PAUL'S LETTER TO THE GALATIANS 2:11-16</div><div class="PARAGRAPH_TEXT pb-3">Brethren, when Cephas came to Antioch I opposed him to his face, because he stood condemned. For before certain men came from James, he ate with the Gentiles; but when they came he drew back and separated himself, fearing the circumcision party. And with him the rest of the Jews acted insincerely, so that even Barnabas was carried away by their insincerity. But when I saw that they were not straightforward about the truth of the gospel, I said to Cephas before them all, "if you, though a Jew, live like a Gentile and not like a Jew, how can you compel the Gentiles to live like Jews?" We ourselves, who are Jews by birth and not Gentile sinners, yet who know that a man is not justified by works of the law but through faith in Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Christ Jesus, in order to be justified by faith in Christ, and not by works of the law, because by works of the law shall no one be justified.</div><div class="PARAGRAPH_TITLE">MARK 5:24-34</div><div class="PARAGRAPH_TEXT pb-3">At that time, a great crowd followed Jesus and thronged about him. And there was a woman who had had a flow of blood for twelve years, and who had suffered much under many physicians, and had spent all that she had, and was no better but rather grew worse. She had heard the reports about Jesus, and came up behind him in the crowd and touched his garment. For she said, "If I touch even his garments, I shall be made well." And immediately the hemorrhage ceased; and she felt in her body that she was healed of her disease. And Jesus, perceiving in himself that power had gone forth from him, immediately turned about in the crowd, and said, "Who touched my garments?" And his disciples said to him, "You see the crowd pressing around you, and yet you say, 'Who touched me?'" And he looked around to see who had done it. But the woman, knowing what had been done to her, came in fear and trembling and fell down before him, and told him the whole truth. And he said to her, "Daughter, your faith has made you well; go in peace, and be healed of your disease."</div></div><div class="pb-3"><div class="SECTION_TITLE" style="width:100%; margin: 30px 0px 0px 0px; padding-bottom: 10px;">Today's Thought</div></div><div class="PARAGRAPH_TEXT pb-3 mb-3"><p style='text - align: justify; '>“The Lord grant mercy to the household of Onesiphorus, for he often refreshed me, and was not ashamed of my chain; but when he arrived in Rome, he sought me out very zealously and found me. The Lord grant to him that he may find mercy from the Lord in that Day—and you know very well how many ways he ministered to me at Ephesus.” II Tim 1:13-18</p></div></div> </div></div></div> </div></div></div></div></div> </div> </div> <div style="clear:both; margin-bottom: 20px;"></div> <div id="T19_content_c_bg"><div id="T19_content_c_div_middle_non"><div id="T19_content_c"> <div id="T19_footer_links_c"> <div id="T19_footer_pbows" class="CAPTION_TEXT">Powered by <a href="http://orthodoxws.com" target="new">Orthodox Web Solutions</a></div> <div id="T19_footer_links" class="CAPTION_TEXT"><a href="https://saint-matthew.net/">Home</a> | <a href="javascript:history.back()">Back</a> | <a href="javascript:print_preview('https://saint-matthew.net/akathists-print.html')">Print</a> | <a href="#TOP">Top</a></div> </div> </div></div></div> </div></div> </div> <a id="back-to-the-top" class="back-to-the-top bttt-positionLeft bttt-default " data-animation="easeInOutQuart" data-speed="1500" data-offset="150"><i class="fas fa-chevron-up" style="line-height: 48px;"></i></a> <script src="/public/scripts/scroll-to-top/scripts/bttt.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script> <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="/public/scripts/scroll-to-top/css/bttt.black.css"> <style> .back-to-the-top { background: black; color: #ffffff !important; } .back-to-the-top:hover, .back-to-the-top:visited, .back-to-the-top:focus { color: #ffffff !important; } .back-to-the-top.bttt-border { border: 2px solid black !important; background: #fff !important; color: black !important; } .back-to-the-top.bttt-border:after { border: 1px solid black !important; } </style> <script type="text/javascript" language="javascript" ></script> <div id="sm-callout" class="hidden d-none callout-bordered mt-1"> <div class="media"> <div id="sm-callout-icon-bg" class="media-left media-middle px-2"> <i id="sm-callout-icon" class=""></i> </div> <div class="media-body p-1"> <strong id="sm-callout-title"></strong> <p id="sm-callout-message"></p> </div> </div> </div> </body> </html>
