| 2 Timothy 3:10-17 |
‘All who desire to live a godly life in Christ will be persecuted.’
Beloved: You have followed my teaching, my conduct, my aim in life, my faith, my patience, my love, my steadfastness, my persecutions and sufferings that happened to me at Antioch, at Iconium, and at Lystra — which persecutions I endured; yet from them all the Lord rescued me. Indeed, all who desire to live a godly life in Christ Jesus will be persecuted, while evil people and impostors will go on from bad to worse, deceiving and being deceived. But as for you, continue in what you have learned and have firmly believed, knowing from whom you learned it and how from childhood you have been acquainted with the sacred writings, which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith in Christ Jesus. All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, equipped for every good work.

| Ps 119(118):157, 160. 161, 165. 166, 168. ℟165a |
The lovers of your law have great peace, O Lord.
Though my foes and oppressors are countless,
I have not swerved from your decrees.
Truth is the sum of your word;
all your just judgements are eternal.
The lovers of your law have great peace, O Lord.
Though princes oppress me without cause,
my heart reveres your word.
The lovers of your law have great peace;
no stumbling block for them.
The lovers of your law have great peace, O Lord.
I await your salvation, O Lord;
I fulfil your commands.
I obey your precepts and decrees;
all my ways are before you.
The lovers of your law have great peace, O Lord.

‘How can they say that the Christ is the son of David?’
At that time: As Jesus taught in the Temple, he said, ‘How can the scribes say that the Christ is the son of David? David himself, in the Holy Spirit, declared, “The Lord said to my Lord, ‘Sit at my right hand, until I put your enemies under your feet.’ ” David himself calls him Lord. So how is he his son?’ And the great throng heard him gladly.

‘Christ would proclaim light both to our people and to the Gentiles.’
In those days: Paul said, ‘King Agrippa, I was not disobedient to the heavenly vision, but declared first to those in Damascus, then in Jerusalem and throughout all the region of Judea, and also to the Gentiles, that they should repent and turn to God, performing deeds in keeping with their repentance. For this reason the Jews seized me in the Temple and tried to kill me. To this day I have had the help that comes from God, and so I stand here testifying both to small and great, saying nothing but what the prophets and Moses said would come to pass: that the Christ must suffer and that, by being the first to rise from the dead, he would proclaim light both to our people and to the Gentiles.’

| Ps 117(116):1. 2. ℟ Mark 16:15 |
Go into all the world and proclaim the good news.
O praise the Lord, all you nations;
acclaim him, all you peoples!
Go into all the world and proclaim the good news.
For his mercy has prevailed over us;
and the faithfulness of the Lord endures for ever.
Go into all the world and proclaim the good news.

Alleluia, alleluia!
I am the good shepherd, says the Lord,
I know my own sheep and my own know me.
Alleluia!
| Gospel | John 10:11-16 |

‘The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep.’
At that time: Jesus said, ‘I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep. He who is a hired hand and not a shepherd, who does not own the sheep, sees the wolf coming and leaves the sheep and flees, and the wolf snatches them and scatters them. He flees because he is a hired hand and cares nothing for the sheep. I am the good shepherd. I know my own and my own know me, just as the Father knows me and I know the Father; and I lay down my life for the sheep. And I have other sheep that are not of this fold. I must bring them also, and they will listen to my voice. So there will be one flock, one shepherd.’
