Douay-Rheims: Acts 18:1-8

¹After these things, departing from Athens, he came to Corinth. ²And finding a certain Jew, named Aquila, born in Pontus, lately come from Italy, with Priscilla his wife, (because that Claudius had commanded all Jews to depart from Rome,) he came to them. ³And because he was of the same trade, he remained with them, and wrought; (now they were tentmakers by trade.) ⁴And he reasoned in the synagogue every sabbath, bringing in the name of the Lord Jesus; and he persuaded the Jews and the Greeks. ⁵And when Silas and Timothy were come from Macedonia, Paul was earnest in preaching, testifying to the Jews, that Jesus is the Christ. ⁶But they gainsaying and blaspheming, he shook his garments, and said to them: Your blood be upon your own heads; I am clean: from henceforth I will go unto the Gentiles. ⁷And departing thence, he entered into the house of a certain man, named Titus Justus, one that worshipped God, whose house was adjoining to the synagogue. ⁸And Crispus, the ruler of the synagogue, believed in the Lord, with all his house; and many of the Corinthians hearing, believed, and were baptized.

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 16:16-20

¹⁶A little while, and now you shall not see me; and again a little while, and you shall see me: because I go to the Father. ¹⁷Then some of the disciples said one to another: What is this that he saith to us: A little while, and you shall not see me; and again a little while, and you shall see me, and, because I go to the Father? ¹⁸They said therefore: What is this that he saith, A little while? we know not what he speaketh. ¹⁹And Jesus knew that they had a mind to ask him; and he said to them: Of this do you inquire among yourselves, because I said: A little while, and you shall not see me; and again a little while, and you shall see me? ²⁰Amen, amen I say to you, that you shall lament and weep, but the world shall rejoice; and you shall be made sorrowful, but your sorrow shall be turned into joy.
