Holy Gospel according to Saint John, Chapter 16, Verses 20 - 23
First Reading, Acts of the Apostles by Saint Paul Chapter 18, Verses 9 -18
Responsorial Psalm: Psalms  47: 2 -7


Holy Gospel:


20 Truly, I say to you, you will weep and mourn while the world rejoices. You will be sorrowful, but your sorrow will turn to joy. 21 A woman in childbirth is in distress because her time is at hand. But after the child is born, she no longer remembers her suffering because of such great joy: a human being is born into the world.

22 You feel sorrowful now, but I will see you again, and your hearts will rejoice. And no one will take your joy from you. 23 When that day comes you will not ask me anything. Truly, I say to you, whatever you ask the Father in my Name, he will give you.


First Reading
:

9 One night, in a vision, the Lord said to Paul, “Do not be afraid, but continue speaking and do not be silent, 10 for many people in this city are mine. I am with you, so no one will harm you.” 11 So Paul stayed a year and a half in that place, teaching the word of God among them.

12 When Gallio was governor of Achaia, the Jews made a unit­ed attack on Paul and brought him before the court. And they accused him, 13 “This man tries to persuade us to worship God in ways that are against the Law.”

14 Paul was about to speak in his own defense when Gallio said to the Jews, “If it were a matter of a misdeed or vicious crime, I would have to consider your complaint. 15 But since this is a quarrel about teach­ings and divine names that are proper to your own law, see to it your­selves: I refuse to judge such matters.” 16 And he sent them out of the court.

17 Then the people seized Sosthenes, a leading man of the synagogue, and beat him in front of the tribunal; but Gallio paid no attention to it.

18 Paul stayed on with the disciples in Corinth for many days; he then left them and sailed off with Priscilla and Aquila for Syria. And as he was no longer under a vow he had taken, he shaved his head before sailing from Cenchreae.



Responsorial Psalm: God is King of all the earth.

2 Clap your hands, all you peoples;
acclaim God with shouts of joy.

3 For the Lord, the Most High, is to be feared;
he is a great king all over the earth.

4 He brings peoples under our dominion
and puts nations under our feet.

5 He chose our inheritance for us –
the pride of Jacob whom he loves!

6 God ascends amid joyful shouts,
the Lord amid trumpet blasts.

7 Sing praises to God, sing praises!
Sing praises to our King, sing praises!
