Prayer Before Reading Holy Scripture
O Master Who loves mankind, illuminate our hearts with the pure light of Your divine knowledge and open the eyes of our mind to understand the teachings of Your Gospel. Instill in us also the fear of Your blessed commandments, that we may overcome all carnal desires, entering upon a spiritual life and understanding and acting in all things according to Your holy will. For You are the enlightenment of our souls and bodies, O Christ God, and to You we give glory together with Your eternal Father and Your all-holy, gracious and life-giving Spirit, now and ever and forever. Amen.
Error: 2:1-10
Gospel Reading: John 15:17-16:2
"These things I command you, that you love one another.
"If the world hates you, you know that it hated Me before it hated you.
"If you were of the world, the world would love its own. Yet because you are not of the world, but I chose you out of the world, therefore the world hates you.
"Remember the word that I said to you, 'A servant is not greater than his master.' If they persecuted Me, they will also persecute you. If they kept My word, they will keep yours also.
"But all these things they will do to you for My name's sake, because they do not know Him who sent Me.
"If I had not come and spoken to them, they would have no sin, but now they have no excuse for their sin.
"He who hates Me hates My Father also.
"If I had not done among them the works which no one else did, they would have no sin; but now they have seen and also hated both Me and My Father.
"But this happened that the word might be fulfilled which is written in their law, 'They hated Me without a cause.'
"But when the Helper comes, whom I shall send to you from the Father, the Spirit of truth who proceeds from the Father, He will testify of Me.
"And you also will bear witness, because you have been with Me from the beginning.
"These things I have spoken to you, that you should not be made to stumble.
"They will put you out of the synagogues; yes, the time is coming that whoever kills you will think that he offers God service.
