A Reading from the Book of the Prophet Isaiah: Isaiah 61.1-4, 8-end<br />

The Servant of the Lord said:<br />

The spirit of the Lord GOD is upon me, because the LORD has anointed me;<br />

he has sent me to bring good news to the oppressed,<br />

to bind up the broken-hearted,<br />

to proclaim liberty to the captives, and release to the prisoners;<br />

to proclaim the year of the LORD’s favour, and the day of vengeance of our God;<br />

to comfort all who mourn;<br />

to provide for those who mourn in Zion—to give them a garland instead of ashes,<br />

the oil of gladness instead of mourning, the mantle of praise instead of a faint spirit.<br />

They will be called oaks of righteousness, the planting of the LORD, to display his glory.<br />

They shall build up the ancient ruins, they shall raise up the former devastations;<br />

they shall repair the ruined cities, the devastations of many generations.<br />

For I the LORD love justice, I hate robbery and wrongdoing;<br />

I will faithfully give them their recompense,<br />

and I will make an everlasting covenant with them.<br />

Their descendants shall be known among the nations,<br />

and their offspring among the peoples;<br />

all who see them shall acknowledge<br />

that they are a people whom the LORD has blessed.<br />

I will greatly rejoice in the LORD, my whole being shall exult in my God;<br />

for he has clothed me with the garments of salvation,<br />

he has covered me with the robe of righteousness,<br />

as a bridegroom decks himself with a garland,<br />

and as a bride adorns herself with her jewels.<br />

For as the earth brings forth its shoots,<br />

and as a garden causes what is sown in it to spring up,<br />

so the Lord GOD will cause righteousness and praise<br />

to spring up before all the nations.<br />

Reader: This is the word of the Lord.<br />

Response: Thanks be to God.<br />

A Reading from the First Letter of Paul to the Thessalonians:<br />

1 Thessalonians 5.16-24<br />

My brothers and sisters,<br />

Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, give thanks in all circumstances; for this<br />

is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you. Do not quench the Spirit. Do not


despise the words of prophets, but test everything; hold fast to what is good;<br />

abstain from every form of evil.<br />

May the God of peace himself sanctify you entirely; and may your spirit and<br />

soul and body be kept sound and blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus<br />

Christ. The one who calls you is faithful, and he will do this.<br />

Reader: This is the word of the Lord.<br />

Response: Thanks be to God.<br />

The Gospel - Sung by all<br />

Choir:<br />

The spirit of the Lord is upon me.<br />

He has anointed me to bring good news to the poor. Luke 4.18<br />

All:<br />

Alleluia, Alleluia….<br />

Hear the Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ according to John: John 1.6-8, 19-28<br />

Response: Glory be to thee, O Lord<br />

There was a man sent from God, whose name was John. He came as a witness<br />

to testify to the light, so that all might believe through him. He himself was not<br />

the light, but he came to testify to the light.<br />

This is the testimony given by John when the Jews sent priests and Levites<br />

from Jerusalem to ask him, ‘Who are you?’ He confessed and did not deny it,<br />

but confessed, ‘I am not the Messiah.’ And they asked him, ‘What then? Are<br />

you Elijah?’ He said, ‘I am not.’ ‘Are you the prophet?’ He answered, ‘No.’ Then<br />

they said to him, ‘Who are you? Let us have an answer for those who sent us.<br />

What do you say about yourself?’ He said,<br />

‘I am the voice of one crying out in the wilderness,<br />

“Make straight the way of the Lord” ’,<br />

as the prophet Isaiah said.<br />

Now they had been sent from the Pharisees. They asked him, ‘Why then are<br />

you baptizing if you are neither the Messiah, nor Elijah, nor the prophet?’ John<br />

answered them, ‘I baptize with water. Among you stands one whom you do<br />

not know, the one who is coming after me; I am not worthy to untie the thong<br />

of his sandal.’ This took place in Bethany across the Jordan where John was<br />

baptizing.<br />

Reader: This is the Gospel of the Lord.<br />

Response: Praise be to thee, O Christ.
