Douay-Rheims: Acts 13:26-33

²⁶Men, brethren, children of the stock of Abraham, and whosoever among you fear God, to you the word of this salvation is sent. ²⁷For they that inhabited Jerusalem, and the rulers thereof, not knowing him, nor the voices of the prophets, which are read every sabbath, judging him have fulfilled them. ²⁸And finding no cause of death in him, they desired of Pilate, that they might kill him. ²⁹And when they had fulfilled all things that were written of him, taking him down from the tree, they laid him in a sepulchre. ³⁰But God raised him up from the dead the third day: ³¹Who was seen for many days, by them who came up with him from Galilee to Jerusalem, who to this present are his witnesses to the people. ³²And we declare unto you, that the promise which was made to our fathers, ³³This same God hath fulfilled to our children, raising up Jesus, as in the second psalm also is written: Thou art my Son, this day have I begotten thee.

Douay-Rheims: Psalm 2:6-11

⁶But I am appointed king by him over Sion his holy mountain, preaching his commandment. ⁷The Lord hath said to me: Thou art my son, this day have I begotten thee. ⁸Ask of me, and I will give thee the Gentiles for thy inheritance, and the utmost parts of the earth for thy possession. ⁹Thou shalt rule them with a rod of iron, and shalt break them in pieces like a potter’s vessel. ¹⁰And now, O ye kings, understand: receive instruction, you that judge the earth. ¹¹Serve ye the Lord with fear: and rejoice unto him with trembling.

Douay-Rheims: John 14:1-6

¹Let not your heart be troubled. You believe in God, believe also in me. ²In my Father’s house there are many mansions. If not, I would have told you: because I go to prepare a place for you. ³And if I shall go, and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and will take you to myself; that where I am, you also may be. ⁴And whither I go you know, and the way you know. ⁵Thomas saith to him: Lord, we know not whither thou goest; and how can we know the way? ⁶Jesus saith to him: I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No man cometh to the Father, but by me.
