Traditional Latin Mass Gospel Readings - A podcast by Ken Hagen

⁠28 ⁠And fear ye not them that kill the body, and are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him that can destroy both soul and body in hell.Et nolite timere eos qui occidunt corpus, animam autem non possunt occidere : sed potius timete eum, qui potest et animam et corpus perdere in gehennam. ⁠ 29 ⁠Are not two sparrows sold for a farthing? and not one of them shall fall on the ground without your Father.Nonne duo passeres asse veneunt? et unus ex illis non cadet super terram sine Patre vestro. ⁠ 30 ⁠But the very hairs of your head are all numbered.Vestri autem capilli capitis omnes numerati sunt. ⁠ 31 ⁠Fear not therefore: better are you than many sparrows.Nolite ergo timere : multis passeribus meliores estis vos. ⁠ 32 ⁠Every one therefore that shall confess me before men, I will also confess him before my Father who is in heaven.Omnis ergo qui confitebitur me coram hominibus, confitebor et ego eum coram Patre meo, qui in caelis est. ⁠ 33 ⁠But he that shall deny me before men, I will also deny him before my Father who is in heaven.Qui autem negaverit me coram hominibus, negabo et ego eum coram Patre meo, qui in caelis est.
