First Reading –\u00a01 John 2<\/span><\/h4>\n

Beloved:
\nWho is the liar?
\nWhoever denies that Jesus is the Christ.
\nWhoever denies the Father and the Son, this is the antichrist.
\nAnyone who denies the Son does not have the Father,
\nbut whoever confesses the Son has the Father as well.<\/p>\n

Let what you heard from the beginning remain in you.
\nIf what you heard from the beginning remains in you,
\nthen you will remain in the Son and in the Father.
\nAnd this is the promise that he made us: eternal life.
\nI write you these things about those who would deceive you.
\nAs for you,
\nthe anointing that you received from him remains in you,
\nso that you do not need anyone to teach you.
\nBut his anointing teaches you about everything and is true and not false;
\njust as it taught you, remain in him.<\/p>\n

And now, children, remain in him,
\nso that when he appears we may have confidence
\nand not be put to shame by him at his coming.<\/p>\n

Gospel –\u00a0John 1<\/span><\/h4>\n

This is the testimony of John.
\nWhen the Jews from Jerusalem sent priests and Levites to him
\nto ask him, “Who are you?”
\nHe admitted and did not deny it, but admitted,
\n“I am not the Christ.”
\nSo they asked him,
\n“What are you then? Are you Elijah?”
\nAnd he said, “I am not.”
\n“Are you the Prophet?”
\nHe answered, “No.”
\nSo they said to him,
\n“Who are you, so we can give an answer to those who sent us?
\nWhat do you have to say for yourself?”
\nHe said:
\n“I am\u00a0the voice of one crying out in the desert,
\n‘Make straight the way of the Lord,’<\/em>
\nas Isaiah the prophet said.”
\nSome Pharisees were also sent.
\nThey asked him,
\n“Why then do you baptize
\nif you are not the Christ or Elijah or the Prophet?”
\nJohn answered them,
\n“I baptize with water;
\nbut there is one among you whom you do not recognize,
\nthe one who is coming after me,
\nwhose sandal strap I am not worthy to untie.”
\nThis happened in Bethany across the Jordan,
\nwhere John was baptizing.<\/p>\n

This is the\u00a0Word of the Lord.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
