First Reading

The Book of the Prophet Isaiah 42: 1-4, 6-7

42:1	Behold my servant, I will uphold him, my elect, with him my soul is well-pleased. I have sent my Spirit upon him. He will offer judgment to the nations.
42:2	He will not cry out, and he will not show favoritism to anyone; neither will his voice be heard abroad.
42:3	The bruised reed he will not break, and the smoldering wick he will not extinguish. He will lead forth judgment unto truth.
42:4	He will not be saddened or troubled, until he establishes judgment on earth. And the islands will await his law.
42:6	میں, the Lord, have called you in justice, and I have taken your hand and preserved you. And I have presented you as a covenant of the people, as a light to the Gentiles,
42:7	so that you may open the eyes of the blind, and lead out the prisoner from confinement and those sitting in darkness from the house of incarceration.

Second Reading

The Acts of the Apostles 10: 34-38

10:34	پھر, پیٹر, اس کا منہ کھولنا, کہا: "میں نے سچ میں یہ نتیجہ اخذ کیا ہے کہ خدا انسانوں کا احترام کرنے والا نہیں ہے۔.
10:35	لیکن ہر قوم کے اندر, جو اس سے ڈرتا ہے اور انصاف کرتا ہے وہ اسے قبول کرتا ہے۔.
10:36	خدا نے کلام کو بنی اسرائیل کے پاس بھیجا۔, یسوع مسیح کے ذریعے امن کا اعلان کرنا, کیونکہ وہ سب کا رب ہے۔.
10:37	تم جانتے ہو کہ کلام تمام یہودیہ میں مشہور ہو چکا ہے۔. گلیل سے شروع کرنے کے لیے, بپتسمہ کے بعد جس کی یوحنا نے تبلیغ کی۔,
10:38	عیسی ناصری, جسے خدا نے روح القدس اور قدرت سے مسح کیا۔, اچھے کام کرنے اور شیطان کے ذریعہ مظلوموں کو شفا دینے کے ارد گرد سفر کیا۔. کیونکہ خدا اس کے ساتھ تھا۔.
