This Sunday’s Gospel
The Gospel passage that will be read at the coming Sunday Mass.
6th Sunday of Easter: Year B
John Chapter: 15 Verse: 9-17
A person can have no greater love than to lay down their life for their friends
Jesus said to his disciples:
‘As the Father has loved me.
so I have loved you.
Remain in my love.
If you keep my commandments
you will remain in my love,
just as I have kept my Father’s commandments
and remain in his love.
I have told you this
so that my own joy may be in you
and your joy be complete.
This is my commandment:
love one another,
as I have loved you.
A person can have no greater love
than to lay down their life for their friends.
You are my friends,
if you do what I command you.
I shall not call you servants any more,
because a servant does not know
his master’s business;
I call you friends,
because I have made known to you
everything I have learnt from my Father.
You did not choose me,
no, I chose you;
and I commissioned you
to go out and to bear fruit,
fruit that will last;
and then the Father will give you
anything you ask him in my name.
What I have commanded you
is to love one another.’
This is the Gospel of the Lord
