Catholic Public Domain Version Read in the CPDV: [The whole of Ephesians 1](https://blessbible.app/bible/ephesians/1/) ### Responsorial Psalm: Psalm 98:1, 2-3ab, 3cd-4, 5-6 Read in the CPDV: [Psalm 98 (97 in the Vulgate)](https://blessbible.app/bible/psalms/97/) ### Alleluia: John 14:6 Read in the CPDV: [John 14](https://blessbible.app/bible/john/14/) ### Gospel: Luke 11:47-54 - 47 Woe to you, who build the tombs of the prophets, while it is your fathers who killed them! - 48 Clearly, you are testifying that you consent to the actions of your fathers, because even though they killed them, you build their sepulchers. - 49 Because of this also, the wisdom of God said: I will send to them Prophets and Apostles, and some of these they will kill or persecute, - 50 so that the blood of all the Prophets, which has been shed since the foundation of the world, may be charged against this generation: - 51 from the blood of Abel, even to the blood of Zachariah, who perished between the altar and the sanctuary. So I say to you: it will be required of this generation! - 52 Woe to you, experts in the law! For you have taken away the key of knowledge. You yourselves do not enter, and those who were entering, you would have prohibited.” - 53 Then, while he was saying these things to them, the Pharisees and the experts in the law began to insist strongly that he restrain his mouth about many things. - 54 And waiting to ambush him, they sought something from his mouth that they might seize upon, in order to accuse him.

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. Spotted a wrong date, color or citation?
