Reading 1: Acts 22:30; 23:6-11
But on the next day, wanting to discover more diligently what the reason was that he was accused by the Jews, he released him, and he ordered the priests to convene, with the entire council. And, producing Paul, he stationed him among them.
Now Paul, knowing that one group were Sadducees and the other were Pharisees, exclaimed in the council: “Noble brothers, I am a Pharisee, the son of Pharisees! It is over the hope and resurrection of the dead that I am being judged.” And when he had said this, a dissension occurred between the Pharisees and the Sadducees. And the multitude was divided. For the Sadducees claim that there is no resurrection, and neither angels, nor spirits. But the Pharisees confess both of these. Then there occurred a great clamor. And some of the Pharisees, rising up, were fighting, saying: “We find nothing evil in this man. What if a spirit has spoken to him, or an angel?” And since a great dissension had been made, the tribune, fearing that Paul might be torn apart by them, ordered the soldiers to descend and to seize him from their midst, and to bring him into the fortress. Then, on the following night, the Lord stood near him and said: “Be constant. For just as you have testified about me in Jerusalem, so also it is necessary for you to testify at Rome.”
Responsorial Psalm: Ps 16:1-2a and 5, 7-8, 9-10, 11
R. (1) Keep me safe, O God; you are my hope.
Keep me safe, O God; you are my hope. I have said to the Lord, you are my God. The Lord is the portion of my inheritance and of my cup: it is you that will restore my inheritance to me.
R. Keep me safe, O God; you are my hope.
I will bless the Lord, who has given me understanding: moreover, my reins also have corrected me even till night. I set the Lord always in my sight: for he is at my right hand, that I be not moved.
R. Keep me safe, O God; you are my hope.
Therefore, my heart has been glad, and my tongue has rejoiced: moreover, my flesh also shall rest in hope. Because you will not leave my soul in hell; nor will you give your holy one to see corruption.
R. Keep me safe, O God; you are my hope.
You have made known to me the ways of life; you shall fill me with joy with your countenance: at your right hand are delights even to the end.
R. Keep me safe, O God; you are my hope.
Alleluia: Jn 17:21
R. Alleluia, alleluia.
May they all be one as you, Father, are in me and I in you,
that the world may believe that you sent me, says the Lord.
R. Alleluia, alleluia.
Gospel: John 17:20-26
Lifting up his eyes to heaven, Jesus prayed saying: "I pray not only for these, but also for those who through their word shall believe in me. So may they all be one. Just as you, Father, are in me, and I am in you, so also may they be one in us: so that the world may believe that you have sent me. And the glory that you have given to me, I have given to them, so that they may be one, just as we also are one. I am in them, and you are in me. So may they be perfected as one. And may the world know that you have sent me and that you have loved them, just as you have also loved me. Father, I will that where I am, those whom you have given to me may also be with me, so that they may see my glory which you have given to me. For you loved me before the founding of the world. Father most just, the world has not known you. But I have known you. And these have known that you sent me. And I have made known your name to them, and I will make it known, so that the love in which you have loved me may be in them, and so that I may be in them."
