Reading 1, Acts 11:21-26; 13:1-3

²¹ The Lord helped them, and a great number believed and were converted to the Lord.

²² The news of them came to the ears of the church in Jerusalem and they sent Barnabas out to Antioch.

²³ There he was glad to see for himself that God had given grace, and he urged them all to remain faithful to the Lord with heartfelt devotion;

²⁴ for he was a good man, filled with the Holy Spirit and with faith. And a large number of people were won over to the Lord.

²⁵ Barnabas then left for Tarsus to look for Saul,

²⁶ and when he found him he brought him to Antioch. And it happened that they stayed together in that church a whole year, instructing a large number of people. It was at Antioch that the disciples were first called 'Christians'.

¹ In the church at Antioch the following were prophets and teachers: Barnabas, Simeon called Niger, and Lucius of Cyrene, Manaen, who had been brought up with Herod the tetrarch, and Saul.

² One day while they were offering worship to the Lord and keeping a fast, the Holy Spirit said, 'I want Barnabas and Saul set apart for the work to which I have called them.'

³ So it was that after fasting and prayer they laid their hands on them and sent them off.

Responsorial Psalm, Psalms 98:1, 2-3, 3-4, 5-6

¹ [Psalm] Sing a new song to Yahweh, for he has performed wonders, his saving power is in his right hand and his holy arm.

² Yahweh has made known his saving power, revealed his saving justice for the nations to see,

³ mindful of his faithful love and his constancy to the House of Israel. The whole wide world has seen the saving power of our God.

⁴ Acclaim Yahweh, all the earth, burst into shouts of joy!

⁵ Play to Yahweh on the harp, to the sound of instruments;

⁶ to the sound of trumpet and horn, acclaim the presence of the King.
