Catholic Public Domain Version Read in the CPDV: [The whole of Ephesians 3](https://blessbible.app/bible/ephesians/3/) ### Alleluia: Matthew 11:29ab Read in the CPDV: [Matthew 11](https://blessbible.app/bible/matthew/11/) ### Gospel: John 19:31-37 - 31 Then the Jews, because it was the preparation day, so that the bodies would not remain upon the cross on the Sabbath (for that Sabbath was a great day), they petitioned Pilate in order that their legs might be broken, and they might be taken away. - 32 Therefore, the soldiers approached, and, indeed, they broke the legs of the first one, and of the other who was crucified with him. - 33 But after they had approached Jesus, when they saw that he was already dead, they did not break his legs. - 34 Instead, one of the soldiers opened his side with a lance, and immediately there went out blood and water. - 35 And he who saw this has offered testimony, and his testimony is true. And he knows that he speaks the truth, so that you also may believe. - 36 For these things happened so that the Scripture would be fulfilled: “You shall not break a bone of him.” - 37 And again, another Scripture says: “They shall look upon him, whom they have pierced.” Catholic Public Domain Version Read in the CPDV: [The whole of John 19](https://blessbible.app/bible/john/19/) Computed by Bless from the US Lectionary cycle — confirm with your parish. 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?
