| "The Merchants Chased from the Temple" by James Tissot |
FIRST
READING: Revelation
10: 8 - 11
8
Then the voice which I had heard from heaven spoke to me again,
saying, "Go, take the scroll which is open in the hand of the
angel who is standing on the sea and on the land."
9
So I went to the angel and told him to give me the little scroll; and
he said to me, "Take it and eat; it will be bitter to your
stomach, but sweet as honey in your mouth."
10
And I took the little scroll from the hand of the angel and ate it;
it was sweet as honey in my mouth, but when I had eaten it my stomach
was made bitter.
11
And I was told, "You must again prophesy about many peoples and
nations and tongues and kings."
PSALM:
Psalms 119:
14, 24, 72, 103, 111, 131
14
In the way of thy testimonies I delight as much as in all riches.
24
Thy testimonies are my delight, they are my counselors.
72
The law of thy mouth is better to me than thousands of gold and
silver pieces.
103
How sweet are thy words to my taste, sweeter than honey to my mouth!
111
Thy testimonies are my heritage for ever; yea, they are the joy of my
heart.
131
With open mouth I pant, because I long for thy commandments.
GOSPEL:
Luke 19:
45 - 48
45
And he entered the temple and began to drive out those who sold,
46
saying to them, "It is written, `My house shall be a house of
prayer'; but you have made it a den of robbers."
47
And he was teaching daily in the temple. The chief priests and the
scribes and the principal men of the people sought to destroy him;
48
but they did not find anything they could do, for all the people hung
upon his words.
