Epistle: Ecclesiasticus xliv. 25-27; xlv. 2-4, 6-9

    Lesson from the book of Ecclesiasticus. The blessing of the Lord was upon the head of the just man. Therefore the Lord gave him an inheritance and divided him his portion in twelve tribes; and he found grace in the eyes of all flesh. He magnified him in the fear of his enemies, and with his words he made prodigies to cease. He glorified him in the sight of kings, and gave him commandments in the sight of his people, and showed him in his faith and meekness, and chose him our of all flesh. And he gave him commandments before his face, and a law of life and instruction, and he exalted him. He made an everlasting covenant with him, and girded him about with a girdle of justice: and the Lord crowned him with a crown of glory.

Gradual: Psalms cxxxviii. 17-18

    Thy friends, O God, are made exceedingly honorable; their principality is exceedingly strengthened. ℣. I shall number them, and they shall be multiplied above the sand.

Gospel: John i. 35-51

    + The continuation of the holy Gospel according to St. John. At that time, John stood, and two of his disciples; and beholding Jesus walking, he saith: Behold the Lamb of God. And the two disciples heard him speak, and they followed Jesus. And Jesus turning, and seeing them following Him, saith to them: What seek you? Who said to Him: Rabbi (which is to say, being interpreted, Master), where dwellest you? He saith to them: Come, and see. They came, and saw where He abode; and they stayed with Him that day: now it was about the tenth hour. And Andrew the brother of Simon Peter was one of the two who had heard of John, and followed Him. He findeth first his brother Simon, and saith to him: We have found the Messias: (which is, being interpreted, the Christ). And he brought him to Jesus; and Jesus, looking upon him, said: Thou art Simon, the son of Jona; thou shalt be called Cephas, which is interpreted, Peter. On the following day, He would go forth into Galilee; and He findeth Philip. And Jesus saith to him: Follow me. Now Philip was of Bethsaida, the city of Andrew and Peter. Philip findeth Nathanael, and saith to him: We have found Him of whom Moses in the law and the prophets did write, Jesus the son of Joseph of Nazareth. And Nathanael saith to him: Can any thing of good come from Nazareth? Philip saith to him: Come, and see. Jesus saw Nathanael coming to Him; and He saith to Him: Behold an Israelite indeed, in whom there is no guile. Nathanael saith to Him: Whence knowest Thou me? Jesus answered, and said to him: Before that Philip called thee, when thou wast under the fig-tree, I saw thee. Nathanael answered Him, and said: Rabbi, Thou art the Son of God, Thou art the King of Israel. Jesus answered and said to him: Because I said unto thee, I saw thee under the fig-tree, thou believest; greater things than these shalt thou see. And He saith to him: Amen, amen I say to you, you shall see the heaven opened, and the angels of God ascending and descending upon the Son of man.
