Scriptural Readings:

Tuesday


2 Timothy 3:16-4:4

2 Timothy 3:16-4:416All scripture is inspired by God and is useful for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness, 17so that everyone who belongs to God may be proficient, equipped for every good work.


4In the presence of God and of Christ Jesus, who is to judge the living and the dead, and in view of his appearing and his kingdom, I solemnly urge you: 2proclaim the message; be persistent whether the time is favorable or unfavorable; convince, rebuke, and encourage, with the utmost patience in teaching. 3For the time is coming when people will not put up with sound doctrine, but having itching ears, they will accumulate for themselves teachers to suit their own desires, 4and will turn away from listening to the truth and wander away to myths.




Luke 19:45-48

Luke 19:45-4845Then he entered the temple and began to drive out those who were selling things there; 46and he said, “It is written, ‘My house shall be a house of prayer’; but you have made it a den of robbers.” 47Every day he was teaching in the temple. The chief priests, the scribes, and the leaders of the people kept looking for a way to kill him; 48but they did not find anything they could do, for all the people were spellbound by what they heard.

Memory of the Holy and Glorious Apostle Andrew,

the First-called (First century)



A native of Bethsaida in Galilee, Saint Andrew was son of Jonas, the brother of Saint Peter, and the disciple of Saint John the Baptist. Having understood the testimony of his teacher who pointed at Christ and said: "Behold the lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world," he immediately followed Jesus and was his first disciple (whence his name of Protoklitos, or First-called). After the Savior's Ascension, according to Eusebius (III:1), he evangelized Scythia and, if ecclesiastical tradition is to be believed, died crucified in Patras in Achaia. In 1462 his head was laid near the tomb of Peter in the Vatican by Pope Pius II. Pope Paul VI, in 1964, returned the relic of Saint Andrew to the Orthodox Church in Patras, Greece, where tradition says he was martyred.
