"Ordaining of the Twelve Apostles" -- by James Tissot |
FIRST
READING:
Ephesians 2:
19 - 22
19
Now therefore you are no more strangers and foreigners; but you are
fellow citizens with the saints, and the domestics of God,
20
Built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ
himself being the chief corner stone:
21
In whom all the building, being framed together, groweth up into an
holy temple in the Lord.
22
In whom you also are built together into an habitation of God in the
Spirit.
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:
Luke 6:
12 - 16
12
And it came to pass in those days, that he went out into a mountain
to pray, and he passed the whole night in the prayer of God.
13
And when day was come, he called unto him his disciples; and he chose
twelve of them (whom also he named apostles).

John, Philip and Bartholomew,

Zelotes,
