ΑΝΑΓΝΩΣΗ

Οι Πράξεις των Αποστόλων 4: 32-35

4:32	Τότε το πλήθος των πιστών ήταν μιας καρδιάς και μιας ψυχής. Ούτε είπε κανείς ότι τίποτα από τα πράγματα που κατείχε ήταν δικά του, αλλά όλα τα πράγματα ήταν κοινά για αυτούς.
4:33	Και με μεγάλη δύναμη, οι Απόστολοι έδιναν μαρτυρία για την Ανάσταση του Ιησού Χριστού του Κυρίου μας. Και μεγάλη χάρη ήταν μέσα σε όλους αυτούς.
4:34	Και ούτε κάποιος ανάμεσά τους είχε ανάγκη. Για όσους ήταν ιδιοκτήτες χωραφιών ή σπιτιών, πουλώντας αυτά, έφερναν τα έσοδα από τα πράγματα που πουλούσαν,
4:35	και το έβαζαν μπροστά στα πόδια των Αποστόλων. Έπειτα μοιράστηκε στον καθένα, όπως ακριβώς είχε ανάγκη.

Δεύτερη Ανάγνωση

The First Letter of Saint John 5: 1-6

5:1	Everyone who believes that Jesus is the Christ, is born of God. And everyone who loves God, who provides that birth, also loves him who has been born of God.
5:2	Με αυτόν τον τρόπο, we know that we love those born of God: when we love God and do his commandments.
5:3	For this is the love of God: that we keep his commandments. And his commandments are not heavy.
5:4	For all that is born of God overcomes the world. And this is the victory that overcomes the world: our faith.
5:5	Who is it that overcomes the world? Only he who believes that Jesus is the Son of God!
5:6	This is the One who came by water and blood: Ιησούς Χριστός. Not by water only, but by water and blood. And the Spirit is the One who testifies that the Christ is the Truth.

Ευαγγέλιο

Το κατά Ιωάννη Ιερό Ευαγγέλιο 20: 19-31

20:19	Επειτα, when it was late on the same day, on the first of the Sabbaths, and the doors were closed where the disciples were gathered, for fear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood in their midst, και τους είπε: “Peace to you.”
20:20	Και όταν το είπε αυτό, he showed them his hands and side. And the disciples were gladdened when they saw the Lord.
20:21	Επομένως, he said to them again: “Peace to you. As the Father has sent me, so I send you.”
20:22	When he had said this, he breathed on them. Και τους είπε: “Receive the Holy Spirit.
20:23	Those whose sins you shall forgive, they are forgiven them, and those whose sins you shall retain, they are retained.”
20:24	Now Thomas, one of the twelve, who is called the Twin, was not with them when Jesus arrived.
20:25	Επομένως, the other disciples said to him, “We have seen the Lord.” But he said to them, “Unless I will see in his hands the mark of the nails and place my finger into the place of the nails, and place my hand into his side, I will not believe.”
20:26	And after eight days, again his disciples were within, and Thomas was with them. Jesus arrived, though the doors had been closed, and he stood in their midst and said, “Peace to you.”
20:27	Επόμενο, he said to Thomas: “Look at my hands, and place your finger here; and bring your hand close, and place it at my side. And do not choose to be unbelieving, but faithful.”
20:28	Thomas responded and said to him, “My Lord and my God.”
20:29	του είπε ο Ιησούς: “You have seen me, Thomas, so you have believed. Blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed.”
20:30	Jesus also accomplished many other signs in the sight of his disciples. These have not been written in this book.
20:31	But these things have been written, so that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and so that, in believing, you may have life in his name.
