Alleluia John 15:5

Read in the CPDV: John 15

Gospel Luke 17:20-25

  • 20Then he was questioned by the Pharisees: “When does the kingdom of God arrive?” And in response, he said to them: “The kingdom of God arrives unobserved.

  • 21And so, they will not say, ‘Behold, it is here,’ or ‘Behold, it is there.’ For behold, the kingdom of God is within you.”

  • 22And he said to his disciples: “The time will come when you will desire to see one day of the Son of man, and you will not see it.

  • 23And they will say to you, ‘Behold, he is here,’ and ‘Behold, he is there.’ Do not choose to go out, and do not follow them.

  • 24For just as lightning flashes from under heaven and shines to whatever is under heaven, so also will the Son of man be in his day.

  • 25But first he must suffer many things and be rejected by this generation.

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.
