god the lord is gracious and merciful the lord is gracious merciful the lord is gracious and merciful slow to anger and of great kindness the lord is good to all and compassionate toward all his works the lord is gracious and immerses the lord is faithful in all his words and holy and all his works lord be with you reading from the holy gospel according to john she says answered the jews my father is at work until now or so i am at work for this reason they tried all the more to kill him because he not only broke the sabbath but he also called god his own father making himself equal to god jesus answered and said to them you man him and i say to you this son can not do anything on his own but only what he sees the father doing what he does the s will also do for the father loves the son and shows him everything that he himself does and he will show him greater works than these so that you may be amazed or just says the father raises the  just as the father has life in him self so also he gave to the son the possession of life in himself and he gave him power to exercise judgment because he is the son of men  not be amazed at this because the hour is coming in which all who are in the tombs will hear his voice and will come out those who have done good things to the resurrection of life with those who have done wicked deeds to the resurrection of of nation i cannot do anything on my own i judge as a here in my judgment is just because i do not seek my own will but the will of the one who sent me the gospel of the lord during this time eventual go through it a number of gospels from st john a number of readings from st john's gospel that speak in very theological and very  unworldly ways of jesus talking about himself when he came to do and when he came to share with other people most important thing of what we hear over and over again is that he  he calls him son him self the son and he talks about what the son is going to do or has done only because the father wills it because the father sent him to do it now we two thousand years later  reading or hearing the gospel of john understand the theology we understand the relationship of god the father in god the son in god the holy spirit it's part of the very foundation of the christian life o christian faith the people who listen to him as we heard in the very beginning of today's gospel listened to these words and were ready to kill him because of these very words these very concepts that he was putting in front of their faces in front of their lives not only did he violate the sabbath according to the leaders of the people but he made himself to be equal to god now certainly that's enough in their minds to say this person has to be got rid of we have to make sure that he doesn't keep talking about these things because they heard our ears they heard our our souls because they're so different from what we believe in that's that's how they felt that's the ultimate bottom line for what they continue to plot and to venture lead to do to plan his death and planned his destruction and putting him off the field and that worrying about him anymore because they got rid of him now we again two thousand years later with years of liturgy and theology and biblical scholarship we know what happened but we also know that on the third day he rose again so between now and the in holy week we will listen to many of the few logical  gifts that jesus was giving to the leaders and people who never accepted them who rejected them and who used them against him but we we know better and we thank god for giving us the insight into who jesus was  he did what he did because he was the son of man and the son of the father the name of the father and of the son of the holy spirit a member

spirit is like the juice will so that they may become for us the body and blood of our lord jesus christ's time he was betrayed and entered willingly to bridge giving thanks broke it and gave it to his disciples saying take his soul the viewing eat of it with this is my body which will be given up for you the similar way when supper was ended he took the chalice once for giving thanks he gave it to his disciples saying take this overview and drink from it but this is the cellists of my blood the blood of the new an eternal covenant which will be poor for you and for many for the forgiveness of sins do this in memory of me giving thanks that you have held us worthy to be in your presence and minister to you humbly we pray the protecting of the body and blood of christ we may be gathered
