FIRST SUNDAY AFTER EASTER
NEW SUNDAY
Introduction: Psalm 65:1
Alleluia, Alleluia. Praise is due to you, O God, in Zion;
and to you prayers shall be offered in Jerusalem.
The reading is from the Letter of James 3:1-12
Let not many of you become teachers, my brethren, for you know that we who teach shall be judged with greater strictness. For we all make many mistakes, and if any one makes no mistakes in what he says he is a perfect man, able to bridle the whole body also. If we put bits into the mouths of horses that they may obey us, we guide their whole bodies. Look at the ships also; though they are so great and are driven by strong winds, they are guided by a very small rudder wherever the will of the pilot directs. So the tongue is a little member and boasts of great things. How great a forest is set ablaze by a small fire!
And the tongue is a fire. The tongue is an unrighteous world among our members, staining the whole body, setting on fire the cycle of nature, and set on fire by hell. For every kind of beast and bird, of reptile and sea creature, can be tamed and has been tamed by humankind, but no human being can tame the tonguea restless evil, full of deadly poison. With it we bless the Lord and Father, and with it we curse men, who are made in the likeness of God. From the same mouth come blessing and cursing. My brethren, this ought not to be so. Does a spring pour forth from the same opening fresh water and brackish? Can a fig tree, my brethren, yield olives, or a grapevine figs? No more can salt water yield fresh.
THE HOLY GOSPEL OF JESUS CHRIST ACCORDING TO JOHN 1:1-17
From the Father of Light:
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God; all things were made through him, and without him was not anything made that was made. In him was life, and the life was the light of men. The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.
There was a man sent from God, whose name was John. He came for testimony, to bear witness to the light, that all might believe through him. He was not the light, but came to bear witness to the light.
The true light that enlightens every man was coming into the world. He was in the world, and the world was made through him, yet the world knew him not. He came to his own home, and his own people received him not. But to all who received him, who believed in his name, he gave power to become children of God; who were born, not of blood nor of the will of the flesh nor of the will of man, but of God.
And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, full of grace and truth; we have beheld his glory, glory as of the only Son from the Father. (John bore witness to him, and cried, "This was he of whom I said, `He who comes after me ranks before me, for he was before me.'") And from his fullness have we all received, grace upon grace. For the law was given through Moses; grace and truth came through Jesus Christ.
ՅԻՍՈՒՍ ՔՐԻՍՏՈՍԻ ԱՒԵՏԱՐԱՆԷՆ ԸՍՏ ՅՈՎՀԱՆՆՈՒ Գլուխ 1։1-17
Աշխարհի ստեղծագործութենէն առաջ գոյութիւն ունէր Բանը, ասինքն Որդին։ Բանը Աստուծոյ հետ էր եւ Բանը Աստուած էր։ Անիկա սկիզբէն Աստուծոյ հետ էր։ Անով էր որ Աստուած ամէն ինչ ստեղծեց. առանց անոր ոչ մէկ բան ստեղծեց։ Կեանքը Անով սկիզբ առաւ. եւ կեանքը մարդոց համար լոյսն է՝ որ խաւարին մէջ կը փայլի. եւ խաւարը չկրցաւ Անոր յաղթել։
Յովհաննէս, որ Աստուծոյ կողմէ ղրկուած մարդ մըն էր, եկաւ Լոյսին համար վկայութիւն տալու, որպէսզի ամէն մարդ Անոր անունին հաւատայ։ Ինք Լոյսը չէր, այլ՝ Լոյսին համար վկայ մը։ Բա՛նն էր ճշմարիտ Լոյսը, որ աշխարհ գալով կը լուսաւորէ ամբողջ մարդկութիւնը։ Աշխարհի մէջ էր Անիկա, աշխարհը Իրմով ստեղծուեցաւ, սակայն աշխարհը զԱյն չճանչցաւ։ Իր իսկ ստեղծած աշխարհը եկաւ, բայց մարդիկ զինք չընդունեցին։ Իսկ զինք ընդունողներուն եւ Իրեն հաւատացողներուն՝ իշխանութիւն տուաւ Աստուծոյ որդիներ ըլլալու, ո՛չ արեան ճամբով եւ ո՛չ մարմնի կամ մարդկային կամքով, այլ Աստուծմէ ծնելով։
Եւ Բանը մարմին եղաւ եւ մեր միջեւ բնակեցաւ՝ շնորհքով եւ ճշմարտութեամբ լեցուն։ Մենք տեսանք Անոր փառքը, փառքը Աստուծոյ միածին Որդիին։
Յովհաննէս Անոր մասին վկայեց, յայտարարելով, �Ասիկա է Ան, որուն մասին կ՚ըսէի. �Ան որ ինձմէ ետք պիտի գայ՝ ինձմէ մեծ է, որովհետեւ ինձմէ առաջ գոյութիւն ունէր��։ Իր լիառատ շնորհքէն մենք շարունակ շնորհք ստացանք, որովհետեւ Օրէնքը Մովսէսի միջոցաւ տրուեցաւ, մինչ շնորհքն ու ճշմարտութիւնը՝ Յիսուս Քրիստոսի միջոցաւ։
