The Lessons

The First Lesson (The people sit.) Nehemiah 8:1-3, 5-6, 8-10Reader A Reading from the Book of Nehemiah.All the people of Israel gathered together into the square before the Water Gate.They told the scribe Ezra to bring the book of the law of Moses, which the LORDhad given to Israel. Accordingly, the priest Ezra brought the law before the assembly,both men and women and all who could hear with understanding. This was on the

first day of the seventh month. He read from it facing the square before the WaterGate from early morning until midday, in the presence of the men and the womenand those who could understand; and the ears of all the people were attentive to the

book of the law. And Ezra opened the book in the sight of all the people, for he wasstanding above all the people; and when he opened it, all the people stood up. ThenEzra blessed the LORD, the great God, and all the people answered, "Amen, Amen,"lifting up their hands. Then they bowed their heads and worshiped the LORD withtheir faces to the ground. So they read from the book, from the law of God, withinterpretation. They gave the sense, so that the people understood the reading.

And Nehemiah, who was the governor, and Ezra the priest and scribe, and theLevites who taught the people said to all the people, "This day is holy to the LORDyour God; do not mourn or weep." For all the people wept when they heard thewords of the law. Then he said to them, "Go your way, eat the fat and drink sweetwine and send portions of them to those for whom nothing is prepared, for this dayis holy to our LORD; and do not be grieved, for the joy of the LORD is your

strength."Reader The Word of the LordPeople Thanks be to God.

Read in unison

Psalm 19 BCP 606-6071 The heavens declare the glory of God, *

and the firmament shows his handiwork.

2 One day tells its tale to another, *and one night imparts knowledge to another.

3 Although they have no words or language, *and their voices are not heard,

4 Their sound has gone out into all lands, *and their message to the ends of the world.

5 In the deep has he set a pavilion for the sun; *it comes forth like a bridegroom out of his chamber;

it rejoices like a champion to run its course.


5/16

6 It goes forth from the uttermost edge of the heavensand runs about to the end of it again; *nothing is hidden from its burning heat.

7 The law of the LORD is perfectand revives the soul; *the testimony of the LORD is sureand gives wisdom to the innocent.

8 The statutes of the LORD are justand rejoice the heart; *the commandment of the LORD is clearand gives light to the eyes.

9 The fear of the LORD is cleanand endures for ever; *the judgments of the LORD are true

and righteous altogether.10 More to be desired are they than gold,

more than much fine gold, *sweeter far than honey,than honey in the comb.

11 By them also is your servant enlightened, *

and in keeping them there is great reward.

12 Who can tell how often he offends? *cleanse me from my secretfaults.

13 Above all, keep your servant from presumptuous sins;let them not get dominion over me; *

then shall I be whole and sound,and innocent of a great offense.

14 Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of myheart be acceptable in your sight, *O LORD, my strength and my redeemer.

The Second Lesson 1 Corinthians 12:12-31aReader A Reading from The First Letter of Paul to the Corinthians.Just as the body is one and has many members, and all the members of the body,

though many, are one body, so it is with Christ. For in the one Spirit we were allbaptized into one body--Jews or Greeks, slaves or free--and we were all made todrink of one Spirit.

Indeed, the body does not consist of one member but of many. If the foot would say,"Because I am not a hand, I do not belong to the body," that would not make it anyless a part of the body. And if the ear would say, "Because I am not an eye, I do not

belong to the body," that would not make it any less a part of the body. If the wholebody were an eye, where would the hearing be? If the whole body were hearing,where would the sense of smell be? But as it is, God arranged the members in thebody, each one of them, as he chose. If all were a single member, where would thebody be? As it is, there are many members, yet one body. The eye cannot say to thehand, "I have no need of you," nor again the head to the feet, "I have no need of

you." On the contrary, the members of the body that seem to be weaker areindispensable, and those members of the body that we think less honorable we clothewith greater honor, and our less respectable members are treated with greater respect;whereas our more respectable members do not need this. But God has so arrangedthe body, giving the greater honor to the inferior member, that there may be nodissension within the body, but the members may have the same care for one

another. If one member suffers, all suffer together with it; if one member is honored,all rejoice together with it.

Now you are the body of Christ and individually members of it. And God hasappointed in the church first apostles, second prophets, third teachers; then deeds ofpower, then gifts of healing, forms of assistance, forms of leadership, various kinds oftongues. Are all apostles? Are all prophets? Are all teachers? Do all work miracles?

Do all possess gifts of healing? Do all speak in tongues? Do all interpret? But strivefor the greater gifts.

Reader The Word of the LordPeople Thanks be to God.

The Holy Gospel Luke 4:14-21Priest The Holy Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ according to Luke.People Glory to you, Lord Christ.

Jesus, filled with the power of the Spirit, returned to Galilee, and a report about himspread through all the surrounding country. He began to teach in their synagoguesand was praised by everyone.

When he came to Nazareth, where he had been brought up, he went to thesynagogue on the sabbath day, as was his custom. He stood up to read, and the scrollof the prophet Isaiah was given to him. He unrolled the scroll and found the place

where it was written:"The Spirit of the Lord is upon me,because he has anointed meto bring good news to the poor.He has sent me to proclaim release to the captivesand recovery of sight to the blind,to let the oppressed go free,to proclaim the year of the Lord's favor."

And he rolled up the scroll, gave it back to the attendant, and sat down. The eyes ofall in the synagogue were fixed on him. Then he began to say to them, "Today thisscripture has been fulfilled in your hearing."

eternally begotten of the Father,God from God, Light from Light,true God from true God,

begotten, not made,of one Being with the Father.Through him all things were made.For us and for our salvation

he came down from heaven:by the power of the Holy Spirit

he became incarnate from the Virgin Mary,and was made man.

For our sake he was crucified under Pontius Pilate;he suffered death and was buried.On the third day he rose again

in accordance with the Scriptures;

he ascended into heavenand is seated at the right hand of the Father.He will come again in glory to judge the living and the dead,

and his kingdom will have no end.

We believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the giver of life,who proceeds from the Father and the Son.

With the Father and the Son he is worshipped and glorified.He has spoken through the Prophets.We believe in one holy catholic and apostolic Church.We acknowledge one baptism for the forgiveness of sins.We look for the resurrection of the dead,

and the life of the world to come. Amen.

On the night before he died for us, our Lord Jesus Christ took bread; and when hehad given thanks to you, he broke it, and gave it to his disciples, and said, "Take, eat:This is my Body, which is given for you. Do this for the remembrance of me."After supper he took the cup of wine; and when he had given thanks, he gave it to

them, and said, "Drink this, all of you: This is my Blood of the new Covenant, whichis shed for you and for many for the forgiveness of sins. Whenever you drink it, dothis for the remembrance of me."

Therefore, according to his command, O Father,
