  FIRST LECTURE OF THE MASS

  Acts 18:9-18

  9And the Lord said to Paul one night in a vision, "Do not be afraid, but speak and do not be silent;10for I am with you, and no man shall attack you to harm you;for I have many people in this city." 11And he stayed a year and six months, teaching the word of God among them. 12But when Gallio was proconsul of Acha'ia, the Jews made a united attack upon Paul and brought him before the tribunal, 13saying, "This man is persuading men to worship God contrary to the law." 14But when Paul was about to open his mouth, Gallio said to the Jews, "If it were a matter of wrongdoing or vicious crime, I should have reason to bear with you, O Jews;15but since it is a matter of questions about words and names and your own law, see to it yourselves;I refuse to be a judge of these things." 16And he drove them from the tribunal. 17And they all seized Sos'thenes, the ruler of the synagogue, and beat him in front of the tribunal. But Gallio paid no attention to this. 18After this Paul stayed many days longer, and then took leave of the brethren and sailed for Syria, and with him Priscilla and Aq'uila. At Cen'chre-ae he cut his hair, for he had a vow.

  RESPONSORIAL PSALM

  Psalms 47:2-7

  1Clap your hands, all peoples! Shout to God with loud songs of joy! 2For the LORD, the Most High, is terrible, a great king over all the earth. 3He subdued peoples under us, and nations under our feet. 4He chose our heritage for us, the pride of Jacob whom he loves. [Selah] 5God has gone up with a shout, the LORD with the sound of a trumpet. 6Sing praises to God, sing praises! Sing praises to our King, sing praises!

  GOSPEL OF THE MASS

  John 16:20-23

  20Truly, truly, I say to you, you will weep and lament, but the world will rejoice;you will be sorrowful, but your sorrow will turn into joy. 21When a woman is in travail she has sorrow, because her hour has come;but when she is delivered of the child, she no longer remembers the anguish, for joy that a child is born into the world. 22So you have sorrow now, but I will see you again and your hearts will rejoice, and no one will take your joy from you. 23In that day you will ask nothing of me. Truly, truly, I say to you, if you ask anything of the Father, he will give it to you in my name.

  FIRST LECTURE OF THE MASS

  Acts 12:24?13:5a

  The word of God continued to spread and grow.
  
  After Barnabas and Saul completed their relief mission,
  they returned to Jerusalem,
  taking with them John, who is called Mark.
  
  Now there were in the Church at Antioch prophets and teachers:
  Barnabas, Symeon who was called Niger, Lucius of Cyrene,
  Manaen who was a close friend of Herod the tetrarch, and Saul.
  While they were worshiping the Lord and fasting, the Holy Spirit said,
  "Set apart for me Barnabas and Saul
  for the work to which I have called them."
  Then, completing their fasting and prayer,
  they laid hands on them and sent them off.
  
  So they, sent forth by the Holy Spirit,
  went down to Seleucia
  and from there sailed to Cyprus.
  When they arrived in Salamis,
  they proclaimed the word of God in the Jewish synagogues.

  and may all the ends of the earth fear him!
  R. O God, let all the nations praise you!
  or:
  R. Alleluia.
  

  GOSPEL OF THE MASS

  Jn 12:44-50

  Jesus cried out and said,
  "Whoever believes in me believes not only in me
  but also in the one who sent me,
  and whoever sees me sees the one who sent me.
  I came into the world as light,
  so that everyone who believes in me might not remain in darkness.
  And if anyone hears my words and does not observe them,
  I do not condemn him,
  for I did not come to condemn the world but to save the world.
  Whoever rejects me and does not accept my words
  has something to judge him: the word that I spoke,
  it will condemn him on the last day,
  because I did not speak on my own,
  but the Father who sent me commanded me what to say and speak.
  And I know that his commandment is eternal life.
  So what I say, I say as the Father told me."
