Léctio sancti Evangélii secundum Ioánnem (14,27-31a)
In illo tempore: Dixit Iesus discipulis suis: 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. Iam non multa loquar vobíscum, venit enim princeps mundi et in me non habet quidquam; sed, ut cognóscat mundus quia díligo Patrem, et sicut mandátum dedit mihi Pater, sic fácio.
At that time: Jesus said to His disciples: 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. Now I will not speak many things with you. For the Prince of this world cometh, and in me he hath not any thing. But that the world may know that I love the Father: and as the Father hath given me commandment, so do I: Arise, let us go hence.
