Second Collect, page 5. Lesson, IN those days, Isaias said, The Lord God hath Is. 50. opened mine ear, and I do not resist; I have not gone back. I have given my body to the strikers, and my cheeks to them that plucked them: I have not turned away my face from them that rebuked me and spit upon me. The Lord God is my helper, therefore am I not confounded: therefore have I set my face as a most hard rock, and I know that I shall not be confounded. He is near that justifieth me, who will contend with me? Let us stand together: who is my adversary? let him come near to me. Behold, the Lord God is my helper: who is he that shall condemn me? Lo, they all shall be destroyed as a garment, the moth shall eat them up.

Gospel, SIX before the Pasch, Jesus came John 12. : where Lazarus had been dead, whom Jesus raised to life. And they made Him a supper there and Martha served, but Lazarus was one of them that were at table with Him. Mary therefore took a pound of ointment of right spikenard, of great price, and anointed the feet of Jesus, and wiped His feet with her hair; and the house was filled with the odour of the ointment. Then said one of His disciples, Judas Iscariot, that was about to betray Him, Why was not this ointment sold for three hundred pence, and given to the poor? Now, this he said, not because he cared for the poor, but because he was a thief, and having the purse, carried what was put therein. But Jesus said, Let her alone, that she may keep it against the day of my burial. For the poor ye have always with you: but me, ye have not always. A great multitude therefore of the Jews knew that He was there; and they came, not for Jesus's sake only, but that they might see Lazarus, whom He had raised from the dead. Offert. Deliver me from mine enemies, O Lord; to Thee have I fled; teach me to do Thy will, because Thou art my God. Secret.
