you rulers of the people and men of authority, 9 If we are questioned today about a good work done to a man who was ill, as to how he has been made well, 10 Take note, all of you, and all the people of Israel, that in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom you put to death on the cross, whom God gave back from the dead, even through him is this man now before you completely well. 11 He is the stone which you builders had no use for, but which has been made the chief stone of the building. 12 And in no other is there salvation: for there is no other name under heaven, given among men, through which we may have salvation. ----- ☆ The Bible in Basic English BBE https://www.biblestudytools.com/bbe/ ◇ Daily Readings April 10, 2026 https://www.usccb.org/bible/readings/041026.cfm ◇ Abiding Radio Instrumental (BGM) https://www.abidingradio.org/radio/instrumental -----

☆ Gospel: Matthew 28:8-15

8
And they went away quickly, with fear and great joy, to give his disciples the news.

9
And on the way, Jesus came to them, saying, Be glad. And they came and put their hands on his feet, and gave him worship.

10
Then said Jesus to them, Have no fear: go and give word to my brothers to go into Galilee, and there they will see me.

11
Now, while they were going, some of the watchmen came into the town and gave news to the chief priests of all the things which had taken place.

12
And when they had come together with those in authority, and had made their decision, they gave much money to the watchmen, saying,

13
Say, His disciples came by night and took him away secretly while we were sleeping.

14
And if this comes to the ruler's ears, we will see that he does not make you responsible.

15
So they took the money, and did as they had been ordered: and this account has been current among the Jews till the present time.

-----

☆ Acts 2:14, 22-33

14
But Peter, getting up, with the eleven, said in a loud voice, O men of Judaea, and all you who are living in Jerusalem, take note of this and give ear to my words.

22
Men of Israel, give ear to these words: Jesus of Nazareth, a man who had the approval of God, as was made clear to you by the great works and signs and wonders which God did by him among you, as you yourselves have knowledge,

23
Him, when he was given up, by the decision and knowledge of God, you put to death on the cross, by the hands of evil men:

24
But God gave him back to life, having made him free from the pains of death because it was not possible for him to be overcome by it.

25
For David said of him, I saw the Lord before my face at all times, for he is at my right hand, so that I may not be moved:

26
And for this cause my heart was glad and my tongue full of joy, and my flesh will be resting in hope:

27
For you will not let my soul be in hell and you will not give up your Holy One to destruction.

28
You have made me see the ways of life; I will be full of joy when I see your face.

29
My brothers, I may say to you openly that David came to his death, and was put in the earth, and his resting-place is with us today.

30
But being a prophet, and having in mind the oath which God had given to him, that of the fruit of his body one would take his place as a king,

31
He, having knowledge of the future, was talking of the coming again of Christ from the dead, that he was not kept in hell and his body did not see destruction.

32
This Jesus God has given back to life, of which we all are witnesses.

33
And so, being lifted up to the right hand of God, and having the Father's word that the Holy Spirit would come, he has sent this thing, which now you see and have knowledge of.

Have a good day!

The Resurrection of the Lord
The Mass of Easter Day

-----

☆ Gospel: John 20:1-9

1
Now on the first day of the week, very early, while it was still dark, Mary Magdalene came to the place and saw that the stone had been taken away from it.

2
Then she went running to Simon Peter, and to the other disciple who was loved by Jesus, and said to them, They have taken away the Lord out of the place of the dead and we have no knowledge where they have put him.

3
So Peter and the other disciple went out to the place of the dead.

4
They went running together, and the other disciple got in front of Peter and came first to the hole in the rock;

5
And looking in, he saw the linen bands on the earth; but he did not go in,

6
Then Simon Peter came after him and went into the hole in the rock; and he saw the linen bands on the earth,

7
And the cloth, which had been round his head, not with the linen bands but rolled up in a place by itself.

8
Then the other disciple who came there first went in; and he saw and belief came to him.

9
For at that time they had no knowledge that the Writings said that he would have to come again from the dead.

-----

☆ Acts 10:34a, 37-43

34a
Then Peter said,

37
That word you yourselves have knowledge of, which was made public through all Judaea, starting from Galilee, after the baptism of which John was the preacher,

38
About Jesus of Nazareth, how God gave the Holy Spirit to him, with power: and how he went about doing good and making well all who were troubled by evil spirits, for God was with him.

39
And we are witnesses of all the things which he did in the country of the Jews and in Jerusalem; whom they put to death, hanging him on a tree.

40
On the third day God gave him back to life, and let him be seen,

41
Not by all the people, but by witnesses marked out before by God, even by us, who took food and drink with him after he came back from the dead.

42
And he gave us orders to give news of this to the people, and to give public witness that this is he whom God has made judge of the living and the dead.

43
To him all the prophets give witness, that through his name everyone who has faith in him will have forgiveness of sins.

-----

☆ Colossians 3:1-4

1
If then you have a new life with Christ, give your attention to the things of heaven, where Christ is seated at the right hand of God.

2
Keep your mind on the higher things, not on the things of earth.

3
For your life on earth is done, and you have a secret life with Christ in God.

4
At the coming of Christ who is our life, you will be seen with him in glory.

---
Or
1 Corinthians 5:6b-8

6b
Do you not see that a little leaven makes a change in all the mass?

7
Take away, then, the old leaven, so that you may be a new mass, even as you are without leaven. For Christ has been put to death as our Passover.

8
Let us then keep the feast, not with old leaven, and not with the leaven of evil thoughts and acts, but with the unleavened bread of true thoughts and right feelings.

Holy Thursday-Evening Mass of the Lord's Supper

-----

☆ Gospel: John 13:1-15

1
Now before the feast of the Passover, it was clear to Jesus that the time had come for him to go away from this world to the Father. Having once had love for those in the world who were his, his love for them went on to the end.

2
So while a meal was going on, the Evil One having now put it into the heart of Judas Iscariot, Simon's son, to be false to him,

3
Jesus, being conscious that the Father had put everything into his hands, and that he came from God and was going to God,

4
Got up from table, put off his robe and took a cloth and put it round him.

5
Then he put water into a basin and was washing the feet of the disciples and drying them with the cloth which was round him.

6
So he came to Simon Peter. Peter said, Lord, are my feet to be washed by you?

7
And Jesus, answering, said to him, What I do is not clear to you now, but it will be clear to you in time to come.

8
Peter said, I will never let my feet be washed by you, never. Jesus said in answer, If I do not make you clean you have no part with me.

9
Simon Peter said to him, Lord, not my feet only, but my hands and my head.

10
Jesus said to him, He who is bathed has need only to have his feet washed and then he is clean all over: and you, my disciples, are clean, but not all of you.

11
(He had knowledge who was false to him; that is why he said, You are not all clean.)

12
Then, after washing their feet and putting on his robe again, he took his seat and said to them, Do you see what I have done to you?

13
You give me the name of Master and Lord: and you are right; that is what I am.

14
If then I, the Lord and the Master, have made your feet clean, it is right for you to make one another's feet clean.

15
I have given you an example, so that you may do what I have done to you.

-----

☆ Exodus 12:1-8, 11-14

1
And the Lord said to Moses and Aaron in the land of Egypt,

2
Let this month be to you the first of months, the first month of the year.

3
Say to all the children of Israel when they are come together, In the tenth day of this month every man is to take a lamb, by the number of their fathers' families, a lamb for every family:

4
And if the lamb is more than enough for the family, let that family and its nearest neighbour have a lamb between them, taking into account the number of persons and how much food is needed for every man.

5
Let your lamb be without a mark, a male in its first year: you may take it from among the sheep or the goats:

6
Keep it till the fourteenth day of the same month, when everyone who is of the children of Israel is to put it to death between sundown and dark.

7
Then take some of the blood and put it on the two sides of the door and over the door of the house where the meal is to be taken.

8
And let your food that night be the flesh of the lamb, cooked with fire in the oven, together with unleavened bread and bitter-tasting plants.

11
And take your meal dressed as if for a journey, with your shoes on your feet and your sticks in your hands: take it quickly: it is the Lord's Passover.

12
For on that night I will go through the land of Egypt, sending death on every first male child, of man and of beast, and judging all the gods of Egypt: I am the Lord.

13
And the blood will be a sign on the houses where you are: when I see the blood I will go over you, and no evil will come on you for your destruction, when my hand is on the land of Egypt.

14
And this day is to be kept in your memories: you are to keep it as a feast to the Lord through all your generations, as an order for ever.

-----

☆ 1 Corinthians 11:23-26

23
For it was handed down to me from the Lord, as I gave it to you, that the Lord Jesus, on the night when Judas was false to him, took bread,

24
And when it had been broken with an act of praise, he said, This is my body which is for you: do this in memory of me.

25
In the same way, with the cup, after the meal, he said, This cup is the new testament in my blood: do this, whenever you take it, in memory of me.

26
For whenever you take the bread and the cup you give witness to the Lord's death till he comes.

Wednesday of Holy Week

-----

☆ Gospel: Matthew 26:14-25

14
Then one of the twelve, who was named Judas Iscariot, went to the chief priests and said,

15
What will you give me, if I give him up to you? And the price was fixed at thirty bits of silver.

16
And from that time he was watching for a chance to give him into their hands.

17
Now on the first day of unleavened bread the disciples came to Jesus, saying, Where are we to make ready for you to take the Passover meal?

18
And he said to them, Go into the town to such a man, and say to him, The Master says, My time is near: I will keep the Passover at your house with my disciples.

19
And the disciples did as Jesus had said to them; and they made ready the Passover.

20
Now when evening was come, he was seated at table with the twelve disciples;

21
And while they were taking food, he said, Truly I say to you that one of you will be false to me.

22
And they were very said, and said to him, one by one, Is it I, Lord?

23
And he made answer and said, He who puts his hand into the plate with me, the same will be false to me.

24
The Son of man goes, even as the Writings say of him: but a curse is on that man through whom the Son of man is given up; it would have been well for that man if he had never come into the world.

25
And Judas, who was false to him, made answer and said, Is it I, Master? He says to him, Yes.

-----

☆ Isaiah 50:4-9a

4
The Lord God has given me the tongue of those who are experienced, so that I may be able to give the word a special sense for the feeble: every morning my ear is open to his teaching, like those who are experienced:

5
And I have not put myself against him, or let my heart be turned back from him.

6
I was offering my back to those who gave me blows, and my face to those who were pulling out my hair: I did not keep my face covered from marks of shame.

7
For the Lord God is my helper; I will not be put to shame: so I have made my face like a rock, and I am certain that he will give me my right.

8
He who takes up my cause is near; who will go to law with me? let us come together before the judge: who is against me? let him come near to me.

9a
See, the Lord God is my helper; who will give a decision against me?

Tuesday of Holy Week

☆ Gospel: John 13:21-33, 36-38

21
When Jesus had said this he was troubled in spirit, and gave witness, saying, Truly I say to you, that one of you will be false to me.

22
Then the eyes of the disciples were turned on one another, in doubt as to whom he had in mind.

23
There was at table one of his disciples, the one dear to Jesus, resting his head on Jesus' breast.

24
Making a sign to him, Simon Peter said, Who is it he is talking about?

25
He, then, resting his head on Jesus' breast, said to him, Lord, who is it?

26
This was the answer Jesus gave: It is the one to whom I will give this bit of bread after I have put it in the vessel. Then he took the bit of bread, put it into the vessel, and gave it to Judas, the son of Simon Iscariot.

27
And when Judas took the bread Satan went into him. Then Jesus said to him, Do quickly what you have to do.

28
Now it was not clear to anyone at table why he said this to him.

29
Some were of the opinion that because Judas kept the money-bag Jesus said to him, Get the things we have need of for the feast; or, that he was to give something to the poor.

30
So Judas, having taken the bit of bread, straight away went out: and it was night.

31
Then when he had gone out, Jesus said, Now is glory given to the Son of man, and God is given glory in him.

32
If God is given glory in him, God will give him glory in himself, and will give him glory even now.

33
My dear children, I am only to be with you a little longer. Then you will be looking for me: and as I said to the Jews, so now I say to you, Where I am going you may not come.

36
Simon Peter said to him, Lord, where are you going? Jesus said in answer, Where I am going you may not come with me now, but you will come later.

37
Peter said to him, Why may I not come with you even now? I will give up my life for you.

38
Jesus said in answer, Will you give up your life for me? Truly I say to you, Before the cry of the cock you will have said three times that you are not my disciple.

-----

☆ Isaiah 49:1-6

1
Give ear, O sea-lands, to me; and take note, you peoples from far: I have been marked out by the Lord from the first; when I was still in my mother's body, he had my name in mind:

2
And he has made my mouth like a sharp sword, in the shade of his hand he has kept me; and he has made me like a polished arrow, keeping me in his secret place;

3
And he said to me, You are my servant, Israel, in whom my glory will be seen;

4
And I said, I have undergone weariness for nothing, I have given my strength for no purpose or profit: but still the Lord will take up my cause, and my God will give me my reward.

5
And now, says the Lord, who made me his servant when I was still in my mother's body, so that I might make Jacob come back to him, and so that Israel might come together to him: and I was honoured in the eyes of the Lord, and my God became my strength.

6
It is not enough for one who is my servant to put the tribes of Jacob again in their place, and to get back those of Israel who have been sent away: my purpose is to give you as a light to the nations, so that you may be my salvation to the end of the earth.

Monday of Holy Week

-----

☆ Gospel: John 12:1-11

1
Then, six days before the Passover, Jesus came to Bethany where Lazarus was, whom Jesus had made to come back from the dead.

2
So they made him a meal there, and he was waited on by Martha, and Lazarus was among those who were seated with him at table.

3
Then Mary, taking a pound of perfumed oil of great value, put it on the feet of Jesus and made them dry with her hair: and the house became full of the smell of the perfume.

4
But one of his disciples, Judas Iscariot (who was to give him up), said,

5
Why was not this perfume traded for three hundred pence, and the money given to the poor?

6
(He said this, not because he had any love for the poor; but because he was a thief, and, having the money-bag, took for himself what was put into it.)

7
Then Jesus said, Let her be. Let her keep what she has for the day of my death.

8
The poor you have ever with you, but me you have not for ever.

9
Then a great number of the Jews had news that he was there: and they came, not only because of Jesus, but so that they might see Lazarus who had been dead and to whom he had given life.

10
Now there was talk among the chief priests of putting Lazarus to death;

11
For because of him a great number of the Jews went away and had belief in Jesus.

-----

☆ Isaiah 42:1-7

1
See my servant, whom I am supporting, my loved one, in whom I take delight: I have put my spirit on him; he will give the knowledge of the true God to the nations.

2
He will make no cry, his voice will not be loud: his words will not come to men's ears in the streets.

3
He will not let a crushed stem be quite broken, and he will not let a feebly burning light be put out: he will go on sending out the true word to the peoples.

4
His light will not be put out, and he will not be crushed, till he has given the knowledge of the true God to the earth, and the sea-lands will be waiting for his teaching.

5
God the Lord, even he who made the heavens, measuring them out on high; stretching out the earth, and giving its produce; he who gives breath to the people on it, and life to those who go about on it, says:

6
I the Lord have made you the vessel of my purpose, I have taken you by the hand, and kept you safe, and I have given you to be an agreement to the people, and a light to the nations:

7
To give eyes to the blind, to make free the prisoners from the prison, to let out those who are shut up in the dark.

Palm Sunday of the Lord's Passion

-----

☆ Gospel: Matthew 27:11-54

11
And Jesus was before the ruler, who put a question to him, Are you the King of the Jews? And Jesus said to him, You say so.

12
But when the chief priests and those in authority made statements against him, he gave no answer.

13
Then says Pilate to him, Do you give no attention to what their witnesses say against you?

14
And he gave him no answer, not even a word: so that the ruler was greatly surprised.

15
Now at the feast it was the way for the ruler to let free to the people one prisoner, at their selection.

16
And they had then an important prisoner, whose name was Barabbas.

17
So when they came together, Pilate said to them, Whom will you have? Barabbas, or Jesus, who is named Christ?

18
For he saw that for envy they had given him up.

19
And while he was on the judge's seat, his wife sent to him, saying, Have nothing to do with that upright man, for I have had much trouble this day in a dream because of him.

20
Now the chief priests and those in authority got the people to make request for Barabbas, and for Jesus to be put to death.

21
But the ruler made answer and said to them, Which of the two is it your pleasure that I let go free? And they said, Barabbas.

22
Pilate says to them, What, then, am I to do with Jesus, who is named Christ? They all say, Let him be put to death on the cross.

23
And he said, Why, what evil has he done? But they gave loud cries, saying, To the cross with him!

24
So when Pilate saw that he was able to do nothing, but that trouble was working up, he took water and, washing his hands before the people, said, The blood of this upright man is not on my hands: you are responsible.

25
And all the people made answer and said, Let his blood be on us, and on our children.

26
Then he let Barabbas go free: but after having Jesus whipped, he gave him up to be put to death on the cross.

27
Then the ruler's armed men took Jesus into the open square, and got all their band together.

28
And they took off his clothing, and put on him a red robe.

29
And they made a crown of thorns and put it on his head, and put a rod in his right hand, and they went down on their knees before him, and made sport of him, saying, Long life to the King of the Jews.

30
And they put shame on him, and gave him blows on the head with the rod.

31
And when they had made sport of him, they took the robe off him, and put his clothing on him, and took him away to put him on the cross.

32
And while they were coming out, they saw a man of Cyrene, Simon by name, and they made him go with them, so that he might take up his cross.

33
And when they came to the place named Golgotha, that is to say, Dead Man's Head,

34
They gave him wine mixed with bitter drink: and after tasting it, he took no more.

35
And when they had put him on the cross, they made division of his clothing among them by the decision of chance.

36
And they were seated there watching him.

37
And they put up over his head the statement of his crime in writing, THIS IS JESUS THE KING OF THE JEWS.

38
Then two thieves were put on crosses with him, one on the right and one on the left.

39
And those who went by said bitter words to him, shaking their heads and saying,

40
You who would give the Temple to destruction and put it up again in three days, get yourself free: if you are the Son of God, come down from the cross.

41
In the same way, the chief priests, making sport of him, with the scribes and those in authority, said,

42
A saviour of others, he has no salvation for himself. If he is the King of Israel, let him now come down from the cross, and we will have faith in him.

43
He put his faith in God; let God be his saviour now, if he will have him; for he said, I am the Son of God.

44
And the thieves who were on the crosses said evil words to him.

45
Now from the sixth hour it was dark over all the land till the ninth hour.

46
And about the ninth hour Jesus gave a loud cry, saying, Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani? that is, My God, my God, why are you turned away from me?

47
And some of those who were near by, hearing it, said, This man is crying to Elijah.

48
And straight away one of them went quickly, and took a sponge, and made it full of bitter wine, and put it on a rod and gave him drink.

49
And the rest said, Let him be; let us see if Elijah will come to his help.

50
And Jesus gave another loud cry, and gave up his spirit.

51
And the curtain of the Temple was parted in two from end to end; and there was an earth-shock; and the rocks were broken;

52
And the resting-places of the dead came open; and the bodies of a number of sleeping saints came to life;

53
And coming out of their resting-places, after he had come again from the dead, they went into the holy town and were seen by a number of people.

54
Now the captain and those who were with him watching Jesus, when they saw the earth-shock and the things which were done, were in great fear and said, Truly this was a son of God.

At the Procession with Palms - Gospel

☆ Matthew 21:1-11

1
And when they were near Jerusalem, and had come to Beth-phage, to the Mountain of Olives, Jesus sent two disciples,

2
Saying to them, Go into the little town in front of you, and straight away you will see an ass with a cord round her neck, and a young one with her; let them loose and come with them to me.

3
And if anyone says anything to you, you will say, The Lord has need of them; and straight away he will send them.

4
Now this took place so that these words of the prophet might come true,

5
Say to the daughter of Zion, See, your King comes to you, gentle and seated on an ass, and on a young ass.

6
And the disciples went and did as Jesus had given them orders,

7
And got the ass and the young one, and put their clothing on them, and he took his seat on it.

8
And all the people put their clothing down in the way; and others got branches from the trees, and put them down in the way.

9
And those who went before him, and those who came after, gave loud cries, saying, Glory to the Son of David: A blessing on him who comes in the name of the Lord: Glory in the highest.

10
And when he came into Jerusalem, all the town was moved, saying, Who is this?

11
And the people said, This is the prophet Jesus, from Nazareth of Galilee.

-----

☆ Philippians 2:6-11

6
To whom, though himself in the form of God, it did not seem that to take for oneself was to be like God;

7
But he made himself as nothing, taking the form of a servant, being made like men;

8
And being seen in form as a man, he took the lowest place, and let himself be put to death, even the death of the cross.

9
For this reason God has put him in the highest place and has given to him the name which is greater than every name;

10
So that at the name of Jesus every knee may be bent, of those in heaven and those on earth and those in the underworld,

11
And that every tongue may give witness that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

☆ Gospel: John 11:45-56

45
Then a number of the Jews who had come to Mary and had seen the things which Jesus did had belief in him.

46
But some of them went to the Pharisees with the news of what Jesus had done.

47
Then the high priests and the Pharisees had a meeting and said, What are we doing? This man is doing a number of signs.

48
If we let him go on in this way, everybody will have belief in him and the Romans will come and take away our place and our nation.

49
But one of them, Caiaphas, who was high priest that year, said to them, You have no knowledge of anything;

50
You do not see that it is in your interest for one man to be put to death for the people, so that all the nation may not come to destruction.

51
He did not say this of himself, but being the high priest that year he said, as a prophet, that Jesus would be put to death for the nation;

52
And not for that nation only, but for the purpose of uniting in one body the children of God all over the world.

53
And from that day they took thought together how to put him to death.

54
So Jesus no longer went about publicly among the Jews, but went from there into the country near to the waste land, to a town named Ephraim, where he was for some time with the disciples.

55
Now the Passover of the Jews was near, and numbers of people went up from the country to Jerusalem to make themselves clean before the Passover.

56
They were looking for Jesus and saying to one another while they were in the Temple, What is your opinion? Will he not come to the feast?

☆ Ezekiel 37:21-28

21
And say to them, These are the words of the Lord: See, I am taking the children of Israel from among the nations where they have gone, and will get them together on every side, and take them into their land:

22
And I will make them one nation in the land, on the mountains of Israel; and one king will be king over them all: and they will no longer be two nations, and will no longer be parted into two kingdoms:

23
And they will no longer make themselves unclean with their images or with their hated things or with any of their sins: but I will give them salvation from all their turning away in which they have done evil, and will make them clean; and they will be to me a people, and I will be to them a God.

24
And my servant David will be king over them; and they will all have one keeper: and they will be guided by my orders and will keep my rules and do them.

25
And they will be living in the land which I gave to Jacob, my servant, in which your fathers were living; and they will go on living there, they and their children and their children's children, for ever: and David, my servant, will be their ruler for ever.

26
And I will make an agreement of peace with them: it will be an eternal agreement with them: and I will have mercy on them and make their numbers great, and will put my holy place among them for ever.

27
And my House will be over them; and I will be to them a God, and they will be to me a people.

28
And the nations will be certain that I who make Israel holy am the Lord, when my holy place is among them for ever.

Today's Bible story ☆

　March 27, 2026

Have a good day!

-----

Friday of the Fifth Week of Lent

-----

☆ Gospel: John 10:31-42

31
Then the Jews took up stones again to send at him.

32
Jesus said to them in answer, I have let you see a number of good works from the Father; for which of those works are you stoning me?

33
This was their answer: We are not stoning you for a good work but for evil words; because being a man you make yourself God.

34
In answer, Jesus said, Is there not a saying in your law, I said, You are gods?

35
If he said they were gods, to whom the word of God came (and the Writings may not be broken),

36
Do you say of him whom the Father made holy and sent into the world, Your words are evil; because I said, I am God's Son?

37
If I am not doing the works of my Father, do not have belief in me;

38
But if I am doing them, then have belief in the works even if you have no belief in me; so that you may see clearly and be certain that the Father is in me and I am in the Father.

39
Then again they made an attempt to take him; but he got away from them.

40
And he went again to the other side of the Jordan, to the place where John first gave baptism; and he was there for a time.

41
And a great number of people came to him, saying, John did no sign: but everything John said of this man was true.

42
And a number came to have faith in him there.

-----

☆ Jeremiah 20:10-13

10
For numbers of them say evil secretly in my hearing (there is fear on every side): they say, Come, let us give witness against him; all my nearest friends, who are watching for my fall, say, It may be that he will be taken by deceit, and we will get the better of him and give him punishment.

11
But the Lord is with me as a great one, greatly to be feared: so my attackers will have a fall, and they will not overcome me: they will be greatly shamed, because they have not done wisely, even with an unending shame, kept in memory for ever.

12
But, O Lord of armies, testing the upright and seeing the thoughts and the heart, let me see your punishment come on them; for I have put my cause before you.

13
Make melody to the Lord, give praise to the Lord: for he has made the soul of the poor man free from the hands of the evil-doers.

Thursday of the Fifth Week of Lent

-----

☆ Gospel: John 8:51-59

51
Truly I say to you, If a man keeps my word he will never see death.

52
The Jews said to him, Now we are certain that you have an evil spirit. Abraham is dead, and the prophets are dead; and you say, If a man keeps my word he will never see death.

53
Are you greater than our father Abraham, who is dead? and the prophets are dead: who do you say that you are?

54
Jesus said in answer, If I take glory for myself, my glory is nothing: it is my Father who gives me glory, of whom you say that he is your God.

55
You have no knowledge of him, but I have knowledge of him; and if I said I have no knowledge of him I would be talking falsely like you: but I have full knowledge of him, and I keep his word.

56
Your father Abraham was full of joy at the hope of seeing my day: he saw it and was glad.

57
Then the Jews said to him, You are not fifty years old; have you seen Abraham?

58
Jesus said to them, Truly I say to you, Before Abraham came into being, I am.

59
So they took up stones to send at him: but Jesus got secretly out of their way and went out of the Temple.

-----

☆ Genesis 17:3-9

3
And Abram went down on his face on the earth, and the Lord God went on talking with him, and said,

4
As for me, my agreement is made with you, and you will be the father of nations without end.

5
No longer will your name be Abram, but Abraham, for I have made you the father of a number of nations.

6
I will make you very fertile, so that nations will come from you and kings will be your offspring.

7
And I will make between me and you and your seed after you through all generations, an eternal agreement to be a God to you and to your seed after you.

8
And to you and to your seed after you, I will give the land in which you are living, all the land of Canaan for an eternal heritage; and I will be their God.

9
And God said to Abraham, On your side, you are to keep the agreement, you and your seed after you through all generations.

Solemnity of the Annunciation of the Lord

-----

☆ Gospel: Luke 1:26-38

26
Now in the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent from God to a town in Galilee, named Nazareth,

27
To a virgin who was to be married to a man named Joseph, of the family of David; and the name of the virgin was Mary.

28
And the angel came in to her and said, Peace be with you, to whom special grace has been given; the Lord is with you.

29
But she was greatly troubled at his words, and said to herself, What may be the purpose of these words?

30
And the angel said to her, Have no fear, Mary, for you have God's approval.

31
And see, you will give birth to a son, and his name will be Jesus.

32
He will be great, and will be named the Son of the Most High: and the Lord God will give him the kingdom of David, his father:

33
He will have rule over the house of Jacob for ever, and of his kingdom there will be no end.

34
And Mary said to the angel, How may this be, because I have had no knowledge of a man?

35
And the angel in answer said to her, The Holy Spirit will come on you, and the power of the Most High will come to rest on you, and so that which will come to birth will be named holy, Son of God.

36
Even now Elisabeth, who is of your family, is to be a mother, though she is old: and this is the sixth month with her who was without children.

37
For there is nothing which God is not able to do.

38
And Mary said: I am the servant of the Lord; may it be to me as you say. And the angel went away.

-----

☆ Isaiah 7:10-14; 8:10

7:10
And Isaiah said again to Ahaz,

11
Make a request to the Lord your God for a sign, a sign in the deep places of the underworld, or in the high heavens.

12
But Ahaz said, I will not put the Lord to the test by making such a request.

13
And he said, Give ear now, O family of David: is it not enough that you are driving men to disgust? will you do the same to my God?

14
For this cause the Lord himself will give you a sign; a young woman is now with child, and she will give birth to a son, and she will give him the name Immanuel.

8:10
Let your designs be formed, and they will come to nothing; give your orders, and they will not be effected: for God is with us.

-----

☆ Hebrews 10:4-10

4
Because it is not possible for the blood of oxen and goats to take away sins.

5
So that when he comes into the world, he says, You had no desire for offerings, but you made a body ready for me;

6
You had no joy in burned offerings or in offerings for sin.

7
Then I said, See, I have come to do your pleasure, O God (as it is said of me in the roll of the book).

8
After saying, You had no desire for offerings, for burned offerings or offerings for sin (which are made by the law) and you had no pleasure in them,

9
Then he said, See, I have come to do your pleasure. He took away the old order, so that he might put the new order in its place.

10
By that pleasure we have been made holy, by the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once and for ever.

Tuesday of the Fifth Week of Lent

-----

☆ Gospel: John 8:21-30

21
Then he said to them again, I am going away and you will be looking for me, but death will overtake you in your sins. It is not possible for you to come where I am going.

22
So the Jews said, Will he take his life? Is that why he says, Where I go it is not possible for you to come?

23
And he said to them, You are of the earth; I am from heaven: you are of this world; I am not of this world.

24
For this reason I said to you that death will overtake you in your sins: for if you have not faith that I am he, death will come to you while you are in your sins.

25
Then they said to him, Who are you? Jesus said, What I said to you from the first.

26
I have much to say about you and against you: but he who sent me is true and what he has said to me I say to the world.

27
They did not see that his words were about the Father.

28
So Jesus said, When the Son of man has been lifted up by you, then it will be clear to you who I am, and that I do nothing of myself, but say as the Father gave me teaching.

29
He who sent me is with me; he has not gone from me, because at all times I do the things which are pleasing to him.

30
When he said this a number came to have faith in him.

-----

☆ Numbers 21:4-9

4
Then they went on from Mount Hor by the way to the Red Sea, going round the land of Edom: and the spirit of the people was overcome with weariness on the way.

5
And crying out against God and against Moses, they said, Why have you taken us out of Egypt to come to our death in the waste land? For there is no bread and no water, and this poor bread is disgusting to us.

6
Then the Lord sent poison-snakes among the people; and their bites were a cause of death to numbers of the people of Israel.

7
Then the people came to Moses and said, We have done wrong in crying out against the Lord and against you: make prayer to the Lord to take away the snakes from us. So Moses made prayer for the people.

8
And the Lord said to Moses, Make an image of a snake and put it on a rod, and anyone who has been wounded by the snakes, looking on it will be made well.

9
So Moses made a snake of brass and put it on a rod; and anyone who had a snakebite, after looking on the snake of brass, was made well.

Monday of the Fifth Week of Lent

-----

☆ Gospel: John 8:1-11

1
But Jesus went to the Mountain of Olives.

2
And early in the morning he came again into the Temple and all the people came to him and he was seated teaching them.

3
Now the scribes and Pharisees came, with a woman who had been taken in the act of sinning against the married relation;

4
And putting her forward, they said to him, Master, this woman has been taken in the very act of sinning against the married relation.

5
Now in the law Moses gave directions that such women were to be stoned; what do you say about it?

6
They said this, testing him, so that they might have something against him. But Jesus, with his head bent down, made letters on the floor with his finger.

7
But when they went on with their questions, he got up and said to them, Let him among you who is without sin be the first to send a stone at her.

8
And again, with bent head, he made letters on the floor.

9
And when his words came to their ears, they went out one by one, starting with the oldest even to the last, because they were conscious of what was in their hearts: and Jesus was there by himself with the woman before him.

10
Then Jesus got up, and seeing nobody but the woman, he said to her, Where are the men who said things against you? did no one give a decision against you?

11
And she said, No man, Lord. And Jesus said, And I do not give a decision against you: go, and never do wrong again.]

-----

☆ Daniel 13:1-9, 15-17, 19-30, 33-62 **

1
In Babylon there lived a man named Joakim,

2
who married a very beautiful and God-fearing woman, Susanna, the daughter of Hilkiah;

3
her parents were righteous and had trained their daughter according to the law of Moses.

4
Joakim was very rich and he had a garden near his house. The Jews had recourse to him often because he was the most respected of them all.

5
That year, two elders of the people were appointed judges, of whom the Lord said, "Lawlessness has come out of Babylon, that is, from the elders who were to govern the people as judges."

6
These men, to whom all brought their cases, frequented the house of Joakim.

7
When the people left at noon, Susanna used to enter her husband's garden for a walk.

8
When the elders saw her enter every day for her walk, they began to lust for her.

9
They perverted their thinking; they would not allow their eyes to look to heaven, and did not keep in mind just judgments.

15
One day, while they were waiting for the right moment, she entered as usual, with two maids only, wanting to bathe in the garden, for the weather was warm.

16
Nobody else was there except the two elders, who had hidden themselves and were watching her.

17
"Bring me oil and soap," she said to the maids, "and shut the garden gates while I bathe."

19
As soon as the maids had left, the two old men got up and ran to her.

20
"Look," they said, "the garden doors are shut, no one can see us, and we want you. So give in to our desire, and lie with us.

21
If you refuse, we will testify against you that a young man was here with you and that is why you sent your maids away."

22
"I am completely trapped," Susanna groaned. "If I yield, it will be my death; if I refuse, I cannot escape your power.

23
Yet it is better for me not to do it and to fall into your power than to sin before the Lord."

24
Then Susanna screamed, and the two old men also shouted at her,

25
as one of them ran to open the garden gates.

26
When the people in the house heard the cries from the garden, they rushed in by the side gate to see what had happened to her.

27
At the accusations of the old men, the servants felt very much ashamed, for never had any such thing been said about Susanna.

28
When the people came to her husband Joakim the next day, the two wicked old men also came, full of lawless intent to put Susanna to death.

29
Before the people they ordered: "Send for Susanna, the daughter of Hilkiah, the wife of Joakim." When she was sent for,

30
she came with her parents, children and all her relatives.

33
All her companions and the onlookers were weeping.

34
In the midst of the people the two old men rose up and laid their hands on her head.

35
As she wept she looked up to heaven, for she trusted in the Lord wholeheartedly.

36
The old men said, "As we were walking in the garden alone, this woman entered with two servant girls, shut the garden gates and sent the servant girls away.

37
A young man, who was hidden there, came and lay with her.

38
When we, in a corner of the garden, saw this lawlessness, we ran toward them.

39
We saw them lying together, but the man we could not hold, because he was stronger than we; he opened the gates and ran off.

40
Then we seized this one and asked who the young man was,

41
but she refused to tell us. We testify to this." The assembly believed them, since they were elders and judges of the people, and they condemned her to death.

42
But Susanna cried aloud: "Eternal God, you know what is hidden and are aware of all things before they come to be:

43
you know that they have testified falsely against me. Here I am about to die, though I have done none of the things for which these men have condemned me."

44
The Lord heard her prayer.

45
As she was being led to execution, God stirred up the holy spirit of a young boy named Daniel,

46
and he cried aloud: "I am innocent of this woman's blood."

47
All the people turned and asked him, "What are you saying?"

48
He stood in their midst and said, "Are you such fools, you Israelites, to condemn a daughter of Israel without investigation and without clear evidence?

49
Return to court, for they have testified falsely against her."

50
Then all the people returned in haste. To Daniel the elders said, "Come, sit with us and inform us, since God has given you the prestige of old age."

51
But he replied, "Separate these two far from one another, and I will examine them."

52
After they were separated from each other, he called one of them and said: "How you have grown evil with age! Now have your past sins come to term:

53
passing unjust sentences, condemning the innocent, and freeing the guilty,a although the Lord says, 'The innocent and the just you shall not put to death.'

54
Now, then, if you were a witness, tell me under what tree you saw them together."

55
"Under a mastic tree," he answered. "Your fine lie has cost you your head," said Daniel; "for the angel of God has already received the sentence from God and shall split you in two."

56
Putting him to one side, he ordered the other one to be brought. "Offspring of Canaan, not of Judah," Daniel said to him, "beauty has seduced you, lust has perverted your heart.

57
This is how you acted with the daughters of Israel, and in their fear they yielded to you; but a daughter of Judah did not tolerate your lawlessness.

58
Now, then, tell me under what tree you surprised them together."

59
"Under an oak," he said. "Your fine lie has cost you also your head," said Daniel; "for the angel of God waits with a sword to cut you in two so as to destroy you both."

60
The whole assembly cried aloud, blessing God who saves those who hope in him.

61
They rose up against the two old men, for by their own words Daniel had convicted them of bearing false witness.b They condemned them to the fate they had planned for their neighbor:

62
in accordance with the law of Moses they put them to death. Thus was innocent blood spared that day.

**Daniel 13:1-9, 15-17, 19-30, 33-62

Have a good day!

Fifth Sunday of Lent

-----

☆ Gospel: John 11:1-45

1
Now a certain man named Lazarus was ill; he was of Bethany, the town of Mary and her sister Martha.

2
(The Mary whose brother Lazarus was ill, was the Mary who put perfumed oil on the Lord and made his feet dry with her hair.)

3
So the sisters sent to him, saying, Lord, your dear friend is ill.

4
When this came to his ears, Jesus said, The end of this disease is not death, but the glory of God, so that the Son of God may have glory because of it.

5
Now Jesus had love in his heart for Martha and her sister and Lazarus.

6
So when the news came to him that Lazarus was ill, he did not go from the place where he was for two days.

7
Then after that time he said to his disciples, Let us go into Judaea again.

8
The disciples said to him, Master, the Jews were attempting only the other day to have you stoned, and are you going back there again?

9
Then Jesus said in answer, Are there not twelve hours in the day? A man may go about in the day without falling, because he sees the light of this world.

10
But if a man goes about in the night, he may have a fall because the light is not in him.

11
These things said he: and after that he said to them, Lazarus our friend is at rest; but I go so that I may make him come out of his sleep.

12
Then his disciples said to him, Lord, if he is resting he will get well.

13
Jesus, however, was talking of his death: but they had the idea that he was talking about taking rest in sleep.

14
Then Jesus said to them clearly, Lazarus is dead.

15
And because of you I am glad I was not there, so that you may have faith; but let us go to him.

16
Then Thomas, who was named Didymus, said to the other disciples, Let us go so that we may be with him in death.

17
Now when Jesus came, he made the discovery that Lazarus had been put into the earth four days before.

18
Now Bethany was near to Jerusalem, about two miles away;

19
And a number of Jews had come to Martha and Mary to give them comfort about their brother.

20
When Martha had the news that Jesus was on the way, she went out to him, but Mary did not go from the house.

21
Then Martha said to Jesus, Lord, if you had been here my brother would not be dead.

22
But I am certain that, even now, whatever request you make to God, God will give it to you.

23
Jesus said to her, Your brother will come to life again.

24
Martha said to him, I am certain that he will come to life again when all come back from the dead at the last day.

25
Jesus said to her, I am myself that day and that life; he who has faith in me will have life even if he is dead;

26
And no one who is living and has faith in me will ever see death. Is this your faith?

27
She said to him, Yes, Lord: my faith is that you are the Christ, the Son of God, who was to come into the world.

28
And having said this, she went away and said secretly to her sister Mary, The Master is here and has sent for you.

29
And Mary, hearing this, got up quickly and went to him.

30
Now Jesus had not at this time come into the town, but was still in the place where Martha had seen him.

31
Then the Jews who were with her in the house, comforting her, when they saw Mary get up quickly and go out, went after her in the belief that she was going to the place of the dead and would be weeping there.

32
When Mary came to where Jesus was and saw him, she went down at his feet, saying, Lord, if you had been here my brother would not be dead.

33
And when Jesus saw her weeping, and saw the Jews weeping who came with her, his spirit was moved and he was troubled,

34
And said, Where have you put him? They said, Come and see, Lord.

35
And Jesus himself was weeping.

36
So the Jews said, See how dear he was to him!

37
But some of them said, This man, who made open the eyes of the blind man, was he not able to keep his friend from death?

38
So Jesus, deeply troubled in heart, came to the place of the dead. It was a hole in the rock, and a stone was over the opening.

39
Jesus said, Take away the stone. Martha, the sister of him who was dead, said, Lord, by this time the body will be smelling, for he has been dead four days.

40
Jesus said to her, Did I not say to you that if you had faith you would see the glory of God?

41
So they took away the stone. And Jesus, looking up to heaven, said, Father, I give praise to you for hearing me.

42
I was certain that your ears are at all times open to me, but I said it because of these who are here, so that they may see that you sent me.

43
Then he said in a loud voice, Lazarus, come out!

44
And he who was dead came out, with linen bands folded tightly about his hands and feet, and a cloth about his face. Jesus said to them, Make him free and let him go.

45
Then a number of the Jews who had come to Mary and had seen the things which Jesus did had belief in him.

-----

☆ Ezekiel 37:12-14

12
For this cause be a prophet to them, and say, This is what the Lord has said: See, I am opening the resting-places of your dead, and I will make you come up out of your resting-places, O my people; and I will take you into the land of Israel.

13
And you will be certain that I am the Lord by my opening the resting-places of your dead and making you come up out of your resting-places, O my people.

14
And I will put my spirit in you, so that you may come to life, and I will give you a rest in your land: and you will be certain that I the Lord have said it and have done it, says the Lord.

-----

☆ Romans 8:8-11

8
So that those who are in the flesh are not able to give pleasure to God.

9 You are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if the Spirit of God is in you. But if any man has not the Spirit of Christ he is not one of his.

10 And if Christ is in you, the body is dead because of sin, but the Spirit is life because of righteousness.

11 But if the Spirit of him who made Jesus come again from the dead is in you, he who made Christ Jesus come again from the dead will in the same way, through his Spirit which is in you, give life to your bodies which now are under the power of death.

☆ Gospel: John 7:40-53

40
When these words came to their ears, some of the people said, This is certainly the prophet.

41
Others said, This is the Christ. But others said, Not so; will the Christ come from Galilee?

42
Do not the Writings say that the Christ comes of the seed of David and from Beth-lehem, the little town where David was?

43
So there was a division among the people because of him.

44
And some of them had a desire to take him; but no man put hands on him.

45
Then the servants went back to the chief priests and Pharisees, who said to them, Why have you not got him with you?

46
The servants made answer, No man ever said things like this man.

47
Then the Pharisees said to them, Have you, like the others, been given false ideas?

48
Have any of the rulers belief in him, or any one of the Pharisees?

49
But these people who have no knowledge of the law are cursed.

50
Nicodemus--he who had come to Jesus before, being himself one of them--said to them,

51
Is a man judged by our law before it has given him a hearing and has knowledge of what he has done?

52
This was their answer: And do you come from Galilee? Make search and you will see that no prophet comes out of Galilee.

☆ Jeremiah 11:18-20

18
And the Lord gave me knowledge of it and I saw it: then you made clear to me their doings.

19
But I was like a gentle lamb taken to be put to death; I had no thought that they were designing evil against me, saying, Come and let us make trouble his food, cutting him off from the land of the living, so that there may be no more memory of his name.

20
But, O Lord of armies, judging in righteousness, testing the thoughts and the heart, let me see your punishment come on them: for I have put my cause before you.

☆ Gospel: John 7:1-2, 10, 25-30

1
After this, Jesus went from place to place in Galilee. He did not go about in Judaea, because the Jews were looking for a chance to put him to death.

2
But the feast of the Jews, the feast of tents, was near.

10
But after his brothers had gone up to the feast, then he went up, not publicly, but in secret.

25
Then some of the people of Jerusalem said, Is not this the man whose death is desired?

26
And here he is talking openly and they say nothing to him! Is it possible that the rulers have knowledge that this is truly the Christ?

27
However, it is clear to us where this man comes from: but when the Christ comes no one will have knowledge where he comes from.

28
Then, when he was teaching in the Temple, Jesus said with a loud voice, You have knowledge of me and you have knowledge of where I come from; and I have not come of myself; but there is One who has sent me; he is true, but you have no knowledge of him.

29
I have knowledge of him because I came from him and he sent me.

30
Then they had a desire to take him: but no man put hands on him because his hour was still to come.

☆ Wisdom 2:1a, 12-22 **

1a
For, not thinking rightly, they said among themselves:*

"Brief and troubled is our lifetime;

12
Let us lie in wait for the righteous one, because he is annoying to us;he opposes our actions,

Reproaches us for transgressions of the law
and charges us with violations of our training.

13
He professes to have knowledge of God
and styles himself a child of the LORD.h

14
To us he is the censure of our thoughts;
merely to see him is a hardship for us,

15
Because his life is not like that of others,
and different are his ways.

16
He judges us debased;
he holds aloof from our paths as from things impure.
He calls blest the destiny of the righteous
and boasts that God is his Father.

17
Let us see whether his words be true;
let us find out what will happen to him in the end.

18
For if the righteous one is the son of God, God will help him
and deliver him from the hand of his foes.

19
With violence and torture let us put him to the test
that we may have proof of his gentleness
and try his patience.

20
Let us condemn him to a shameful death;
for according to his own words, God will take care of him."

21
These were their thoughts, but they erred;
for their wickedness blinded them,

22
And they did not know the hidden counsels of God;
neither did they count on a recompense for holiness
nor discern the innocent souls' reward.
