Acts of the Apostles

19,1-8.

]While Apollos was in Corinth, Paul traveled through the interior of the country and came 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.

Psalm

Psalms

68(67),2-3.4-5ac.6-7ab.

]God arises; his enemies are scattered,
and those who hate him flee before him.
]As smoke is driven away, so are they driven;
as wax melts before the fire.
]But the just rejoice and exult before God;
they are glad and rejoice.
]Sing to God, chant praise to his name;
]whose name is the LORD.
]The father of orphans and the defender of widows
is God in his holy dwelling.
]God gives a home to the forsaken;
]he leads forth prisoners to prosperity.

Gospel

Holy Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Saint John

16,29-33.

]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."
