Friday of the Sixth Week of Easter
Year A — "Your hearts will rejoice"
First Reading
9And the Lord said to Paul in the nights, by a vision: Do not fear, but speak; and hold not thy peace,
10Because I am with thee: and no man shall set upon thee, to hurt thee; for I have much people in this city.
11And he stayed there a year and six months, teaching among them the word of God.
12But when Gallio was proconsul of Achaia, the Jews with one accord rose up against Paul, and brought him to the judgment seat,
13Saying: This man persuadeth men to worship God contrary to the law.
14And when Paul was beginning to open his mouth, Gallio said to the Jews: If it were some matter of injustice, or an heinous deed, O Jews, I should with reason bear with you.
15But if they be questions of word and names, and of your law, look you to it: I will not be judge of such things.
16And he drove them from the judgment seat.
17And all laying hold on Sosthenes, the ruler of the synagogue, beat him before the judgment seat; and Gallio cared for none of those things.
18But Paul, when he had stayed yet many days, taking his leave of the brethren, sailed thence into Syria (and with him Priscilla and Aquila), having shorn his head in Cenchrae: for he had a vow.

Gospel
20Amen, amen I say to you, that you shall lament and weep, but the world shall rejoice; and you shall be made sorrowful, but your sorrow shall be turned into joy.
21A woman, when she is in labour, hath sorrow, because her hour is come; but when she hath brought forth the child, she remembereth no more the anguish, for joy that a man is born into the world.
22So also you now indeed have sorrow; but I will see you again, and your heart shall rejoice; and your joy no man shall take from you.
23And in that day you shall not ask me any thing. Amen, amen I say to you: if you ask the Father any thing in my name, he will give it you.
The Gospel of the Lord.
