First Reading

Revelation 21:9b-14

The angel spoke to me, saying,
   “Come here.
I will show you the bride, the wife of the Lamb.”
He took me in spirit to a great, high mountain
   and showed me the holy city Jerusalem
   coming down out of heaven from God.
It gleamed with the splendor of God.
Its radiance was like that of a precious stone,
   like jasper, clear as crystal.
It had a massive, high wall,
   with twelve gates where twelve angels were stationed
   and on which names were inscribed,
   the names of the twelve tribes of the children of Israel.
There were three gates facing east,
   three north, three south, and three west.
The wall of the city had twelve courses of stones as its foundation,
   on which were inscribed the twelve names
   of the twelve Apostles of the Lamb.

Primera Lectura

Apocalipsis 21, 9-14

Uno de los ángeles me habló y me dijo:
“Ven, que te voy a enseñar a la novia,
a la esposa del Cordero”.
Entonces me transportó en espíritu a una montaña elevada
y me mostró a Jerusalén,
la ciudad santa, que descendía del cielo,
resplandeciente con la gloria de Dios.
Su fulgor era semejante al de una piedra preciosa,
como el de un diamante cristalino.

Tenía una muralla ancha y elevada,
con doce puertas monumentales,
y sobre ellas, doce ángeles y doce nombres escritos,
los nombres de las doce tribus de Israel.
Tres de estas puertas daban al oriente,
tres al norte, tres al sur y tres al poniente.
La muralla descansaba sobre doce cimientos,
en los que estaban escritos
los doce nombres de los apóstoles del Cordero.

Gospel

John 1:45-51

Philip found Nathanael and told him,
   We have found the one about whom Moses wrote in the law,
   and also the prophets, Jesus son of Joseph, from Nazareth.
But Nathanael said to him,
   Can anything good come from Nazareth?
Philip said to him, Come and see.
Jesus saw Nathanael coming toward him and said of him,
   Here is a true child of Israel.
There is no duplicity in him.
Nathanael said to him, How do you know me?
Jesus answered and said to him,
   Before Philip called you, I saw you under the fig tree.
Nathanael answered him,
   Rabbi, you are the Son of God; you are the King of Israel.
Jesus answered and said to him,
   Do you believe
   because I told you that I saw you under the fig tree?
You will see greater things than this.
And he said to him, Amen, amen, I say to you,
   you will see heaven opened and the angels of God
   ascending and descending on the Son of Man.

Evangelio

Juan 1, 45-51

En aquel tiempo, Felipe se encontró con Natanael y le dijo:
“Hemos encontrado a aquel de quien escribió Moisés
en la ley y también los profetas.
Es Jesús de Nazaret, el hijo de José”.
Natanael replicó:
“¿Acaso puede salir de Nazaret algo bueno?”
Felipe le contestó:
“Ven y lo verás”.

Cuando Jesús vio que Natanael se acercaba, dijo:
“Este es un verdadero israelita en el que no hay doblez”.
Natanael le preguntó:
“¿De dónde me conoces?”
Jesús le respondió:
“Antes de que Felipe te llamara,
te vi cuando estabas debajo de la higuera”.
Respondió Natanael:
“Maestro, tú eres el Hijo de Dios,
tú eres el rey de Israel”.
Jesús le contestó:
“Tú crees, prorque te he dicho que te vi debajo de la higuera.
Mayores cosas has de ver”.
Después añadió:
“Yo les aseguro que verán el cielo abierto
y a los ángeles de Dios subir y bajar sobre el Hijo del hombre”.
