The Lord said to His disciples, "Whoever has My commandments and keeps them loves Me; but whoever loves Me will be loved by My Father; and I will love him and appear to him myself. Judas, not Iscariot, said to Him: "Lord! what is this, that You want to reveal Yourself to us, and not to the world? Jesus answered and said to him, "Whoever loves me will keep my word; and My Father will love him, and We will come to him and make our abode with him. He who does not love Me does not keep My words; but the word that you hear is not mine, but the Father who sent me.

John 14:21–24

June 19, to the Apostle Judas.

The Gospel of John, conceived 49

The Lord said to His disciples: Let not your heart be troubled, and let it not be afraid. Ye have heard that I said unto you, I am coming from you, and I will come unto you. If you loved me, you would rejoice that I said, I go to the Father; for My Father is greater than I. And behold, I told you these things before it came to pass, that you might believe when it came to pass. It is a little longer for Me to speak to you; for the prince of this world is coming, and in me he has nothing. But that the world may know that I love the Father, and as the Father commanded me, so do I do: arise, let us go hence. I am the true vine, and My Father is the husbandman. Every branch of Me that does not bear fruit He cuts off; and every one that beareth fruit, He cleanses, that it may bear more fruit. You have already been cleansed through the word I have preached to you. Abide in Me, and I in you. As a branch cannot bear fruit of its own accord unless it be on the vine, so also are you, unless you are in Me. I am the vine, and you are the branches; whoever abides in me, and I in him, bears much fruit; for without Me you can do nothing. Whoever does not abide in Me will be cast out like a branch, and will wither; but such branches are gathered and thrown into the fire, and they are burned. If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ask whatsoever ye will, and it shall be done unto you.

John 14:27b–15:7

Monday of the 7th week of Pascha.

The Gospel of John, conceived 50

The Lord said to His disciples: I am the true vine, and My Father is the husbandman. Every branch of Me that does not bear fruit He cuts off; and every one that beareth fruit, He cleanses, that it may bear more fruit. You have already been cleansed through the word I have preached to you. Abide in Me, and I in you. As a branch cannot bear fruit of its own accord unless it be on the vine, so also are you, unless you are in Me. I am the vine, and you are the branches; whoever abides in me, and I in him, bears much fruit; for without Me you can do nothing. Whoever does not abide in Me will be cast out like a branch, and will wither; but such branches are gathered and thrown into the fire, and they are burned. If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ask whatsoever ye will, and it shall be done unto you.

Ин 15:1–7

2 сентября, мученику Маманту.

Евангелие от Иоанна, зачало 51

Сказал Господь Своим ученикам: как возлюбил Меня Отец, и Я возлюбил вас; пребудьте в любви Моей. Если заповеди Мои соблюдете, пребудете в любви Моей, как и Я соблюл заповеди Отца Моего и пребываю в Его любви. Это сказал Я вам, да радость Моя в вас пребудет и радость ваша будет совершенна. Сия есть заповедь Моя, да любите друг друга, как Я возлюбил вас. Нет больше той любви, как если кто положит душу свою за друзей своих. Вы друзья Мои, если исполняете то, что Я заповедую вам. Я уже не называю вас рабами, ибо раб не знает, что делает господин его; но Я назвал вас друзьями, потому что сказал вам все, что слышал от Отца Моего. Не вы Меня избрали, а Я вас избрал и поставил вас, чтобы вы шли и приносили плод, и чтобы плод ваш пребывал, дабы, чего ни попросите от Отца во имя Мое, Он дал вам.

Ин 15:9–16
