New American Bible readings
First reading (Acts 1: 1–11)
A reading from the Acts of the Apostles.
In the first book, Theophilus, I dealt with all that Jesus did and taught until the day he was taken up, after giving instructions through the Holy Spirit to the apostles whom he had chosen. He presented himself alive to them by many proofs after he had suffered, appearing to them during forty days and speaking about the kingdom of God. While meeting with them, he enjoined them not to depart from Jerusalem, but to wait for "the promise of the Father about which you have heard me speak; for John baptized with water, but in a few days you will be baptized with the Holy Spirit." When they had gathered together they asked him, "Lord, are you at this time going to restore the kingdom to Israel?" He answered them, "It is not for you to know the times or seasons that the Father has established by his own authority. But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes upon you, and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, throughout Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth." When he had said this, as they were looking on, he was lifted up, and a cloud took him from their sight. While they were looking intently at the sky as he was going, suddenly two men dressed in white garments stood beside them. They said, "Men of Galilee, why are you standing there looking at the sky? This Jesus who has been taken up from you into heaven will return in the same way as you have seen him going into heaven."
Second reading (Ephesians 1: 17–23)
A reading from the letter of Saint Paul to the Ephesians.Brothers and sisters: May the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, give you a Spirit of wisdom and revelation resulting in knowledge of him. May the eyes of your hearts be enlightened, that you may know what is the hope that belongs to his call, what are the riches of glory in his inheritance among the holy ones, and what is the surpassing greatness of his power for us who believe, in accord with the exercise of his great might, which he worked in Christ, raising him from the dead and seating him at his right hand in the heavens, far above every principality, authority, power, and dominion, and every name that is named not only in this age but also in the one to come. And he put all things beneath his feet and gave him as head over all things to the church, which is his body, the fullness of the one who fills all things in every way.
Gospel (Matthew 28: 16–20)
A reading from the holy Gospel according to Matthew.
The eleven disciples went to Galilee, to the mountain to which Jesus had ordered them. When they saw him, they worshiped, but they doubted. Then Jesus approached and said to them, “All power in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Go, therefore, and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, until the end of the age.”

Catholic Pastoral Edition Bible readings
First reading (Acts 1: 1–11)
A reading from the Acts of the Apostles.
In the first part of my work, Theophilus, I wrote of all that Jesus did and taught from the beginning until the day when he ascended to heaven. But first he had instructed through the Holy Spirit the apostles he had chosen. After his passion, he presented himself to them, giving many signs that he was alive; over a period of forty days he appeared to them and taught them concerning the kingdom of God. Once when he had been eating with them, he told them, "Do not leave Jerusalem but wait for the fulfillment of the Father's promise about which I have spoken to you: John baptized with water, but will be baptized with the Holy Spirit within a few days." When they had come together, they asked him, "Is it now that you will restore the Kingdom of Israel?" And he answered, "It is not for you to know the time and the steps which the Father has fixed by his own authority. But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes upon you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, throughout Judea and Samaria, even to the ends of the earth." After Jesus stated this, he was taken up before their eyes and a cloud hid him from their sight. While they were still looking up to heaven where he went, suddenly, two men dressed in white stood beside them and stated, "Men of Galilee, why do you stand here looking up at the sky? This Jesus who has been taken from you into heaven, will return in the same way as you have seen him go there."
Second reading (Ephesians 1: 17–23)
A reading from the letter of Saint Paul to the Ephesians.
May the God of Christ Jesus our Lord, the Father of Glory, reveal himself to you and give you a spirit of wisdom, that you may know him. May he enlighten your inner vision, that you may appreciate the things we hope for, since we were called by God. May you know how great is the inheritance, the glory, God sets apart for his saints; my you understand with what extraordinary power he acts in favor of us who believe. He revealed his almighty power in Christ when he raised him from the dead and had him sit at his right hand in heaven, far above all rule, power, authority, dominion, or any other supernatural force that could be named, not only in this world but in the world to come as well. Thus has God put all things under the feet of Christ and set him above all things, as head of the Church which is his body. He who fills all in all unfolds his fullness in the Church.
Gospel (Matthew 28: 16–20)
A reading from the holy Gospel according to Matthew.
As for the Eleven disciples, they went to Galilee, to the mountain where Jesus had told them to go. When they saw Jesus, they bowed before him, although some doubted. Then Jesus approached them and stated, "I have given all authority in heaven and on earth. Go, therefore, and make disciples from all nations. Baptize them in the Name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teach them to fulfill all that I have commanded you. I am with you always until the end of this world."

Reading (Acts 18: 1–8)
A reading from the Acts of the Apostles.
Paul left Athens and went to Corinth. There he met a Jew named Aquila, a native of Pontus, who had recently come from Italy with his wife Priscilla because Claudius had ordered all the Jews to leave Rome. He went to visit them and, because he practiced the same trade, stayed with them and worked, for they were tentmakers by trade. Every Sabbath, he entered into discussions in the synagogue, attempting to convince both Jews and Greeks. When Silas and Timothy came down from Macedonia, Paul began to occupy himself totally with preaching the word, testifying to the Jews that the Christ was Jesus. When they opposed him and reviled him, he shook out his garments and said to them, "Your blood be on your heads! I am clear of responsibility. From now on I will go to the Gentiles." So he left there and went to a house belonging to a man named Titus Justus, a worshiper of God; his house was next to a synagogue. Crispus, the synagogue official, came to believe in the Lord along with his entire household, and many of the Corinthians who heard believed and were baptized.
Gospel (John 16: 16–20)
A reading from the holy Gospel according to John.
Jesus said to his disciples: "A little while and you will no longer see me, and again a little while later and you will see me." So some of his disciples said to one another, "What does this mean that he is saying to us, 'A little while and you will not see me, and again a little while and you will see me,' and 'Because I am going to the Father'?" So they said, "What is this 'little while' of which he speaks? We do not know what he means." Jesus knew that they wanted to ask him, so he said to them, "Are you discussing with one another what I said, 'A little while and you will not see me, and again a little while and you will see me'? Amen, amen, I say to you, you will weep and mourn, while the world rejoices; you will grieve, but your grief will become joy."

Reading (Acts 18: 1–8)
A reading from the Acts of the Apostles.
After this, Paul left Athens and went to Corinth. There he found a Jew named Aquila, a native of Pontus, who had recently come from Italy with his wife Priscilla, following a decree of the Emperor Claudius which ordered all Jews to leave Rome. Paul went to visit them and then stayed and worked with them because they shared the same trade of tentmaking. Every Sabbath he held discussions in the synagogue, trying to convince both Jews and Greeks. When Silas and Timothy came down from Macedonia, Paula was able to give himself wholly to preaching and proving to the Jews that Jesus was the Messiah. One day when they opposed him and insulted him, he shook the dust from his clothes in protest, saying, "You yourselves will account for your deeds! I am not to blame if from now on I go to the non-Jews." So Paul left there and went to the house of a God-fearing man named Titus Justus who lived next door to the synagogue. A leading man of the synagogue, Crispus, along with his whole household, believed in the Lord. On hearing Paul, many more Corinthians believed and were baptized.
Gospel (John 16: 16–20)
A reading from the holy Gospel according to John.
Jesus said to his disciples: "A little while and you will see me no more; and then a little while, and you will see me." Some of the disciples wondered, "What does he mean by: 'A little while and you will not see me, and then a little while and you will see me'? And why did he say: 'I go to the Father'?" And they said to one another, "What does he mean by 'a little while'? We don't understand." Jesus knew that they wanted to question him; so he said to them, "You are puzzled because I told you that in a little while you will see me no more, and then a little while later you will see me. 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."

ReplyDeleteUna lectura de los Hechos de los Apóstoles.
En mi primer Libro, querido Teófilo, me referí a todo lo que hizo y enseñó Jesús, desde el comienzo, hasta el día en que subió al cielo, después de haber dado, por medio del Espíritu Santo, sus últimas instrucciones a los Apóstoles que había elegido. Después de su Pasión, Jesús se manifestó a ellos dándoles numerosas pruebas de que vivía, y durante cuarenta días se le apareció y les habló del Reino de Dios. En una ocasión, mientras estaba comiendo con ellos, les recomendó que no se alejaran de Jerusalén y esperaran la promesa del Padre: “La promesa, les dijo, que yo les he anunciado. Porque Juan bautizó con agua, pero ustedes serán bautizados en el Espíritu Santo, dentro de pocos días.” Los que estaban reunidos le preguntaron: “Señor, ¿es ahora cuando vas a restaurar el reino de Israel?” Él les respondió: “No les corresponde a ustedes conocer el tiempo y el momento que el Padre ha establecido con su propia autoridad. Pero recibirán la fuerza del Espíritu Santo que descenderá sobre ustedes, y serán mis testigos en Jerusalén, en toda Judea y Samaria, y hasta los confines de la tierra.” Dicho esto, los Apóstoles lo vieron elevarse, y una nube lo ocultó de la vista de ellos. Como permanecían con la mirada puesta en el cielo mientras Jesús subía, se les aparecieron dos hombres vestidos de blanco, que les dijeron: “Hombres de Galilea, ¿por qué siguen mirando al cielo? Este Jesús que les ha sido quitado y fue elevado al cielo, vendrá de la misma manera que lo han visto partir.”
Salmo responsorial (Salmo 47) (Versículos 2–3 y 6–9)
La respuesta es: Dios asciende a su trono por los gritos de alegría; el sonido de trompetas para el Señor.
• Aplaudan, todos los pueblos, aclamen a Dios con gritos de alegría; porque el Señor, el Altísimo, es temible, es el soberano de toda la tierra.
• Dios asciende entre aclamaciones, asciende al sonido de trompetas. Canten, canten a nuestro Dios, canten, canten a nuestro Rey.
• Dios es el Rey de toda la tierra, cántenle un hermoso himno. Dios reina sobre las naciones, Dios se sienta en su trono sagrado.

Que el Dios de nuestro Señor Jesucristo, el Padre de la gloria, les conceda un espíritu de sabiduría y de revelación que les permita conocerlo verdaderamente. Que él ilumine sus corazones, para que ustedes puedan valorar la esperanza a la que han sido llamados, los tesoros de gloria que encierra su herencia entre los santos, y la extraordinaria grandeza del poder con que él obra en nosotros, los creyentes, por la eficacia de su fuerza. Este es el mismo poder que Dios manifestó en Cristo, cuando lo resucitó de entre los muertos y lo hizo sentar a su derecha en el cielo, elevándolo por encima de todo Principado, Potestad, Poder y Dominación, y de cualquier otra dignidad que pueda mencionarse tanto en este mundo como en el futuro. Él puso todas las cosas bajo sus pies y lo constituyó, por encima de todo, Cabeza de la Iglesia, que es su Cuerpo y la Plenitud de aquel que llena completamente todas las cosas.

Por su parte, los Once discípulos partieron para Galilea, al monte que Jesús les había indicado. Cuando vieron a Jesús, se postraron ante él, aunque algunos todavía dudaban. Jesús se acercó y les habló así: “Me ha sido dada toda autoridad en el Cielo y en la tierra. Vayan, pues, y hagan que todos los pueblos sean mis discípulos. Bautícenlos en el Nombre del Padre y del Hijo y del Espíritu Santo, y enséñenles a cumplir todo lo que yo les he encomendado a ustedes. Yo estoy con ustedes todos los días hasta el fin de la historia.”

ReplyDeletePembacaan dari Kisah paa Rasul.
Hai Teofilus, dalam bukuku yang pertama aku menulis tentang segala sesuatu yang dikerjakan dan diajarkan Yesus, sampai pada hari Ia terangkat. Sebelum itu Ia telah memberi perintah-Nya oleh Roh Kudus kepada rasul-rasul yang dipilih-Nya. Kepada mereka Ia menunjukkan diri-Nya setelah penderitaan-Nya selesai, dan dengan banyak tanda Ia membuktikan, bahwa Ia hidup. Sebab selama empat puluh hari Ia berulang-ulang menampakkan diri dan berbicara kepada mereka tentang Kerajaan Allah. Pada suatu hari ketika Ia makan bersama-sama dengan mereka, Ia melarang mereka meninggalkan Yerusalem, dan menyuruh mereka tinggal di situ menantikan janji Bapa, yang—demikian kata-Nya—"telah kamu dengar dari pada-Ku. Sebab Yohanes membaptis dengan air, tetapi tidak lama lagi kamu akan dibaptis dengan Roh Kudus." Maka bertanyalah mereka yang berkumpul di situ: "Tuhan, maukah Engkau pada masa ini memulihkan kerajaan bagi Israel?" Jawab-Nya: "Engkau tidak perlu mengetahui masa dan waktu, yang ditetapkan Bapa sendiri menurut kuasa-Nya. Tetapi kamu akan menerima kuasa, kalau Roh Kudus turun ke atas kamu, dan kamu akan menjadi saksi-Ku di Yerusalem dan di seluruh Yudea dan Samaria dan sampai ke ujung bumi." Sesudah Ia mengatakan demikian, terangkatlah Ia disaksikan oleh mereka, dan awan menutup-Nya dari pandangan mereka. Ketika mereka sedang menatap ke langit waktu Ia naik itu, tiba-tiba berdirilah dua orang yang berpakaian putih dekat mereka, dan berkata kepada mereka: "Hai orang-orang Galilea, mengapakah kamu berdiri melihat ke langit? Yesus ini, yang terangkat ke sorga meninggalkan kamu, akan datang kembali dengan cara yang sama seperti kamu melihat Dia naik ke sorga."
Mazmur (Mazmur 47) (Ayat 2–3 dan 6–9)

— Hai segala bangsa, bertepuktanganlah, elu-elukanlah Allah dengan sorak-sorai! Sebab TUHAN, Yang Mahatinggi, adalah dahsyat, Raja yang besar atas seluruh bumi.
— Allah telah naik dengan diiringi sorak-sorai, ya TUHAN itu, dengan diiringi bunyi sangkakala. Bermazmurlah bagi Allah, bermazmurlah, bermazmurlah bagi Raja kita, bermazmurlah!
— Sebab Allah adalah Raja seluruh bumi, bermazmurlah dengan nyanyian pengajaran! Allah memerintah sebagai raja atas bangsa-bangsa, Allah bersemayam di atas takhta-Nya yang kudus.

ReplyDeleteAng pagbabasa sa mga gawa ng mga Apostol.
Mahal kong Teofilo, sa aking unang aklat ay isinalaysay ko ang lahat ng ginawa at itinuro ni Jesus buhat sa pasimula hanggang sa araw na siya'y umakyat sa langit. Bago siya umakyat, sa pamamagitan ng kapangyarihan ng Espiritu Santo ay nag-iwan siya ng mga bilin sa kanyang mga apostol na kanyang hinirang. Sa loob ng apatnapung araw pagkatapos ng kanyang pagkamatay, nagpakita siya sa kanila at sa pamamagitan ng maraming katibayan ay pinatunayan niyang siya'y buháy. Nagturo siya sa kanila tungkol sa paghahari ng Diyos. Samantalang siya'y kasama pa nila, pinagbilinan sila ni Jesus, “Huwag muna kayong aalis sa Jerusalem. Sa halip, hintayin ninyo roon ang ipinangako ng Ama na sinabi ko na sa inyo. Si Juan ay nagbautismo sa tubig, ngunit di magtatagal at babautismuhan kayo sa Espiritu Santo.” Nang magkatipon si Jesus at ang mga alagad, nagtanong sila kay Jesus, “Panginoon, itatatag na po ba ninyong muli ang kaharian ng Israel?” Sumagot si Jesus, “Ang mga panahon at pagkakataon ay itinakda ng Ama sa kanyang sariling kapangyarihan, at hindi na kailangan pang malaman ninyo kung kailan iyon. Subalit tatanggap kayo ng kapangyarihan pagbaba sa inyo ng Espiritu Santo, at kayo'y magiging mga saksi ko sa Jerusalem, sa buong Judea at sa Samaria, at hanggang sa dulo ng daigdig.” Pagkasabi nito, si Jesus ay iniakyat sa langit habang ang mga alagad ay nakatingin sa kanya, at natakpan siya ng ulap. Habang sila'y nakatitig sa langit at siya'y iniaakyat, may dalawang lalaking nakaputi na lumitaw sa tabi nila. Sabi nila, “Kayong mga taga-Galilea, bakit kayo nakatayo rito at nakatingin sa langit? Itong si Jesus na umakyat sa langit ay magbabalik gaya ng nakita ninyong pag-akyat niya.”
Pangalawang pagbabasa (Efeso 1: 17–23)
Ang pagbabasa sa sulat ni San Pablo sa mga taga-Efeso.
Idinadalangin ko sa Diyos ng ating Panginoong Jesu-Cristo, ang maluwalhating Ama, na pagkalooban niya kayo ng espiritu ng karunungan at pagpapahayag tungkol sa Diyos upang lubos ninyo siyang makilala. Nawa'y liwanagan ng Diyos ang inyong mga puso upang malaman ninyo ang pag-asa na para doon ay tinawag niya kayo, kung gaano kasagana ang pagpapalang inilaan niya para sa kanyang mga banal, at kung ano ang di-masukat niyang kapangyarihan na kumikilos sa atin na mga nananalig sa kanya. Ang dakilang kapangyarihan ding iyon ang muling bumuhay kay Cristo at nag-upo sa kanya sa kanan ng Diyos sa kalangitan. Mula roon ay namumuno si Cristo sa lahat ng paghahari, kapamahalaan, kapangyarihan, at pamunuan sa kalangitan. Higit na dakila ang kanyang pangalan kaysa sa lahat, hindi lamang sa panahong ito kundi maging sa darating. Ipinailalim ng Diyos sa paa ni Cristo ang lahat ng bagay, at ginawa siyang ulo ng lahat ng bagay para sa iglesya, na siyang katawan ni Cristo, ang kapuspusan niya na pumupuno sa lahat ng bagay.

Bautismuhan ninyo sila sa pangalan ng Ama, at ng Anak, at ng Espiritu Santo. Turuan ninyo silang sumunod sa lahat ng iniutos ko sa inyo.

ReplyDeleteUna lectura de los hechos de los apóstoles.
Después de esto, Pablo dejó Atenas y fue a Corinto. Allí encontró a un judío llamado Aquila, originario del Ponto, que acababa de llegar de Italia con su mujer Priscila, a raíz de un edicto de Claudio que obligaba a todos los judíos a salir de Roma. Pablo fue a verlos, y como ejercía el mismo oficio, se alojó en su casa y trabajaba con ellos haciendo tiendas de campaña. Los sábados, Pablo discutía en la sinagoga y trataba de persuadir tanto a los judíos como a los paganos. Silas y Timoteo llegaron a Macedonia, Pablo se dedicó por entero a la predicación de la Palabra, dando testimonio a los judíos de que Jesús es el Mesías. Pero como ellos lo contradecían y lo injuriaban, sacudió su manto en señal de protesta, diciendo: “Que la sangre de ustedes caiga sobre sus cabezas. Yo soy inocente de eso; en adelante me dedicaré a los paganos.” Entonces, alejándose de allí, fue a lo de un tal Tito Justo, uno de los que adoraban a Dios y cuya casa lindaba con la sinagoga. Crispo, el jefe de la sinagoga, creyó en el Señor, junto con toda su familia. También muchos habitantes de Corinto, que habían escuchado a Pablo, abrazaron la fe y se hicieron bautizar.
Evangelio (Juan 16: 16–20)
Una lectura del Evangelio Santo según el San Juan.
Jesús les dijo a sus discípulos: "Dentro de poco, ya no me verán, y poco después, me volverán a ver." Entonces algunos de sus discípulos comentaban entre sí: "¿Qué significa esto que nos dice: 'Dentro de poco ya no me verán, y poco después, me volverán a ver?'" Decían: "¿Qué es este poco de tiempo? No entendemos lo que quiere decir." Jesús se dio cuenta de que deseaban interrogarlo y les dijo: "Ustedes se preguntan entre sí qué significan mis palabras: 'Dentro de poco, ya no me verán, y poco después, me volverán a ver'. Les aseguro que ustedes van a llorar y se van a lamentar; el mundo, en cambio, se alegrará. Ustedes estarán tristes, pero esa tristeza se convertirá en gozo."

Kemudian Paulus meninggalkan Atena, lalu pergi ke Korintus. Di Korintus ia berjumpa dengan seorang Yahudi bernama Akwila, yang berasal dari Pontus. Ia baru datang dari Italia dengan Priskila, isterinya, karena kaisar Klaudius telah memerintahkan, supaya semua orang Yahudi meninggalkan Roma. Paulus singgah ke rumah mereka. Dan karena mereka melakukan pekerjaan yang sama, ia tinggal bersama-sama dengan mereka. Mereka bekerja bersama-sama, karena mereka sama-sama tukang kemah. Dan setiap hari Sabat Paulus berbicara dalam rumah ibadat dan berusaha meyakinkan orang-orang Yahudi dan orang-orang Yunani. Ketika Silas dan Timotius datang dari Makedonia, Paulus dengan sepenuhnya dapat memberitakan firman, di mana ia memberi kesaksian kepada orang-orang Yahudi, bahwa Yesus adalah Mesias. Tetapi ketika orang-orang itu memusuhi dia dan menghujat, ia mengebaskan debu dari pakaiannya dan berkata kepada mereka: "Biarlah darahmu tertumpah ke atas kepalamu sendiri; aku bersih, tidak bersalah. Mulai dari sekarang aku akan pergi kepada bangsa-bangsa lain." Maka keluarlah ia dari situ, lalu datang ke rumah seorang bernama Titius Yustus, yang beribadah kepada Allah, dan yang rumahnya berdampingan dengan rumah ibadat. Tetapi Krispus, kepala rumah ibadat itu, menjadi percaya kepada Tuhan bersama-sama dengan seisi rumahnya, dan banyak dari orang-orang Korintus, yang mendengarkan pemberitaan Paulus, menjadi percaya dan memberi diri mereka dibaptis.

"Tinggal sesaat saja dan kamu tidak melihat Aku lagi dan tinggal sesaat saja pula dan kamu akan melihat Aku." Mendengar itu beberapa dari murid-Nya berkata seorang kepada yang lain: "Apakah artinya Ia berkata kepada kita: Tinggal sesaat saja dan kamu tidak melihat Aku dan tinggal sesaat saja pula dan kamu akan melihat Aku? Dan: Aku pergi kepada Bapa?" Maka kata mereka: "Apakah artinya Ia berkata: Tinggal sesaat saja? Kita tidak tahu apa maksud-Nya." Yesus tahu, bahwa mereka hendak menanyakan sesuatu kepada-Nya, lalu Ia berkata kepada mereka: "Adakah kamu membicarakan seorang dengan yang lain apa yang Kukatakan tadi, yaitu: Tinggal sesaat saja dan kamu tidak melihat Aku dan tinggal sesaat saja pula dan kamu akan melihat Aku? Aku berkata kepadamu: Sesungguhnya kamu akan menangis dan meratap, tetapi dunia akan bergembira; kamu akan berdukacita, tetapi dukacitamu akan berubah menjadi sukacita.

ReplyDeleteAng pagbabasa sa mga gawa ng mga apostol.
Pagkatapos, umalis si Pablo sa Atenas at nagpunta sa Corinto. Nakilala niya roon si Aquila, isang Judiong taga-Ponto. Kararating pa lamang nito mula sa Italia kasama ang kanyang asawang si Priscila. Umalis sila roon sapagkat pinalayas ni Emperador Claudio ang lahat ng Judio sa Roma. Nakipagkita sa kanila si Pablo, at dahil sila'y manggagawa ng tolda tulad niya, siya ay nakitira sa kanila, at siya'y nagtrabahong kasama nila. Tuwing Araw ng Pamamahinga, si Pablo ay nakikipagpaliwanagan sa mga sinagoga, at sinisikap niyang mahikayat sa pananampalataya ang lahat, maging Judio o Griego. Nang dumating sina Silas at Timoteo mula sa Macedonia, iniukol na ni Pablo ang buo niyang panahon sa pangangaral at pagpapatunay sa mga Judio na si Jesus ang Cristo. Nang siya'y salungatin at laitin ng mga ito, ipinagpag niya ang alikabok sa kanyang damit bilang babala sa kanila. Sinabi niya, “Kasalanan na ninyo kung kayo'y mapahamak! Hindi ko na sagutin iyon! Mula ngayo'y sa mga Hentil na ako mangangaral.” Kaya't umalis siya roon at tumira sa bahay ni Ticio Justo, isang Hentil na may takot sa Diyos. Katabi ng sinagoga ang bahay nito. Si Crispo, na tagapamahala ng sinagoga, at ang kanyang sambahayan ay nanalig sa Panginoon. Marami pang mga taga-Corinto na nakinig kay Pablo ang sumampalataya at nagpabautismo.
Ebanghelyo (Juan 16: 16–20)
Ang magandang balita ayon kay San Juan.
“Kaunting panahon na lamang at hindi na ninyo ako makikita, at pagkaraan ng kaunti pang panahon, ako'y inyong makikitang muli.” Nag-usap-usap ang ilan sa kanyang mga alagad, “Ano kaya ang ibig niyang sabihin na kaunting panahon na lamang at hindi na natin siya makikita, at pagkaraan ng kaunti pang panahon ay makikita natin siyang muli? Sinabi pa niya, ‘Sapagkat ako'y pupunta sa Ama.’ Ano kaya ang kahulugan ng, ‘kaunting panahon na lamang’? Hindi natin maunawaan ang kanyang sinasabi!” Alam ni Jesus na ibig nilang magtanong, kaya't sinabi niya, “Nagtatanungan kayo tungkol sa sinabi kong ‘kaunting panahon na lamang at hindi na ninyo ako makikita, at pagkaraan ng kaunti pang panahon, ako'y makikita ninyong muli.’ Pakatandaan ninyo: iiyak kayo at tatangis, ngunit magagalak ang sanlibutan. Labis kayong malulungkot, subalit ang inyong kalungkutan ay mapapalitan ng kagalakan."
