A stream of fire issued and came forth from before him; a thousand thousands served him, and ten thousand times ten thousand stood before him; the court sat in judgment, and the books were opened. I saw in the night visions, and behold, with the clouds of heaven there came one like a son of man, and he came to the Ancient of Days and was presented before him. And to him was given dominion and glory and kingdom, that all peoples, nations, and languages should serve him; his dominion is an everlasting dominion, which shall not pass away, and his kingdom one that shall not be destroyed.Responsorial Psalm: Psalm 138:1-2a.2bcd-3.4-5 (R. see 1b)R/. In the presence of the angels I praise you, O Lord.I thank you, Lord, with all my heart;you have heard the words of my mouth.In the presence of the angels I praise you.I bow down toward your holy temple.I give thanks to your namefor your merciful love and your faithfulness.You have exalted your name and your promise over all.On the day I called, you answered me; you increased the strength of my soul.All earth’s kings shall thank you, O Lord,when they hear the words of your mouth.They shall sing of the ways of the Lord,“How great is the glory of the Lord!”R/. In the presence of the angels I praise you, O Lord.Gospel: John 1:47-51At that time: Jesus saw Nathanael coming to him, and said of him, “Behold, an Israelite indeed, in whom is no guile!” Nathanael said to him, “How do you know me?” Jesus answered him, “Before Philip called you when you were under the fig tree, I saw you.” Nathanael answered him, “Rabbi, you are the Son of God! You are the King of Israel!” Jesus answered him, “Because I said to you, I saw you under the fig tree, do you believe? You shall see greater things than these.” And he said to him, “Truly, truly, I say to you, you will see heaven opened, and the angels of God ascending and descending upon the Son of man.”
