Second Sunday after Baptism of our Lord


◦Evening

■St. John 1:26-34

John 1:26-34 (King James Version)




26John answered them, saying, I baptize with water: but there standeth one among you, whom ye know not;



27He it is, who coming after me is preferred before me, whose shoe's latchet I am not worthy to unloose.



28These things were done in Bethabara beyond Jordan, where John was baptizing.



29The next day John seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith, Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world.



30This is he of whom I said, After me cometh a man which is preferred before me: for he was before me.



31And I knew him not: but that he should be made manifest to Israel, therefore am I come baptizing with water.



32And John bare record, saying, I saw the Spirit descending from heaven like a dove, and it abode upon him.



33And I knew him not: but he that sent me to baptize with water, the same said unto me, Upon whom thou shalt see the Spirit descending, and remaining on him, the same is he which baptizeth with the Holy Ghost.



34And I saw, and bare record that this is the Son of God.






◦Morning

■St. John 1:35-42

John 1:35-42 (King James Version)




35Again the next day after John stood, and two of his disciples;



36And looking upon Jesus as he walked, he saith, Behold the Lamb of God!



37And the two disciples heard him speak, and they followed Jesus.



38Then Jesus turned, and saw them following, and saith unto them, What seek ye? They said unto him, Rabbi, (which is to say, being interpreted, Master,) where dwellest thou?



39He saith unto them, Come and see. They came and saw where he dwelt, and abode with him that day: for it was about the tenth hour.



40One of the two which heard John speak, and followed him, was Andrew, Simon Peter's brother.



41He first findeth his own brother Simon, and saith unto him, We have found the Messias, which is, being interpreted, the Christ.



42And he brought him to Jesus. And when Jesus beheld him, he said, Thou art Simon the son of Jona: thou shalt be called Cephas, which is by interpretation, A stone.

■Leviticus22: 26-33

Leviticus 22:26-33 (King James Version)




26And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,



27When a bullock, or a sheep, or a goat, is brought forth, then it shall be seven days under the dam; and from the eighth day and thenceforth it shall be accepted for an offering made by fire unto the LORD.



28And whether it be cow, or ewe, ye shall not kill it and her young both in one day.



29And when ye will offer a sacrifice of thanksgiving unto the LORD, offer it at your own will.



30On the same day it shall be eaten up; ye shall leave none of it until the morrow: I am the LORD.



31Therefore shall ye keep my commandments, and do them: I am the LORD.



32Neither shall ye profane my holy name; but I will be hallowed among the children of Israel: I am the LORD which hallow you,



33That brought you out of the land of Egypt, to be your God: I am the LORD.






■Proverbs9 : 1 - 9

Proverbs 9:1-9 (King James Version)




Proverbs 9

1Wisdom hath builded her house, she hath hewn out her seven pillars:



2She hath killed her beasts; she hath mingled her wine; she hath also furnished her table.



3She hath sent forth her maidens: she crieth upon the highest places of the city,



4Whoso is simple, let him turn in hither: as for him that wanteth understanding, she saith to him,



5Come, eat of my bread, and drink of the wine which I have mingled.



6Forsake the foolish, and live; and go in the way of understanding.



7He that reproveth a scorner getteth to himself shame: and he that rebuketh a wicked man getteth himself a blot.



8Reprove not a scorner, lest he hate thee: rebuke a wise man, and he will love thee.



9Give instruction to a wise man, and he will be yet wiser: teach a just man, and he will increase in learning.






■Isaiah 51:1-8

Isaiah 51:1-8 (King James Version)




Isaiah 51

1Hearken to me, ye that follow after righteousness, ye that seek the LORD: look unto the rock whence ye are hewn, and to the hole of the pit whence ye are digged.



2Look unto Abraham your father, and unto Sarah that bare you: for I called him alone, and blessed him, and increased him.



3For the LORD shall comfort Zion: he will comfort all her waste places; and he will make her wilderness like Eden, and her desert like the garden of the LORD; joy and gladness shall be found therein, thanksgiving, and the voice of melody.



4Hearken unto me, my people; and give ear unto me, O my nation: for a law shall proceed from me, and I will make my judgment to rest for a light of the people.



5My righteousness is near; my salvation is gone forth, and mine arms shall judge the people; the isles shall wait upon me, and on mine arm shall they trust.



6Lift up your eyes to the heavens, and look upon the earth beneath: for the heavens shall vanish away like smoke, and the earth shall wax old like a garment, and they that dwell therein shall die in like manner: but my salvation shall be for ever, and my righteousness shall not be abolished.



7Hearken unto me, ye that know righteousness, the people in whose heart is my law; fear ye not the reproach of men, neither be ye afraid of their revilings.



8For the moth shall eat them up like a garment, and the worm shall eat them like wool: but my righteousness shall be for ever, and my salvation from generation to generation.






◦Holy Qurbana

■I Peter3: 7-15

1 Peter 3:7-15 (King James Version)




7Likewise, ye husbands, dwell with them according to knowledge, giving honour unto the wife, as unto the weaker vessel, and as being heirs together of the grace of life; that your prayers be not hindered.



8Finally, be ye all of one mind, having compassion one of another, love as brethren, be pitiful, be courteous:



9Not rendering evil for evil, or railing for railing: but contrariwise blessing; knowing that ye are thereunto called, that ye should inherit a blessing.



10For he that will love life, and see good days, let him refrain his tongue from evil, and his lips that they speak no guile:



11Let him eschew evil, and do good; let him seek peace, and ensue it.



12For the eyes of the Lord are over the righteous, and his ears are open unto their prayers: but the face of the Lord is against them that do evil.



13And who is he that will harm you, if ye be followers of that which is good?



14But and if ye suffer for righteousness' sake, happy are ye: and be not afraid of their terror, neither be troubled;



15But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts: and be ready always to give an answer to every man that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in you with meekness and fear:

■St. John 1: 43 - 51

John 1:43-51 (King James Version)




43The day following Jesus would go forth into Galilee, and findeth Philip, and saith unto him, Follow me.



44Now Philip was of Bethsaida, the city of Andrew and Peter.



45Philip findeth Nathanael, and saith unto him, We have found him, of whom Moses in the law, and the prophets, did write, Jesus of Nazareth, the son of Joseph.



46And Nathanael said unto him, Can there any good thing come out of Nazareth? Philip saith unto him, Come and see.



47Jesus saw Nathanael coming to him, and saith of him, Behold an Israelite indeed, in whom is no guile!



48Nathanael saith unto him, Whence knowest thou me? Jesus answered and said unto him, Before that Philip called thee, when thou wast under the fig tree, I saw thee.



49Nathanael answered and saith unto him, Rabbi, thou art the Son of God; thou art the King of Israel.



50Jesus answered and said unto him, Because I said unto thee, I saw thee under the fig tree, believest thou? thou shalt see greater things than these.



51And he saith unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Hereafter ye shall see heaven open, and the angels of God ascending and descending upon the Son of man.
