Reading

The Acts of the Apostles 4: 32-37

4:32	Så var mængden af ​​troende af ét hjerte og én sjæl. Der var heller ingen, der sagde, at noget af det, han ejede, var hans eget, men alle ting var fælles for dem.
4:33	Og med stor kraft, apostlene bar vidnesbyrd om Jesu Kristi vor Herres opstandelse. Og stor nåde var i dem alle.
4:34	Og der var heller ingen blandt dem i nød. For lige så mange, som var ejere af marker eller huse, sælger disse, bragte udbyttet af de ting, de solgte,
4:35	og stillede det foran apostlenes fødder. Så blev det delt op til hver enkelt, ligesom han havde behov.
4:36	Nu Joseph, som apostlene gav tilnavnet Barnabas (som er oversat som 'trøstens søn'), som var en levit af cypriansk afstamning,
4:37	siden han havde jord, han solgte den, og han bragte udbyttet og lagde dem for apostlenes fødder.

Evangelium

The Holy Gospel According to John 3: 7-15

3:7	You should not be amazed that I said to you: You must be born anew.
3:8	The Spirit inspires where he wills. And you hear his voice, but you do not know where he comes from, or where he is going. So it is with all who are born of the Spirit.”
3:9	Nicodemus responded and said to him, “How are these things able to be accomplished?”
3:10	Jesus svarede og sagde til ham: “You are a teacher in Israel, and you are ignorant of these things?
3:11	Amen, amen, siger jeg til dig, that we speak about what we know, and we testify about what we have seen. But you do not accept our testimony.
3:12	If I have spoken to you about earthly things, and you have not believed, then how will you believe, if I will speak to you about heavenly things?
3:13	And no one has ascended to heaven, except the one who descended from heaven: the Son of man who is in heaven.
3:14	And just as Moses lifted up the serpent in the desert, so also must the Son of man be lifted up,
3:15	so that whoever believes in him may not perish, but may have eternal life.
