Reading 1
While
Apollos was in Corinth,
Paul
traveled through the interior of the country
and down
to Ephesus where he found some disciples.
He
said to them,
“Did
you receive the Holy Spirit when you became believers?”
They
answered him,
“We
have never even heard that there is a Holy Spirit.”
He
said, “How were you baptized?”
They
replied, “With the baptism of John.”
Paul
then said, “John baptized with a baptism of repentance,
telling
the people to believe in the one who was to come after him,
that is,
in Jesus.”
When
they heard this,
they were
baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus.
And
when Paul laid his hands on them,
the Holy
Spirit came upon them,
and they spoke
in tongues and prophesied.
Altogether
there were about twelve men.
He
entered the synagogue, and for three months debated boldly
with persuasive arguments about the Kingdom of God.

Gospel
The
disciples said to Jesus,
“Now
you are talking plainly, and not in any figure of speech.
Now
we realize that you know everything
and that
you do not need to have anyone question you.
Because
of this we believe that you came from God.”
Jesus
answered them, “Do you believe now?
Behold,
the hour is coming and has arrived
when each
of you will be scattered to his own home
and you
will leave me alone.
But
I am not alone, because the Father is with me.
I
have told you this so that you might have peace in me.
In
the world you will have trouble,
but take courage, I have conquered the world.”
