Thursday, October 28 : Holy Gospel according to Saint John 15,17-25.
Jesus said to his disciples: These things I command you, that you love one another.
If the world hate you, know ye that it hath hated me before you.
If you had been of the world, the world would love its own: but because you are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hateth you.
Remember my word that I said to you: The servant is not greater than his master. If they have persecuted me, they will also persecute you. If they have kept my word, they will keep yours also.
But all these things they will do to you for my name’s sake: because they know not him that sent me.
If I had not come and spoken to them, they would not have sin: but now they have no excuse for their sin.
He that hateth me hateth my Father also.
If I had not done among them the works that no other man hath done, they would not have sin: but now they have both seen and hated both me and my Father.
But that the word may be fulfilled which is written in their law: they hated me without cause.
