Book of Common Prayer
Write To Sardis: You Are Alive In Name Only. Remember What You Received. Repent
3 “And to the angel of the church in Sardis, write— These things says the One having the seven Spirits[a] of God and the seven stars. I know your works: that you have a name[b] that you are alive[c], and you are dead. 2 Be[d] keeping-watch, and establish[e] the remaining things which were-about-to die, for I have not found your works fulfilled[f] in the sight of My God. 3 Therefore be remembering how you have received and you heard, and be keeping it, and repent. Therefore if you do not keep-watch, I will come like a thief. And you will never know at what hour I will come upon you. 4 But you have a few names[g] in Sardis who did not stain their garments. And they will walk with Me in white garments, because they are worthy. 5 The one overcoming will in-this-manner clothe himself in white garments. And I will never[h] wipe-out[i] his name from the book of life. And I will confess[j] his name before My Father and before His angels. 6 Let the one having an ear hear what the Spirit is saying to the churches.
Jesus Returns To Galilee And Feeds The 5000
6 After these things, Jesus went away to the other side of the Sea of Galilee— of Tiberias[a]. 2 And a large crowd was following Him, because they were seeing the signs which He was doing on the ones being sick. 3 And Jesus went up on the mountain, and was sitting there with His disciples. 4 And the Passover, the Feast of the Jews, was near. 5 Then Jesus, having lifted-up His eyes and seen that a large crowd was coming to Him, says to Philip, “From where may we buy bread in order that these ones may eat?” 6 Now He was saying this testing him. For He Himself knew what He was going to do. 7 Philip answered Him, “Loaves worth two-hundred denarii[b] are not enough for them, in order that each one may receive a little bit”. 8 One of His disciples— Andrew, the brother of Simon Peter— says to Him, 9 “There is a boy here who has five barley loaves and two fish, but what are these for so many?” 10 Jesus said, “Make the people fall-back [to eat]”. And there was much grass in the place. So the men— about five-thousand as to the number— fell back [to eat]. 11 Then Jesus took the loaves. And having given-thanks, He distributed them to the ones reclining-back [to eat]— likewise also from the fish— as much as they were wanting. 12 And when they were filled, He says to His disciples, “Gather the left-over fragments so that nothing may be lost”. 13 So they gathered, and filled twelve baskets of fragments from the five barley loaves, which were left over by the ones having eaten. 14 Therefore the people, having seen the sign which He did, were saying that “This One is truly the Prophet[c] coming into the world”.
