First Reading: Dn 7:13-14
As the visions during the
night continued, I saw one like
a Son of man coming on the
clouds of heaven. When he
reached the Ancient One and
was presented before him, the
one like a Son of man received
dominion, glory, and kingship;
all peoples, nations, and languages serve him.
His dominion is an everlasting dominion that shall not be taken away, his kingship shall not be destroyed.
His dominion is an everlasting dominion that shall not be taken away, his kingship shall not be destroyed.
Responsorial Psalm : Ps 93
R –The Lord is king; he is
robed in majesty!
* The Lord is king, in splendor robed; robed is the Lord
and girt about with strength.
R.
* And he has made the world
fi rm, not to be moved. Your
throne stands fi rm from of old;
from everlasting you are, O
Lord. R.
* Your decrees are worthy
of trust indeed; holiness befits
your house, O Lord, for length
of days. R.
Second Reading: Rv 1:5-8
Jesus Christ is the faithful
witness, the firstborn of the
dead and ruler of the kings of
the earth. To him who loves us
and has freed us from our sins
by his blood, who has made
us into a kingdom, priests for
his God and Father, to him be
glory and power forever and
ever. Amen!
Behold, he is coming
amid the clouds, and every eye
will see him, even those who
pierced him. All the peoples of
the earth will lament him. Yes!
Amen!
“I am the Alpha and the
Omega,” says the Lord God,
“the one who is and who was
and who is to come, the almighty.”

Gospel: Jn 18:33-37
Pilate said to Jesus, “Are
you the King of the Jews?”
Jesus answered, “Do you
say this on your own, or have
others told you about me?” Pilate answered, “I am not a Jew,
am I? Your own nation and the
chief priests handed you over to
me. What have you done?”
Jesus answered, “My kingdom does not belong to this
world. If my kingdom did belong to this world, my attendants would be fighting to keep
me from being handed over to
the Jews. But, as it is, my kingdom is not here.”
So Pilate said to him,
“Then, you are a king?” Jesus answered, “You say I am a
king. For this I was born and
for this I came into the world:
to testify to the truth. Everyone
who belongs to the truth listens
to my voice.”
