First reading: 1 Corinthians 15:1-8
Douay-Rheims: 1 Corinthians 15:1-8
1Now I make known unto you, brethren, the gospel which I preached to you, which also you have received, and wherein you stand; 2By which also you are saved, if you hold fast after what manner I preached unto you, unless you have believed in vain. 3For I delivered unto you first of all, which I also received: how that Christ died for our sins, according to the scriptures: 4And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day, according to the scriptures: 5And that he was seen by Cephas; and after that by the eleven. 6Then he was seen by more than five hundred brethren at once: of whom many remain until this present, and some are fallen asleep. 7After that, he was seen by James, then by all the apostles. 8And last of all, he was seen also by me, as by one born out of due time.
Responsorial Psalm: Psalm 19:2-3, 4-5
Douay-Rheims: Psalm 18:2-5 (Psalm 19 at Mass)
2The heavens shew forth the glory of God, and the firmament declareth the work of his hands. 3Day to day uttereth speech, and night to night sheweth knowledge. 4There are no speeches nor languages, where their voices are not heard. 5Their sound hath gone forth into all the earth: and their words unto the ends of the world.
Gospel: John 14:6-14
Douay-Rheims: John 14:6-14
6Jesus saith to him: I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No man cometh to the Father, but by me. 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.
The same passages in the Douay-Rheims Bible (Challoner revision), the translation we use on this site. The words read at Mass come from the Lectionary for Mass and differ. Where a reading begins or ends partway through a verse, the whole verse is shown. For the official text, open the readings on the USCCB site.
