Tuesday of the Sixth Week of Easter
Reading 1
The
crowd in Philippi joined in the attack on Paul and Silas,
and the
magistrates had them stripped
and
ordered them to be beaten with rods.
After
inflicting many blows on them,
they
threw them into prison
and
instructed the jailer to guard them securely.
When
he received these instructions, he put them in the innermost cell
and
secured their feet to a stake.
About
midnight, while Paul and Silas were praying
and
singing hymns to God as the prisoners listened,
there was
suddenly such a severe earthquake
that the
foundations of the jail shook;
all the
doors flew open, and the chains of all were pulled loose.
When
the jailer woke up and saw the prison doors wide open,
he drew
his sword and was about to kill himself,
thinking
that the prisoners had escaped.
But
Paul shouted out in a loud voice,
“Do
no harm to yourself; we are all here.”
He
asked for a light and rushed in and,
trembling
with fear, he fell down before Paul and Silas.
Then
he brought them out and said,
“Sirs,
what must I do to be saved?”
And
they said, “Believe in the Lord Jesus
and you
and your household will be saved.”
So
they spoke the word of the Lord to him and to everyone in his house.
He
took them in at that hour of the night and bathed their wounds;
then he
and all his family were baptized at once.
He
brought them up into his house and provided a meal
and with his household rejoiced at having come to faith
in God.

Gospel
Jesus
said to his disciples:
“Now
I am going to the one who sent me,
and not
one of you asks me, ‘Where are you going?’
But
because I told you this, grief has filled your hearts.
But
I tell you the truth, it is better for you that I go.
For
if I do not go, the Advocate will not come to you.
But
if I go, I will send him to you.
And
when he comes he will convict the world
in regard
to sin and righteousness and condemnation:
sin,
because they do not believe in me;
righteousness, because I am going to the Father
and you
will no longer see me;
condemnation, because the ruler of this world has been condemned.”
