Now, even if I boast a little too much of our authority,which the Lord gave for building you up and not for tearing you down, I will not beashamed of it.

Gospel (John 1:29-34)From the Gospel of our Lord JesusChrist according to Saint John, whoproclaimed life to the world. Let uslisten to the proclamation of lifeand salvation for our souls.

The Apostle said: The next day he sawJesus coming toward him and declared,“Here is the Lamb of God who takesaway the sin of the world! This is he ofwhom I said, ‘After me comes a man whoranks ahead of me because he wasbefore me.’ I myself did not know him;but I came baptizing with water for thisreason, that he might be revealed toIsrael.” And John testified, “I saw theSpirit descending from heaven like adove, and it remained on him. I myself didnot know him, but the one who sent meto baptize with water said to me, ‘He onwhom you see the Spirit descend andremain is the one who baptizes with theHoly Spirit.’ And I myself have seen andhave testified that this is the Son of God.”This is the truth. Peace be with you.

Gospel (John 1:29-34)From the Gospel of our Lord JesusChrist according to Saint John, whoproclaimed life to the world. Let uslisten to the proclamation of lifeand salvation for our souls.

The Apostle said: The next day he sawJesus coming toward him and declared,“Here is the Lamb of God who takesaway the sin of the world! This is he ofwhom I said, ‘After me comes a man whoranks ahead of me because he wasbefore me.’ I myself did not know him;but I came baptizing with water for thisreason, that he might be revealed toIsrael.” And John testified, “I saw theSpirit descending from heaven like adove, and it remained on him. I myself didnot know him, but the one who sent meto baptize with water said to me, ‘He onwhom you see the Spirit descend andremain is the one who baptizes with theHoly Spirit.’ And I myself have seen andhave testified that this is the Son of God.”This is the truth. Peace be with you.
