Douay-Rheims: Acts 13:44-52

⁴⁴But the next sabbath day, the whole city almost came together, to hear the word of God. ⁴⁵And the Jews seeing the multitudes, were filled with envy, and contradicted those things which were said by Paul, blaspheming. ⁴⁶Then Paul and Barnabas said boldly: To you it behoved us first to speak the word of God: but because you reject it, and judge yourselves unworthy of eternal life, behold we turn to the Gentiles. ⁴⁷For so the Lord hath commanded us: I have set thee to be the light of the Gentiles; that thou mayest be for salvation unto the utmost part of the earth. ⁴⁸And the Gentiles hearing it, were glad, and glorified the word of the Lord: and as many as were ordained to life everlasting, believed. ⁴⁹And the word of the Lord was published throughout the whole country. ⁵⁰But the Jews stirred up religious and honourable women, and the chief men of the city, and raised persecution against Paul and Barnabas: and cast them out of their coasts. ⁵¹But they, shaking off the dust of their feet against them, came to Iconium. ⁵²And the disciples were filled with joy and with the Holy Ghost.

Douay-Rheims: Psalm 97:1-4 (Psalm 98 at Mass)

¹Sing ye to the Lord a new canticle: because he hath done wonderful things. His right hand hath wrought for him salvation, and his arm is holy. ²The Lord hath made known his salvation: he hath revealed his justice in the sight of the Gentiles. ³He hath remembered his mercy and his truth toward the house of Israel. All the ends of the earth have seen the salvation of our God. ⁴Sing joyfully to God, all the earth; make melody, rejoice and sing.

Douay-Rheims: John 14:7-14

⁷If you had known me, you would without doubt have known my Father also: and from henceforth you shall know him, and you have seen him. ⁸Philip saith to him: Lord, shew us the Father, and it is enough for us. ⁹Jesus saith to him: Have I been so long a time with you; and have you not known me? Philip, he that seeth me seeth the Father also. How sayest thou, Shew us the Father? ¹⁰Do you not believe, that I am in the Father, and the Father in me? The words that I speak to you, I speak not of myself. But the Father who abideth in me, he doth the works. ¹¹Believe you not that I am in the Father, and the Father in me? ¹²Otherwise believe for the very works’ sake. Amen, amen I say to you, he that believeth in me, the works that I do, he also shall do; and greater than these shall he do. ¹³Because I go to the Father: and whatsoever you shall ask the Father in my name, that will I do: that the Father may be glorified in the Son. ¹⁴If you shall ask me any thing in my name, that I will do.
