unto us the gate of everlasting life: we humbly beseechthee; that as by thy special grace thou dost put into our

THE EPISTLE. Colossians 3. 1.

RETHREN: IF ye then be risen with Christ, seekthose things which are above, where Christ sitteth

at the right hand of God. Set your minds on thingsabove, not on earthly things; for you have died, andyour life is hid with Christ in God. When Christ, whois your life, shall be made manifest, then shall you alsobe made manifest with him in glory.

Mortify, therefore, your members which are upon theearth: fornication, uncleanness, passion, evil desire,and covetousness which is idolatry; because of whichcometh the wrath of God; in which you once walkedyourselves when you lived in such things. But nowyou must put it all off: wrath, anger, malice, slander,

and filthy talk out of your mouth; lie not to oneanother: cast off the old self with its evil deeds, andput on the new, which is being refashioned untoknowledge according to the image of its creator; inwhom there is neither Greek nor Jew, neithercircumcision nor uncircumcision, barbarian or Scythian,bond or free, but Christ is all in all.

HE first day of the week cometh Mary Magdaleneearly, when it was yet dark, unto the sepulchre,

and seeth the stone taken away from the sepulchre.

Then she runneth and cometh to Simon Peter, and tothe other disciple whom Jesus loved, and saith untothem, They have taken away the Lord out of thesepulchre, and we know not where they have laid him.Peter therefore went forth, and that other disciple, andcame to the sepulchre. So they ran both together; andthe other disciple did outrun Peter, and came first tothe sepulchre; and he, stooping down and looking in,saw the linen cloths lying; yet went he not in. Thencometh Simon Peter following him, and went into thesepulchre, and seeth the linen cloths lie; and thenapkin that was about his head, not lying with thelinen cloths, but wrapped together in a place by itself.Then went in also that other disciple which came firstto the sepulchre, and he saw, and believed. For as yetthey knew not the Scripture, that he must rise againfrom the dead. Then the disciples went away againunto their own home.

THE GOSPEL. St Luke 24. 13.

EHOLD, two of Jesus disciples went that sameday to a village called Emmaus, which was from

Jerusalem about threescore furlongs. And they talkedtogether of all these things which had happened. Andit came to pass, that while they communed together,and reasoned, Jesus himself drew near, and went withthem. But their eyes were holden, that they shouldnot know him. And he said unto them, What mannerof communications are these that ye have with one

another, as ye walk? And they stood still, lookingsorrowful. But one of them, whose name was Cleopas,answered and said unto him, Art thou only a strangerin Jerusalem, and hast not known the things which arecome to pass there in these days? And he said untothem, What things? And they said unto him,Concerning Jesus of Nazareth, who was a prophetmighty in deed and word, before God and all thepeople: and how the chief priests and our rulers

delivered him to be condemned to death, and havecrucified him. But we trusted that it had been hewhich should have redeemed Israel: and beside all this,to-day is the third day since these things were done.Yea, and certain women also of our company made usastonished, which were early at the sepulchre; andwhen they found not his body, they came, saying thatthey had also seen a vision of angels, which said thathe was alive. And certain of them which were with uswent to the sepulchre, and found it even so as the

women had said; but him they saw not. Then he saidunto them, Foolish ones, and slow of heart to believeall that the prophets have spoken: ought not Christ tohave suffered these things, and to enter into his glory?And beginning at Moses, and all the prophets, heexpounded unto them in all the Scriptures the thingsconcerning himself.

And it came topass, as he sat at meat with them, he took bread, andblessed it, and brake, and gave to them. And theireyes were opened, and they knew him; and hevanished out of their sight. And they said one toanother, Did not our heart burn within us, while hetalked with us by the way, and while he opened to usthe Scriptures? And they rose up the same hour, andreturned to Jerusalem, and found the eleven gatheredtogether, and them that were with them, saying, The

Yea, Christ my hope is arisen; to Galilee he goes beforeyou.



ESUS showed himself again to the disciples at the seaof Tiberias; and on this wise showed he himself.

There were together Simon Peter, and Thomas calledDidymus, and Nathanael of Cana in Galilee, and thesons of Zebedee, and two other of his disciples. SimonPeter saith unto them, I go a fishing. They say untohim, We also go with thee. They went forth, and

entered into a ship immediately; and that night theycaught nothing.

But when the morning was now come, Jesus stoodon the shore: but the disciples knew not that it wasJesus. Then Jesus saith unto them, Children, have yeany meat? They answered him, No. And he said untothem, cast the net on the right side of the ship, and yeshall find. They cast therefore, and now they were notable to draw it for the multitude of fishes. Therefore

that disciple whom Jesus loved saith unto Peter, It isthe Lord. Now when Simon Peter heard that it wasthe Lord, he girt his fishers coat unto him, (for he wasnaked,) and did cast himself into the sea. And theother disciples came in a little ship; (for they were notfar from land, but as it were two hundred cubits,)dragging the net with fishes.

As soon then as they were come to land, they saw afire of coals there, and fish laid thereon, and bread.Jesus saith unto them, Bring of the fish which ye have

now caught. Simon Peter went up, and drew the netto land full of great fishes, an hundred and fifty andthree: and for all there were so many, yet was not thenet broken. Jesus saith unto them, Come and dine.And none of the disciples dared ask him, Who artthou? knowing that it was the Lord. Jesus thencometh, and taketh bread, and giveth them, and fish

T THAT TIME: THE Angel of the Lord spakeunto Philip, saying, Arise, and go toward the

south unto the way that goeth down from Jerusalemunto Gaza, which is desert. And he arose and went:

and, behold, a man of Ethiopia, an eunuch of greatauthority under Candace, queen of the Ethiopians,who had the charge of all her treasure, and had cometo Jerusalem for to worship, was returning, and sittingin his chariot read Isaiah the prophet. Then the Spiritsaid unto Philip, Go near, and join thyself to thischariot. And Philip ran thither to him, and heard him

He was led as a sheep to the slaughter; andlike a lamb dumb before his shearer, soopened he not his mouth: in his humiliationhis judgement was taken away: and who shalldeclare his generation? for his life is taken fromthe earth.

And the eunuch answered Philip, and said, I praythee, of whom speaketh the prophet this? of himself,or of some other man? Then Philip opened his mouth,

and began at the same scripture, and preached untohim Jesus. And as they went on their way, they cameunto a certain water: and the eunuch said, See, here iswater; what doth hinder me to be baptized? AndPhilip said, If thou believest with all thine heart, thoumayest. And he answered and said, I believe thatJesus Christ is the Son of God. And he commandedthe chariot to stand still: and they went down bothinto the water, both Philip and the eunuch; and hebaptized him. And when they were come up out ofthe water, the Spirit of the Lord caught away Philip,that the eunuch saw him no more: and he went on hisway rejoicing. But Philip was found at Azotus: andpassing through he preached in all the cities, till hecame to Caesarea.

For evenhereunto were ye called: because Christ also sufferedfor us, leaving us an example, that ye should follow hissteps: who did no sin, neither was guile found in hismouth: who, when he was reviled, reviled not again;when he suffered, he threatened not; but committedhimself to him that judgeth righteously: who his ownself bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we,being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: bywhose stripes ye were healed. For ye were as sheepgoing astray; but are now returned unto the Shepherdand Bishop of your souls.

ESUS said, I am the Good Shepherd: the GoodShepherd giveth his life for the sheep. But he that is

an hireling, and not the shepherd, whose own the

sheep are not, seeth the wolf coming, and leaveth thesheep, and fleeth; and the wolf catcheth them, andscattereth the sheep. The hireling fleeth, because he isan hireling, and careth not for the sheep. I am theGood Shepherd, and know my sheep, and am knownof mine. As the Father knoweth me, even so know Ithe Father: and I lay down my life for the sheep. Andother sheep I have, which are not of this fold; themalso I must bring, and they shall hear my voice; andthere shall be one flock, and one Shepherd.

For so is the will of God, that withwell-doing ye may put to silence the ignorance of

foolish men: as free men, and not using your liberty fora cloak of maliciousness; butas the servants of God.Honour all men. Love the brotherhood. Fear God.Honour the king.

ESUS said to his disciples, A little while and ye shallnot see me; and again a little while and ye shall see

cannot tell what he saith. Now Jesus knew that theywere desirous to ask him, and said unto them, Do yeinquire among yourselves of that I said, A little whileand ye shall not see me; and again a little while and yeshall see me? Verily, verily I say unto you, that ye shallweep and lament, but the world shall rejoice: and yeshall be sorrowful, but your sorrow shall be turnedinto joy.
