The Lord appointed other seventy also, and sent them two and two
before his face into every city and place whither he himself would
come. Therefore said he unto them, The harvest truly is great, but
the labourers are few; pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest,
that he would send forth labourers into his harvest. Go your ways;
behold, I send you forth as lambs among wolves. Carry neither
purse, nor scrip, nor shoes, and salute no man by the way. And
into whatsoever house ye enter, first say, Peace be to this house.
And if the son of peace be there, your peace shall rest upon it:
if not, it shall turn to you again. And in the same house remain,
eating and drinking such things as they give: for the labourer is
worthy of his hire.
SAINT SIMON AND SAINT JUDE, APOSTLES _October_ 28.
THE COLLECT.
O almighty God, who hast built thy Church upon the foundation of
the Apostles and Prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the head
cornerstone: Grant us so to be joined together in unity of spirit
by their doctrine, that we may be made an holy temple acceptable
unto thee; through Jesus Christ our Lord. _Amen_.
THE EPISTLE. St Jude 1.
Jude, the servant of Jesus Christ, and brother of James, to
them that are sanctified by God the Father, and preserved in
Jesus Christ, and called: Mercy unto you, and peace, and love
be multiplied. Beloved, when I gave all diligence to write unto
you of the common salvation, it was needful for me to write unto
you, and exhort you, that ye should earnestly contend for the
faith which was once delivered unto the saints. For there are
certain men crept in unawares, who were before of old ordained to
this condemnation; ungodly men, turning the grace of our God into
lasciviousness, and denying the only Lord God and our Lord Jesus
Christ. I will therefore put you in remembrance, though ye once
knew this, how that the Lord, having saved the people out of the
land of Egypt, afterward destroyed them that believed not. And
the angels which kept not their first estate, but left their own
habitation, he hath reserved in everlasting chains under darkness
unto the judgement of the great day. Even as Sodom and Gomorrha,
and the cities about them, in like manner giving themselves over
to fornication, and going after strange flesh, are set forth for
an example, suffering the vengeance of eternal fire. Likewise also
these filthy dreamers defile the flesh, despise dominion, and
speak evil of dignities.
THE GOSPEL. St John xv. 17.
