Responsorial Psalm Psalm 102:2-3, 16-18, 19-21
Read in the CPDV: Psalm 102 (101 in the Vulgate)
Gospel John 8:21-30
21Therefore, Jesus again spoke to them: “I am going, and you shall seek me. And you will die in your sin. Where I am going, you are not able to go.”
22And so the Jews said, “Is he going to kill himself, for he said: ‘Where I am going, you are not able to go?’”
23And he said to them: “You are from below. I am from above. You are of this world. I am not of this world.
24Therefore, I said to you, that you will die in your sins. For if you will not believe that I am, you will die in your sin.”
25And so they said to him, “Who are you?” Jesus said to them: “The Beginning, who is also speaking to you.
26I have much to say about you and to judge. But he who sent me is true. And what I have heard from him, this I speak within the world.”
27And they did not realize that he was calling God his Father.
28And so Jesus said to them: “When you will have lifted up the Son of man, then you shall realize that I am, and that I do nothing of myself, but just as the Father has taught me, so do I speak.
29And he who sent me is with me, and he has not abandoned me alone. For I always do what is pleasing to him.”
30As he was speaking these things, many believed in him.

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.
