Tuesday of the Fifth Week of Easter
Reading 1
In
those days, some Jews from Antioch and Iconium
arrived
and won over the crowds.
They
stoned Paul and dragged him out of the city,
supposing
that he was dead.
But
when the disciples gathered around him,
he got up
and entered the city.
On
the following day he left with Barnabas for Derbe.
After
they had proclaimed the good news to that city
and made
a considerable number of disciples,
they
returned to Lystra and to Iconium
and to Antioch.
They
strengthened the spirits of the disciples
and
exhorted them to persevere in the faith, saying,
“It
is necessary for us to undergo many hardships
to enter
the Kingdom of God.”
They
appointed presbyters for them in each Church and,
with
prayer and fasting, commended them to the Lord
in whom
they had put their faith.
Then
they traveled through Pisidia and reached Pamphylia.
After
proclaiming the word at Perga they went down to Attalia.
From
there they sailed to Antioch,
where
they had been commended to the grace of God
for the
work they had now accomplished.
And
when they arrived, they called the Church together
and
reported what God had done with them
and how
he had opened the door of faith to the Gentiles.
Then they spent no little
time with the disciples.

Gospel
Jesus
said to his disciples:
“Peace
I leave with you; my peace I give to you.
Not
as the world gives do I give it to you.
Do
not let your hearts be troubled or afraid.
You
heard me tell you,
‘I
am going away and I will come back to you.’
If
you loved me,
you would
rejoice that I am going to the Father;
for the
Father is greater than I.
And
now I have told you this before it happens,
so that
when it happens you may believe.
I
will no longer speak much with you,
for the
ruler of the world is coming.
He
has no power over me,
but the
world must know that I love the Father
and that I do just as the Father has commanded me.”
