- 0:29The introit.
- 0:32Now I know in very deed that the Lord hath sent his angel and hath delivered me out of the hand of Herod, and from all the expectation of the people of the Jews. Lord, thou hast proved me and known me. Thou hast known my sitting down and my rising up. Glory be to the father, and to the son, and to the holy ghost as it was in the beginning, is now, and will be through all ages of ages. Amen.
- 1:11Now I know in very deed that the Lord hath sent his angel and hath delivered me out of the hand of Herod and from all the expectation of the people of the Jews. The Collect. Let us pray. O God, who hast made this day holy by the martyrdom of thine apostles Peter and Paul, grant that thy church may in all things follow the precepts of those through whom she received the beginnings of the faith. A commemoration of the octave of Saint John the Baptist.
- 1:56Oh God, who has made this day honorable to us on account of the birth of blessed John. Grant to thy people the grace of spiritual joys and direct the minds of all the faithful into the way of eternal salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ, thy son, who liveth and reigneth with thee in the unity of the Holy Ghost, God, through all ages of ages. Amen. A lesson from the acts of the apostles. In those days, Herod exerted his authority to persecute some of those who belonged to the church.
- 2:46James, the brother of John, he beheaded, and then finding that this was acceptable to the Jews he went further and laid hands on Peter too. It was the time of unleavened bread and he imprisoned Peter after arresting him with a guard of four soldiers relieved four times a day. When Paschal time was over, he would bring him out in the presence of the people. Peter then was well guarded in prison, but there was a continual stream of prayer going up to God from the church on his behalf. And now the day was coming when Herod was to bring him out.
- 3:35That night, Peter was sleeping with two chains on him between two soldiers and their rewarders at the door guarding the prison. Suddenly, an angel of the Lord stood over him and a light shone in his cell. He smote Peter on the side to rouse him. Quick, he said, rise up. And thereupon, the chains fell from his hands.
- 4:07Then the angel said to him, gird thyself up and put on thy shoes. And when he had done this, throw thy cloak over thee and follow me. So he followed him out unaware that what the angel had done for him was true. He thought he was seeing a vision. Thus, they passed one party of guards then a second and reached the iron gate which leads out into the city.
- 4:43This opened for them of its own accord. They came out and as soon as they had passed on up one street, the angel left him. At this, Peter came to himself. Now I can tell for certain, he said, that the Lord has sent his angel to deliver me out of Herod's hands and from all that the people of the Jews hoped to see. The gradual.
- 5:21Thou wilt divide a world between them for their domains. Thy name, O Lord, will never be forgotten. Children are born to thee to continue the line of their fathers. Thereupon shall nations do thee honor. Alleluia.
- 5:40Alleluia. Thou art Peter, and it is upon this rock that I will build my church. Alleluia. A continuation of the holy gospel according to Matthew. At that time, Jesus came into the neighborhood of Caesarea Philippi, and there he asked his disciples, what do men say of the son of man?
- 6:12Who do they think he is? Some say John the Baptist, they told him. Others, Elijah. Others, again, Jeremiah or one of the prophets. Jesus said to them, and what of you?
- 6:31Who do you say that I am? Then Simon Peter answered, Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God. And Jesus answered him, Blessed art thou, Simon, son of Jonah. It is not flesh and blood. It is my Father in heaven that has revealed this to you.
- 6:58And I tell thee this in my turn, that thou art Peter, and it is upon this rock, that I will build my church, and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. And I will give to thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven, and whatever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven, and whatever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven. The offertory. Thou shalt make them princes over all the earth. They shall remember thy name, O Lord, throughout all generations.
- 7:47The secret. May the prayer of the Apostles accompany the sacrifices which we bring to thee, O Lord, to be consecrated to thy name. And through that prayer grant that we may be cleansed and defended through our Lord Jesus Christ, thy son, who liveth and reigneth with thee in the unity of the Holy Ghost, God through all ages of ages. Amen. A commemoration of the octave of Saint John the Baptist.
- 8:27We heap our gifts upon thine altars, O Lord, as we celebrate with due honor the nativity of him who prophesied the coming and made known the presence of the world savior. Jesus Christ, thy son, our lord, who is god living and reigning with thee in the unity of the Holy Ghost through all ages of ages. Amen. The preface of apostles. Just it is indeed and fitting right in for our salvation, to entreat thee humbly, O Lord, that thou wouldst not desert thy flock, O everlasting shepherd.
- 9:15But through thy blessed apostles, wouldst keep it under thy constant protection, that it may be governed by those same rulers whom, as vicars of thy work, thou didst set over it to be its pastors. And therefore, with angels and archangels, with thrones and dominions, and with all the hosts of the heavenly army, we sing the hymn of thy glory, saying without ceasing. Holy, holy, holy, Lord God of hosts, the heavens and the earth are full of thy glory. Hosanna in the highest. Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord.
- 10:04Hosanna in the highest. The communion. Thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church. The post communion. Let us pray.
- 10:29Through the intercession of the apostles, do thou, oh, Lord, guard from all adversity those whom thou hast filled with heavenly food through our Lord Jesus Christ, thy son, who liveth and reigneth with thee in the unity of the Holy Ghost, God through all ages of ages. Amen. A commemoration of the octave of Saint John the Baptist. Let thy church, O Lord, rejoice at the birth of blessed John the Baptist through whom she came to know the author of her own new birth, Jesus Christ, thy son, our Lord, who is God, living and reigning with thee in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the holy ghost. Amen.
- 11:43Saint Peter, pray for us. Saint Paul, pray for us. Saint John the Baptist, pray for us.
