1st Reading (Dn. 7:13–14)

A reading from the Book of Daniel

  1. As I watched in the night visions,
    I saw one like a son of man
    coming with the clouds of heaven.
    And he came to the Ancient of Days
    and was presented before him.

  2. To him was given dominion
    and glory and kingship,
    that all peoples, nations, and languages
    should serve him.
    His dominion is an everlasting dominion
    that shall not pass away,
    and his kingship is one
    that shall never be destroyed.

    To him who loves us and freed us from our sins by his blood,

  2. and made us to be a kingdom, priests serving his God and Father, to him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.

  3. Look! He is coming with the clouds;

  1. Pilate said to Jesus, ‘Are you the King of the Jews?’

  2. Jesus answered, ‘Do you ask this on your own, or did others tell you about me?’

  3. Pilate replied, ‘I am not a Jew, am I? Your own nation and the chief priests have handed you over to me. What have you done?’

  4. Jesus answered, ‘My kingdom is not from this world. If my kingdom were from this world, my followers would be fighting to keep me from being handed over to the Jews. But as it is, my kingdom is not from here.’

  5. Pilate asked him, ‘So you are a king?’ Jesus answered, ‘You say that 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.’
