TRINITY SUNDAY
Revelations 4:1-11
After this I looked, and, behold, a door was
opened in heaven and the first voice which I heard was as it were of a trumpet
talking with me; which said, Come up hither, and I will shew thee things which
must be hereafter.
2 And immediately I was in the spirit and,
behold, a throne was set in heaven, and one sat on the throne.
3 And he that sat was to look upon like a
jasper and a sardine stone and there was a rainbow round about the throne, in
sight like unto an emerald.
4 And round about the throne were four and
twenty seats and upon the seats I saw four and twenty elders sitting, clothed
in white raiment; and they had on their heads crowns of gold.
5 And out of the throne proceeded lightnings
and thunderings and voices and there were seven lamps of fire burning before
the throne, which are the seven Spirits of God.
6 And before the throne there was a sea of
glass like unto crystal and in the midst of the throne, and round about the
throne, were four beasts full of eyes before and behind.
7 And the first beast was like a lion, and
the second beast like a calf, and the third beast had a face as a man, and the
fourth beast was like a flying eagle.
8 And the four beasts had each of them six
wings about him; and they were full of eyes within and they rest not day and
night, saying, Holy, holy, holy, Lord God Almighty, which was, and is, and is
to come.
9 And when those beasts give glory and
honour and thanks to him that sat on the throne, who liveth for ever and ever,
10 The four and twenty elders fall down
before him that sat on the throne, and worship him that liveth for ever and
ever, and cast their crowns before the throne, saying,
11 Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory
and honour and power for thou hast created all things, and for thy pleasure
they are and were created.

John 3:1-15
There was a man of the Pharisees, named
Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews
2 The same came to Jesus by night, and said
unto him, Rabbi, we know that thou art a teacher come from God for no man can
do these miracles that thou doest, except God be with him.
3 Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily,
verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God .
4 Nicodemus saith unto him, How can a man be
born when he is old? can he enter the second time into his mother's womb, and
be born?
5 Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto
thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God .
6 That which is born of the flesh is flesh;
and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.
7 Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must
be born again.
8 The wind bloweth where it listeth, and
thou hearest the sound thereof, but canst not tell whence it cometh, and
whither it goeth so is every one that is born of the Spirit.
9 Nicodemus answered and said unto him, How
can these things be?
10 Jesus answered and said unto him, Art
thou a master of Israel ,
and knowest not these things?
11 Verily, verily, I say unto thee, We speak
that we do know, and testify that we have seen; and ye receive not our witness.
12 If I have told you earthly things, and ye
believe not, how shall ye believe, if I tell you of heavenly things?
13 And no man hath ascended up to heaven,
but he that came down from heaven, even the Son of man which is in heaven.
14 And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the
wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up
15 That whosoever believeth in him should
not perish, but have eternal life.
