Barua kwa Waebrania 13: 1-8

13:1	May fraternal charity remain in you.
13:2	And do not be willing to forget hospitality. Kwa hivyo, certain persons, without realizing it, have received Angels as guests.
13:3	Remember those who are prisoners, just as if you were imprisoned with them, and those who endure hardships, just as if you were in their place.
13:4	May marriage be honorable in every way, and may the marriage bed be immaculate. For God will judge fornicators and adulterers.
13:5	Let your behavior be without avarice; be content with what you are offered. For he himself has said, “I will not abandon you, and I will not neglect you.”
13:6	Hivyo basi, we may confidently say, “The Lord is my helper. I will not fear what man can do to me.”
13:7	Remember your leaders, who have spoken the Word of God to you, whose faith you imitate, by observing the goal of their way of life:
13:8	Yesu Kristo, yesterday and today; Jesus Christ forever.

Injili

Injili Takatifu Kulingana na Marko 6: 14-29

6:14	Naye mfalme Herode akasikia, (kwa maana jina lake lilikuwa limejulikana sana) na akasema: “John the Baptist has risen tena from the dead, na kwa sababu hii, miujiza inatenda kazi ndani yake.”
6:15	Lakini wengine walikuwa wanasema, “Kwa sababu ni Eliya.” Bado wengine walikuwa wakisema, “Kwa sababu yeye ni nabii, kama mmoja wa manabii.”
6:16	Herode aliposikia, alisema, “John niliyemkata kichwa, huyo amefufuka kutoka kwa wafu.”
6:17	Kwa maana Herode mwenyewe alikuwa ametuma watu kumkamata Yohane, na alikuwa amemfunga gerezani, kwa sababu ya Herodia, mke wa kaka yake Filipo; maana alikuwa amemwoa.
6:18	Kwa maana Yohana alikuwa akimwambia Herode, "Si halali kwako kuwa na mke wa ndugu yako."
6:19	Sasa Herodia alikuwa akipanga hila dhidi yake; naye alitaka kumuua, lakini hakuweza.
6:20	Kwa maana Herode alikuwa akimwogopa Yohana, kumjua kuwa ni mtu mwenye haki na mtakatifu, na hivyo akamlinda. Naye akasikia kwamba alikuwa akitimiza mambo mengi, na hivyo akamsikiliza kwa hiari.
6:21	Na wakati muafaka ulipowadia, Herode alifanya karamu siku ya kuzaliwa kwake, pamoja na viongozi, na mahakama, na wakuu wa kwanza wa Galilaya.
6:22	Na binti yake Herodia alipoingia, na kucheza, na kumpendeza Herode, pamoja na wale waliokuwa mezani pamoja naye, mfalme akamwambia yule msichana, “Niombe chochote unachotaka, nami nitakupa wewe.”
6:23	Naye akamwapia, "Chochote unachoomba, nitakupa, hata nusu ya ufalme wangu.”
6:24	Na alipokuwa ametoka nje, akamwambia mama yake, “Niombe nini?” Lakini mama yake alisema, “Kichwa cha Yohana Mbatizaji.”
6:25	Na mara moja, alipoingia kwa mfalme kwa haraka, alimwomba, akisema: "Nataka unipe mara moja katika sinia kichwa cha Yohana Mbatizaji."
6:26	Na mfalme akahuzunika sana. Lakini kwa sababu ya kiapo chake, na kwa sababu ya wale walioketi pamoja naye mezani, hakuwa tayari kumkatisha tamaa.
6:27	Hivyo, akiwa ametuma mnyongaji, akaagiza kiletwe kichwa chake kwenye sinia.
6:28	Naye akamkata kichwa gerezani, akakileta kichwa chake katika sinia. Na akampa msichana, na yule msichana akampa mama yake.
6:29	Wanafunzi wake waliposikia hayo, wakaja wakauchukua mwili wake, wakaiweka kaburini.
