1st Reading – Acts 4:23-31
23 And being let go, Peter and John came to their own company, and related all that the chief priests and ancients had said to them.
24 ho having heard it, with one accord lifted up their voice to God, and said: Lord, you are He that did make heaven and earth, the sea, and all things that are in them.
25 Who, by the Holy Ghost, by the mouth of our father David, thy servant, has said: Why did the Gentiles rage, and the people meditate vain things?
26 The kings of the earth stood up, and the princes assembled together against the Lord and his Christ.
27 For of a truth there assembled together in this city against thy holy child Jesus, whom you have anointed, Herod, and Pontius Pilate, with the Gentiles and the people of Israel,
28 To do what thy hand and thy counsel decreed to be done.
29 And now, Lord, behold their threatenings, and grant unto thy servants, that with all confidence they may speak thy word,
30 By stretching forth thy hand to cures, and signs, and wonders to be done by the name of thy holy Son Jesus.
31 And when they had prayed, the place was moved wherein they were assembled; and they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and they spoke the word of God with confidence.
Responsorial Psalm – Psalms 2:1-3, 4-7A, 7B-9
R. (see 11d) Blessed are all who take refuge in the Lord.
or:
R. Alleluia.
1 Why do the nations rage
and the peoples utter folly?
2 The kings of the earth rise up,
and the princes conspire together
against the LORD and against his anointed:
3 “Let us break their fetters
and cast their bonds from us!”
R. Blessed are all who take refuge in the Lord.
or:
R. Alleluia.
4 He who is throned in heaven laughs;
the LORD derides them.
5 Then in anger he speaks to them;
he terrifies them in his wrath:
6 “I myself have set up my king
on Zion, my holy mountain.”
7A I will proclaim the decree of the LORD.
R. Blessed are all who take refuge in the Lord.
or:
R. Alleluia.
7B The LORD said to me, “You are my Son;
this day I have begotten you.
8 Ask of me and I will give you
the nations for an inheritance
and the ends of the earth for your possession.
9 You shall rule them with an iron rod;
you shall shatter them like an earthen dish.”
R. Blessed are all who take refuge in the Lord.
or:
R. Alleluia.
Alleluia – Colossians 3:1
R. Alleluia, alleluia.
1 If then you were raised with Christ, seek what is above, where Christ is seated at the right hand of God.
R. Alleluia, alleluia.
Gospel – John 3:1-8
1 And there was a man of the Pharisees, named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews.
2 This man came to Jesus by night, and said to him: Rabbi, we know that you are a teacher who has come from God; for no man can do these signs which you do, unless God be with him.
3 Jesus answered, and said to him: Amen, amen I say to you, unless a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.
4 Nicodemus said to him: How can a man be born when he is old? can he enter a second time into his mother’s womb, and be born again?
5 Jesus answered: Amen, amen I say to you, unless a man be born again of water and the Holy Ghost, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.
6 That which is born of the flesh, is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit, is spirit.
7 Wonder not, that I said to you, you must be born again.
8 The Spirit breathes where he will, and you hear his voice, but you know not where he comes from, and where he goes: so is everyone that is born of the Spirit.
