The Acts of the Apostles 13: 26-33

13:26	Edele broers, zonen van de stam van Abraham, en degenen onder u die God vrezen, tot u is het Woord van deze zaligheid gezonden.
13:27	Voor degenen die in Jeruzalem woonden, en zijn heersers, geen acht slaan op hem, noch de stemmen van de profeten die op elke sabbat worden voorgelezen, vervulde deze door hem te oordelen.
13:28	En hoewel ze geen reden voor de dood tegen hem vonden, smeekten ze Pilatus, zodat ze hem ter dood konden brengen.
13:29	En toen ze alles hadden vervuld wat over hem was geschreven, hem uit de boom halen, ze legden hem in een graf.
13:30	Toch echt, God wekte hem op de derde dag op uit de dood.
13:31	En hij werd vele dagen gezien door degenen die met hem optrokken van Galilea naar Jeruzalem, die zelfs nu nog zijn getuigen voor het volk zijn.
13:32	En we kondigen u aan dat de Belofte, die aan onze vaderen werd gemaakt,
13:33	is vervuld door God voor onze kinderen door Jezus op te wekken, precies zoals het ook in de tweede Psalm is geschreven: 'Jij bent mijn zoon. Deze dag heb ik je verwekt.'

Feast of St. Markering

First Letter of Peter

5:5	Evenzo, young persons, be subject to the elders. And infuse all humility among one another, for God resists the arrogant, but to the humble he gives grace.
5:6	En dus, be humbled under the powerful hand of God, so that he may exalt you in the time of visitation.
5:7	Cast all your cares upon him, for he takes care of you.
5:8	Be sober and vigilant. For your adversary, the devil, is like a roaring lion, traveling around and seeking those whom he might devour.
5:9	Resist him by being strong in faith, being aware that the same passions afflict those who are your brothers in the world.
5:10	But the God of all grace, who has called us to his eternal glory in Christ Jesus, will himself perfect, confirm, and establish us, after a brief time of suffering.
5:11	To him be glory and dominion forever and ever. Amen.
5:12	I have written briefly, through Sylvanus, whom I consider to be a faithful brother to you, begging and testifying that this is the true grace of God, in which you have been established.
5:13	The Church which is in Babylon, elect together with you, greets you, as does my son, Markering.
5:14	Greet one another with a holy kiss. Grace be to all of you who are in Christ Jesus. Amen.

Markering 16: 15 – 20

16:15 En hij zei tegen hen: “Go forth to the whole world and preach the Gospel to every creature.

16:16 Whoever will have believed and been baptized will be saved. Toch echt, whoever will not have believed will be condemned.

16:17 Now these signs will accompany those who believe. In my name, they shall cast out demons. They will speak in new languages.

16:18 They will take up serpents, En, if they drink anything deadly, it will not harm them. They shall lay their hands upon the sick, and they will be well.”

16:19 En inderdaad, de Here Jezus, after he had spoken to them, was taken up into heaven, and he sits at the right hand of God.

16:20 Toen ... ze, uitzetten, preached everywhere, with the Lord cooperating and confirming the word by the accompanying signs.

Evangelie

John 12: 44- 50

12:44	But Jesus cried out and said: “Whoever believes in me, does not believe in me, but in him who sent me.
12:45	And whoever sees me, sees him who sent me.
12:46	I have arrived as a light to the world, so that all who believe in me might not remain in darkness.
12:47	And if anyone has heard my words and not kept them, I do not judge him. For I did not come so that I may judge the world, but so that I may save the world.
12:48	Whoever despises me and does not accept my words has one who judges him. The word that I have spoken, the same shall judge him on the last day.
12:49	For I am not speaking from myself, but from the Father who sent me. He gave a commandment to me as to what I should say and how I should speak.
12:50	And I know that his commandment is eternal life. Daarom, the things that I speak, just as the Father has said to me, so also do I speak.”
