The Acts of the Apostles 20: 28-38

20:28 Gættu að sjálfum þér og allri hjörðinni, sem heilagur andi hefur sett yður yfir sem biskupa til að stjórna kirkju Guðs, sem hann hefur keypt með eigin blóði.
20:29 Ég veit að eftir brottför mína munu hrífandi úlfar koma inn á meðal ykkar, hlífa ekki hjörðinni.
20:30 Og frá yðar á milli, menn munu rísa upp, talar rangsnúna hluti til að tæla lærisveina á eftir þeim.
20:31 Vegna þessa, vera vakandi, halda í minninguna að í þrjú ár hafi ég ekki hætt, nótt og dag, með tárum, að áminna hvern og einn yðar.
20:32 Og nú, Ég fel þig Guði og orði náðar hans. Hann hefur vald til að byggja upp, og gefa öllum þeim, sem helgaðir eru, arfleifð.
20:33 Ég hefi hvorki girnst silfur né gull, né fatnaður,
20:34 eins og þið sjálf vitið. Fyrir það sem þurfti af mér og þeim sem eru með mér, þessar hendur hafa veitt.
20:35 Ég hef opinberað þér allt, því með því að vinna á þennan hátt, það er nauðsynlegt að styðja hina veiku og minnast orða Drottins Jesú, hvernig hann sagði, „Sællara er að gefa en þiggja.“
20:36 Og er hann hafði þetta mælt, krjúpandi niður, hann bað með þeim öllum.
20:37 Þá varð mikill grátur meðal þeirra allra. Og, fellur Páli um hálsinn, þeir kysstu hann,
20:38 hryggðist mest af öllu orði sem hann hafði sagt, að þeir myndu aldrei sjá andlit hans aftur. Og þeir fluttu hann til skips.

Gospel

The Holy Gospel According to John 17: 11-19

17:11 And though I am not in the world, these are in the world, and I am coming to you. Father most holy, preserve them in your name, those whom you have given to me, so that they may be one, even as we are one.
17:12 While I was with them, I preserved them in your name. I have guarded those whom you have given to me, and not one of them is lost, except the son of perdition, so that the Scripture may be fulfilled.
17:13 And now I am coming to you. But I am speaking these things in the world, so that they may have the fullness of my joy within themselves.
17:14 I have given them your word, and the world has hated them. For they are not of the world, just as I, líka, am not of the world.
17:15 I am not praying that you would take them out of the world, but that you would preserve them from evil.
17:16 They are not of the world, just as I also am not of the world.
17:17 Sanctify them in truth. Your word is truth.
17:18 Just as you have sent me into the world, I also have sent them into the world.
17:19 And it is for them that I sanctify myself, svo að þeir, líka, may be sanctified in truth.

Gerðir 1: 15- 17, 20-26

1:15 In those days, Pétur, rising up in the midst of the brothers, sagði (now the crowd of men altogether was about one hundred and twenty):
1:16 „Göfugir bræður, the Scripture must be fulfilled, which the Holy Spirit predicted by the mouth of David about Judas, who was the leader of those who apprehended Jesus.
1:17 He had been numbered among us, and he was chosen by lot for this ministry.

1:20 For it has been written in the book of Psalms: ‘Let their dwelling place be desolate and may there be no one who dwells within it,’ and ‘Let another take his episcopate.’
1:21 Þess vegna, it is necessary that, out of these men who have been assembling with us throughout the entire time that the Lord Jesus went in and out among us,
1:22 beginning from the baptism of John, until the day when he was taken up from us, one of these be made a witness with us of his Resurrection.”
1:23 And they appointed two: Joseph, who was called Barsabbas, who was surnamed Justus, and Matthias.
1:24 And praying, þau sögðu: “May you, Ó Drottinn, who knows the heart of everyone, reveal which one of these two you have chosen,
1:25 to take a place in this ministry and apostleship, from which Judas prevaricated, so that he might go to his own place.”
1:26 And they cast lots concerning them, and the lot fell upon Matthias. And he was numbered with the eleven Apostles.

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.

Gerðir 19: 1- 8

19:1	Nú gerðist það, meðan Apollon var í Korintu, Páll, eftir að hann hafði farið um efri héruð, kom til Efesus. Og hann hitti nokkra lærisveina.
19:2	Og hann sagði við þá, „Eftir að hafa trúað, hefur þú fengið heilagan anda?“ En þeir sögðu við hann, „Við höfum ekki einu sinni heyrt að til sé heilagur andi.
19:3	Samt sannarlega, sagði hann, „Þá með hverju hefur þú verið skírður?“ Og þeir sögðu, "Með skírn Jóhannesar."
19:4	Þá sagði Páll: „Jóhannes skírði fólkið með iðrunarskírn, segja að þeir ættu að trúa á þann sem á eftir honum kemur, það er, í Jesú."
19:5	Eftir að hafa heyrt þessa hluti, þeir voru skírðir í nafni Drottins Jesú.
19:6	Og þegar Páll hafði lagt hendur sínar á þá, heilagur andi kom yfir þá. Og þeir töluðu tungum og spáðu.
19:7	Nú voru menn alls um tólf.
19:8	Þá, þegar gengið er inn í samkunduhúsið, hann talaði trúfastlega í þrjá mánuði, að deila og sannfæra þá um Guðs ríki.

Jón 16: 29- 33

16:29His disciples said to him: „Sjá, now you are speaking plainly and not reciting a proverb.

16:30Now we know that you know all things, and that you have no need for anyone to question you. By this, we believe that you went forth from God.”

16:31Jesus answered them: “Do you believe now?

16:32Sjá, the hour is coming, and it has now arrived, when you will be scattered, each one on his own, and you will leave me behind, alone. And yet I am not alone, for the Father is with me.

16:33These things I have spoken to you, so that you may have peace in me. Í heiminum, you will have difficulties. But have confidence: I have overcome the world.”
