First Reading –\u00a01 John 3<\/span><\/h4>\n

Children, let no one deceive you.
\nThe person who acts in righteousness is righteous,
\njust as he is righteous.
\nWhoever sins belongs to the Devil,
\nbecause the Devil has sinned from the beginning.
\nIndeed, the Son of God was revealed to destroy the works of the Devil.
\nNo one who is begotten by God commits sin,
\nbecause God’s seed remains in him;
\nhe cannot sin because he is begotten by God.
\nIn this way,
\nthe children of God and the children of the Devil are made plain;
\nno one who fails to act in righteousness belongs to God,
\nnor anyone who does not love his brother.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Gospel –\u00a0John 1<\/span><\/h4>\n

John was standing with two of his disciples,
\nand as he watched Jesus walk by, he said,
\n“Behold, the Lamb of God.”
\nThe two disciples heard what he said and followed Jesus.
\nJesus turned and saw them following him and said to them,
\n“What are you looking for?”
\nThey said to him, “Rabbi” (which translated means Teacher),
\n“where are you staying?”
\nHe said to them, “Come, and you will see.”
\nSo they went and saw where he was staying,
\nand they stayed with him that day.
\nIt was about four in the afternoon.
\nAndrew, the brother of Simon Peter,
\nwas one of the two who heard John and followed Jesus.
\nHe first found his own brother Simon and told him,
\n“We have found the Messiah,” which is translated Christ.
\nThen he brought him to Jesus.
\nJesus looked at him and said,
\n“You are Simon the son of John;
\nyou will be called Cephas,” which is translated Peter.<\/p>\n
