First Reading Acts 13:26-33

26Noble brothers, sons of the stock of Abraham, and those among you who fear God, it is to you the Word of this salvation has been sent.
27For those who were living in Jerusalem, and its rulers, heeding neither him, nor the voices of the Prophets that are read on every Sabbath, fulfilled these by judging him.
28And although they found no case for death against him, they petitioned Pilate, so that they might put him to death.
29And when they had fulfilled everything that had been written about him, taking him down from the tree, they placed him in a tomb.
30Yet truly, God raised him up from the dead on the third day.
31And he was seen for many days by those who went up with him from Galilee to Jerusalem, who even now are his witnesses to the people.
32And we are announcing to you that the Promise, which was made to our fathers,
33has been fulfilled by God for our children by raising up Jesus, just as it has been written in the second Psalm also: ‘You are my Son. This day I have begotten you.’

Gospel John 14:1-6

1“Do not let your heart be troubled. You believe in God. Believe in me also.
2In my Father’s house, there are many dwelling places. If there were not, I would have told you. For I go to prepare a place for you.
3And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will return again, and then I will take you to myself, so that where I am, you also may be.
4And you know where I am going. And you know the way.”
5Thomas said to him, “Lord, we do not know where you are going, so how can we know the way?”
6Jesus said to him: “I am the Way, and the Truth, and the Life. No one comes to the Father, except through me.

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.
