Scripture Readings

Acts 25.13-19 (Epistle)

13A pošto proðe nekoliko dana, Agripa car i Vernikija siðoše u Æesariju da pohode Fista. 14I buduæi da ondje mnogo dana ostaše, kaza Fist caru za Pavla govoreæi: èovjeka jednoga ostavio je Filiks u tamnici, 15Za kojega, kad ja bijah u Jerusalimu, iziðoše preda me glavari sveštenièki i starješine Jevrejske moleæi da ga osudim. 16Ja im odgovorih da nije obièaj u Rimljana da se prije pokloni kakav èovjek na smrt dok se optuženi ne suoèi s onima koji ga tuže, i ne primi mjesto da odgovara za svoju krivicu. 17A kad se oni ovdje sastaše, nikakvoga odlaganja ne uèinih, i sjutradan sjedavši na sudijnsku stolicu zapovjedih da dovedu èovjeka. 18A oko njega stavši suparnici ni jedne krivice koje ja mišljah ne iznesoše. 19Nego imahu protiv njega nekakva pitanja o svojemu sujevjerju, i o nekakvom Isusu, koji je umro pa Pavle govoraše da je živ.

John 16.23-33 (Gospel)

23I u onaj dan neæete me pitati ni za što. Zaista, zaista vam kažem da što god uzištete u oca u ime moje, daæe vam. 24Doslije ne iskaste ništa u ime moje; ištite i primiæete, da radost vaša bude ispunjena. 25Ovo vam govorih u prièama; ali æe doæi vrijeme kad vam više neæu govoriti u prièama, nego æu vam upravo javiti za oca. 26U onaj æete dan u ime moje zaiskati, i ne velim vam da æu ja umoliti oca za vas; 27Jer sam otac ima ljubav k vama kao što vi imaste ljubav k meni, i vjerovaste da ja od Boga iziðoh. 28Iziðoh od oca, i doðoh na svijet; i opet ostavljam svijet, i idem k ocu. 29Rekoše mu uèenici njegovi: eto sad upravo govoriš, a prièe nikakve ne govoriš. 30Sad znamo da sve znaš, i ne treba ti da te ko pita. Po tome vjerujemo da si od Boga izišao. 31Isus im odgovori: zar sad vjerujete? 32Evo ide èas, i veæ je nastao, da se razbjegnete svaki na svoju stranu i mene sama ostavite; ali nijesam sam, jer je otac sa mnom. 33Ovo vam kazah, da u meni mir imate. U svijetu æete imati nevolju; ali ne bojte se, jer ja nadvladah svijet.

Commemorations

Hieromartyr Patrick, bishop of Prusa, and three priests with him (3rd c?)

‘Saint Patrick was Bishop of Prusa, a city in Bythinia (the present-day Brusa or Bursa). Because of his Christian faith, he was brought before Julius (or Julian) the Consul, who in his attempts to persuade Patrick to worship as he himself did, declared that thanks was owed to the gods for providing the hot springs welling up from the earth for the benefit of men. Saint Patrick answered that thanks for this was owed to our Lord Jesus Christ, and explained that when He, Who is God, created the earth, He made it with both fire and water, and the fire under the earth heats the water which wells up, producing hot springs; he then explained that there is another fire, which awaits the ungodly. Because of this, he was cast into the hot springs, but it was the soldiers who cast him in, and not he, who were harmed by the hot water. After this St Patrick was beheaded with the presbyters Acacius, Menander, and Polyaenus. Most likely this was during the reign of Diocletian (284-305).’ (Great Horologion)
