The Scripture Lesson                             John 11: 32-36

 

When Mary reached the place where Jesus was and saw him, she fell at his feet and said, “Lord, if you had been here, my brother would not have died.”  When Jesus saw her weeping, and the Jews who had come along with her, also weeping, he was deeply moved in spirit and troubled.  “Where have you laid him?”  he asked.  “Come and see, Lord,” they replied.  Jesus wept.  Then the Jews said, “See how he loved him!”

 

John 13: 27

 

As soon as Judas took the bread, Satan entered into him. “What you are about to do, do quickly,” Jesus told him.

 

John 14:1

 

“Do not let your hearts be troubled, Trust in God; trust also in me.”

 

This is the word of the Lord

Thanks be to God
