Oct 28, 2022. Gospel John 15:17-25. St Simon and Jude, Apostles.

[17]These things I command you, that you love one another. Haec mando vobis : ut diligatis invicem. [18] If the world hate you, know ye, that it hath hated me before you. Si mundus vos odit, scitote quia me priorem vobis odio habuit. [19] If you had been of the world, the world would love its own: but because you are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hateth you. Si de mundo fuissetis, mundus quod suum erat diligeret : quia vero de mundo non estis, sed ego elegi vos de mundo, propterea odit vos mundus. [20] Remember my word that I said to you: The servant is not greater than his master. If they have persecuted me, they will also persecute you: if they have kept my word, they will keep yours also. Mementote sermonis mei, quem ego dixi vobis : non est servus major domino suo. Si me persecuti sunt, et vos persequentur; si sermonem meum servaverunt, et vestrum servabunt. [21] But all these things they will do to you for my name's sake: because they know not him who sent me. Sed haec omnia facient vobis propter nomen meum : quia nesciunt eum qui misit me. [22] If I had not come, and spoken to them, they would not have sin; but now they have no excuse for their sin. Si non venissem, et locutus fuissem eis, peccatum non haberent : nunc autem excusationem non habent de peccato suo. [23] He that hateth me, hateth my Father also. Qui me odit, et Patrem meum odit. [24] If I had not done among them the works that no other man hath done, they would not have sin; but now they have both seen and hated both me and my Father. Si opera non fecissem in eis quae nemo alius fecit, peccatum non haberent : nunc autem et viderunt, et oderunt et me, et Patrem meum. [25] But that the word may be fulfilled which is written in their law: They hated me without cause. Sed ut adimpleatur sermo, qui in lege eorum scriptus est : Quia odio habuerunt me gratis.
