Lectionary Readings for the 4th Sunday of
Easter, Year B
Readings, Responsorial Psalm and Gospel
Reading I, Acts 4, 8-12
A Reading from the Acts of the Apostles
This is the only name by which you can be saved.
Peter, filled with the Holy Spirit, spoke up: "Leaders of
the people! Elders! If we must answer today for a good
deed done to a cripple and explain how he was restored to
health, then you and all the people of Israel must realize
that it was done in the name of Jesus Christ the Nazorean
whom you crucified and whom God raised from the dead. In
the power of that name this man stands before you perfectly
sound. This Jesus is 'the stone rejected by you the builders
which has become the cornerstone.' There is no salvation
in anyone else, for there is no other name in the whole
world given to men by which we are to be saved."
The Word of the Lord.
Responsorial Psalm, Ps 118, 1. 8-9. 21-23. 26. 21. 29. R. v. 22
R.
The stone rejected by the builders has become the
cornerstone.
1. Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good,
for his mercy endures forever.
It is better to take refuge in the Lord
than to trust in man.
It is better to take refuge in the Lord
than to trust in princes. R.
2. I will give thanks to you, for you have answered me
and have been my savior.
The stone which the builders rejected
has become the cornerstone.
By the Lord has this been done;
it is wonderful in our eyes. R.
3. Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord;
we bless you from the house of the Lord.
I will give thanks to you, for you have answered me
and have been my savior.
Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good;
for his kindness endures forever. R.
Reading II, 1 Jn 3, 1-2
A Reading from the First Letter of John
We shall see God as he is.
See what love the Father has bestowed on us in letting
us be called children of God! Yet that is what we are.
The reason the world does not recognize us is that it
never recognized the Son. Dearly beloved, we are God's
children now; what we shall later be has not yet come
to light. We know that when it comes to light we shall
be like him, for we shall see him as he is.
The Word of the Lord.
Gospel, Jn 10, 11-18
Alleluia cf. Jn 10, 14
R. Alleluia. I am the good shepherd, says the
Lord; I know my sheep, and mine know me. R. Alleluia.
A Reading from the Holy Gospel, According to John
The good shepherd lays down his life for his sheep.
Jesus said: "I am the good shepherd; the good shepherd
lays down his life for the sheep. The hired hand, who
is no shepherd nor owner of the sheep, catches sight of
the wolf coming and runs away, leaving the sheep to be
snatched and scattered by the wolf. That is because he
works for pay; he has no concern for the sheep. "I am
the good shepherd. I know my sheep and my sheep know me
in the same way that the Father knows me and I know the
Father; for these sheep I will give my life. I have other
sheep that do not belong to this fold. I must lead them,
too, and they shall hear my voice. There shall be one
flock then, one shepherd. The Father loves me for this:
that I lay down my life to take it up again. No one takes
it from me; I lay it down freely. I have power to lay it
down, and I have power to take it up again. This command
I received from my Father."
This is the gospel of the Lord.
