Acts 5:17-26
17But the high priest rose up and all who were with him, that is, the party of the Sadʹducees, and filled with jealousy
18they arrested the apostles and put them in the common prison.
19But at night an angel of the Lord opened the prison doors and brought them out and said,
20“Go and stand in the temple and speak to the people all the words of this Life.”
21And when they heard this, they entered the temple at daybreak and taught. Now the high priest came and those who were with him and called together the council and all the senate of Israel, and sent to the prison to have them brought.
22But when the officers came, they did not find them in the prison, and they returned and reported,
23“We found the prison securely locked and the sentries standing at the doors, but when we opened it we found no one inside.”
24Now when the captain of the temple and the chief priests heard these words, they were much perplexed about them, wondering what this would come to.
25And some one came and told them, “The men whom you put in prison are standing in the temple and teaching the people.”
26Then the captain with the officers went and brought them, but without violence, for they were afraid of being stoned by the people.
Responsorial Psalm
Psalms 34:2-9
1I will bless the LORD at all times; his praise shall continually be in my mouth.
2My soul makes its boast in the LORD; let the afflicted hear and be glad.
3O magnify the LORD with me, and let us exalt his name together!
4I sought the LORD, and he answered me, and delivered me from all my fears.
5Look to him, and be radiant; so your faces shall never be ashamed.
6This poor man cried, and the LORD heard him, and saved him out of all his troubles.
7The angel of the LORD encamps around those who fear him, and delivers them.
8O taste and see that the LORD is good! Happy is the man who takes refuge in him!
Gospel
John 3:16-21
16For God so loved the world that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life.
17For God sent the Son into the world, not to condemn the world, but that the world might be saved through him.
18He who believes in him is not condemned; he who does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only Son of God.
19And this is the judgment, that the light has come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.
20For every one who does evil hates the light, and does not come to the light, lest his deeds should be exposed.
21But he who does what is true comes to the light, that it may be clearly seen that his deeds have been wrought in God.

1You then, my son, be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus,
2and what you have heard from me before many witnesses entrust to faithful men who will be able to teach others also.
3Take your share of suffering as a good soldier of Christ Jesus.
Responsorial Psalm
Psalms 1:1-4, 6
1Blessed is the man who walks not in the counsel of the wicked, nor stands in the way of sinners, nor sits in the seat of scoffers;
2but his delight is in the law of the LORD, and on his law he meditates day and night.
3He is like a tree planted by streams of water, that yields its fruit in its season, and its leaf does not wither. In all that he does, he prospers.
4The wicked are not so, but are like chaff which the wind drives away.
6for the LORD knows the way of the righteous, but the way of the wicked will perish.
Gospel
Matthew 18:1-5
1At that time the disciples came to Jesus, saying, “Who is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven?”
2And calling to him a child, he put him in the midst of them,
3and said, “Truly, I say to you, unless you turn and become like children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven.
4Whoever humbles himself like this child, he is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven.
5“Whoever receives one such child in my name receives me;
