Happy Easter!
Първо четене: Деяния на апостолите, 10: 34, 37-43
| 10:34 | Тогава, Петър, отваряйки устата си, казах: „Наистина заключих, че Бог не уважава личността. |
| 10:37 | You know that the Word has been made known throughout all Judea. For beginning from Galilee, after the baptism which John preached, |
| 10:38 | Jesus of Nazareth, whom God anointed with the Holy Spirit and with power, traveled around doing good and healing all those oppressed by the devil. For God was with him. |
| 10:39 | And we are witnesses of all that he did in the region of Judea and in Jerusalem, he whom they killed by hanging him on a tree. |
| 10:40 | God raised him up on the third day and permitted him to be made manifest, |
| 10:41 | not to all the people, but to the witnesses preordained by God, to those of us who ate and drank with him after he rose again from the dead. |
| 10:42 | And he instructed us to preach to the people, and to testify that he is the One who was appointed by God to be the judge of the living and of the dead. |
| 10:43 | To him all the Prophets offer testimony that through his name all who believe in him receive the remission of sins.” |
Второ четене: The Letter of St. Paul to the Colossians 3: 1 – 4
| 3:1 | Следователно, ако си възкръснал заедно с Христос, търсете нещата, които са горе, където Христос седи от дясната страна на Бога. |
| 3:2 | Помислете за нещата, които са по-горе, не нещата, които са на земята. |
| 3:3 | Защото ти умря, и така вашият живот е скрит с Христос в Бога. |
| 3:4 | Когато Христос, твоя живот, появява се, тогава и ти ще се явиш с него в слава. |
Или, The First Letter of St. Paul to the Corithians 5:6 – 8
| 5:6 | It is not good for you to glory. Do you not know that a little leaven corrupts the entire mass? |
| 5:7 | Purge the old leaven, so that you may become the new bread, for you are unleavened. For Christ, our Passover, has now been immolated. |
| 5:8 | И така, let us feast, not with the old leaven, not with the leaven of malice and wickedness, but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth. |
Светото Евангелие според Йоан 20: 1-9
| 20:1 | След това на първата събота, Мария Магдалена отиде рано на гроба, докато беше още тъмно, и тя видя, че камъкът беше отвален от гроба. |
| 20:2 | Следователно, тя изтича и отиде при Симон Петър, и на другия ученик, когото Исус обичаше, и тя им каза, „Отнесоха Господа от гроба, and we do not know where they have laid him.” |
| 20:3 | Следователно, Peter departed with the other disciple, and they went to the tomb. |
| 20:4 | Now they both ran together, but the other disciple ran more quickly, ahead of Peter, and so he arrived at the tomb first. |
| 20:5 | And when he bowed down, he saw the linen cloths lying there, but he did not yet enter. |
| 20:6 | Then Simon Peter arrived, following him, and he entered the tomb, and he saw the linen cloths lying there, |
| 20:7 | and the separate cloth which had been over his head, not placed with the linen cloths, but in a separate place, wrapped up by itself. |
| 20:8 | Then the other disciple, who had arrived first at the tomb, also entered. And he saw and believed. |
| 20:9 | For as yet they did not understand the Scripture, that it was necessary for him to rise again from the dead. |
