And it drew near to me. - 6 And looking into it, I considered and saw the four-footed beasts of the earth, and the wild beasts, and the reptiles, and the flying things of the air. - 7 Then I also heard a voice saying to me: ‘Rise up, Peter. Kill and eat.’ - 8 But I said: ‘Never, lord! For what is common or unclean has never entered into my mouth.’ - 9 Then the voice responded a second time from heaven, ‘What God has cleansed, you shall not call common.’ - 10 Now this was done three times. And then everything was taken up again into heaven. - 11 And behold, immediately there were three men standing near the house where I was, having been sent to me from Caesarea. - 12 Then the Spirit told me that I should go with them, doubting nothing. And these six brothers went with me also. And we entered into the house of the man. - 13 And he described for us how he had seen an Angel in his house, standing and saying to him: ‘Send to Joppa and summon Simon, who is surnamed Peter. - 14 And he shall speak to you words, by which you shall be saved with your whole house.’ - 15 And when I had begun to speak, the Holy Spirit fell upon them, just as upon us also, in the beginning. - 16 Then I remembered the words of the Lord, just as he himself said: ‘John, indeed, baptized with water, but you shall be baptized with the Holy Spirit.’ - 17 Therefore, if God gave them the same grace, as also to us, who have believed in the Lord Jesus Christ, who was I, that I would be able to prohibit God?” - 18 Having heard these things, they were silent. And they glorified God, saying: “So has God also given to the Gentiles repentance unto life.” Catholic Public Domain Version Read in the CPDV: [The whole of Acts 11](https://blessbible.app/bible/acts/11/) ### Responsorial Psalm: Psalm 42:2-3; 43:3, 4 Read in the CPDV: [Psalm 42 (41 in the Vulgate)](https://blessbible.app/bible/psalms/41/) [Psalm 43 (42 in the Vulgate)](https://blessbible.app/bible/psalms/42/) ### Alleluia: John 10:14 Read in the CPDV: [John 10](https://blessbible.app/bible/john/10/) ### Gospel: John 10:1-10 - 1 “Amen, amen, I say to you, he who does not enter through the door into the fold of the sheep, but climbs up by another way, he is a thief and a robber. - 2 But he who enters through the door is the shepherd of the sheep. - 3 To him the doorkeeper opens, and the sheep hear his voice, and he calls his own sheep by name, and he leads them out. - 4 And when he has sent out his sheep, he goes before them, and the sheep follow him, because they know his voice. - 5 But they do not follow a stranger; instead they flee from him, because they do not know the voice of strangers.” - 6 Jesus spoke this proverb to them. But they did not understand what he was saying to them. - 7 Therefore, Jesus spoke to them again: “Amen, amen, I say to you, that I am the door of the sheep. - 8 All others, as many as have come, are thieves and robbers, and the sheep did not listen to them. - 9 I am the door. If anyone has entered through me, he will be saved. And he shall go in and go out, and he shall find pastures. - 10 The thief does not come, except so that he may steal and slaughter and destroy. I have come so that they may have life, and have it more abundantly. Catholic Public Domain Version Read in the CPDV: [The whole of John 10](https://blessbible.app/bible/john/10/) 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. Spotted a wrong date, color or citation?
