Responsorial Psalm Psalm 102:2-3, 16-18, 19-21
Read in the CPDV: Psalm 102 (101 in the Vulgate)
Gospel John 8:21-30
21Therefore, Jesus again spoke to them: “I am going, and you shall seek me. And you will die in your sin. Where I am going, you are not able to go.”
22And so the Jews said, “Is he going to kill himself, for he said: ‘Where I am going, you are not able to go?’”
23And he said to them: “You are from below. I am from above. You are of this world. I am not of this world.
24Therefore, I said to you, that you will die in your sins. For if you will not believe that I am, you will die in your sin.”
25And so they said to him, “Who are you?” Jesus said to them: “The Beginning, who is also speaking to you.
26I have much to say about you and to judge. But he who sent me is true. And what I have heard from him, this I speak within the world.”
27And they did not realize that he was calling God his Father.
28And so Jesus said to them: “When you will have lifted up the Son of man, then you shall realize that I am, and that I do nothing of myself, but just as the Father has taught me, so do I speak.
29And he who sent me is with me, and he has not abandoned me alone. For I always do what is pleasing to him.”
30As he was speaking these things, many believed in him.

Citations as published in the USCCB liturgical calendar.
In US parishes the readings are proclaimed from the NABRE; the text shown here is the Catholic Public Domain Version.
Old Testament readings and the psalm are listed with a link to their chapter: the US Lectionary numbers some of their verses differently from the CPDV, so their text is not printed here. Psalm citations keep the Lectionary’s Hebrew numbering; the CPDV numbers the Psalms as the Vulgate does.
