| "Address to Saint Philip" -- by James Tissot |
FIRST
READING: 1
Corinthians 15: 1 - 8
1
Now I make known unto you, brethren, the gospel which I preached to
you, which also you have received, and wherein you stand;
2
By which also you are saved, if you hold fast after what manner I
preached unto you, unless you have believed in vain.
3
For I delivered unto you first of all, which I also received: how
that Christ died for our sins, according to the scriptures:
4
And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day,
according to the scriptures:
5
And that he was seen by Cephas; and after that by the eleven.
6
Then he was seen by more than five hundred brethren at once: of whom
many remain until this present, and some are fallen asleep.
7
After that, he was seen by James, then by all the apostles.
8
And last of all, he was seen also by me, as by one born out of due
time.
PSALM:
Psalms 19:
2 - 5
2
The heavens shew forth the glory of God, and the firmament declareth
the work of his hands.
3
Day to day uttereth speech, and night to night sheweth knowledge.
4
There are no speeches nor languages, where their voices are not
heard.
5
Their sound hath gone forth into all the earth: and their words unto
the ends of the world.
GOSPEL:
John 14:
6 - 14
6
Jesus saith to him: I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No man
cometh to the Father, but by me.
7
If you had known me, you would without doubt have known my Father
also: and from henceforth you shall know him, and you have seen him.
8
Philip saith to him: Lord, shew us the Father, and it is enough for
us.
9
Jesus saith to him: Have I been so long a time with you; and have you
not known me? Philip, he that seeth me seeth the Father also. How
sayest thou, shew us the Father?
10
Do you not believe, that I am in the Father, and the Father in me?
The words that I speak to you, I speak not of myself. But the Father
who abideth in me, he doth the works.
11
Believe you not that I am in the Father, and the Father in me?
12
Otherwise believe for the very works' sake. Amen, amen I say to you,
he that believeth in me, the works that I do, he also shall do; and
greater than these shall he do.
13
Because I go to the Father: and whatsoever you shall ask the Father
in my name, that will I do: that the Father may be glorified in the
Son.
14
If you shall ask me any thing in my name, that I will do.
