Saturday of the Fourth Week of Easter
Reading 1
On
the following sabbath
almost
the whole city
gathered
to hear the word of the Lord.
When
the Jews saw the crowds, they were filled with jealousy
and with
violent abuse contradicted what Paul said.
Both
Paul and Barnabas spoke out boldly and said,
“It
was necessary that the word of God be spoken to you first,
but since
you reject it
and
condemn yourselves as unworthy of eternal life,
we now
turn to the Gentiles.
For
so the Lord has commanded us,
I
have made you a light to the Gentiles,
that you may be an instrument of salvation
to
the ends of the earth.”
The
Gentiles were delighted when they heard this
and
glorified the word of the Lord.
All
who were destined for eternal life came to believe,
and the
word of the Lord continued to spread
through
the whole region.
The
Jews, however, incited the women of prominence who were worshipers
and the
leading men of the city,
stirred
up a persecution against Paul and Barnabas,
and
expelled them from their territory.
So
they shook the dust from their feet in protest against them
and went
to Iconium.
The disciples were filled
with joy and the Holy Spirit.

Gospel
Jesus
said to his disciples:
“If
you know me, then you will also know my Father.
From
now on you do know him and have seen him.”
Philip
said to Jesus,
“Master,
show us the Father, and that will be enough for us.”
Jesus
said to him, “Have I been with you for so long a time
and you
still do not know me, Philip?
Whoever
has seen me has seen the Father.
How
can you say, ‘Show us the Father’?
Do
you not believe that I am in the Father and the Father is in me?
The
words that I speak to you I do not speak on my own.
The
Father who dwells in me is doing his works.
Believe
me that I am in the Father and the Father is in me,
or else,
believe because of the works themselves.
Amen,
amen, I say to you,
whoever
believes in me will do the works that I do,
and will
do greater ones than these,
because I
am going to the Father.
And
whatever you ask in my name, I will do,
so that
the Father may be glorified in the Son.
If you ask anything of me in
my name, I will do it.”
