Gospel of the day 17/5/11, 18/5/11, & 19/5/11

19/5/11


John 13:16-20. 
When Jesus had washed the disciples' feet, he said to them: Amen, amen, I say to you, no slave is greater than his master nor any messenger greater than the one who sent him.
If you understand this, blessed are you if you do it. 
I am not speaking of all of you. I know those whom I have chosen. But so that the scripture might be fulfilled, 'The one who ate my food has raised his heel against me.' 
From now on I am telling you before it happens, so that when it happens you may believe that I AM. 
Amen, amen, I say to you, whoever receives the one I send receives me, and whoever receives me receives the one who sent me." 


18/5/11


John 12:44-50. 
Jesus cried out and said, Whoever believes in me believes not only in me but also in the one who sent me,
and whoever sees me sees the one who sent me. 
I came into the world as light, so that everyone who believes in me might not remain in darkness. 
And if anyone hears my words and does not observe them, I do not condemn him, for I did not come to condemn the world but to save the world. 
Whoever rejects me and does not accept my words has something to judge him: the word that I spoke, it will condemn him on the last day, 
because I did not speak on my own, but the Father who sent me commanded me what to say and speak. 
And I know that his commandment is eternal life. So what I say, I say as the Father told me."


17/5/11


John 10:22-30. 
The feast of the Dedication was taking place in Jerusalem. It was winter.
And Jesus walked about in the temple area on the Portico of Solomon.
So the Jews gathered around him and said to him, "How long are you going to keep us in suspense? If you are the Messiah, tell us plainly."
Jesus answered them, "I told you and you do not believe. The works I do in my Father's name testify to me.
But you do not believe, because you are not among my sheep. 
My sheep hear my voice; I know them, and they follow me. 
I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish. No one can take them out of my hand. 
My Father, who has given them to me, is greater than all, and no one can take them out of the Father's hand.
The Father and I are one."
