Today's Daily Readings

Daily Readings for Saturday May 28, 2011

 

Reading 1, Acts 16:1-10

¹ From there he went to Derbe, and then on to Lystra, where there was a disciple called Timothy, whose mother was Jewish and had become a believer; but his father was a Greek.

² The brothers at Lystra and Iconium spoke well of him,

³ and Paul, who wanted to have him as a travelling companion, had him circumcised. This was on account of the Jews in the locality where everyone knew his father was a Greek.

⁴ As they visited one town after another, they passed on the decisions reached by the apostles and elders in Jerusalem, with instructions to observe them.

⁵ So the churches grew strong in the faith, as well as growing daily in numbers.

⁶ They travelled through Phrygia and the Galatian country, because they had been told by the Holy Spirit not to preach the word in Asia.

⁷ When they reached the frontier of Mysia they tried to go into Bithynia, but as the Spirit of Jesus would not allow them,

⁸ they went through Mysia and came down to Troas.

⁹ One night Paul had a vision: a Macedonian appeared and kept urging him in these words, 'Come across to Macedonia and help us.'

¹⁰ Once he had seen this vision we lost no time in arranging a passage to Macedonia, convinced that God had called us to bring them the good news.

Gospel: Jn 15:18-21

¹⁸ If the world hates you, you must realise that it hated me before it hated you.

¹⁹ If you belonged to the world, the world would love you as its own; but because you do not belong to the world, because my choice of you has drawn you out of the world, that is why the world hates you.

²⁰ Remember the words I said to you: A servant is not greater than his master. If they persecuted me, they will persecute you too; if they kept my word, they will keep yours as well.

²¹ But it will be on my account that they will do all this to you, because they do not know the one who sent me.
