Léctio sancti Evangélii secúndum Ioánnem (10,27-30)
In illo tempore: Dixit Iesus: Oves meæ vocem meam áudiunt, et ego cognósco eas, et sequúntur me; et ego vitam ætérnam do eis, et non períbunt in ætérnum, et non rápiet eas quisquam de manu mea. Pater meus quod dedit mihi, maíus ómnibus est, et nemo potest rápere de manu Patris. Ego et Pater unum sumus.”
At that time: Jesus said: My sheep hear my voice; and I know them, and they follow me. And I give them life everlasting; and they shall not perish for ever, and no man shall pluck them out of my hand. My Father, that which he hath given me, is greater than all: and no man can pluck them out of the hand of my Father. I and the Father are one.
