A Reading from the Acts of the Apostles: Acts 8.26-end
An angel of the Lord said to Philip, ‘Get up and go towards the south to the
road that goes down from Jerusalem to Gaza.’ (This is a wilderness road.) So he
got up and went. Now there was an Ethiopian eunuch, a court official of the
Candace, queen of the Ethiopians, in charge of her entire treasury. He had
come to Jerusalem to worship and was returning home; seated in his chariot,
he was reading the prophet Isaiah. Then the Spirit said to Philip, ‘Go over to
this chariot and join it.’ So Philip ran up to it and heard him reading the
prophet Isaiah. He asked, ‘Do you understand what you are reading?’ He
replied, ‘How can I, unless someone guides me?’ And he invited Philip to get in
and sit beside him. Now the passage of the scripture that he was reading was
this:
‘Like a sheep he was led to the slaughter,
and like a lamb silent before its shearer,
so he does not open his mouth.
In his humiliation justice was denied him.
Who can describe his generation?
For his life is taken away from the earth.’
The eunuch asked Philip, ‘About whom, may I ask you, does the prophet say
this, about himself or about someone else?’ Then Philip began to speak, and
starting with this scripture, he proclaimed to him the good news about Jesus.
As they were going along the road, they came to some water; and the eunuch
said, ‘Look, here is water! What is to prevent me from being baptized?’ He
commanded the chariot to stop, and both of them, Philip and the eunuch,
went down into the water, and Philip baptized him. When they came up out of
the water, the Spirit of the Lord snatched Philip away; the eunuch saw him no
more, and went on his way rejoicing. But Philip found himself at Azotus, and as
he was passing through the region, he proclaimed the good news to all the
towns until he came to Caesarea.
Reader: This is the word of the Lord.
Response: Thanks be to God.
A Reading from the First Letter of John: 1 John 4.7-end
Beloved, let us love one another, because love is from God; everyone who
loves is born of God and knows God. Whoever does not love does not know
God, for God is love. God’s love was revealed among us in this way: God sent
his only Son into the world so that we might live through him. In this is love,
not that we loved God but that he loved us and sent his Son to be the atoning
sacrifice for our sins. Beloved, since God loved us so much, we also ought to
love one another. No one has ever seen God; if we love one another, God lives
in us, and his love is perfected in us.

By this we know that we abide in him and he in us, because he has given us of
his Spirit. And we have seen and do testify that the Father has sent his Son as
the Saviour of the world. God abides in those who confess that Jesus is the Son
of God, and they abide in God. So we have known and believe the love that
God has for us.
God is love, and those who abide in love abide in God, and God abides in them.
Love has been perfected among us in this: that we may have boldness on the
day of judgement, because as he is, so are we in this world. There is no fear in
love, but perfect love casts out fear; for fear has to do with punishment, and
whoever fears has not reached perfection in love. We love because he first
loved us. Those who say, ‘I love God’, and hate their brothers or sisters, are
liars; for those who do not love a brother or sister whom they have seen,
cannot love God whom they have not seen. The commandment we have from
him is this: those who love God must love their brothers and sisters also.
Reader: This is the word of the Lord.
Response: Thanks be to God.
The Gospel Acclamation - Sung by all
Choir: Abide in me as I abide in you.
Those who abide in me and I in them bear much fruit. John 15.4-5
All: Alleluia.
Hear the Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ according to John: John 15.1-8
Response: Glory be to thee, O Lord
Jesus said to his disciples:
‘I am the true vine, and my Father is the vine-grower. He removes every
branch in me that bears no fruit. Every branch that bears fruit he prunes to
make it bear more fruit. You have already been cleansed by the word that I
have spoken to you. Abide in me as I abide in you. Just as the branch cannot
bear fruit by itself unless it abides in the vine, neither can you unless you abide
in me. I am the vine, you are the branches. Those who abide in me and I in
them bear much fruit, because apart from me you can do nothing. Whoever
does not abide in me is thrown away like a branch and withers; such branches
are gathered, thrown into the fire, and burned. If you abide in me, and my
words abide in you, ask for whatever you wish, and it will be done for you. My
Father is glorified by this, that you bear much fruit and become my disciples.
Reader: This is the Gospel of the Lord.
Response: Praise be to thee, O Christ.
