### Gospel: John 7:40-53

- 40 Therefore, some from that crowd, when they had heard these words of his, were saying, “This one truly is the Prophet.”
- 41 Others were saying, “He is the Christ.” Yet certain ones were saying: “Does the Christ come from Galilee?
- 42 Does Scripture not say that the Christ comes from the offspring of David and from Bethlehem, the town where David was?”
- 43 And so there arose a dissension among the multitude because of him.
- 44 Now certain ones among them wanted to apprehend him, but no one laid hands upon him.
- 45 Therefore, the attendants went to the high priests and the Pharisees. And they said to them, “Why have you not brought him?”
- 46 The attendants responded, “Never has a man spoken like this man.”
- 47 And so the Pharisees answered them: “Have you also been seduced?
- 48 Have any of the leaders believed in him, or any of the Pharisees?
- 49 But this crowd, which does not know the law, they are accursed.”
- 50 Nicodemus, the one who came to him by night and who was one of them, said to them,
- 51 “Does our law judge a man, unless it has first heard him and has known what he has done?”
- 52 They responded and said to him: “Are you also a Galilean? Study the Scriptures, and see that a prophet does not arise from Galilee.”
- 53 And each one returned to his own house.

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.
