6th Sunday of Easter

5And Philip going down to the city of Samaria, preached Christ unto them. 6And the people with one accord were attentive to those things which were said by Philip, hearing, and seeing the miracles which he did. 7For many of them who had unclean spirits, crying with a loud voice, went out. 8And many, taken with the palsy, and that were lame, were healed.

…

14Now when the apostles, who were in Jerusalem, had heard that Samaria had received the word of God, they sent unto them Peter and John. 15Who, when they were come, prayed for them, that they might receive the Holy Ghost. 16For he was not as yet come upon any of them; but they were only baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus. 17Then they laid their hands upon them, and they received the Holy Ghost.

1Unto the end, a canticle of a psalm of the resurrection. Shout with joy to God, all the earth,

2Sing ye a psalm to his name; give glory to his praise.

3Say unto God, How terrible are thy works, O Lord! in the multitude of thy strength thy enemies shall lie to thee.

4Let all the earth adore thee, and sing to thee: let it sing a psalm to thy name.

5Come and see the works of God; who is terrible in his counsels over the sons of men.

6Who turneth the sea into dry land, in the river they shall pass on foot: there shall we rejoice in him.

7Who by his power ruleth for ever: his eyes behold the nations; let not them that provoke him he exalted in themselves.

…

16Come and hear, all ye that fear God, and I will tell you what great things he hath done for my soul.

20Blessed be God, who hath not turned away my prayer, nor his mercy from me.

15But sanctify the Lord Christ in your hearts, being ready always to satisfy every one that asketh you a reason of that hope which is in you. 16But with modesty and fear, having a good conscience: that whereas they speak evil of you, they may be ashamed who falsely accuse your good conversation in Christ. 17For it is better doing well (if such be the will of God) to suffer, than doing ill. 18Because Christ also died once for our sins, the just for the unjust: that he might offer us to God, being put to death indeed in the flesh, but enlivened in the spirit,

15If you love me, keep my commandments. 16And I will ask the Father, and he shall give you another Paraclete, that he may abide with you for ever. 17The spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, nor knoweth him: but you shall know him; because he shall abide with you, and shall be in you. 18I will not leave you orphans, I will come to you. 19Yet a little while: and the world seeth me no more. But you see me: because I live, and you shall live. 20In that day you shall know, that I am in my Father, and you in me, and I in you. 21He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them; he it is that loveth me. And he that loveth me, shall be loved of my Father: and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him.
