Easter: they worshipped the sun toward the east.

THE BOOK OF THE PROPHET EZEKIEL.
CHAPTER 8:

13 ¶ He said also unto me, Turn thee yet again, and thou shalt see greater abominations that they do.

14 Then he brought me to the door of the gate of the LORD’s house which was toward the north; and, behold, there sat women weeping for Tammuz.

15 ¶ Then said he unto me, Hast thou seen this, O son of man? turn thee yet again, and thou shalt see greater abominations than these.

16 And he brought me into the inner court of the LORD’s house, and, behold, at the door of the temple of the LORD, between the porch and the altar, were about five and twenty men, with their backs toward the temple of the LORD, and their faces toward the east; and they worshipped the sun toward the east.

 17 ¶ Then he said unto me, Hast thou seen this, O son of man? Is it a light thing to the house of Judah that they commit the abominations which they commit here?

for they have filled the land with violence, and have returned to provoke me to anger: and, lo, they put the branch to their nose.

18 Therefore will I also deal in fury: mine eye shall not spare, neither will I have pity: and though they cry in mine ears with a loud voice, yet will I not hear them.

CHAPTER 7:

6 He answered and said unto them, Well hath Esaias prophesied of you hypocrites, as it is written, This people honoureth me with their lips, but their heart is far from me.

7 Howbeit in vain do they worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men.

8 For laying aside the commandment of God, ye hold the tradition of men, as the washing of pots and cups: and many other such like things ye do.

9 And he said unto them, Full well ye reject the commandment of God, that ye may keep your own tradition.

THE ACTS OF THE APOSTLES.
CHAPTER 12:

NOW about that time Herod the king stretched forth his hands to vex certain of the church.

2 And he killed James the brother of John with the sword.

3 And because he saw it pleased the Jews, he proceeded further to take Peter also. (Then were the days of unleavened bread.)

4 And when he had apprehended him, he put him in prison, and delivered him to four quaternions of soldiers to keep him; intending after Easter to bring him forth to the people.

5 Peter therefore was kept in prison: but prayer was made without ceasing of the church unto God for him.

6 And when Herod would have brought him forth, the same night Peter was sleeping between two soldiers, bound with two chains: and the keepers before the door kept the prison.

21 And upon a set day Herod, arrayed in royal apparel, sat upon his throne, and made an oration unto them.

22 And the people gave a shout, saying, It is the voice of a god, and not of a man.

23 And immediately the angel of the Lord smote him, because he gave not God the glory: and he was eaten of worms, and gave up the ghost.

24 ¶ But the word of God grew and multiplied.

CHAPTER 22:

41 ¶ While the Pharisees were gathered
together, Jesus asked them,
42 Saying, What think ye of Christ?
whose son is he? They say unto him, The
Son of David.
43 He saith unto them, How then doth
David in spirit call him Lord, saying,

44 The LORD said unto my Lord, Sit thou

on my right hand, till I make thine
enemies thy footstool?
45 If David then call him Lord, how is he
his son?
46 And no man was able to answer him a
word, neither durst any man from that day
forth ask him any more questions.

Christ, the son of David, the son of
Abraham.

20 But while he thought on these things,
behold, the angel of the Lord appeared
unto him in a dream, saying, Joseph, thou
son of David, fear not to take unto thee
Mary thy wife: for that which is conceived
in her is of the Holy Ghost.

Chapter 9:

27 ¶ And when Jesus departed thence, two
blind men followed him, crying, and
saying, Thou Son of David, have mercy on
us.

out of the same coasts, and cried unto him,
saying, Have mercy on me, O Lord, thou
Son of David; my daughter is grievously
vexed with a devil.

Chapter 20:

30 ¶ And, behold, two blind men sitting
by the way side, when they heard that
Jesus passed by, cried out, saying, Have
mercy on us, O Lord, thou Son of David.
31 And the multitude rebuked them,
because they should hold their peace: but
they cried the more, saying, Have mercy
on us, O Lord, thou Son of David.

47 And when he heard that it was Jesus of
Nazareth, he began to cry out, and say,
Jesus, thou Son of David, have mercy on
me.

hold his peace: but he cried the more a
great deal, Thou Son of David, have
mercy on me.

cried so much the more, Thou Son of
David, have mercy on me.

CHAPTER 25:

2 It is the glory of God to conceal a thing:
but the honour of kings is to search out a
matter.

THE PROVERBS.
CHAPTER 2:

MY son, if thou wilt receive my words, and hide my commandments with thee; 2 So that thou incline thine ear unto wisdom, and apply thine heart to
understanding;
3 Yea, if thou criest after knowledge, and liftest up thy voice for understanding;
4 If thou seekest her as silver, and searchest for her as for hid treasures;

5 Then shalt thou understand the fear of the LORD, and find the knowledge of God.
6 For the LORD giveth wisdom: out of his mouth cometh knowledge and
understanding.

CHAPTER 13:

16 Give glory to the LORD your God,
before he cause darkness, and before your
feet stumble upon the dark mountains,
and, while ye look for light, he turn it into
the shadow of death, and make it gross
darkness.

CHAPTER 12:

4 And I say unto you my friends, Be not
afraid of them that kill the body, and after
that have no more that they can do.
5 But I will forewarn you whom ye shall
fear: Fear him, which after he hath killed
hath power to cast into hell; yea, I say
unto you, Fear him.

THE GOSPEL ACCORDING TO ST. MATTHEW.

CHAPTER 10:

24 The disciple is not above his master,
nor the servant above his lord.
25 It is enough for the disciple that he be
as his master, and the servant as his lord.
If they have called the master of the house
Beelzebub, how much more shall they call
them of his household?
26 Fear them not therefore: for there is
nothing covered, that shall not be
revealed; and hid, that shall not be known.
27 What I tell you in darkness, that speak
ye in light: and what ye hear in the ear,
that preach ye upon the housetops.
28 And fear not them which kill the body,
but are not able to kill the soul: but rather
fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.
