He has the power to build up, and to give an inheritance to all who are sanctified. - 33 I have coveted neither silver and gold, nor apparel, - 34 as you yourselves know. For that which was needed by me and by those who are with me, these hands have provided. - 35 I have revealed all things to you, because by laboring in this way, it is necessary to support the weak and to remember the words of the Lord Jesus, how he said, ‘It is more blessed to give than to receive.’” - 36 And when he had said these things, kneeling down, he prayed with all of them. - 37 Then a great weeping occurred among them all. And, falling upon the neck of Paul, they kissed him, - 38 being grieved most of all over the word which he had said, that they would never see his face again. And they brought him to the ship.

Father most holy, preserve them in your name, those whom you have given to me, so that they may be one, even as we are one. - 12 While I was with them, I preserved them in your name. I have guarded those whom you have given to me, and not one of them is lost, except the son of perdition, so that the Scripture may be fulfilled. - 13 And now I am coming to you. But I am speaking these things in the world, so that they may have the fullness of my joy within themselves. - 14 I have given them your word, and the world has hated them. For they are not of the world, just as I, too, am not of the world. - 15 I am not praying that you would take them out of the world, but that you would preserve them from evil. - 16 They are not of the world, just as I also am not of the world. - 17 Sanctify them in truth. Your word is truth. - 18 Just as you have sent me into the world, I also have sent them into the world. - 19 And it is for them that I sanctify myself, so that they, too, may be sanctified in truth.

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?
