TODAY’S READINGS
Ecclesiastes 4. 9-12 Two are better than one, because they have a good reward for their toil. For if they fall, one will lift up the other; but woe to one who is alone and falls and does not have another to help. Again, if two lie
together, they keep warm; but how can one keep warm alone? And though one might
prevail against another, two will withstand one.
And a threefold cord is not quickly broken.
This is the Word of the Lord.
Thanks be to God.
GOSPEL: John 3. 9-16 Nicodemus said to
Jesus, ‘How can these things you teach be?’
Jesus answered him, ‘Are you a teacher of
Israel, and yet you do not understand these things? ‘Very truly, I tell you, we speak of what we know and testify to what we have seen; yet you do not receive our testimony. If I have told you about earthly things and you do not
believe, how can you believe if I tell you about heavenly things? No one has ascended into heaven except the one who descended from heaven, the Son of Man. And just as Moses
lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, so must the Son of Man be lifted up, that whoever
believes in him may have eternal life.
For God so loved the world that he gave his
only Son, so that everyone who believes in him may not perish but may have eternal life.
This is the Gospel of the Lord.
Praise to you, O Christ.
