Our Gospel for Dec 16. Becoming Prophetic Witnesses.

John 5:33-36   

Jesus said to the Jews:
"You sent emissaries to John, and he testified to the truth.

I do not accept testimony from a human being, but I say this so that you may be saved.
  
He was a burning and shining lamp, and for a while you were content to rejoice in his light.
  
But I have testimony greater than John's. The works that the Father gave me to accomplish, these works that I perform testify on my behalf that the Father has sent me."

 
Mga Patotoo Patungkol kay Jesus.

Juan 5:33-36

Winika ni Jesus sa mga Judio:
"May sinugo kayong mga Judio kay Juan at siya ay nagpatotoo sa katotohanan.

Hindi ako tumatanggap ng patotoo mula sa tao datapuwat sinasabi ko ang mga bagay na ito upang kayo ay maligtas.

Siya ang nagniningas at nagliliwanag na ilawan. Kayo ay pumayag na magalak ng maikling panahon sa kaniyang liwanag.

Ako ay may patotoong mas higit kaysa sa patotoo ni Juan. Ang mga gawain na ipinagkaloob sa akin ng Ama upang tapusin ay nagpapatotoo patungkol sa akin. Ang mga gawaing ginagawa ko ay nagpapatotoong ang Ama ang nagsugo sa akin."

Our Gospel for Dec 15. Are you the one who is to come, or should we look for another?

Luke 7:18b-23

At that time,
John summoned two of his disciples and sent them to the Lord to ask,
“Are you the one who is to come, or should we look for another?”
When the men came to the Lord, they said,
“John the Baptist has sent us to you to ask,
‘Are you the one who is to come, or should we look for another?’”
At that time Jesus cured many of their diseases, sufferings, and evil spirits;
he also granted sight to many who were blind.
And Jesus said to them in reply,
“Go and tell John what you have seen and heard:
the blind regain their sight,
the lame walk,
lepers are cleansed,
the deaf hear, the dead are raised,
the poor have the good news proclaimed to them.
And blessed is the one who takes no offense at me.”
