First Reading Acts 8:1b-8

1Now in those days, there occurred a great persecution against the Church at Jerusalem. And they were all dispersed throughout the regions of Judea and Samaria, except the Apostles.
2But God-fearing men arranged for Stephen’s funeral, and they made a great mourning over him.
3Then Saul was laying waste to the Church by entering throughout the houses, and dragging away men and women, and committing them to prison.
4Therefore, those who had been dispersed were traveling around, evangelizing the Word of God.
5Now Philip, descending to a city of Samaria, was preaching Christ to them.
6And the crowd was listening intently and with one accord to those things which were being said by Philip, and they were watching the signs which he was accomplishing.
7For many of them had unclean spirits, and, crying out with a loud voice, these departed from them.
8And many of the paralytics and the lame were cured.

Gospel John 6:35-40

35Then Jesus said to them: “I am the bread of life. Whoever comes to me shall not hunger, and whoever believes in me shall never thirst.
36But I say to you, that even though you have seen me, you do not believe.
37All that the Father gives to me shall come to me. And whoever comes to me, I will not cast out.
38For I descended from heaven, not to do my own will, but the will of him who sent me.
39Yet this is the will of the Father who sent me: that I should lose nothing out of all that he has given to me, but that I should raise them up on the last day.
40So then, this is the will of my Father who sent me: that everyone who sees the Son and believes in him may have eternal life, and I will raise him up on the last day.”

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.
