    Sixth Sunday after the Epiphany

    O God, the strength of all who put their trust in you: Mercifully accept our prayers; and because in our weakness we can do nothing good without you, give us the help of your grace, that in keeping your commandments we may please you both in will and deed; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.

    Psalms

    66

    Jubilate DeoBCP p. 673

    1Be joyful in God, all you lands; *sing the glory of his Name; sing the glory of his praise.

    2Say to God, “How awesome are your deeds! *because of your great strength your enemies cringe before you.

    3All the earth bows down before you, *sings to you, sings out your Name.”

    4Come now and see the works of God, *how wonderful he is in his doing toward all people.

    5He turned the sea into dry land, so that they went through the water on foot, *and there we rejoiced in him.

    6In his might he rules for ever; his eyes keep watch over the nations; *let no rebel rise up against him.

    7Bless our God, you peoples; *make the voice of his praise to be heard;

    8Who holds our souls in life, *and will not allow our feet to slip.

    9For you, O God, have proved us; *you have tried us just as silver is tried.

    10You brought us into the snare; *you laid heavy burdens upon our backs.

    11You let enemies ride over our heads; we went through fire and water; *but you brought us out into a place of refreshment.

    12I will enter your house with burnt-offerings and will pay you my vows, *which I promised with my lips and spoke with my mouth when I was in trouble.

    13I will offer you sacrifices of fat beasts with the smoke of rams; *I will give you oxen and goats.

    14Come and listen, all you who fear God, *and I will tell you what he has done for me.

    15I called out to him with my mouth, *and his praise was on my tongue.

    16If I had found evil in my heart, *the Lord would not have heard me;

    17But in truth God has heard me; *he has attended to the voice of my prayer.

    18Blessed be God, who has not rejected my prayer, *nor withheld his love from me.

    67

    Deus misereaturBCP p. 675

    1May God be merciful to us and bless us, *show us the light of his countenance and come to us.

    2Let your ways be known upon earth, *your saving health among all nations.

    3Let the peoples praise you, O God; *let all the peoples praise you.

    4Let the nations be glad and sing for joy, *for you judge the peoples with equity and guide all the nations upon earth.

    5Let the peoples praise you, O God; *let all the peoples praise you.

    6The earth has brought forth her increase; *may God, our own God, give us his blessing.

    7May God give us his blessing, *and may all the ends of the earth stand in awe of him.

    1 John 2:3-11

    3 Now by this we may be sure that we know him, if we obey his commandments. 4 Whoever says, “I have come to know him,” but does not obey his commandments, is a liar, and in such a person the truth does not exist; 5 but whoever obeys his word, truly in this person the love of God has reached perfection. By this we may be sure that we are in him: 6 whoever says, “I abide in him,” ought to walk just as he walked. 7 Beloved, I am writing you no new commandment, but an old commandment that you have had from the beginning; the old commandment is the word that you have heard. 8 Yet I am writing you a new commandment that is true in him and in you, because the darkness is passing away and the true light is already shining. 9 Whoever says, “I am in the light,” while hating a brother or sister, is still in the darkness. 10 Whoever loves a brother or sister lives in the light, and in such a person there is no cause for stumbling. 11 But whoever hates another believer is in the darkness, walks in the darkness, and does not know the way to go, because the darkness has brought on blindness.

    Isa. 62:6-12

    6 Upon your walls, O Jerusalem, I have posted sentinels; all day and all night they shall never be silent. You who remind the Lord, take no rest, 7 and give him no rest until he establishes Jerusalem and makes it renowned throughout the earth. 8 The Lord has sworn by his right hand and by his mighty arm: I will not again give your grain to be food for your enemies, and foreigners shall not drink the wine for which you have labored; 9 but those who garner it shall eat it and praise the Lord, and those who gather it shall drink it in my holy courts. 10 Go through, go through the gates, prepare the way for the people; build up, build up the highway, clear it of stones, lift up an ensign over the peoples. 11 The Lord has proclaimed to the end of the earth: Say to daughter Zion, “See, your salvation comes; his reward is with him, and his recompense before him.” 12 They shall be called, “The Holy People, The Redeemed of the Lord”; and you shall be called, “Sought Out, A City Not Forsaken.”

    John 8:12-19

    12 Again Jesus spoke to them, saying, “I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness but will have the light of life.” 13 Then the Pharisees said to him, “You are testifying on your own behalf; your testimony is not valid.” 14 Jesus answered, “Even if I testify on my own behalf, my testimony is valid because I know where I have come from and where I am going, but you do not know where I come from or where I am going. 15 You judge by human standards; I judge no one. 16 Yet even if I do judge, my judgment is valid; for it is not I alone who judge, but I and the Father who sent me. 17 In your law it is written that the testimony of two witnesses is valid. 18 I testify on my own behalf, and the Father who sent me testifies on my behalf.” 19 Then they said to him, “Where is your Father?” Jesus answered, “You know neither me nor my Father. If you knew me, you would know my Father also.”
