Reading

The Book of the Prophet Isaiah 7: 1-9

7:1	И то се догодило у дане Ахазове, син Јотамов, син Озије, јудејски краљ, тај Резин, краљ Сирије, и Пеках, сина Ремалије, краљ Израела, попео се у Јерусалим да се бори против њега. Али нису успели да га победе.
7:2	И јавили су се дому Давидову, говорећи: „Сирија се повукла у Ефраим. И срце му је било потресено, срцем свог народа, just as the trees of the forest are moved by the face of the wind.
7:3	And the Lord said to Isaiah: Go out to meet Ahaz, you and your son, Jashub, who was left behind, to the end of the aqueduct, at the upper pool, on the road to the fuller’s field.
7:4	А ти ћеш му рећи: “See to it that you are silent. Не бој се. And have no dread in your heart over the two tails of these firebrands, nearly extinguished, which are the wrath of the fury of Rezin, king of Syria, and of the son of Remaliah.”
7:5	For Syria has undertaken a plan against you, with the evil of Ephraim and the son of Remaliah, говорећи:
7:6	“Let us ascend to Judah, and stir it up, and tear it away for ourselves, and appoint the son of Tabeel as a king in its midst.”
7:7	Thus says the Lord God: This shall not stand, and this shall not be.
7:8	For the head of Syria is Damascus, and the head of Damascus is Rezin; and within sixty-five years from now, Ephraim will cease to be a people.
7:9	For the head of Ephraim is Samaria, and the head of Samaria is the son of Remaliah. If you will not believe, you will not continue.

The Holy Gospel According to Matthew 11: 20-24

11:20	Then he began to rebuke the cities in which many of his miracles were accomplished, for they still had not repented.
11:21	“Woe to you, Цхоразин! јадан ти, Витхсаида! For if the miracles that were done in you had been done in Tyre and Sidon, they would have repented long ago in haircloth and ashes.
11:22	Ипак заиста, рекао сам ти, Tyre and Sidon shall be forgiven more than you, on the day of judgment.
11:23	И ви, Кафарнаум, would you be exalted all the way to heaven? You shall descend all the way to Hell. For if the miracles that were done in you had been done in Sodom, perhaps it would have remained, па и до данас.
11:24	Ипак заиста, рекао сам ти, that the land of Sodom shall be forgiven more than you, on the day of judgment.”
