Tuesday of the Fourth week of Easter

1. Reading

Acts of the Apostles

11,19-26.

]Those who had been scattered by the persecution that arose because of Stephen went as far as Phoenicia, Cyprus, and Antioch, preaching the word to no one but Jews.
]There were some Cypriots and Cyrenians among them, however, who came to Antioch and began to speak to the Greeks as well, proclaiming the Lord Jesus.
]The hand of the Lord was with them and a great number who believed turned to the Lord.
]The news about them reached the ears of the church in Jerusalem, and they sent Barnabas to go to Antioch.
]When he arrived and saw the grace of God, he rejoiced and encouraged them all to remain faithful to the Lord in firmness of heart,
]for he was a good man, filled with the Holy Spirit and faith. And a large number of people was added to the Lord.
]Then he went to Tarsus to look for Saul,
]and when he had found him he brought him to Antioch. For a whole year they met with the church and taught a large number of people, and it was in Antioch that the disciples were first called Christians.

Psalm

Psalms

87(86),1-3.4-5.6-7.

]His foundation upon the holy mountains,
the LORD loves:
]the gates of Zion,
more than any dwelling of Jacob.
]Glorious things are said of you,
O city of God!
]I tell of Egypt and Babylon
among those who know the LORD;
of Philistia, Tyre, Ethiopia:
"This man was born there."
]and of Zion they shall say:
“One and all were born in her;
and he who has established her
is the Most High LORD.”
]They shall note, when the peoples are enrolled:
"This man was born there."
]And all shall sing, in their festive dance:
"My home is within you."

Gospel

Holy Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Saint John

10,22-30.

]The feast of the Dedication was taking place in Jerusalem. It was winter.
]And Jesus walked about in the temple area on the Portico of Solomon.
]So the Jews gathered around him and said to him, "How long are you going to keep us in suspense? If you are the Messiah, tell us plainly."
]Jesus answered them, "I told you and you do not believe. The works I do in my Father's name testify to me.
]But you do not believe, because you are not among my sheep.
]My sheep hear my voice; I know them, and they follow me.
]I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish. No one can take them out of my hand.
]My Father, who has given them to me, is greater than all, and no one can take them out of the Father's hand.
]The Father and I are one."
