First Reading
Acts 13:26-33
26"Brethren, sons of the family of Abraham, and those among you that fear God, to us has been sent the message of this salvation.
27For those who live in Jerusalem and their rulers, because they did not recognize him nor understand the utterances of the prophets which are read every sabbath, fulfilled these by condemning him.
28Though they could charge him with nothing deserving death, yet they asked Pilate to have him killed.
29And when they had fulfilled all that was written of him, they took him down from the tree, and laid him in a tomb.
30But God raised him from the dead;
31and for many days he appeared to those who came up with him from Galilee to Jerusalem, who are now his witnesses to the people.
32And we bring you the good news that what God promised to the fathers,
33this he has fulfilled to us their children by raising Jesus; as also it is written in the second psalm, `Thou art my Son, today I have begotten thee.'
Responsorial Psalm
Psalms 2:6-11
6"I have set my king on Zion, my holy hill."
7I will tell of the decree of the LORD: He said to me, "You are my son, today I have begotten you.
8Ask of me, and I will make the nations your heritage, and the ends of the earth your possession.
9You shall break them with a rod of iron, and dash them in pieces like a potter's vessel."
10Now therefore, O kings, be wise; be warned, O rulers of the earth.
11Serve the LORD with fear, with trembling
Gospel
John 14:1-6
1"Let not your hearts be troubled; believe in God, believe also in me.
2In my Father's house are many rooms; if it were not so, would I have told you that I go to prepare a place for you?
3And when I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and will take you to myself, that where I am you may be also.
4And you know the way where I am going."
5Thomas said to him, "Lord, we do not know where you are going; 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, but by me.
