<p><span style="font-family: TimesNewRomanPS;"><b> </b> When Saul arrived in Je</span><span style="font-family: TimesNewRomanPS;">rusalem he tried to join the disciples, but they were all afraid
</span><span style="font-family: TimesNewRomanPS;">of him, not believing that he
</span><span style="font-family: TimesNewRomanPS;">was a disciple.
</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: TimesNewRomanPS;"><span> </span>Then Barnabas took
</span><span style="font-family: TimesNewRomanPS;">charge of him and brought him
to the apostles, and he reported
</span><span style="font-family: TimesNewRomanPS;">to them how he had seen the
Lord, and that he had spoken
to him, and how in Damascus
</span><span style="font-family: TimesNewRomanPS;">he had spoken out boldly in the
name of Jesus.
</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: TimesNewRomanPS;"><span> </span>Saul moved about freely
with them in Jerusalem, and
spoke out boldly in the name
</span><span style="font-family: TimesNewRomanPS;">of the Lord. He also spoke and
</span><span style="font-family: TimesNewRomanPS;">debated with the Hellenists,
</span><span style="font-family: TimesNewRomanPS;">but they tried to kill him. And
</span><span style="font-family: TimesNewRomanPS;">when the brothers learned of
this, they took him down to
Caesarea and sent him on his
</span><span style="font-family: TimesNewRomanPS;">way to Tarsus.
</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: TimesNewRomanPS;"><span> </span>The Church throughout all
</span><span style="font-family: TimesNewRomanPS;">Judea, Galilee, and Samaria
</span><span style="font-family: TimesNewRomanPS;">was at peace. It was being built
up and walked in the fear of the
Lord, and with the consolation
</span><span style="font-family: TimesNewRomanPS;">of the Holy Spirit it grew in
</span><span style="font-family: TimesNewRomanPS;">numbers.

</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: TimesNewRomanPS;"><span> </span>“I am the true vine, and my

</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: TimesNewRomanPS;"><span> </span>You are already pruned

spoke to you. Remain in me,

</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: TimesNewRomanPS;"><span> </span>I am the vine, you are the

me and I in him will bear much
fruit, because without me you

does not remain in me will be
thrown out like a branch and

and said: “You know what
has happened all over Judea,
beginning in Galilee after the
baptism that John preached,
how God anointed Jesus of
Nazareth with the Holy Spirit
and power. He went about doing good and healing all those
oppressed by the devil, for
God was with him. We are wit-

in the country of the Jews and
in Jerusalem. They put him
to death by hanging him on a

be visible, not to all the people,
but to us, the witnesses chosen
by God in advance, who ate

<p>Death and life have contended in that combat stupendous: the Prince of life, who

<p>Speak, Mary, declaring
what you saw, wayfaring. “The

the glory of Jesus’ resurrection; bright angels attesting,
the shroud and napkin resting.
Y es, Christ my hope is arisen:
to Galilee he goes before you.”

Have mercy, victor King, ever
reigning! Amen! Alleluia!</p>

<p><span style="font-weight: 700;"> </span>On the first day of the
week, Mary of Magdala came
to the tomb early in the morning, while it was still dark, and
saw the stone removed from
the tomb. So she ran and went
to Simon Peter and to the other disciple whom Jesus loved,
and told them, “They have
taken the Lord from the tomb,
and we don’t know where they
put him.”
</p>
<p> So Peter and the other disciple went out and came to the
tomb. They both ran, but the
other disciple ran faster than
Peter and arrived at the tomb
first. He bent down and saw
the burial cloths there, but did
not go in. When Simon Peter
arrived after him, he went into
the tomb and saw the burial
cloths there, and the cloth that
had covered his head, not with
the burial cloths but rolled up
in a separate place. Then the
other disciple, who had arrived at the tomb first, also
went in. He saw and believed.
For they did not yet understand the Scripture that Jesus
had to rise from the dead. </p>

Pilate. Pilate questioned him, </span></p><p><span style="font-family: TimesNewRomanPS;">P </span><span style="font-family: TimesNewRomanPS; font-style: italic;">–</span><span style="font-family: TimesNewRomanPS;">“Are you the king of the
</span><span style="font-family: TimesNewRomanPS;">Jews?”
</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: TimesNewRomanPS;">(N</span><span style="font-family: TimesNewRomanPS; vertical-align: 3pt;">1 </span><span style="font-family: TimesNewRomanPS; font-style: italic;">–</span><span style="font-family: TimesNewRomanPSMT;">He said to him in reply,</span><span style="font-family: TimesNewRomanPS;">)<br />
J </span><span style="font-family: TimesNewRomanPS; font-style: italic;">–“You say so.”<br />
</span><span style="font-family: TimesNewRomanPS;">N</span><span style="font-family: TimesNewRomanPS; vertical-align: 3pt;">2 </span><span style="font-family: TimesNewRomanPS; font-style: italic;">–</span><span style="font-family: TimesNewRomanPS;">The chief priests accused
him of many things. Again Pilate questioned him,<br />
</span><span style="font-family: TimesNewRomanPS;">P </span><span style="font-family: TimesNewRomanPS; font-style: italic;">–</span><span style="font-family: TimesNewRomanPS;">“Have you no answer?
See how many things they ac</span><span style="font-family: TimesNewRomanPS;">cuse you of.”<br />
</span><span style="font-family: TimesNewRomanPS;">N</span><span style="font-family: TimesNewRomanPS; vertical-align: 3pt;">2 </span><span style="font-family: TimesNewRomanPS; font-style: italic;">–</span><span style="font-family: TimesNewRomanPS;">Jesus gave him no fur</span><span style="font-family: TimesNewRomanPS;">ther answer, so that Pilate was
amazed.<br />
</span><span style="font-family: TimesNewRomanPS;">N</span><span style="font-family: TimesNewRomanPS; vertical-align: 3pt;">1 </span><span style="font-family: TimesNewRomanPS; font-style: italic;">–</span><span style="font-family: TimesNewRomanPS;">Now on the occasion of
</span><span style="font-family: TimesNewRomanPS;">the feast Pilate used to release
</span><span style="font-family: TimesNewRomanPS;">to them one prisoner whom
they requested. A man called
Barabbas was then in prison
</span><span style="font-family: TimesNewRomanPS;">along with the rebels who had
committed murder in a rebellion. The crowd came forward
</span><span style="font-family: TimesNewRomanPS;">and began to ask Pilate to do
</span><span style="font-family: TimesNewRomanPS;">for them as he was accustomed. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: TimesNewRomanPS;">N</span><span style="font-family: TimesNewRomanPS; vertical-align: 3pt;">2 </span><span style="font-family: TimesNewRomanPS; font-style: italic;">–</span><span style="font-family: TimesNewRomanPS;">Pilate answered,<br />
</span><span style="font-family: TimesNewRomanPS;">P –“Do you want me to release to you the king of the
</span><span style="font-family: TimesNewRomanPS;">Jews?”<br />
</span><span style="font-family: TimesNewRomanPS;">N</span><span style="font-family: TimesNewRomanPS; vertical-align: 3pt;">1 </span><span style="font-family: TimesNewRomanPS; font-style: italic;">–</span><span style="font-family: TimesNewRomanPS;">For he knew that it was
out of envy that the chief
</span><span style="font-family: TimesNewRomanPS;">priests had handed him over.
But the chief priests stirred up
the crowd to have him release
Barabbas for them instead.
</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: TimesNewRomanPS;">Pilate again said to them in
reply,
</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: TimesNewRomanPS;">P </span><span style="font-family: TimesNewRomanPS; font-style: italic;">–</span><span style="font-family: TimesNewRomanPS;">“Then what do you want
me to do with the man you call
the king of the Jews?”<br />
</span><span style="font-family: TimesNewRomanPSMT;">(</span><span style="font-family: TimesNewRomanPS;">N</span><span style="font-family: TimesNewRomanPS; vertical-align: 3pt;">1 </span><span style="font-family: TimesNewRomanPS; font-style: italic;">–</span><span style="font-family: TimesNewRomanPSMT;">They shouted repeatedly,) </span></p><p><span style="font-family: TimesNewRomanPS;">C </span><span style="font-family: TimesNewRomanPS; font-style: italic;">–</span><span style="font-family: TimesNewRomanPS;">“Crucify him!”
</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: TimesNewRomanPSMT;">(</span><span style="font-family: TimesNewRomanPS;">N</span><span style="font-family: TimesNewRomanPS; vertical-align: 3pt;">1 </span><span style="font-family: TimesNewRomanPS; font-style: italic;">–</span><span style="font-family: TimesNewRomanPSMT;">Pilate said to them,)<br />
</span><span style="font-family: TimesNewRomanPS;">P </span><span style="font-family: TimesNewRomanPS; font-style: italic;">–</span><span style="font-family: TimesNewRomanPS;">“Why? What evil has he
done?”<br />
</span><span style="font-family: TimesNewRomanPS;">N</span><span style="font-family: TimesNewRomanPS; vertical-align: 3pt;">1 </span><span style="font-family: TimesNewRomanPS; font-style: italic;">–</span><span style="font-family: TimesNewRomanPS;">They only shouted the
</span><span style="font-family: TimesNewRomanPS;">louder,<br />
C </span><span style="font-family: TimesNewRomanPS; font-style: italic;">–</span><span style="font-family: TimesNewRomanPS;">“Crucify him!”<br />
N</span><span style="font-family: TimesNewRomanPS; vertical-align: 3pt;">2 </span><span style="font-family: TimesNewRomanPS; font-style: italic;">–</span><span style="font-family: TimesNewRomanPS;">So Pilate, wishing to satisfy the crowd, released Barabbas
to them and, after he had Jesus
</span><span style="font-family: TimesNewRomanPS;">scourged, handed him over to
</span><span style="font-family: TimesNewRomanPS;">be cruci</span><span style="font-family: TimesNewRomanPS;">fi</span><span style="font-family: TimesNewRomanPS;">ed.

</span><span style="font-family: TimesNewRomanPS;">inside the palace, that is, the
praetorium, and assembled
</span><span style="font-family: TimesNewRomanPS;">the whole cohort. They clothed
</span><span style="font-family: TimesNewRomanPS;">him in purple and, weaving a
crown of thorns, placed it on
</span><span style="font-family: TimesNewRomanPS;">him. They began to salute him
with,
</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: TimesNewRomanPSMT;">S </span><span style="font-family: TimesNewRomanPS; font-style: italic;">–</span><span style="font-family: TimesNewRomanPS;">“Hail, King of the Jews!” </span></p><p><span style="font-family: TimesNewRomanPS;">N</span><span style="font-family: TimesNewRomanPS; vertical-align: 3pt;">2 </span><span style="font-family: TimesNewRomanPS; font-style: italic;">–</span><span style="font-family: TimesNewRomanPS;">and kept striking his
head with a reed and spitting
upon him. They knelt before
</span><span style="font-family: TimesNewRomanPS;">him in homage.
</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: TimesNewRomanPS;">And when they had mock</span><span style="font-family: TimesNewRomanPS;">ed him, they stripped him of
</span><span style="font-family: TimesNewRomanPS;">the purple cloak, dressed him
in his own clothes, and led him
out to crucify him.<br />
N</span><span style="font-family: TimesNewRomanPS; vertical-align: 3pt;">1 </span><span style="font-family: TimesNewRomanPS; font-style: italic;">–</span><span style="font-family: TimesNewRomanPS;">They pressed into service
a passerby, Simon, a Cyrenian,
</span><span style="font-family: TimesNewRomanPS;">who was coming in from the
</span><span style="font-family: TimesNewRomanPS;">country, the father of Alexan</span><span style="font-family: TimesNewRomanPS;">der and Rufus, to carry his
cross. They brought him to
the place called </span><span style="font-family: TimesNewRomanPS; font-style: italic;">Golgotha </span><span style="font-family: TimesNewRomanPS;">–
which is translated “Place of
</span><span style="font-family: TimesNewRomanPS;">the Skull.”
</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: TimesNewRomanPS;">They gave him wine
drugged with myrrh, but he
</span><span style="font-family: TimesNewRomanPS;">did not take it. Then they cruci</span><span style="font-family: TimesNewRomanPS;">fi</span><span style="font-family: TimesNewRomanPS;">ed him and divided his gar-
ments by casting lots for them
to see what each should take.
</span></p>
</div>
</div>
</div><p><span style="font-family: TimesNewRomanPS;">It was nine o’clock in the
morning when they cruci</span><span style="font-family: TimesNewRomanPS;">fi</span><span style="font-family: TimesNewRomanPS;">ed

</span><span style="font-family: TimesNewRomanPS;">charge against him read, “The

But they mocked the messengers of God, despised his
warnings, and sco</span><span style="font-family: TimesNewRomanPS;">ff</span><span style="font-family: TimesNewRomanPS;">ed at his
</span><span style="font-family: TimesNewRomanPS;">prophets, until the anger of the

so in</span><span style="font-family: TimesNewRomanPS;">fl</span><span style="font-family: TimesNewRomanPS;">amed that there was no
</span><span style="font-family: TimesNewRomanPS;">remedy. Their enemies burned
the house of God, tore down the
</span><span style="font-family: TimesNewRomanPS;">walls of Jerusalem, set all its
</span><span style="font-family: TimesNewRomanPS;">palaces a</span><span style="font-family: TimesNewRomanPS;">fi</span><span style="font-family: TimesNewRomanPS;">re, and destroyed all
its precious objects. Those who
escaped the sword were carried
captive to </span><span style="font-family: TimesNewRomanPS; font-style: italic;">Babylon</span><span style="font-family: TimesNewRomanPS;">, where they
became servants of the king of
the </span><span style="font-family: TimesNewRomanPS; font-style: italic;">Chaldeans </span><span style="font-family: TimesNewRomanPS;">and his sons un-

<p><span style="font-family: TimesNewRomanPS;"><span style="font-weight: 700;"> </span>Jesus said to </span><span style="font-family: TimesNewRomanPS; font-style: italic;">Nicodemus:
</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: TimesNewRomanPS;"><span> </span>“Just as Moses lifted up </span><span style="font-family: TimesNewRomanPS; font-style: italic;">the
serpent </span><span style="font-family: TimesNewRomanPS;">in the desert, so must

</span><span style="font-family: TimesNewRomanPS;">him may have eternal life.”
</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: TimesNewRomanPS;"><span> </span>For God so loved the world
</span><span style="font-family: TimesNewRomanPS;">that he gave his only Son, so
that everyone who believes in
</span><span style="font-family: TimesNewRomanPS;">him might not perish but might
</span><span style="font-family: TimesNewRomanPS;">have eternal life. For God did
</span><span style="font-family: TimesNewRomanPS;">not send his Son into the world
</span><span style="font-family: TimesNewRomanPS;">to condemn the world, but
that the world might be saved
</span><span style="font-family: TimesNewRomanPS;">through him.
</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: TimesNewRomanPS;"><span> </span>Whoever believes in him
will not be condemned, but
whoever does not believe has
already been condemned, be-
</span><span style="font-family: TimesNewRomanPS;">cause he has not believed in the
name of the only Son of God.
</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: TimesNewRomanPS;"><span> </span>And this is the verdict, that
</span><span style="font-family: TimesNewRomanPS;">the </span><span style="font-family: TimesNewRomanPS; font-style: italic;">light </span><span style="font-family: TimesNewRomanPS;">came into the world,
</span><span style="font-family: TimesNewRomanPS;">but people preferred darkness
</span><span style="font-family: TimesNewRomanPS;">to light, because their works
were evil. For everyone who
does wicked things hates the
</span><span style="font-family: TimesNewRomanPS;">light and does not come toward
</span><span style="font-family: TimesNewRomanPS;">the light, so that his works
</span><span style="font-family: TimesNewRomanPS;">might not be exposed. But whoever lives the truth comes to the
light, so that his works may be
clearly seen as done in God. </span></p>

<p><span style="font-family: TimesNewRomanPS; font-size: 11pt;"><span style="font-weight: 700;"> </span>Since the </span><span style="font-family: TimesNewRomanPS; font-size: 11pt; font-style: italic;">Passover </span><span style="font-family: TimesNewRomanPS; font-size: 11pt;">of the
Jews was near, Jesus went up
to Jerusalem. He found in the
</span><span style="font-family: TimesNewRomanPS; font-size: 11pt; font-style: italic;">temple </span><span style="font-family: TimesNewRomanPS; font-size: 11pt;">area those who sold
</span><span style="font-family: TimesNewRomanPS; font-size: 10pt;">oxen, sheep, and doves, as well
</span><span style="font-family: TimesNewRomanPS; font-size: 11pt;">as the money changers seated
there. He made a whip out of
cords and drove them all out
of the temple area, with the
</span><span style="font-family: TimesNewRomanPS; font-size: 10pt;">sheep and oxen, and spilled the
</span><span style="font-family: TimesNewRomanPS; font-size: 11pt;">coins of the money changers
</span><span style="font-family: TimesNewRomanPS; font-size: 10pt;">and overturned their tables. To
</span><span style="font-family: TimesNewRomanPS; font-size: 11pt;">those who sold doves he said,
“Take these out of here, and
</span><span style="font-family: TimesNewRomanPS; font-size: 10pt;">stop making my Father’s house
</span><span style="font-family: TimesNewRomanPS; font-size: 11pt;">a marketplace.” His disciples
recalled the words of Scrip</span><span style="font-family: TimesNewRomanPS; font-size: 10pt;">ture, </span><span style="font-family: TimesNewRomanPS; font-size: 10pt; font-style: italic;">“Zeal for your house will

</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: TimesNewRomanPS; font-size: 11pt;"><span> </span>At this the Jews answered
</span><span style="font-family: TimesNewRomanPS; font-size: 10pt;">and said to him, “What sign can
you show us for doing this?” Jesus answered and said to them,
</span><span style="font-family: TimesNewRomanPS; font-size: 11pt;">“Destroy this temple and in
three days I will raise it up.”
The Jews said, “This temple
has been under construction
for forty-six years, and you
will raise it up in three days?” </span></p>

<p><span style="font-family: TimesNewRomanPS; font-size: 11pt;"><span> </span>But Jesus was speaking
about the temple of his body.
</span><span style="font-family: TimesNewRomanPS; font-size: 10pt;">Therefore, when he was raised
</span><span style="font-family: TimesNewRomanPS; font-size: 11pt;">from the dead, his disciples
remembered that he had said
this, and they came to believe
the Scripture and the word
</span><span style="font-family: TimesNewRomanPS; font-size: 10pt;">Jesus had spoken.
</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: TimesNewRomanPS; font-size: 10pt;"><span> </span>While he was in Jerusalem
for the feast of Passover, many
</span><span style="font-family: TimesNewRomanPS; font-size: 11pt;">began to believe in his name
</span><span style="font-family: TimesNewRomanPS; font-size: 10pt;">when they saw the signs he was
</span><span style="font-family: TimesNewRomanPS; font-size: 11pt;">doing. But Jesus would not
trust himself to them because
</span><span style="font-family: TimesNewRomanPS; font-size: 10pt;">he knew them all, and did not
</span><span style="font-family: TimesNewRomanPS; font-size: 11pt;">need anyone to testify about
</span><span style="font-family: TimesNewRomanPS; font-size: 10pt;">human nature. He himself understood it well.

temple of the Lord where the ark
of God was. The Lord called to
Samuel, who answered, “Here I
am.” Samuel ran to Eli and said,
“Here I am. You called me.” “I
did not call you,” Eli said. “Go
back to sleep.” So he went back
to sleep. Again the Lord called
Samuel, who rose and went to
Eli. “Here I am,” he said. “You
called me.” But Eli answered, “I

<p><span style="font-family: TimesNewRomanPS;"><span> </span>At that time Samuel was
not familiar with the Lord,
because the Lord had not re-

The Lord called Samuel again,
for the third time. Getting up
and going to Eli, he said, “Here
I am. You called me.” Then Eli
understood that the Lord was
calling the youth. So he said to
Samuel, “Go to sleep, and if you
are called, reply, ‘Speak, Lord,
for your servant is listening.’ ”

Bethlehem of Judea, in the
days of King Herod, Magi
from the east arrived in Jerusalem, saying, “Where is the
newborn king of the Jews? We
saw his star at its rising and
have come to do him homage.”

this, he was greatly troubled,

Assembling all the chief
priests and the scribes of the
people, he inquired of them
where the Christ was to be
born. They said to him, “In
Bethlehem of Judea, for thus
it has been written through
the prophet: ‘And you, Bethlehem, land of Judah, are by
no means least among the rulers of Judah, since from you
shall come a ruler, who is to
shepherd my people Israel.’ ”
</p>
<p><span> </span>Then Herod called the
Magi secretly and ascertained
from them the time of the
star’ s appearance. He sent
them to Bethlehem and said,
“Go and search diligently
for the child. When you have
found him, bring me word, thatItoomaygoanddohim
homage.”</p>

And behold, the star that
they had seen at its rising pre-
ceded them, until it came and
stopped over the place where
the child was. The Magi were
overjoyed at seeing the star,
and on entering the house,
they saw the child with Mary
his mother. They prostrated
themselves and did him hom-
age. Then they opened their
treasures and offered him
gifts of gold, frankincense, and
myrrh.

in a dream not to return to
Herod, they departed for their

</span><span style="font-family: TimesNewRomanPS;">according to the law of Moses,
Joseph and Mary took the baby

it is written in the law of the
Lord, </span><span style="font-family: TimesNewRomanPS; font-style: italic;">“E</span><span style="font-family: TimesNewRomanPS;">v</span><span style="font-family: TimesNewRomanPS; font-style: italic;">ery male that opens

accordance with the dictate in
the law of the Lord.
</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: TimesNewRomanPS;"><span> </span>Now there was a man in
Jerusalem whose name was </span><span style="font-family: TimesNewRomanPS;">Simeon. This man was righteous and devout, awaiting the
consolation of Israel, and the
Holy Spirit was upon him. It
had been revealed to him by
the Holy Spirit that he should
not see death before he had
seen the Christ of the Lord.
He came in the Spirit into the
</span><span style="font-family: TimesNewRomanPS;">temple. And when the parents
</span><span style="font-family: TimesNewRomanPS;">brought in the child Jesus to
</span><span style="font-family: TimesNewRomanPS;">perform the custom of the law
</span><span style="font-family: TimesNewRomanPS;">in regard to him, he took him
</span><span style="font-family: TimesNewRomanPS;">into his arms and blessed God,
saying: “Now, Master, you may
</span><span style="font-family: TimesNewRomanPS;">let your servant go in peace,
</span><span style="font-family: TimesNewRomanPS;">according to your word, for my
eyes have seen your salvation,
</span><span style="font-family: TimesNewRomanPS;">which you prepared in sight
of all the peoples, a light for
</span><span style="font-family: TimesNewRomanPS;">revelation to the Gentiles, and
</span><span style="font-family: TimesNewRomanPS;">glory for your people Israel.”
The child’s father and mother were amazed at what was
said about him; and Simeon
</span><span style="font-family: TimesNewRomanPS;">blessed them and said to Mary
his mother, “Behold, this child
is destined for the fall and rise
</span><span style="font-family: TimesNewRomanPS;">of many in Israel, and to be a
sign that will be contradicted
</span><span style="font-family: TimesNewRomanPS;">– and you yourself a sword will
pierce – so that the thoughts of
many hearts may be revealed.”</span></p>

and then as a widow until she

</span><span style="font-family: TimesNewRomanPS;">night and day with fasting and
prayer. And coming forward at
that very time, she gave thanks

<p><span style="font-family: TimesNewRomanPS;"><b> </b> A man named John was
sent from God. He came for
testimony, to testify to the

</span><span style="font-family: TimesNewRomanPS;">through him. He was not the

<div class="page" title="Page 2">

<p><span style="font-family: TimesNewRomanPS;"><span> </span>And this is the testimony
of John. When the Jews from
Jerusalem sent priests and
Levites to him to ask him,
“Who are you?” he admitted
and did not deny it, but ad-
mitted, “I am not </span><span style="font-family: TimesNewRomanPS; font-style: italic;">the Christ</span><span style="font-family: TimesNewRomanPS;">.”
</span><span style="font-family: TimesNewRomanPS;">So they asked him, “What are
</span><span style="font-family: TimesNewRomanPS;">you then? Are you </span><span style="font-family: TimesNewRomanPS; font-style: italic;">Elijah</span><span style="font-family: TimesNewRomanPS;">?”
</span><span style="font-family: TimesNewRomanPS;">And he said, “I am not.” “Are
</span><span style="font-family: TimesNewRomanPS;">you </span><span style="font-family: TimesNewRomanPS; font-style: italic;">the Prophet</span><span style="font-family: TimesNewRomanPS;">?” He answered, “No.” So they said to
</span><span style="font-family: TimesNewRomanPS;">him, “Who are you, so we can
</span><span style="font-family: TimesNewRomanPS;">give an answer to those who
sent us? What do you have to
say about yourself?” He said:
</span><span style="font-family: TimesNewRomanPS;">“ ‘I am the voice of one crying
out in the desert, make straight
the way of the Lord,’ as Isaiah
the prophet said.”
</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: TimesNewRomanPS;"><span> </span>Some Pharisees were also
</span><span style="font-family: TimesNewRomanPS;">sent. They asked him, “Why
then do you baptize if you are
</span><span style="font-family: TimesNewRomanPS;">not the Christ or Elijah or the
</span><span style="font-family: TimesNewRomanPS;">Prophet?” John answered
them, “I baptize with water;
but there is one among you
whom you do not recognize,
</span><span style="font-family: TimesNewRomanPS;">the one who is coming after me,
</span><span style="font-family: TimesNewRomanPS;">whose sandal strap I am not
</span><span style="font-family: TimesNewRomanPS;">worthy to untie.”

eaten of the tree, the Lord God
called to the man and asked
him, “Where are you?” He
answered, “I heard you in
the garden; but I was afraid,
because I was naked, so I hid
myself.” Then the Lord God
asked, “Who told you that
you were naked? You have
eaten, then, from the tree of
which I had forbidden you to
eat!” The man replied, “ The
woman whom you put here
with me - she gave me fruit
from the tree, and so I ate it.”
The Lord God then asked
the woman, “Why did you do
such a thing?” The woman answered, “The serpent tricked
me into it, so I ate it.”
</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 11pt;"><span> </span>Then the Lord God said
to the serpent: “Because you
have done this, you shall be
banned from all the animals
and from all the wild creatures; on your belly shall you
crawl, and dirt shall you eat all
the days of your life.
</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 11pt;"> I will put enmity between
you and the woman, and be-
tween your offspring and hers;
he will strike at your head,
while you strike at his heel.”
The man called his wife Eve,
because she became the mother of all the living.

from God to a town of Galilee
called Nazareth, to a virgin
betrothed to a man named
Joseph, of the house of David.
The virgin’s name was Mary.

“Hail, full of grace! The Lord
is with you.” But Mary was
greatly troubled at what was
said and pondered what sort
of greeting this might be. Then
the angel said to her: “Do not
be afraid, Mary, for you have
found favor with God. Behold, you will conceive in your
womb and bear a son, and you
shall name him Jesus. He will
be great and will be called Son
of the Most High, and the Lord
God will give him the throne
of David his father, and he will
rule over the house of Jacob
forever, and of his kingdom
there will be no end.”

“How can this be, since I have
no relations with a man?”
The angel said to her in reply:
“The Holy Spirit will come
upon you, and the power of
the Most High will overshadow you. Therefore the child to
be born will be called holy, the
Son of God. And behold, Elizabeth, your relative, has also </span><span style="font-size: 11pt;">conceived a son in her old age,

her who was called barren; for

those who have fallen asleep.
</span><span style="font-family: TimesNewRomanPS;">For since death came through

in proper order: Christ the

reign until he has put all his
enemies under his feet. The
last enemy to be destroyed

subjected to him, then the Son
himself will also be subjected

<p><span style="font-family: TimesNewRomanPS;">Jesus told his disciples this
</span><span style="font-family: TimesNewRomanPS;">parable: “A man going on a
journey called in his servants
and entrusted his possessions
</span><span style="font-family: TimesNewRomanPS;">to them. To one he gave </span><span style="font-family: TimesNewRomanPS;">fi</span><span style="font-family: TimesNewRomanPS;">ve talents; to another, two; to a third,
</span><span style="font-family: TimesNewRomanPS;">one – to each according to his
</span><span style="font-family: TimesNewRomanPS;">ability. Then he went away.
</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: TimesNewRomanPS;">Immediately, the one who
received </span><span style="font-family: TimesNewRomanPS;">fi</span><span style="font-family: TimesNewRomanPS;">ve talents went and
traded with them, and made
</span><span style="font-family: TimesNewRomanPS;">another </span><span style="font-family: TimesNewRomanPS;">fi</span><span style="font-family: TimesNewRomanPS;">ve. Likewise, the one
who received two made another
two. But the man who received
</span><span style="font-family: TimesNewRomanPS;">one went o</span><span style="font-family: TimesNewRomanPS;">ff </span><span style="font-family: TimesNewRomanPS;">and dug a hole in
</span><span style="font-family: TimesNewRomanPS;">the ground and buried his master’s money.
</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: TimesNewRomanPS;">After a long time the master
of those servants came back and
settled accounts with them. The
one who had received </span><span style="font-family: TimesNewRomanPS;">fi</span><span style="font-family: TimesNewRomanPS;">ve talents
came forward bringing the additional </span><span style="font-family: TimesNewRomanPS;">fi</span><span style="font-family: TimesNewRomanPS;">ve. He said, ‘Master, you
gave me </span><span style="font-family: TimesNewRomanPS;">fi</span><span style="font-family: TimesNewRomanPS;">ve talents. See, I have
made </span><span style="font-family: TimesNewRomanPS;">fi</span><span style="font-family: TimesNewRomanPS;">ve more.’ His master said
to him, ‘Well done, my good and
faithful servant. Since you were
</span><span style="font-family: TimesNewRomanPS;">faithful in small matters, I will
give you great responsibilities.
</span><span style="font-family: TimesNewRomanPS;">Come, share your master’s joy.’
</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: TimesNewRomanPS;">Then the one who had re</span><span style="font-family: TimesNewRomanPS;">ceived two talents also came
forward and said, ‘Master,
you gave me two talents. See,
I have made two more.’ His
</span><span style="font-family: TimesNewRomanPS;">master said to him, ‘Well done,
</span><span style="font-family: TimesNewRomanPS;">my good and faithful servant.
</span><span style="font-family: TimesNewRomanPS;">Since you were faithful in small
</span><span style="font-family: TimesNewRomanPS;">matters, I will give you great
responsibilities. Come, share
</span><span style="font-family: TimesNewRomanPS;">your master’s joy.’</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: TimesNewRomanPS;">Then the one who had received the one talent came for-
ward and said, ‘Master, I knew
you were a demanding person,
</span><span style="font-family: TimesNewRomanPS;">harvesting where you did not
</span><span style="font-family: TimesNewRomanPS;">plant and gathering where you
</span><span style="font-family: TimesNewRomanPS;">did not scatter. So out of fear,
</span><span style="font-family: TimesNewRomanPS;">I went o</span><span style="font-family: TimesNewRomanPS;">ff </span><span style="font-family: TimesNewRomanPS;">and buried your tal</span><span style="font-family: TimesNewRomanPS;">ent in the ground. Here it is
back.’ His master said to him
</span><span style="font-family: TimesNewRomanPS;">in reply, ‘You wicked, lazy ser</span><span style="font-family: TimesNewRomanPS;">vant! So you knew that I har</span><span style="font-family: TimesNewRomanPS;">vest where I did not plant and
gather where I did not scatter?
</span><span style="font-family: TimesNewRomanPS;">Should you not then have put
</span><span style="font-family: TimesNewRomanPS;">my money in the bank so that I
could have got it back with interest on my return? Now then!
</span><span style="font-family: TimesNewRomanPS;">Take the talent from him and
</span><span style="font-family: TimesNewRomanPS;">give it to the one with ten. For
to everyone who has, more will
be given and he will grow rich;
but from the one who has not,
even what he has will be taken
</span><span style="font-family: TimesNewRomanPS;">away. And throw this useless
</span><span style="font-family: TimesNewRomanPS;">servant into the darkness outside, where there will be wailing and grinding of teeth.’ ”</span><span style="font-family: TimesNewRomanPS;"> </span></p>
