When we were still helpless,
Christ died for the wicked at the time God chose.
One of us might dare to die for someone good.
But now we see God’s love;
while we were still sinners,
Christ died for us.
New Testament Reading - The martyrdom of James
27During this time some prophets came down from Jerusalem to Antioch, 28and one of them, named Agabus, stood up in one of the meetings to predict by the Spirit that a great famine was coming upon the land of Israel.a (This was fulfilled during the reign of Claudius.) 29So the believers decided to send relief to the Christians in Judea, each giving as much as he could. 30This they did, consigning their gifts to Barnabas and Paul to take to the elders of the church in Jerusalem.
12 1About that time King Herod moved against some of the believers 2and killed the apostlebJames (John’s brother). 3When Herod saw how much this pleased the Jewish leaders, he arrested Peter during the Passover celebration.
