First Reading
Daniel 7:13-14
13 I was gazing into the
visions of the night, when I saw, coming on the clouds of heaven, as it were a
son of man. He came to the One most venerable and was led into his presence.
14 On him was conferred
rule, honour and kingship, and all peoples, nations and languages became his
servants. His rule is an everlasting rule which will never pass away, and his
kingship will never come to an end.

Word of the Lord”
PSALMS 93:1, 1-2, 5
1 Yahweh is king, robed
in majesty, robed is Yahweh and girded with power.
2 The world is indeed
set firm, it can never be shaken; your throne is set firm from of old, from all
eternity you exist.
5 Your decrees stand firm,
unshakeable, holiness is the beauty of your house, Yahweh, for all time to
come.
Second Reading
Revelation 1:5-8
5 and from Jesus
Christ, the faithful witness, the First-born from the dead, the highest of
earthly kings. He loves us and has washed away our sins with his blood,
6 and made us a Kingdom
of Priests to serve his God and Father; to him, then, be glory and power for
ever and ever. Amen.
7 Look, he is coming on
the clouds; everyone will see him, even those who pierced him, and all the
races of the earth will mourn over him. Indeed this shall be so. Amen.
8 'I am the Alpha and
the Omega,' says the Lord God, who is, who was, and who is to come, the
Almighty.

Gospel Reading
John 18:33-37
33 So Pilate went back
into the Praetorium and called Jesus to him and asked him, 'Are you the king of
the Jews?'
34 Jesus replied, 'Do
you ask this of your own accord, or have others said it to you about me?'
35 Pilate answered, 'Am
I a Jew? It is your own people and the chief priests who have handed you over
to me: what have you done?'
36 Jesus replied, 'Mine
is not a kingdom of this world; if my kingdom were of this world, my men would
have fought to prevent my being surrendered to the Jews. As it is, my kingdom
does not belong here.'
37 Pilate said, 'So,
then you are a king?' Jesus answered, 'It is you who say that I am a king. I
was born for this, I came into the world for this, to bear witness to the truth;
and all who are on the side of truth listen to my voice.'
