But if anyone has sinned, we have an Advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ, the Just One. - 2 And he is the propitiation for our sins. And not only for our sins, but also for those of the whole world. - 3 And we can be sure that we have known him by this: if we observe his commandments. - 4 Whoever claims that he knows him, and yet does not keep his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him. - 5 But whoever keeps his word, truly in him the charity of God is perfected. And by this we know that we are in him.

Luke 24:32 Read in the CPDV: [Luke 24](https://blessbible.app/bible/luke/24/) ### Gospel: Luke 24:35-48 - 35 And they explained the things that were done on the way, and how they had recognized him at the breaking of the bread. - 36 Then, while they were talking about these things, Jesus stood in their midst, And he said to them: “Peace be with you. It is I. Do not be afraid.” - 37 Yet truly, they were very disturbed and terrified, supposing that they saw a spirit. - 38 And he said to them: “Why are you disturbed, and why do these thoughts rise up in your hearts? - 39 See my hands and feet, that it is I myself. Look and touch. For a spirit does not have flesh and bones, as you see that I have.” - 40 And when he had said this, he showed them his hands and feet. - 41 Then, while they were still in disbelief and in wonder out of joy, he said, “Do you have anything here to eat?” - 42 And they offered him a piece of roasted fish and a honeycomb. - 43 And when he had eaten these in their sight, taking up what was left, he gave it to them. - 44 And he said to them: “These are the words that I spoke to you when I was still with you, because all things must be fulfilled which are written in the law of Moses, and in the Prophets, and in the Psalms about me.” - 45 Then he opened their mind, so that they might understand the Scriptures. - 46 And he said to them: “For so it is written, and so it was necessary, for the Christ to suffer and to rise up from the dead on the third day, - 47 and, in his name, for repentance and the remission of sins to be preached, among all the nations, beginning at Jerusalem. - 48 And you are witnesses of these things.

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. Spotted a wrong date, color or citation?
