Then came the disciples to Jesus
apart, and said, Why could not we
cast him out? And Jesus said unto
them, Because of your unbelief: for
verily I say unto you, If ye have faith
as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall
say unto this mountain, Remove hence
to yonder place; and it shall remove;
and nothing shall be impossible unto
you. Howbeit this kind goeth not out
but by prayer and fasting.
And while they abode in Galilee,
Jesus said unto them, The Son of man
shall be betrayed into the hands of
men: And they shall kill him, and the
third day he shall be raised again. And
they were exceeding sorry. Glory be to God
forever.
The Matins Gospel

Matthew 9:27-31
Stand with the fear of God. Let us hear the Holy Gospel. Bless, O Lord, the reading of the Holy Gospel, according to
St. Matthew. Blessed be He Who comes in the Name of the Lord. Our Lord, God, Saviour, and King of us all, Jesus Christ,
Son of the Living God, to Whom is glory forever.
And when Jesus departed
thence, two blind men followed him,
crying, and saying, Thou Son of David,
have mercy on us. And when he was
come into the house, the blind men
came to him: and Jesus saith unto
them, Believe ye that I am able to do
this? They said unto him, Yea, Lord.
Then touched he their eyes, saying,
According to your faith be it unto you.
And their eyes were opened; and Jesus
straitly charged them, saying, See that
no man know it. But they, when they
were departed, spread abroad his
fame in all that country. Glory be to God
forever.
