Gospel Matthew 16:24-28

  • 24Then Jesus said to his disciples: “If anyone is willing to come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.

  • 25For whoever would save his life, will lose it. But whoever will have lost his life for my sake, shall find it.

  • 26For how does it benefit a man, if he gains the whole world, yet truly suffers damage to his soul? Or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?

  • 27For the Son of man will arrive in the glory of his Father, with his Angels. And then he will repay each one according to his works.

  • 28Amen I say to you, there are some among those standing here, who shall not taste death, until they see the Son of man arriving in his reign.”

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.
