Léctio sancti Evangélii secundum Ioánnem (14,23-29)
In illo tempore: Dixit Iesus discipulis suis: “Si quis díligit me, sermónem meum servábit, et Pater meus díliget eum, et ad eum veniémus et mansiónem apud eum faciémus; qui non díligit me, sermónes meos non servat. Et sermo, quem audítis, non est meus, sed eíus qui misit me, Patris. Hæc locútus sum vobis apud vos manens. Paráclitus autem, Spíritus Sanctus, quem mittet Pater in nómine meo, ille vos docébit ómnia et súggeret vobis ómnia, quæ dixi vobis. Pacem relínquo vobis, pacem meam do vobis; non quómodo mundus dat, ego do vobis. Non turbétur cor vestrum neque formídet. Audístis quia ego dixi vobis: Vado et vénio ad vos. Si diligerétis me, gauderétis quia vado ad Patrem, quia Pater maíor me est. Et nunc dixi vobis, priúsquam fiat, ut, cum factum fúerit, credátis.
At that time: Jesus said to His disciples: If any love me, he will keep my word, and my Father will love him, and we will come to him, and will make abode with him. He that loveth me not, keepeth not my words. And the word which you have heard, is not mine; but his that sent me, the Father's. These things have I spoken to you abiding with you. But the Paraclete the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, & suggest unto you all things whatsoever I shall say to you. Peace I leave to you, my peace I give to you; not as the world giveth, do I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled, nor fear. You have heard that I said to you, I go, and I come to you. If you loved me, you would be glad verily, that I go to the Father: because the Father is greater than I. And now I have told you before it come to pass: that when it shall come to pass, you may believe.
