First ReadingActs 4:8-12
8Then Peter, filled with the Holy Spirit, said to them: “Leaders of the people and elders, listen.
9If we today are judged by a good deed done to an infirm man, by which he has been made whole,
10let it be known to all of you and to all of the people of Israel, that in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ the Nazarene, whom you crucified, whom God has raised from the dead, by him, this man stands before you, healthy.
11He is the stone, which was rejected by you, the builders, which has become the head of the corner.
12And there is no salvation in any other. For there is no other name under heaven given to men, by which it is necessary for us to be saved.”
1See what kind of love the Father has given to us, that we would be called, and would become, the sons of God. Because of this, the world does not know us, for it did not know him.
2Most beloved, we are now the sons of God. But what we shall be then has not yet appeared. We know that when he does appear, we shall be like him, for we shall see him as he is.
11I am the good Shepherd. The good Shepherd gives his life for his sheep.
12But the hired hand, and whoever is not a shepherd, to whom the sheep do not belong, he sees the wolf approaching, and he departs from the sheep and flees. And the wolf ravages and scatters the sheep.
13And the hired hand flees, because he is a hired hand and there is no concern for the sheep within him.
14I am the good Shepherd, and I know my own, and my own know me,
15just as the Father knows me, and I know the Father. And I lay down my life for my sheep.
16And I have other sheep that are not of this fold, and I must lead them. They shall hear my voice, and there shall be one sheepfold and one shepherd.
17For this reason, the Father loves me: because I lay down my life, so that I may take it up again.
18No one takes it away from me. Instead, I lay it down of my own accord. And I have the power to lay it down. And I have the power to take it up again. This is the commandment that I have received from my Father.”
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.
