The First Letter of Sanint John 2: 3-11

2:3	And we can be sure that we have known him by this: if we observe his commandments.
2:4	Whoever claims that he knows him, and yet does not keep his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him.
2:5	But whoever keeps his word, truly in him the charity of God is perfected. And by this we know that we are in him.
2:6	Whoever declares himself to remain in him, ought to walk just as he himself walked.
2:7	Най-любим, I am not writing to you a new commandment, but the old commandment, which you had from the beginning. The old commandment is the Word, which you have heard.
2:8	Тогава също, I am writing to you a new commandment, which is the Truth in him and in you. For the darkness has passed away, and the true Light is now shining.
2:9	Whoever declares himself to be in the light, and yet hates his brother, is in the darkness even now.
2:10	Whoever loves his brother abides in the light, and there is no cause of offense in him.
2:11	But whoever hates his brother is in the darkness, and in darkness he walks, and he does not know where he is going. For the darkness has blinded his eyes.

Евангелие

Светото Евангелие според Лука 2: 22-35

2:22	And after the days of her purification were fulfilled, according to the law of Moses, they brought him to Jerusalem, in order to present him to the Lord,
2:23	just as it is written in the law of the Lord, “For every male opening the womb shall be called holy to the Lord,”
2:24	and in order to offer a sacrifice, according to what is said in the law of the Lord, “a pair of turtledoves or two young pigeons.”
2:25	И ето, there was a man in Jerusalem, whose name was Simeon, и този човек беше праведен и богобоязлив, очаквайки утехата на Израел. И Святият Дух беше с него.
2:26	И беше получил отговор от Святия Дух: че няма да види собствената си смърт, преди да е видял Христос Господен.
2:27	И той отиде с Духа в храма. И когато детето Исус беше доведено от родителите си, за да действа от негово име според обичаите на закона,
2:28	той също го взе, в ръцете му, и той благослови Бога и каза:
2:29	„Сега можете спокойно да освободите слугата си, О, Боже, според твоята дума.
2:30	Защото очите ми видяха Твоето спасение,
2:31	които си приготвил пред лицето на всички народи:
2:32	светлината на откровението за народите и славата на твоя народ Израил.
2:33	И баща му и майка му се чудеха на тези неща, които се говореха за него.
2:34	И Симеон ги благослови, и каза на майка си Мария: „Ето, този е определен за гибел и за възкресение на мнозина в Израел, и като знак, който ще бъде опроверган.
2:35	И меч ще мине през собствената ти душа, за да се разкрият мислите на много сърца.
