Woe unto us! for we are spoiled.O Jerusalem, wash thine heart from wickedness, that thou mayest be saved. How long shall thy vain thoughts lodge within thee?For a voice declareth from Dan, and publisheth affliction from mount Ephraim.Make ye mention to the nations; behold, publish against Jerusalem, that watchers come from a far country, and give out their voice against the cities of Judah.As keepers of a field, are they against her round about; because she hath been rebellious against me, saith the Lord.Thy way and thy doings have procured these things unto thee; this is thy wickedness, because it is bitter, because it reacheth unto thine heart. <\/p>\n New Testament Reading<\/p>\n Second Reading:<\/p>\n John 4.43-end<\/p>\n “Now after two days he departed thence, and went into Galilee.For Jesus himself testified, that a prophet hath no honour in his own country.Then when he was come into Galilee, the Galilaeans received him, having seen all the things that he did at Jerusalem at the feast: for they also went unto the feast.So Jesus came again into Cana of Galilee, where he made the water wine. And there was a certain nobleman, whose son was sick at Capernaum.When he heard that Jesus was come out of Judaea into Galilee, he went unto him, and besought him that he would come down, and heal his son: for he was at the point of death.Then said Jesus unto him, Except ye see signs and wonders, ye will not believe.The nobleman saith unto him, Sir, come down ere my child die.Jesus saith unto him, Go thy way; thy son liveth. And the man believed the word that Jesus had spoken unto him, and he went his way.And as he was now going down, his servants met him, and told him, saying, Thy son liveth.Then enquired he of them the hour when he began to amend. And they said unto him, Yesterday at the seventh hour the fever left him.So the father knew that it was at the same hour, in the which Jesus said unto him, Thy son liveth: and himself believed, and his whole house.This is again the second miracle that Jesus did, when he was come out of Judaea into Galilee.”<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Note that these Saints were all Sabbath keepers: http:\/\/christsassembly.com\/2015\/05\/honoring-of-the-sabbath-in-the-historic-orthodox-church\/<\/a><\/p>\n
