Wednesday of the Third Week of Easter
Reading 1
There
broke out a severe persecution of the Church in Jerusalem,
and all
were scattered
throughout
the countryside of Judea and Samaria,
except
the Apostles.
Devout
men buried Stephen and made a loud lament over him.
Saul,
meanwhile, was trying to destroy the Church;
entering
house after house and dragging out men and women,
he handed
them over for imprisonment.
Now
those who had been scattered went about preaching the word.
Thus
Philip went down to the city of Samaria
and
proclaimed the Christ to them.
With
one accord, the crowds paid attention to what was said by Philip
when they
heard it and saw the signs he was doing.
For
unclean spirits, crying out in a loud voice,
came out
of many possessed people,
and many
paralyzed and crippled people were cured.
There was great joy in that
city.

Gospel
John 6:35-40
Jesus
said to the crowds,
“I
am the bread of life;
whoever
comes to me will never hunger,
and
whoever believes in me will never thirst.
But
I told you that although you have seen me,
you do
not believe.
Everything
that the Father gives me will come to me,
and I
will not reject anyone who comes to me,
because I
came down from heaven not to do my own will
but the
will of the one who sent me.
And
this is the will of the one who sent me,
that I
should not lose anything of what he gave me,
but that
I should raise it on the last day.
For
this is the will of my Father,
that
everyone who sees the Son and believes in him
may have
eternal life,
and I shall raise him on the last day.”
