  26. FIRST READING Acts 8:26-40CEV Philip and the Ethiopian R: The first Reading for the Fifth Sunday of Easter is written in Chapter 8 of Acts, beginning at Verse 26.

  27. Acts 8:26-40 26The LORD'S angel said to Philip, "Go south along the desert road that leads from Jerusalem to Gaza." • 27So Philip left.

  28. Acts 8:26-40 An important Ethiopian official happened to be going along that road in his chariot. He was the chief treasurer for Candace, the Queen of Ethiopia. The official had gone to Jerusalem to worship 28and was now on his way home. He was sitting in his chariot, reading the book of the prophet Isaiah.

  29. Acts 8:26-40 29The Spirit told Philip to catch up with the chariot. 30Philip ran up close and heard the man reading aloud from the book of Isaiah. Philip asked him, "Do you understand what you are reading?" • 31The official answered, "How can I understand unless someone helps me?" He then invited Philip to come up and sit beside him.

  30. Acts 8:26-40 32The man was reading the passage that said, He was led like a sheep on its way to be killed. He was silent as a lamb whose wool is being cut off, and he did not say a word. 33He was treated like a nobody and did not receive a fair trial. How can he have children, if his life is snatched away?

  31. Acts 8:26-40 34The official said to Philip, "Tell me, was the prophet talking about himself or about someone else?"  35So Philip began at this place in the Scriptures and explained the good news about Jesus. 

  32. Acts 8:26-40 36-37As they were going along the road, they came to a place where there was some water. The official said, "Look! Here is some water. Why can't I be baptized?" 38He ordered the chariot to stop. Then they both went down into the water, and Philip baptized him.

  33. Acts 8:26-40 39After they had come out of the water, the LORD'S Spirit took Philip away. The official never saw him again, but he was very happy as he went on his way. 

  34. Acts 8:26-40 40Philip later appeared in Azotus. He went from town to town, all the way to Caesarea, telling people about Jesus.  This is the Word of the Lord. C: Thanks be to God.

  35. Psalm 22:25-31CEV R: The Psalm is Psalm 22 25When your people meet, you will fill my heart with your praises, LORD, and everyone will see me keep my promises to you.   C: 26The poor will eat and be full, and all who worship you will be thankful and live in hope.

  36. Psalm 22:25-31CEV R: 27Everyone on this earth will remember you, LORD. People all over the world will turn and worship you,  C: 28because you are in control, the ruler of all nations.

  37. Psalm 22:25-31CEV R: 29All who are rich and have more than enough will bow down to you, LORD. Even those who are dying and almost in the grave will come and bow down.  C: 30In the future, everyone will worship and learn about you, our LORD. 

  38. Psalm 22:25-31CEV R:31People not yet born will be told, "The LORD has saved us!" C: Glory to the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Spirit; As it was in the beginning is now, and will be for ever. Amen

  39. Second reading 1 John 4:7-21CEV Love one another, as God loved us. R: The Second Reading is written in Chapter 4 of First John, beginning at Verse 7.

  40. 1 John 4:7-21 7My dear friends, we must love each other. Love comes from God, and when we love each other, it shows that we have been given new life. We are now God's children, and we know him. 8God is love, and anyone who doesn't love others has never known him.

  41. 1 John 4:7-21 9God showed his love for us when he sent his only Son into the world to give us life. 10Real love isn't our love for God, but his love for us. God sent his Son to be the sacrifice by which our sins are forgiven. 11Dear friends, since God loved us this much, we must love each other. 

  42. 1 John 4:7-21 12No one has ever seen God. But if we love each other, God lives in us, and his love is truly in our hearts.  13God has given us his Spirit. That is how we know that we are one with him, just as he is one with us. 14God sent his Son to be the Savior of the world. We saw his Son and are now telling others about him.

  43. 1 John 4:7-21 15God stays one with everyone who openly says that Jesus is the Son of God. That's how we stay one with God 16and are sure that God loves us. God is love. If we keep on loving others, we will stay one in our hearts with God, and he will stay one with us. 17If we truly love others and live as Christ did in this world, we won't be worried about the day of judgment.

  44. 1 John 4:7-21 18A real love for others will chase those worries away. The thought of being punished is what makes us afraid. It shows that we have not really learned to love. 

  45. 1 John 4:7-21 19We love because God loved us first. 20But if we say we love God and don't love each other, we are liars. We cannot see God. So how can we love God, if we don't love the people we can see? 21The commandment that God has given us is: "Love God and love each other!"  This is the Word of the Lord. C: Thanks be to God.
