Year B, 5th Sunday of Easter

At Home with the Lectionary

In this episode, we discuss the readings for the fifth Sunday of Easter, Year B in the Lectionary cycle: Acts 8:26-40; Psalm 22:24-30; 1 John 4:7-21; John 15:1-8.
We consider the baptism of the Ethiopian eunuch, John's teaching on love of God and neighbor, and Jesus' metaphor of abiding in the vine.
