Lectio

Apocalypsis Liber 1; 1-4, 2: 1-5

1:1	The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave to him, in order to make known to his servants the things that must soon occur, and which he signified by sending his Angel to his servant John;
1:2	he has offered testimony to the Word of God, and whatever he saw is the testimony of Jesus Christ.
1:3	Blessed is he who reads or hears the words of this Prophecy, and who keeps the things that have been written in it. For the time is near.
1:4	John, to the seven Churches, which are in Asia. Gratia vobis, et pax, from him who is, et quis erat, et qui venturus est, and from the seven spirits who are in the sight of his throne,

2:1	“And to the Angel of the Church of Ephesus write: Thus says the One who holds the seven stars in his right hand, who walks in the midst of the seven golden lampstands:
2:2	I know your works, and your hardship and patient endurance, and that you cannot stand those who are evil. Itaque, you have tested those who declare themselves to be Apostles and are not, and you have found them to be liars.
2:3	And you have patient endurance for the sake of my name, and you have not fallen away.
2:4	But I have this against you: that you have relinquished your first charity.
2:5	Itaque, call to mind the place from which you have fallen, and do penance, and do the first works. Alioquin, I will come to you and remove your lampstand from its place, unless you repent.

18:36	Et cum audissent turbam transeuntem, interrogavit quid hoc esset.
18:37	Dixerunt autem ei quod Jesus Nazarenus transiret.
18:38	Et exclamavit, dicens, "Iesum", filius David, miserere mei!"

18:40	Dixit ergo Jesus, stans, eum ad se adduci iussit. Et cum appropinquasset, Et interrogavit eum,
18:41	dicens, "Quid vis, ut faciam vobis?"Ille, inquit, "Dominus", ut videam.'
18:42	Jesus autem dixit ei: "Circumspice. fides tua te salvam fecit.
18:43	Et statim vidit. Et sequebatur eum, magnificans Deum. Et omnis populus, videntes hoc, dedit laudem Deo.
