Daily Mass Readings for May 05, 2026: Gospel — Jo 14, 27-31a

1 ⁹ But Jews came from Antioch and Iconium, and after winning the crowds over, they stoned Paul and dragged him out of the city, presuming him to be dead. 2 ⁰ But after the disciples had surrounded him, he got up and went back into the city. On the next day he left with Barnabas for Derbe. 2 ¹ After they had proclaimed the good news in that city and made many disciples, they returned to Lystra, to Iconium, and to Antioch. 2 ² They strengthened the souls of the disciples and encouraged them to continue in the faith, saying, “We must enter the kingdom of God through many persecutions.” 2 ³ When they had appointed elders for them in the various churches, with prayer and fasting they entrusted them to the protection of the Lord in whom they had believed. 2 ⁴ Then they passed through Pisidia and came into Pamphylia, 2 ⁵ and when they had spoken the word in Perga, they went down to Attalia. 2 ⁶ From there they sailed back to Antioch, where they had been commended to the grace of God for the work they had now completed. 2 ⁷ When they arrived and gathered the church together, they reported all the things God had done with them, and that he had opened a door of faith for the Gentiles. 2 ⁸ So they spent considerable time with the disciples.
