Read in the CPDV: Revelation 2
12But before all these things, they will lay their hands on you and persecute you, handing you over to synagogues and into custody, dragging you before kings and governors, because of my name.
13And this will be an opportunity for you to give testimony.
14Therefore, set this in your hearts: that you should not consider in advance how you might respond.
15For I will give to you a mouth and wisdom, which all your adversaries will not be able to resist or contradict.
16And you will be handed over by your parents, and brothers, and relatives, and friends. And they will bring about the death of some of you.
17And you will be hated by all because of my name.
18And yet, not a hair of your head will perish.
19By your patience, you shall possess your souls.

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.
