Douay-Rheims: Acts 19:1-8

¹And it came to pass, while Apollo was at Corinth, that Paul having passed through the upper coasts, came to Ephesus, and found certain disciples. ²And he said to them: Have you received the Holy Ghost since ye believed? But they said to him: We have not so much as heard whether there be a Holy Ghost. ³And he said: In what then were you baptized? Who said: In John’s baptism. ⁴Then Paul said: John baptized the people with the baptism of penance, saying: That they should believe in him who was to come after him, that is to say, in Jesus. ⁵Having heard these things, they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus. ⁶And when Paul had imposed his hands on them, the Holy Ghost came upon them, and they spoke with tongues and prophesied. ⁷And all the men were about twelve. ⁸And entering into the synagogue, he spoke boldly for the space of three months, disputing and exhorting concerning the kingdom of God.

Douay-Rheims: Psalm 67:2-7 (Psalm 68 at Mass)

²Let God arise, and let his enemies be scattered: and let them that hate him flee from before his face. ³As smoke vanisheth, so let them vanish away: as wax melteth before the fire, so let the wicked perish at the presence of God. ⁴And let the just feast, and rejoice before God: and be delighted with gladness. ⁵Sing ye to God, sing a psalm to his name, make a way for him who ascendeth upon the west: the Lord is his name. Rejoice ye before him: but the wicked shall be troubled at his presence, ⁶Who is the father of orphans, and the judge of widows. God in his holy place: ⁷God who maketh men of one manner to dwell in a house: Who bringeth out them that were bound in strength; in like manner them that provoke, that dwell in sepulchres.

Douay-Rheims: John 16:29-33

²⁹His disciples say to him: Behold, now thou speakest plainly, and speakest no proverb. ³⁰Now we know that thou knowest all things, and thou needest not that any man should ask thee. By this we believe that thou camest forth from God. ³¹Jesus answered them: Do you now believe? ³²Behold, the hour cometh, and it is now come, that you shall be scattered every man to his own, and shall leave me alone; and yet I am not alone, because the Father is with me. ³³These things I have spoken to you, that in me you may have peace. In the world you shall have distress: but have confidence, I have overcome the world.
