Prvé čítanie

 

The Acts of the Apostles 10: 25-26, 34-35, 44-48

10:25 A stalo sa tak, keď Peter vošiel, Cornelius mu išiel naproti. A padať pred jeho nohami, ctil.

10:26 Napriek tomu skutočne, Peter, zdvihnúť ho, povedal: "Vstaň, lebo aj ja som len človek."

10:34 Potom, Peter, otvára ústa, povedal: „Skutočne som dospel k záveru, že Boh nerešpektuje osoby.

10:35 Ale v rámci každého národa, kto sa ho bojí a koná právo, je mu milý.

10:44 Kým Peter ešte hovoril tieto slová, Duch Svätý padol na všetkých, ktorí počúvali Slovo.

10:45 A veriaci z obriezky, ktorý prišiel s Petrom, žasli nad tým, že milosť Ducha Svätého bola vyliata aj na pohanov.

10:46 Lebo ich počuli hovoriť jazykmi a velebiť Boha.

10:47 Potom Peter zareagoval, „Ako môže niekto zakázať vodu?, aby tí, čo prijali Ducha Svätého, neboli pokrstení, tak ako sme boli aj my?“

10:48 A prikázal ich pokrstiť v mene Pána Ježiša Krista. Potom ho prosili, aby zostal s nimi niekoľko dní.

 

Druhé čítanie

The First Letter of Saint John 4: 7-10

4:7 Najmilovanejší, 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.

 

evanjelium

The Holy Gospel According to John 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.
