Léctio sancti Evangélii secundum Ioánnem (16,29-33)
In illo tempore: Dixerunt discipuli ad Iesum: Ecce nunc palam lóqueris, et provérbium nullum dicis. Nunc scimus quia scis ómnia, et non opus est tibi, ut quis te intérroget; in hoc crédimus quia a Deo exísti.” Respóndit eis Iésus: “Modo créditis? Ecce venit hora et iam venit, ut dispergámini unusquísque in própria et me solum relinquátis; et non sum solus, quia Pater mecum est. Hæc locútus sum vobis, ut in me pacem habeátis; in mundo pressúram habétis, sed confídite, ego vici mundum.
At that time: His Disciples say to Jesus: Behold now thou speakest plainly, and sayest no proverb. Now we know that thou knowest all things, and thou needest not that any man ask thee. In this we believe that thou camest forth from God. Jesus answered them: Now do you believe? Behold the hour cometh, and it is now come, that you shall be scattered every man into his own, and me you shall leave alone: and I am not alone because the Father is with me. These things I have spoken to you, that in me you may have peace. In the world you shall have distress, but have confidence, I have overcome the world.
