First reading: Acts 28:16-20, 30-31

‘He lived in Rome proclaiming the kingdom of God.’

When we came into Rome, Paul was allowed to stay by himself, with the soldier who guarded him.
  After three days he called together the local leaders of the Jews, and when they had gathered, he said to them, ‘Brothers, though I had done nothing against our people or the customs of our fathers, yet I was delivered as a prisoner from Jerusalem into the hands of the Romans. When they had examined me, they wished to set me at liberty, because there was no reason for the death penalty in my case. But because the Jews objected, I was compelled to appeal to Caesar — though I had no charge to bring against my nation. For this reason, therefore, I have asked to see you and speak with you, since it is because of the hope of Israel that I am wearing this chain.’
  He lived there two whole years at his own expense, and welcomed all who came to him, proclaiming the kingdom of God and teaching about the Lord Jesus Christ with all boldness and without hindrance.

Responsorial Psalm: Ps 11(10):4. 5, 7. ℟ cf. 7b

The upright shall behold your face, O Lord.
or: Alleluia.
The Lord is in his holy Temple;
the throne of the Lord is in heaven.
His eyes behold the world;
his gaze probes the human race.
The upright shall behold your face, O Lord.
or: Alleluia.
The Lord inspects the just and the wicked;
the lover of violence he hates.
For the Lord is just and loves deeds of justice;
the upright shall behold his face.
The upright shall behold your face, O Lord.
or: Alleluia.

Gospel Acclamation: Cf. John 16:7, 13

Alleluia, alleluia.
I will send you the Spirit of truth, says the Lord,
he will guide you into all the truth.
Alleluia.

Gospel: John 21:20-25

‘This is the disciple who has written these things, and his testimony is true.’

At that time: Peter turned and saw the disciple whom Jesus loved following them, the one who also had leaned back against him during the supper and had said, ‘Lord, who is it that is going to betray you?’ When Peter saw him, he said to Jesus, ‘Lord, what about this man?’ Jesus said to him, ‘If it is my will that he remain until I come, what is that to you? You follow me!’ So the saying spread abroad among the brothers and sisters that this disciple was not to die; yet Jesus did not say to him that he was not to die, but, ‘If it is my will that he remain until I come, what is that to you?’
  This is the disciple who is bearing witness about these things, and who has written these things, and we know that his testimony is true.
  Now there are also many other things that Jesus did. Were every one of them to be written, I suppose that the world itself could not contain the books that would be written.
