Sunday Events



Lectionary Theme: Discipleship: With Jesus, on the path of the cross; Day of Apostles St. Paul and St. Peter; Conclusion of Apostles’ Lent (Third Sunday after Pentecost)

  •   

    1. After the death of Moses the servant of the Lord, the Lord spoke to Joshua son of Nun, Moses’ assistant, saying,

    2. “My servant Moses is dead. Now proceed to cross the Jordan, you and all this people, into the land that I am giving to them, to the Israelites.

    3. Every place that the sole of your foot will tread upon I have given to you, as I promised to Moses.

    4. From the wilderness and the Lebanon as far as the great river, the river Euphrates, all the land of the Hittites, to the Great Sea in the west shall be your territory.

    5. No one shall be able to stand against you all the days of your life. As I was with Moses, so I will be with you; I will not fail you or forsake you.

    6. Be strong and courageous; for you shall put this people in possession of the land that I swore to their ancestors to give them.

    7. Only be strong and very courageous, being careful to act in accordance with all the law that my servant Moses commanded you; do not turn from it to the right hand or to the left, so that you may be successful wherever you go.

    8. This book of the law shall not depart out of your mouth; you shall meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to act in accordance with all that is written in it. For then you shall make your way prosperous, and then you shall be successful.

    9. I hereby command you: Be strong and courageous; do not be frightened or dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.” Preparations for the Invasion

    1. Then after fourteen years I went up again to Jerusalem with Barnabas, taking Titus along with me.

    2. I went up in response to a revelation. Then I laid before them (though only in a private meeting with the acknowledged leaders) the gospel that I proclaim among the Gentiles, in order to make sure that I was not running, or had not run, in vain.

    3. But even Titus, who was with me, was not compelled to be circumcised, though he was a Greek.

    4. But because of false believers secretly brought in, who slipped in to spy on the freedom we have in Christ Jesus, so that they might enslave us—

    5. we did not submit to them even for a moment, so that the truth of the gospel might always remain with you.

    6. And from those who were supposed to be acknowledged leaders (what they actually were makes no difference to me; God shows no partiality)—those leaders contributed nothing to me.

    7. On the contrary, when they saw that I had been entrusted with the gospel for the uncircumcised, just as Peter had been entrusted with the gospel for the circumcised

    8. (for he who worked through Peter making him an apostle to the circumcised also worked through me in sending me to the Gentiles),

    9. and when James and Cephas and John, who were acknowledged pillars, recognized the grace that had been given to me, they gave to Barnabas and me the right hand of fellowship, agreeing that we should go to the Gentiles and they to the circumcised.

    10. They asked only one thing, that we remember the poor, which was actually what I was eager to do. Paul Rebukes Peter at Antioch

  •   

    14. Therefore, beloved, while you are waiting for these things, strive to be found by him at peace, without spot or blemish;

    15. and regard the patience of our Lord as salvation. So also our beloved brother Paul wrote to you according to the wisdom given him,

    16. speaking of this as he does in all his letters. There are some things in them hard to understand, which the ignorant and unstable twist to their own destruction, as they do the other scriptures.

    17. You therefore, beloved, since you are forewarned, beware that you are not carried away with the error of the lawless and lose your own stability.

    18. But grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To him be the glory both now and to the day of eternity. Amen.

  •   

    25. But Jesus called them to him and said, “You know that the rulers of the gentiles lord it over them, and their great ones are tyrants over them.

    26. It will not be so among you, but whoever wishes to be great among you must be your servant,

    27. and whoever wishes to be first among you must be your slave,

    28. just as the Son of Man came not to be served but to serve and to give his life a ransom for many.”
