### Gospel: John 7:1-2, 10, 25-30

- 1 Then, after these things, Jesus was walking in Galilee. For he was not willing to walk in Judea, because the Jews were seeking to kill him.
- 2 Now the feast day of the Jews, the Feast of Tabernacles, was near.
- 10 But after his brothers went up, then he also went up to the feast day, not openly, but as if in secret.
- 25 Therefore, some of those from Jerusalem said: “Is he not the one whom they are seeking to kill?
- 26 And behold, he is speaking openly, and they say nothing to him. Could the leaders have decided that it is true this one is the Christ?
- 27 But we know him and where he is from. And when the Christ has arrived, no one will know where he is from.”
- 28 Therefore, Jesus cried out in the temple, teaching and saying: “You know me, and you also know where I am from. And I have not arrived of myself, but he who sent me is true, and him you do not know.
- 29 I know him. For I am from him, and he has sent me.”
- 30 Therefore, they were seeking to apprehend him, and yet no one laid hands on him, because his hour had not yet come.

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.
