Readings for the Thursday before Hosanna:



◦Evening ■St. Matthew 7: 1 - 12

Matthew 7:1-12 (King James Version)








Matthew 7



1Judge not, that ye be not judged.



2For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again.



3And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye?



4Or how wilt thou say to thy brother, Let me pull out the mote out of thine eye; and, behold, a beam is in thine own eye?



5Thou hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of thine own eye; and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy brother's eye.



6Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast ye your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn again and rend you.



7Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you:



8For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened.



9Or what man is there of you, whom if his son ask bread, will he give him a stone?



10Or if he ask a fish, will he give him a serpent?



11If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children, how much more shall your Father which is in heaven give good things to them that ask him?



12Therefore all things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them: for this is the law and the prophets.

◦Morning ■Exodus15: 19 -21

Exodus 15:19-21 (King James Version)










19For the horse of Pharaoh went in with his chariots and with his horsemen into the sea, and the LORD brought again the waters of the sea upon them; but the children of Israel went on dry land in the midst of the sea.



20And Miriam the prophetess, the sister of Aaron, took a timbrel in her hand; and all the women went out after her with timbrels and with dances.



21And Miriam answered them, Sing ye to the LORD, for he hath triumphed gloriously; the horse and his rider hath he thrown into the sea.


■Joshua 6:1-5

Joshua 6:1-5 (King James Version)








Joshua 6



1Now Jericho was straitly shut up because of the children of Israel: none went out, and none came in.



2And the LORD said unto Joshua, See, I have given into thine hand Jericho, and the king thereof, and the mighty men of valour.



3And ye shall compass the city, all ye men of war, and go round about the city once. Thus shalt thou do six days.



4And seven priests shall bear before the ark seven trumpets of rams' horns: and the seventh day ye shall compass the city seven times, and the priests shall blow with the trumpets.



5And it shall come to pass, that when they make a long blast with the ram's horn, and when ye hear the sound of the trumpet, all the people shall shout with a great shout; and the wall of the city shall fall down flat, and the people shall ascend up every man straight before him.


■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.


■Acts16: 23- 40

Acts 16:23-40 (King James Version)










23And when they had laid many stripes upon them, they cast them into prison, charging the jailor to keep them safely:



24Who, having received such a charge, thrust them into the inner prison, and made their feet fast in the stocks.



25And at midnight Paul and Silas prayed, and sang praises unto God: and the prisoners heard them.



26And suddenly there was a great earthquake, so that the foundations of the prison were shaken: and immediately all the doors were opened, and every one's bands were loosed.



27And the keeper of the prison awaking out of his sleep, and seeing the prison doors open, he drew out his sword, and would have killed himself, supposing that the prisoners had been fled.



28But Paul cried with a loud voice, saying, Do thyself no harm: for we are all here.



29Then he called for a light, and sprang in, and came trembling, and fell down before Paul and Silas,



30And brought them out, and said, Sirs, what must I do to be saved?



31And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house.



32And they spake unto him the word of the Lord, and to all that were in his house.



33And he took them the same hour of the night, and washed their stripes; and was baptized, he and all his, straightway.



34And when he had brought them into his house, he set meat before them, and rejoiced, believing in God with all his house.



35And when it was day, the magistrates sent the serjeants, saying, Let those men go.



36And the keeper of the prison told this saying to Paul, The magistrates have sent to let you go: now therefore depart, and go in peace.



37But Paul said unto them, They have beaten us openly uncondemned, being Romans, and have cast us into prison; and now do they thrust us out privily? nay verily; but let them come themselves and fetch us out.



38And the serjeants told these words unto the magistrates: and they feared, when they heard that they were Romans.



39And they came and besought them, and brought them out, and desired them to depart out of the city.



40And they went out of the prison, and entered into the house of Lydia: and when they had seen the brethren, they comforted them, and departed.


■II Corinthians 6: 1-10

2 Corinthians 6:1-10 (King James Version)








2 Corinthians 6



1We then, as workers together with him, beseech you also that ye receive not the grace of God in vain.



2(For he saith, I have heard thee in a time accepted, and in the day of salvation have I succoured thee: behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation.)



3Giving no offence in any thing, that the ministry be not blamed:



4But in all things approving ourselves as the ministers of God, in much patience, in afflictions, in necessities, in distresses,



5In stripes, in imprisonments, in tumults, in labours, in watchings, in fastings;



6By pureness, by knowledge, by long suffering, by kindness, by the Holy Ghost, by love unfeigned,



7By the word of truth, by the power of God, by the armour of righteousness on the right hand and on the left,



8By honour and dishonour, by evil report and good report: as deceivers, and yet true;



9As unknown, and yet well known; as dying, and, behold, we live; as chastened, and not killed;



10As sorrowful, yet alway rejoicing; as poor, yet making many rich; as having nothing, and yet possessing all things.


■St. Mark 8:22-26

Mark 8:22-26 (King James Version)










22And he cometh to Bethsaida; and they bring a blind man unto him, and besought him to touch him.



23And he took the blind man by the hand, and led him out of the town; and when he had spit on his eyes, and put his hands upon him, he asked him if he saw ought.



24And he looked up, and said, I see men as trees, walking.



25After that he put his hands again upon his eyes, and made him look up: and he was restored, and saw every man clearly.



26And he sent him away to his house, saying, Neither go into the town, nor tell it to any in the town.


■St. Matthew 20: 17-19

Matthew 20:17-19 (King James Version)










17And Jesus going up to Jerusalem took the twelve disciples apart in the way, and said unto them,



18Behold, we go up to Jerusalem; and the Son of man shall be betrayed unto the chief priests and unto the scribes, and they shall condemn him to death,



19And shall deliver him to the Gentiles to mock, and to scourge, and to crucify him: and the third day he shall rise again.
