Tuesday of the Seventh week of Easter

Tuesday of the Seventh week of Easter

1. Reading

Acts of the Apostles

20,17-27.

]From Miletus Paul had the presbyters of the Church at Ephesus summoned.
]When they came to him, he addressed them, "You know how I lived among you the whole time from the day I first came to the province of Asia.
]I served the Lord with all humility and with the tears and trials that came to me because of the plots of the Jews,
]and I did not at all shrink from telling you what was for your benefit, or from teaching you in public or in your homes.
]I earnestly bore witness for both Jews and Greeks to repentance before God and to faith in our Lord Jesus.
]But now, compelled by the Spirit, I am going to Jerusalem. What will happen to me there I do not know,
]except that in one city after another the holy Spirit has been warning me that imprisonment and hardships await me.
]Yet I consider life of no importance to me, if only I may finish my course and the ministry that I received from the Lord Jesus, to bear witness to the gospel of God's grace.
]"But now I know that none of you to whom I preached the kingdom during my travels will ever see my face again.
]And so I solemnly declare to you this day that I am not responsible for the blood of any of you,
]for I did not shrink from proclaiming to you the entire plan of God."

Psalm

Psalms

68(67),10-11.20-21.

]A bountiful rain you showered down, O God, upon your inheritance;
you restored the land when it languished;
]your flock settled in it;
in your goodness, O God, you provided it for the needy.
]Blessed day by day be the Lord,
who bears our burdens; God, who is our salvation.
]God is a saving God for us;
the LORD, my Lord, controls the passageways of death.

Gospel

Holy Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Saint John

17,1-11a.

]Jesus raised his eyes to heaven and said, "Father, the hour has come. Give glory to your son, so that your son may glorify you,
]just as you gave him authority over all people, so that he may give eternal life to all you gave him.
]Now this is eternal life, that they should know you, the only true God, and the one whom you sent, Jesus Christ.
]I glorified you on earth by accomplishing the work that you gave me to do.
]Now glorify me, Father, with you, with the glory that I had with you before the world began.
]I revealed your name to those whom you gave me out of the world. They belonged to you, and you gave them to me, and they have kept your word.
]Now they know that everything you gave me is from you,
]because the words you gave to me I have given to them, and they accepted them and truly understood that I came from you, and they have believed that you sent me.
]I pray for them. I do not pray for the world but for the ones you have given me, because they are yours,
]and everything of mine is yours and everything of yours is mine, and I have been glorified in them.
]And now I will no longer be in the world, but they are in the world, while I am coming to you. Holy Father, keep them in your name that you have given me, so that they may be one just as we are."
