Daily Mass Readings for May 19, 2026: Gospel — Jo 17,1-11

1 ⁷ From Miletus he sent a message to Ephesus, telling the elders of the church to come to him. 1 ⁸ When they arrived, he said to them, “You yourselves know how I lived the whole time I was with you, from the first day I set foot in the province of Asia, 1 ⁹ serving the Lord with all humility and with tears, and with the trials that happened to me because of the plots of the Jews. 2 ⁰ You know that I did not hold back from proclaiming to you anything that would be helpful, and from teaching you publicly and from house to house, 2 ¹ testifying to both Jews and Greeks about repentance toward God and faith in our Lord Jesus. 2 ² And now, compelled by the Spirit, I am going to Jerusalem without knowing what will happen to me there, 2 ³ except that the Holy Spirit warns me in town after town that imprisonment and persecutions are waiting for me. 2 ⁴ But I do not consider my life worth anything to myself, so that I may finish my task and the ministry that I received from the Lord Jesus, to testify to the good news of God’s grace. 2 ⁵ “And now I know that none of you among whom I went around proclaiming the kingdom will see me again. 2 ⁶ Therefore I declare to you today that I am innocent of the blood of you all. 2 ⁷ For I did not hold back from announcing to you the whole purpose of God.
