Daniel states, "I continued watching the nocturnal vision: One like a son of man came on the clouds of heaven. He faced the One of Great Age and was brought into his presence.

Second Reading (Revelation 1: 5–8)

From Jesus Christ, the faithful witness, the first-born of the dead, the ruler of the kings of the earth. To him who loves us and has washed away our sins with his own blood, making us a kingdom and priests for God his Father, to him be the glory and power for ever and ever. Amen. See he comes with the clouds and everyone will see him, even those who pierced him; on his account all the nations of the earth will beat his breast. Yes, it will be so. "I am the Alpha and the Omega," says the Lord God, he who is, who was and who is to come: the Master of the universe.
Gospel (John 18: 33b–37)
A reading from the holy Gospel according to John.
Pilate called Jesus and asked him, "Are you the King of the Jews?" Jesus replied, "Does this word come from your own accord, or did you hear it from others?" Pilate answered, "Am I a Jew? Your own nation and the chief priests have handed you over to me. What have you done?" Jesus answered, "My kingship does not come from this world. If I were a king of this world, my guards would have fought to save me from being handed over to the Jews. But my kingship is not from here." Pilate asked him, "So you are a king, then?" Jesus replied, "Just as you say, I am a king. For this I was born and for this I have come into the world, to bear witness to the truth. Everyone who is on the side of truth can hear my voice."

The Lord reigns, robed in majesty; the Lord is girded with strength.
The world is now firm, it cannot be moved. Your throne stands from long ago, O Lord, from all eternity you are.
Your decrees can be trusted; holiness dwells in your house day after day without end, O Lord.

Y de parte de Jesucristo, el testigo fiel, el primer nacido de entre los muertos, el rey de los reyes de la tierra. Él nos ama y por su sangre nos ha purificado de nuestros pecados, haciendo de nosotros un reino y una raza de sacerdotes de Dios, su Padre. A él la gloria y el poder por los siglos de los siglos. Amén. Miren, viene entre nubes; lo verán todos, incluso los que lo traspasaron, y llorarán por su muerte todas las naciones de la tierra. Sí, así será.

Evangelio (Juan 18: 33b-37)
Una lectura del Evangelio Santo según San Juan.
Pilato llamó a Jesús y le preguntó: “¿Eres tú el rey de los judíos?” Jesús le respondió: “¿Dices esto por ti mismo u otros te lo han dicho de mí?” Pilato explicó: “¿Acaso yo soy judío? Tus compatriotas y los sumos sacerdotes te han puesto en mis manos. ¿Qué es lo que has hecho?” Jesús respondió: “Mi realeza no es de este mundo. Si mi realeza fuera de este mundo, los que están a mi servicio habrían combatido para que yo no fuera entregado a los judíos. Pero mi realeza no es de aquí.” Pilato le dijo: “¿Entonces tú eres rey?” Jesús respondió: “Tú lo dices: yo soy rey. Para esto he nacido y he venido al mundo: para dar testimonio de la verdad. Él que es de la verdad, escucha mi voz.”
