Saturday, December 16 : Holy Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Saint John 5,31-36.
‘If I testify about myself, my testimony is not true.
There is another who testifies on my behalf, and I know that his testimony to me is true.
You sent messengers to John, and he testified to the truth.
Not that I accept such human testimony, but I say these things so that you may be saved.
He was a burning and shining lamp, and you were willing to rejoice for a while in his light.
But I have a testimony greater than John’s. The works that the Father has given me to complete, the very works that I am doing, testify on my behalf that the Father has sent me.
