First Lesson
Ezekiel 13:1-9
1 And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
2 Son of man, prophesy against the prophets of Israel that prophesy,
and say thou unto them that prophesy out of their own hearts,
Hear ye the word of the LORD;
3 Thus saith the Lord GOD; Woe unto the foolish prophets, that
follow their own spirit, and have seen nothing!
4 O Israel, thy prophets are like the foxes in the deserts.
5 Ye have not gone up into the gaps, neither made up the hedge
for the house of Israel to stand in the battle in the day of
the LORD.
6 They have seen vanity and lying divination, saying, The LORD
saith: and the LORD hath not sent them: and they have made others
to hope that they would confirm the word.
7 Have ye not seen a vain vision, and have ye not spoken a lying
divination, whereas ye say, The LORD saith it; albeit I have
not spoken?
8 Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Because ye have spoken vanity,
and seen lies, therefore, behold, I am against you, saith the
Lord GOD.
9 And mine hand shall be upon the prophets that see vanity, and
that divine lies: they shall not be in the assembly of my people,
neither shall they be written in the writing of the house of
Israel, neither shall they enter into the land of Israel; and
ye shall know that I am the Lord GOD.

The Second
Lesson
John 3:22-36
22 After these things came Jesus and his disciples into the land
of Judaea; and there he tarried with them, and baptized.
23 And John also was baptizing in Aenon near to Salim, because
there was much water there: and they came, and were baptized.
24 For John was not yet cast into prison.
25 Then there arose a question between some of John's disciples
and the Jews about purifying.
26 And they came unto John, and said unto him, Rabbi, he that
was with thee beyond Jordan, to whom thou barest witness, behold,
the same baptizeth, and all men come to him.
27 John answered and said, A man can receive nothing, except
it be given him from heaven.
28 Ye yourselves bear me witness, that I said, I am not the Christ,
but that I am sent before him.
29 He that hath the bride is the bridegroom: but the friend of
the bridegroom, which standeth and heareth him, rejoiceth greatly
because of the bridegroom's voice: this my joy therefore is fulfilled.
30 He must increase, but I must decrease.
31 He that cometh from above is above all: he that is of the
earth is earthly, and speaketh of the earth: he that cometh from
heaven is above all.
32 And what he hath seen and heard, that he testifieth; and no
man receiveth his testimony.
33 He that hath received his testimony hath set to his seal that
God is true.
34 For he whom God hath sent speaketh the words of God: for God
giveth not the Spirit by measure unto him.
35 The Father loveth the Son, and hath given all things into
his hand.
36 He
that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that
believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God
abideth on him.
