First ReadingEzekiel 47:1-9, 12

From the Book of Ezekiel

1He brought me back to the door of the temple;and behold, waters flowed out from under the threshold of the temple eastward,for the front of the temple faced toward the east.The waters came down from underneath,from the right side of the temple,on the south of the altar.2Then he brought me out by the way of the gate northward,and led me around by the way outside to the outer gate,by the way of the gate that looks toward the east.Behold, waters ran out on the right side.

3When the man went out eastward with the line in his hand,he measured one thousand cubits,and he caused me to pass through the waters,waters that were to the ankles.4Again he measured one thousand,and caused me to pass through the waters,waters that were to the knees.Again he measured one thousand,and caused me to pass through watersthat were to the waist.5Afterward he measured one thousand;and it was a river that I could not pass through,for the waters had risen,waters to swim in,a river that could not be walked through.

6He said to me, “Son of man, have you seen this?”

Then he brought meand caused me to return to the bank of the river.7Now when I had returned,behold, on the bank of the river were very many trees on the one side and on the other.8Then he said to me,“These waters flow out toward the eastern regionand will go down into the Arabah.Then they will go toward the seaand flow into the sea which will be made to flow out;and the waters will be healed.9It will happen that every living creature which swarms,in every place where the rivers come, will live.Then there will be a very great multitude of fish;for these waters have come there,and the waters of the sea will be healed,and everything will live wherever the river comes. verses 10–11 are not read12By the river banks,on both sides, will grow every tree for food,whose leaf won’t wither,neither will its fruit fail.It will produce new fruit every month,because its waters issue out of the sanctuary.Its fruit will be for food, and its leaf for healing.”

Responsorial PsalmPsalm 46:2-3, 5-6, 8-9

2God is our refuge and strength,a very present help in trouble.3Therefore we won’t be afraid, though the earth changes,though the mountains are shaken into the heart of the seas;

5There is a river, the streams of which make the city of God glad,the holy place of the tents of the Most High.6God is within her. She shall not be moved.God will help her at dawn.

8The Lord of Armies is with us.The God of Jacob is our refuge.9Come, see the Lord’s works,what desolations he has made on the earth.

GospelJohn 5:1-16

From the Gospel according to John

1After these things,there was a feast of the Jews,and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.2Now in Jerusalem by the sheep gate,there is a pool, which is called in Hebrew,“Bethesda”, having five porches.3In these lay a great multitude of those who were sick,blind, lame, or paralyzed,waiting for the moving of the water;5A certain man was therewho had been sick for thirty-eight years.6When Jesus saw him lying there,and knew that he had been sick for a long time,he asked him, “Do you want to be made well?”

7The sick man answered him,“Sir, I have no one to put me into the poolwhen the water is stirred up,but while I’m coming,another steps down before me.”

8Jesus said to him, “Arise, take up your mat, and walk.”

9Immediately, the man was made well,and took up his mat and walked.

Now that day was a Sabbath.10So the Jews said to him who was cured, “It is the Sabbath.It is not lawful for you to carry the mat.”

11He answered them, “He who made me well said to me,‘Take up your mat and walk.’ ”

12Then they asked him,“Who is the man who said to you,‘Take up your mat and walk’?”

13But he who was healed didn’t know who it was,for Jesus had withdrawn,a crowd being in the place.

14Afterward Jesus found him in the temple and said to him,“Behold, you are made well.Sin no more, so that nothing worse happens to you.”

15The man went away,and told the Jews that it was Jesus who had made him well.16For this cause the Jews persecuted Jesusand sought to kill him,because he did these things on the Sabbath.

EpistleLectio

Léctio libri Exodi.

Exod 32:7-14

In diébus illis: Locútus est Dóminus ad Móysen, dicens: Descénde de monte: peccávit pópulus tuus, quem eduxísti de terra Ægýpti. Recessérunt cito de via, quam ostendísti eis: fecerúntque sibi vítulum conflátilem, et adoravérunt, atque immolántes ei hóstias, dixérunt: Isti sunt dii tui, Israël, qui te eduxérunt de terra Ægýpti. Rursúmque ait Dóminus ad Móysen: Cerno, quod pópulus iste duræ cervícis sit: dimítte me, ut irascátur furor meus contra eos, et déleam eos, faciámque te in gentem magnam. Móyses autem orábat Dóminum, Deum suum, dicens: Cur, Dómine, iráscitur furor tuus contra pópulum tuum, quem eduxísti de terra Ægýpti in fortitúdine magna et in manu robústa? Ne quæro dicant Ægýptii: Cállide edúxit eos, ut interfíceret in móntibus et deléret e terra: quiéscat ira tua, et esto placábilis super nequítia pópuli tui. Recordáre Abraham, Isaac et Israël, servórum tuórum, quibus jurásti per temetípsum, dicens: Multiplicábo semen vestrum sicut stellas cœli: et univérsam terram hanc, de qua locútus sum, dabo sémini vestro, et possidébitis eam semper. Placatúsque est Dóminus, ne fáceret malum, quod locútus fúerat advérsus pópulum suum.

Lesson from the book of Exodus

Ex 32:7-14

In those days, the Lord said to Moses, Go down from the mountain to your people, whom you brought out of the land of Egypt, for they have become depraved. They have soon turned aside from the way I pointed out to them, making for themselves a molten calf and worshipping it, sacrificing to it and crying out, ‘This is your God, O Israel, Who brought you out of the land of Egypt!’ I see how stiff-necked this people is, continued the Lord to Moses. Let Me alone, then, that My wrath may blaze up against them to consume them. Then I will make of you a great nation. But Moses implored the Lord, his God, saying, Why, O Lord, should Your wrath blaze up against Your own people, whom You brought out of the land of Egypt with such great power and with so strong a hand? Why should the Egyptians say, ‘With evil intent He brought them out, that He might kill them in the mountains and exterminate them from the face of the earth’? Let Your blazing wrath die down; relent in punishing Your people. Remember Your servants Abraham, Isaac and Israel, and how You swore to them by Your own self, saying, ‘I will make your descendants as numerous as the stars in the sky; and all this land that I promised, I will give your descendants as their perpetual heritage.’ So the Lord relented in the punishment He had threatened to inflict on His people.

Sequéntia ☩ sancti Evangélii secúndum Joánnem.

Joann 7:14-31

In illo témpore: Jam die festo mediánte, ascéndit Jesus in templum, et docébat. Et mirabántur Judǽi, dicéntes: Quómodo hic lítteras scit, cum non didícerit? Respóndit eis Jesus et dixit: Mea doctrína non est mea, sed ejus, qui misit me. Si quis volúerit voluntátem ejus fácere, cognóscet de doctrína, utrum ex Deo sit, an ego a meípso loquar. Qui a semetípso lóquitur, glóriam própriam quærit. Qui autem quærit glóriam ejus, qui misit eum, hic verax est, et injustítia in illo non est. Nonne Móyses dedit vobis legem: et nemo ex vobis facit legem? quid me quǽritis interfícere ? Respóndit turba, et dixit: Dæmónium habes: quis te quærit interfícere ? Respóndit Jesus et dixit eis: Unum opus feci, et omnes mirámini. Proptérea Móyses dedit vobis circumcisiónem -non quia ex Móyse est, sed ex pátribus: - et in sábbato circumcíditis hóminem. Si circumcisiónem áccipit homo in sábbato, ut non solvátur lex Móysi: mihi indignámini, quia totum hóminem sanum feci in sábbato? Nolíte judicáre secúndum fáciem, sed justum judícium judicáte. Dicébant ergo quidam ex Jerosólymis: Nonne hic est, quem quærunt interfícere ? Et ecce, palam lóquitur, et nihil ei dicunt. Numquid vere cognovérunt príncipes, quia hic est Christus? Sed hunc scimus, unde sit: Christus autem, cum vénerit, nemo scit, unde sit. Clamábat ergo Jesus in templo docens, et dicens: Et me scitis et, unde sim, scitis, et a meípso non veni, sed est verus, qui misit me, quem vos nescítis. Ego scio eum, quia ab ipso sum, et ipse me misit. Quærébant ergo eum apprehéndere: et nemo misit in illum manus, quia nondum vénerat hora ejus. De turba autem multi credidérunt in eum.

Continuation of the Holy Gospel according to John

John 7:14-31

At that time, when the feast was already half over, Jesus went up into the temple and began to teach. And the Jews marveled, saying, How does this man come by learning, since He has not studied? Jesus answered them and said, My teaching is not My own, but His Who sent Me. If anyone desires to do His will, he will know of the teaching whether it is from God, or whether I speak on My own authority. He who speaks on his own authority seeks his own glory. But he who seeks the glory of the one who sent him is truthful, and there is no injustice in him. Did not Moses give you the Law, and none of you observes the Law? Why do you seek to put Me to death? The crowd answered and said, You have a devil. Who seeks to put You to death? Jesus answered and said to them, One work I did and you all wonder. For this reason Moses gave you the circumcision -- not that it is from Moses, but from the fathers -- and on a Sabbath you circumcise a man. If a man receives circumcision on a Sabbath, that the Law of Moses may not be broken, are you indignant with me because I made a whole man well on a Sabbath? Judge not by appearances but give just judgment. Some therefore of the people of Jerusalem were saying, Is not this the man they seek to kill? And behold, He speaks openly and they say nothing to Him. Can it be that the rulers have really come to know that this is the Christ? Yet we know where this man is from; but when the Christ comes, no one will know where He is from. Jesus therefore, while teaching in the temple, cried out and said, You both know Me, and know where I am from. Yet I have not come of Myself, but He is true Who has sent Me, whom you do not know. I know Him because I am from Him, and He sent Me. They wanted therefore to seize Him, but no one laid hands on Him because His hour had not yet come. Many of the people, however, believed in Him.

It is truly meet and just, right and for our salvation, that we should at all times, and in all places, give thanks unto Thee, O holy Lord, Father almighty, everlasting God; Who by this bodily fast, dost curb our vices, dost lift up our minds and bestow on us strength and rewards; through Christ our Lord. Through whom the Angels praise Thy Majesty, the Dominations worship it, the Powers stand in awe. The Heavens and the heavenly hosts together with the blessed Seraphim in triumphant chorus unite to celebrate it. Together with these we entreat Thee that Thou mayest bid our voices also to be admitted while we say with lowly praise:
