Reading 1 - 1 John 3.22–4.6
Beloved, whatever we ask, we receive from him,
because we keep his commandments
and do the things that are pleasing in his sight.
This is his commandment:
that we should believe in the name of his Son, Jesus Christ,
and love one another, even as he commanded.
They who keep his commandments remains in him, and he in them.
By this we know that he remains in us:
by the Spirit which he gave us.
Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits, whether they are of God,
because many false prophets have gone out into the world.
By this you know the Spirit of God:
every spirit who confesses that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is of God,
and every spirit who does not confess that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is not of God,
and this is the spirit of the Antichrist, of whom you have heard that it comes.
Now it is in the world already.
You are of God, little children, and have overcome them,
because he who is in you is greater than he who is in the world.
They are of the world.
Therefore they speak of the world, and the world hears them.
We are of God.
He who knows God listens to us.
He who is not of God does not listen to us.
By this we know the spirit of truth, and the spirit of error.
Responsorial – Psalm 2.7bc-8, 10-12a Resp. 8ab
R. I will give you the nations for your inheritance.
The Lord said to me, “You are my Son.
Today I have begotten you.
Ask of me, and I will give you
the nations for your inheritance,
the uttermost ends of the earth for your possession.
R. I will give you the nations for your inheritance.
Now therefore be wise, you kings.
Be instructed, you judges of the earth.
Serve the Lord with fear, and rejoice before him;
rejoice with trembling.
R. I will give you the nations for your inheritance.
Gospel – Matthew 4.12-17, 23-25
Now when Jesus heard that John had been arrested, he withdrew into Galilee.
Leaving Nazareth, he came and lived in Capernaum, which is by the sea,
in the region of Zebulun and Naphtali,
that it might be fulfilled which was spoken through Isaiah the prophet, saying:
“The land of Zebulun and the land of Naphtali,
toward the sea, beyond the Jordan,
Galilee of the Gentiles,
the people who sat in darkness saw a great light,
to those who sat in the region and shadow of death,
to them light has dawned.”
From that time, Jesus began to preach, and to say, “Repent! For the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand.”
Jesus went about in all Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, preaching the Gospel of the Kingdom,
and healing every disease and every sickness among the people.
The rumors about him went out into all Syria.
They brought to him all who were sick:
afflicted with various diseases and torments, possessed with demons, epileptics, and paralytics,
and he healed them.
Great multitudes from Galilee, Decapolis, Jerusalem, Judea, and from beyond the Jordan followed him.

Reading 1 - Acts 13.26-33
When Paul came to Antioch in Pisidia,
he said in the synagogue:
“Brothers,
children of the stock of Abraham,
and those among you who are God-fearers,
the word of this salvation is sent out to you.
For those who dwell in Jerusalem,
and their rulers,
because they did not recognize him,
fulfilled the voices of the prophets
which are read every Sabbath
by condemning him.
Though they found no cause for death,
they still asked Pilate to have him killed.
When they had fulfilled all things
that were written about him,
they took him down from the tree
and laid him in a tomb.
But God raised him from the dead,
and he was seen for many days
by those who came up with him
from Galilee to Jerusalem,
who are his witnesses to the people.
We bring you good news
of the promise made to our fathers,
that God has fulfilled it for us, their children,
in that he raised up Jesus.
As it is also written in the second psalm,
‘You are my Son.
Today I have begotten you.’”
Responsorial – Psalm 2.6-7, 8-9, 10-11ab Resp. 7bc
R. You are my Son; today I have begotten you. or R. Alleluia!
“I have set my King
on my holy mountain of Zion.”
I will tell of the decree of the Lord.
The Lord said to me, “You are my Son.
Today I have begotten you.
R. You are my Son; today I have begotten you. or R. Alleluia!
Ask of me, and I will give you
the nations for your inheritance,
the uttermost ends of the earth for your possession.
You shall break them with a rod of iron.
You shall dash them in pieces like a potter’s vessel.”
R. You are my Son; today I have begotten you. or R. Alleluia!
Now therefore be wise, you kings.
Be instructed, you judges of the earth.
Serve the Lord with fear, and rejoice before him;
rejoice with trembling.
R. You are my Son; today I have begotten you. or R. Alleluia!
Gospel – John 14.1-6
Jesus said to his disciples:
“Let not your hearts be troubled.
You believe in God.
Believe also in me.
In my Father’s house,
there are many homes.
If it were not so,
I would have told you.
I am going to prepare a place for you.
If I go and prepare a place for you,
I will come again,
and will receive you to myself;
that where I am,
you may be there also.
Where I am going you know the way.”
Thomas said to him,
“Lord, we do not know where you are going.
How can we know the way?”
Jesus said to Thomas,
“I am the way, the truth, and the life.
No one comes to the Father
except through me.”

Jesus said to his disciples:
“Let not your hearts be troubled.
You believe in God.
Believe also in me.
In my Father’s house,
there are many homes.
If it were not so,
I would have told you.
I am going to prepare a place for you.
If I go and prepare a place for you,
I will come again,
and will receive you to myself;
that where I am,
you may be there also.
Where I am going you know the way.”
Thomas said to him,
“Lord, we do not know where you are going.
How can we know the way?”
Jesus said to Thomas,
“I am the way, the truth, and the life.
No one comes to the Father
except through me.”

Reading 1 – Acts 4.23-31
Having been released,
Peter and John came to their own,
and reported all that the chief priests
and the elders had said to them.
When they heard it,
Together they lifted up
their voice to God and said,
“O Sovereign Lord,
who made the heaven, the earth,
the sea, and all that is in them;
who through the Holy Spirit
by the mouth of our father
David, your servant, said,
“Why do the nations rage,
and the peoples plot a vain thing?
The kings of the earth take a stand,
and the rulers take council together,
against the Lord, and against his Christ.’
For truly, in this city
against your holy servant, Jesus,
whom you anointed,
both Herod and Pontius Pilate,
with the Gentiles and the people of Israel,
were gathered together
to do whatever your hand and your will
predestined to happen.
Now, Lord, look at their threats,
and grant to your servants
to speak your word with all boldness,
while you stretch out your hand to heal,
and that signs and wonders
may be done through the name
of your holy servant Jesus.”
When they had prayed,
the place shook
where they were gathered together.
They were all filled with the Holy Spirit,
and they spoke the word of God with boldness.

He who sits in the heavens will laugh.
The Lord will hold them in derision.
Then he will speak to them in his anger,

“I have set my King
on my holy mountain of Zion.”
I will tell of the decree of the Lord.

Gospel – John 3.1-8
There was a human from the Pharisees
named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews.
He came to Jesus by night, and said to him,
“Rabbi, we know that you are a teacher
who has come from God,
for no one can do these signs that you do,
unless God is with him.”
Jesus answered him,
“Amen, amen, I tell you,
unless one is born from above,
he cannot see the Kingdom of God.”
Nicodemus said to him,
“How can a human be born when they are old?
Can they enter a second time
into their mother’s womb and be born?”
Jesus answered,
“Amen, amen, I tell you,
unless one is born of water and spirit,
they cannot enter into the Kingdom of God!
That which is born of the flesh is flesh.
That which is born of the Spirit is spirit.
Do not marvel that I said to you,
‘You must be born from above.’
The wind blows where it will,
and you hear its sound,
but do not know where it comes from
or where it is going.
So is everyone who is born of the Spirit.”
