READING:
Galatians 2:
1 - 2, 7 - 14
1
Then, after fourteen years, I went up again to Jerusalem with
Barnabas, taking Titus also with me.
2
And I went up according to revelation; and communicated to them the
gospel, which I preach among the Gentiles, but apart to them who
seemed to be some thing: lest perhaps I should run, or had run in
vain.
7
But contrariwise, when they had seen that to me was committed the
gospel of the uncircumcision, as to Peter was that of the
circumcision.
8
(For he who wrought in Peter to the apostleship of the circumcision,
wrought in me also among the Gentiles.)
9
And when they had known the grace that was given to me, James and
Cephas and John, who seemed to be pillars, gave to me and Barnabas
the right hands of fellowship: that we should go unto the Gentiles,
and they unto the circumcision:
10
Only that we should be mindful of the poor: which same thing also I
was careful to do.
11
But when Cephas was come to Antioch, I withstood him to the face,
because he was to be blamed.
12
For before that some came from James, he did eat with the Gentiles:
but when they were come, he withdrew and separated himself, fearing
them who were of the circumcision.
13
And to his dissimulation the rest of the Jews consented, so that
Barnabas also was led by them into that dissimulation.
14
But when I saw that they walked not uprightly unto the truth of the
gospel, I said to Cephas before them all: If thou, being a Jew,
livest after the manner of the Gentiles, and not as the Jews do, how
dost thou compel the Gentiles to live as do the Jews?
PSALM:
Psalms 117:
1 - 2
1
O praise the Lord, all ye nations: praise him, all ye people.
2
For his mercy is confirmed upon us: and the truth of the Lord
remaineth for ever.
GOSPEL:
Luke 11:
1 - 4
1
And it came to pass, that as he was in a certain place praying, when
he ceased, one of his disciples said to him: Lord, teach us to pray,
as John also taught his disciples.
2
And he said to them: When you pray, say: Father, hallowed be thy
name. Thy kingdom come.
3
Give us this day our daily bread.
4
And forgive us our sins, for we also forgive every one that is
indebted to us. And lead us not into temptation.
