Tuesday of the Fourth Week of Easter
Reading 1
Those
who had been scattered by the persecution
that
arose because of Stephen
went as
far as Phoenicia, Cyprus, and Antioch,
preaching
the word to no one but Jews.
There
were some Cypriots and Cyrenians among them, however,
who came
to Antioch and began to speak to the Greeks as well,
proclaiming
the Lord Jesus.
The
hand of the Lord was with them
and a
great number who believed turned to the Lord.
The
news about them reached the ears of the Church in Jerusalem,
and they
sent Barnabas to go to Antioch.
When
he arrived and saw the grace of God,
he
rejoiced and encouraged them all
to remain
faithful to the Lord in firmness of heart,
for he
was a good man, filled with the Holy Spirit and faith.
And
a large number of people was added to the Lord.
Then
he went to Tarsus to look for Saul,
and when
he had found him he brought him to Antioch.
For
a whole year they met with the Church
and
taught a large number of people,
and it
was in Antioch that the disciples
were
first called Christians.

Gospel
The
feast of the Dedication was taking place in Jerusalem.
It
was winter.
And
Jesus walked about in the temple area on the Portico of Solomon.
So
the Jews gathered around him and said to him,
“How
long are you going to keep us in suspense?
If
you are the Christ, tell us plainly.”
Jesus
answered them, “I told you and you do not believe.
The
works I do in my Father’s name testify to me.
But
you do not believe, because you are not among my sheep.
My
sheep hear my voice;
I
know them, and they follow me.
I
give them eternal life, and they shall never perish.
No
one can take them out of my hand.
My
Father, who has given them to me, is greater than all,
and no
one can take them out of the Father’s hand.
The Father and I are one.”
