The Psalm & Gospel :: المزمور والإنجيل

Reader:
Stand up in the fear of God and listen to the Holy Gospel. A chapter from the Gospel according to Saint John. May his blessings, be with us all. Amen.

From the psalms and hymns of our teacher David the prophet. May his blessings be with us all. Amen. (Psalm 132:9,10,17, 18)

Let Your priests be clothed with righteousness, And let Your saints shout for joy. For Your servant David's sake. I will prepare a lamp for My Anointed. Upon Himself His crown shall flourish. Alleluia

Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord. Our Lord, God, Savior, and King of us all, Jesus Christ, the Son of the living God, to whom is the glory forever, and ever. Amen. (John 1:1-17)

In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God. All things were made through Him, and without Him nothing was made that was made. In Him was life, and the life was the light of men. And the light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not comprehend it. There was a man sent from God, whose name was John. This man came for a witness, to bear witness of the Light, that all through him might believe. He was not that Light, but was sent to bear witness of that Light. That was the true Light which gives light to every man coming into the world. He was in the world, and the world was made through Him, and the world did not know Him. He came to His own, and His own did not receive Him. But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, to those who believe in His name: who were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God. And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth. John bore witness of Him and cried out, saying, "This was He of whom I said, 'He who comes after me is preferred before me, for He was before me.'" And of His fullness we have all received, and grace for grace. For the law was given through Moses, but grace and truth came through Jesus Christ.

Glory be to God forever.
