Reading

The Acts of the Apostles 5: 27-33

5:27Og da de havde bragt dem, de stillede dem for rådet. Og ypperstepræsten spurgte dem,
5:28og sagde: "Vi beordrer dig kraftigt til ikke at undervise i dette navn. For se, du har fyldt Jerusalem med din lære, og du ønsker at bringe denne mands blod over os."
5:29Men Peter og apostlene svarede ved at sige: "Det er nødvendigt at adlyde Gud, mere end mænd.
5:30Vore fædres Gud har oprejst Jesus, hvem du dræbte ved at hænge ham på et træ.
5:31Det er ham, som Gud har ophøjet ved sin højre hånd som Hersker og Frelser, for at tilbyde omvendelse og syndernes forladelse til Israel.
5:32Og vi er vidner til disse ting, med Helligånden, som Gud har givet til alle, som er ham lydige."
5:33da de havde hørt disse ting, de var dybt sårede, og de planlagde at dræbe dem.

Evangelium

The Holy Gospel According to John 3: 31-36

3:31He who comes from above, is above everything. He who is from below, is of the earth, and he speaks about the earth. He who comes from heaven is above everything.
3:32And what he has seen and heard, about this he testifies. And no one accepts his testimony.
3:33Whoever has accepted his testimony has certified that God is truthful.
3:34For he whom God has sent speaks the words of God. For God does not give the Spirit by measure.
3:35The Father loves the Son, and he has given everything into his hand.
3:36Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life. But whoever is unbelieving toward the Son shall not see life; instead the wrath of God remains upon him.”
