Monday, March 18 : Holy Gospel according to Saint John 7,32-39.
The Pharisees heard the people murmuring these things concerning him: and the rulers and Pharisees sent ministers to apprehend him.
Jesus therefore said to them: Yet a little while I am with you: and then I go to him that sent me.
You shall seek me and shall not find me: and where I am, thither you cannot come.
The Jews therefore said among themselves: Whither will he go, that we shall not find him? Will he go unto the dispersed among the Gentiles and teach the Gentiles?
What is this saying that he hath said: You shall seek me and shall not find me? And: Where I am, you cannot come?
And on the last, and great day of the festivity, Jesus stood and cried, saying: If any man thirst, let him come to me and drink.
He that believeth in me, as the scripture saith: Out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water.
Now this he said of the Spirit which they should receive who believed in him: for as yet the Spirit was not given, because Jesus was not yet glorified.
