And he brought out of him a man of mercy, Which found favor in the sight of all flesh; A man beloved of God and men, even Moses, Whose memorial is blessed. He made him like to the glory of the saints, And magnified him in the fears of his enemies. By his words he caused the wonders to cease; He glorified him in the sight of kings; He gave him commandment for his people, And showed him part of his glory. He sanctified him in his faithfulness and meekness; He chose him out of all flesh. He made him to hear his voice, And led him into the thick darkness, And gave him commandments face to face, Even the law of life and knowledge, That he might teach Jacob the covenant, And Israel his judgments. He exalted Aaron, a holy man like to him, Even his brother, of the tribe of Levi.

Evangelium

Matthæus 5:43-48

I have hørt, at der er sagt: Du skal elske din Næste og hade din Fjende. Men jeg siger eder: Elsker eders Fjender, velsigner dem, som forbande eder, gører dem godt, som hade eder, og beder for dem, som krænke eder og forfølge eder, for at I maa vorde eders Faders Børn, han, som er i Himlene; thi han lader sin Sol opgaa over onde og gode og lader det regne over retfærdige og uretfærdige. Thi dersom I elske dem, som elske eder, hvad Løn have I da? Gøre ikke ogsaa Tolderne det samme? Og dersom I hilse eders Brødre alene, hvad stort gøre I da? Gøre ikke ogsaa Hedningerne det samme? Værer da I fuldkomne, ligesom eders himmelske Fader er fuldkommen.
