Gerðir 16: 22- 34

16:22	Og fólkið hljóp saman í móti þeim. Og sýslumenn, að rífa kyrtla sína, skipaði að berja þá með stöfum.
16:23	Og er þeir höfðu lagt á þá marga böl, þeir kasta þeim í fangelsi, skipaði gæslunni að fylgjast vel með þeim.
16:24	Og þar sem hann hafði fengið svona skipun, hann kastaði þeim í innri fangaklefann, og hann þvingaði fætur þeirra með stokkum.
16:25	Þá, um miðja nótt, Páll og Silas voru að biðja og lofa Guð. Og þeir sem einnig voru í varðhaldi hlustuðu á þá.
16:26	Samt sannarlega, það varð skyndilega jarðskjálfti, svo mikil að undirstöður fangelsisins voru færðar til. Og strax opnuðust allar dyr, og voru lausar bindingar allra.
16:27	Síðan fangavörðurinn, hafa verið krukkandi vakandi, og sjá hurðir fangelsisins opnast, brá sverði sínu og ætlaði að drepa sig, að því gefnu að fangarnir hefðu flúið.
16:28	En Páll hrópaði hárri röddu, að segja: „Gerðu ekki sjálfum þér mein, því við erum öll hér!”
16:29	Þá er kallað eftir ljós, hann gekk inn. Og skjálfandi, hann féll fyrir fótum Páls og Sílasar.
16:30	Og koma þeim út, sagði hann, „Herrar, hvað á ég að gera, svo að ég verði hólpinn?”
16:31	Svo sögðu þeir, „Trúið á Drottin Jesú, og þá muntu frelsast, með heimili þínu."
16:32	Og þeir töluðu orð Drottins við hann, ásamt öllum þeim sem í húsi hans voru.
16:33	Og hann, taka þau á sama tíma næturinnar, þvegið böl þeirra. Og hann var skírður, og næst allt heimili hans.
16:34	Og er hann hafði fært þá inn í sitt eigið hús, hann lagði fyrir þá borð. Og hann var glaður, með öllu heimili sínu, að trúa á Guð.

Jón 16: 5- 11

16:5	But I did not tell you these things from the beginning, because I was with you. And now I am going to him who sent me. And no one among you has asked me, ‘Where are you going?'
16:6	But because I have spoken these things to you, sorrow has filled your heart.
16:7	But I tell you the truth: it is expedient for you that I am going. For if I do not go, the Advocate will not come to you. But when I will have gone away, I will send him to you.
16:8	Og þegar hann er kominn, he will argue against the world, about sin and about justice and about judgment:
16:9	about sin, einmitt, because they have not believed in me;
16:10	about justice, sannarlega, because I am going to the Father, and you will not see me any longer;
16:11	about judgment, Þá, because the prince of this world has already been judged.

Gerðir 16: 11-15

16:11 Og sigla frá Tróas, fara beina leið, við komum til Samothrace, og daginn eftir, í Neapolis,

16:12 og þaðan til Filippí, sem er æðsta borgin á svæði Makedóníu, nýlenda. Nú vorum við í þessari borg nokkra daga, ræða saman.

16:13 Þá, á hvíldardegi, við gengum fyrir utan hliðið, við hlið ána, þar sem virtist vera bænasamkoma. Og setjast niður, við vorum að tala við konur sem saman voru komnar.

16:14 Og ákveðin kona, heitir Lydia, seljandi fjólublás í borginni Þýatíru, tilbiðjandi Guðs, hlustaði. Og Drottinn opnaði hjarta hennar til að vera móttækilegur fyrir því sem Páll var að segja.

16:15 Og er hún hafði verið skírð, með heimili sínu, bað hún okkur, að segja: „Ef þú hefur dæmt mig til að vera Drottni trúr, gangið inn í hús mitt og gisti þar.“ Og hún sannfærði okkur.

Gospel
Jón 15: 26-16: 4

15:26 But when the Advocate has arrived, whom I will send to you from the Father, the Spirit of truth who proceeds from the Father, he will offer testimony about me.

15:27 And you shall offer testimony, because you are with me from the beginning.”

16:1 “These things I have spoken to you, so that you would not stumble.

16:2 They will put you out of the synagogues. But the hour is coming when everyone who puts you to death will consider that he is offering an excellent service to God.

16:3 And they will do these things to you because they have not known the Father, nor me.

16:4 But these things I have spoken to you, svo að, when the hour for these things will have arrived, you may remember that I told you.

Gerðir 10: 25- 26, 34- 35, 44- 48

10:25	Og það gerðist, when Peter had entered, Cornelius went to meet him. And falling before his feet, he reverenced.
10:26	Samt sannarlega, Pétur, lifting him up, sagði: "Rísa upp, for I also am only a man.”

10:34	Þá, Pétur, opening his mouth, sagði: “I have concluded in truth that God is not a respecter of persons.
10:35	But within every nation, whoever fears him and works justice is acceptable to him.

10:44	While Peter was still speaking these words, the Holy Spirit fell over all of those who were listening to the Word.
10:45	And the faithful of the circumcision, who had arrived with Peter, were astonished that the grace of the Holy Spirit was also poured out upon the Gentiles.
10:46	For they heard them speaking in tongues and magnifying God.
10:47	Then Peter responded, “How could anyone prohibit water, so that those who have received the Holy Spirit would not be baptized, just as we also have been?”
10:48	And he ordered them to be baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ. Then they begged him to remain with them for some days.

First Letter of John 4: 7- 10

4:7	Most beloved, let us love one another. For love is of God. And everyone who loves is born of God and knows God.
4:8	Whoever does not love, does not know God. For God is love.
4:9	The love of God was made apparent to us in this way: that God sent his only-begotten Son into the world, so that we might live through him.
4:10	In this is love: not as if we had loved God, but that he first loved us, and so he sent his Son as a propitiation for our sins.

Jón 15: 9- 17

15:9	As the Father has loved me, so I have loved you. Abide in my love.
15:10	If you keep my precepts, you shall abide in my love, just as I also have kept my Father’s precepts and I abide in his love.
15:11	These things I have spoken to you, so that my joy may be in you, and your joy may be fulfilled.
15:12	This is my precept: that you love one another, just as I have loved you.
15:13	No one has a greater love than this: that he lay down his life for his friends.
15:14	You are my friends, if you do what I instruct you.
15:15	I will no longer call you servants, for the servant does not know what his Lord is doing. But I have called you friends, because everything whatsoever that I have heard from my Father, I have made known to you.
15:16	You have not chosen me, but I have chosen you. And I have appointed you, so that you may go forth and bear fruit, and so that your fruit may last. Then whatever you have asked of the Father in my name, he shall give to you.
15:17	This I command you: that you love one another.
