Acts 18:23-28
23 Then having called two centurions, he said to them: Make ready two hundred soldiers to go as far as Caesarea, and seventy horsemen, and two hundred spearmen for the third hour of the night: 24 And provide beasts, that they may set Paul on, and bring him safe to Felix the governor. 25 (For he feared lest perhaps the Jews might take him away by force and kill him, and he should afterwards be slandered, as if he was to take money.) And he wrote a letter after this manner:
.
26 Claudius Lysias to the most excellent governor, Felix, greeting. 27 This man being taken by the Jews, and ready to be killed by them, I rescued coming in with an army, understanding that he is a Roman: 28 And meaning to know the cause which they objected unto him, I brought him forth into their council.
.
Psalm 47:2-3, 8-10
2 Great is the Lord, and exceedingly to be praised in the city of our God, in his holy mountain. 3 With the joy of the whole earth is mount Sion founded, on the sides of the north, the city of the great king.
.
8 With a vehement wind thou shalt break in pieces the ships of Tharsis. 9 As we have heard, so have we seen, in the city of the Lord of hosts, in the city of our God: God hath founded it for ever. 10 We have received thy mercy, O God, in the midst of thy temple.

John 16:23-28
23 And in that day you shall not ask me any thing. Amen, amen I say to you: if you ask the Father any thing in my name, he will give it you. 24 Hitherto you have not asked any thing in my name. Ask, and you shall receive; that your joy may be full. 25 These things I have spoken to you in proverbs. The hour cometh, when I will no more speak to you in proverbs, but will shew you plainly of the Father.
.
26 In that day you shall ask in my name; and I say not to you, that I will ask the Father for you: 27 For the Father himself loveth you, because you have loved me, and have believed that I came out from God. 28 I came forth from the Father, and am come into the world: again I leave the world, and I go to the Father.

  1. Such a shame that you have to use the old fashioned Douay version. Seems to me that scriptures should not have copyright restrictions. Thanks for continuing to post the readings though. It is much appreciated.

  2. Douay is the authentic version, I wouldn’t want any other. Modern versions tend to change little things here and there in their translations which, when put together can make a big difference.
