## Mass readings (US)

### First Reading: Acts 5:27-33

- 27 And when they had brought them, they stood them before the council. And the high priest questioned them,
- 28 and said: “We strongly order you not to teach in this name. For behold, you have filled Jerusalem with your doctrine, and you wish to bring the blood of this man upon us.”
- 29 But Peter and the Apostles responded by saying: “It is necessary to obey God, more so than men.
- 30 The God of our fathers has raised up Jesus, whom you put to death by hanging him on a tree.
- 31 It is he whom God has exalted at his right hand as Ruler and Savior, so as to offer repentance and the remission of sins to Israel.
- 32 And we are witnesses of these things, with the Holy Spirit, whom God has given to all who are obedient to him.”
- 33 When they had heard these things, they were deeply wounded, and they were planning to put them to death.

### Gospel: John 3:31-36

- 31 He who comes from above, is above everything. He who is from below, is of the earth, and he speaks about the earth. He who comes from heaven is above everything.
- 32 And what he has seen and heard, about this he testifies. And no one accepts his testimony.
- 33 Whoever has accepted his testimony has certified that God is truthful.
- 34 For he whom God has sent speaks the words of God. For God does not give the Spirit by measure.
- 35 The Father loves the Son, and he has given everything into his hand.
- 36 Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life. But whoever is unbelieving toward the Son shall not see life; instead the wrath of God remains upon 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.
