Douay-Rheims: Acts 4:13-21

¹³Now seeing the constancy of Peter and of John, understanding that they were illiterate and ignorant men, they wondered; and they knew them that they had been with Jesus. ¹⁴Seeing the man also who had been healed standing with them, they could say nothing against it. ¹⁵But they commanded them to go aside out of the council; and they conferred among themselves, ¹⁶Saying: What shall we do to these men? for indeed a known miracle hath been done by them, to all the inhabitants of Jerusalem: it is manifest, and we cannot deny it. ¹⁷But that it may be no farther spread among the people, let us threaten them that they speak no more in this name to any man. ¹⁸And calling them, they charged them not to speak at all, nor teach in the name of Jesus. ¹⁹But Peter and John answering, said to them: If it be just in the sight of God, to hear you rather than God, judge ye. ²⁰For we cannot but speak the things which we have seen and heard. ²¹But they threatening, sent them away, not finding how they might punish them, because of the people; for all men glorified what had been done, in that which had come to pass.

Douay-Rheims: Psalm 117:1, 14-21 (Psalm 118 at Mass)

¹Give praise to the Lord, for he is good: for his mercy endureth for ever.

¹⁴The Lord is my strength and my praise: and he is become my salvation. ¹⁵The voice of rejoicing and of salvation is in the tabernacles of the just. ¹⁶The right hand of the Lord hath wrought strength: the right hand of the Lord hath exulted me: the right hand of the Lord hath wrought strength. ¹⁷I shall not die, but live: and shall declare the works of the Lord. ¹⁸The Lord chastising hath chastised me: but he hath not delivered me over to death. ¹⁹Open ye to me the gates of justice: I will go into them, and give praise to the Lord. ²⁰This is the gate of the Lord, the just shall enter into it. ²¹I will give glory to thee because thou hast heard me: and art become my salvation.

Douay-Rheims: Mark 16:9-15

⁹But he rising early the first day of the week, appeared first to Mary Magdalen, out of whom he had cast seven devils. ¹⁰She went and told them that had been with him, who were mourning and weeping. ¹¹And they hearing that he was alive, and had been seen by her, did not believe. ¹²And after that he appeared in another shape to two of them walking, as they were going into the country. ¹³And they going told it to the rest: neither did they believe them. ¹⁴At length he appeared to the eleven as they were at table: and he upbraided them with their incredulity and hardness of heart, because they did not believe them who had seen him after he was risen again. ¹⁵And he said to them: Go ye into the whole world, and preach the gospel to every creature.
