Saturday of the Fifth Week of Easter
Reading 1
Paul
reached also Derbe and Lystra
where
there was a disciple named Timothy,
the son
of a Jewish woman who was a believer,
but his
father was a Greek.
The
brothers in Lystra and Iconium
spoke highly of him,
and Paul
wanted him to come along with him.
On
account of the Jews of that region, Paul had him circumcised,
for they
all knew that his father was a Greek.
As
they traveled from city to city,
they
handed on to the people for observance the decisions
reached
by the Apostles and presbyters in Jerusalem.
Day
after day the churches grew stronger in faith
and
increased in number.
They
traveled through the Phrygian and Galatian territory
because
they had been prevented by the Holy Spirit
from
preaching the message in the province of Asia.
When
they came to Mysia, they tried to go on into
Bithynia,
but the
Spirit of Jesus did not allow them,
so they
crossed through Mysia and came down to Troas.
During
the night Paul had a vision.
A
Macedonian stood before him and implored him with these words,
“Come
over to Macedonia and help us.”
When
he had seen the vision,
we sought
passage to Macedonia at once,
concluding that God had called us to proclaim the Good News to
them.

Gospel
Jesus
said to his disciples:
“If
the world hates you, realize that it hated me first.
If
you belonged to the world, the world would love its own;
but
because you do not belong to the world,
and I
have chosen you out of the world,
the world
hates you.
Remember
the word I spoke to you,
‘No
slave is greater than his master.’
If
they persecuted me, they will also persecute you.
If
they kept my word, they will also keep yours.
And
they will do all these things to you on account of my name,
because they do not know the one who sent me.”
