FIRST READING:
Acts
10:
34, 37 - 43
34
And Peter opened his mouth and said: "Truly I perceive that God
shows no partiality,
37
the word which was proclaimed throughout all Judea, beginning from
Galilee after the baptism which John preached:
38
how God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and with
power; how he went about doing good and healing all that were
oppressed by the devil, for God was with him.
39
And we are witnesses to all that he did both in the country of the
Jews and in Jerusalem. They put him to death by hanging him on a
tree;
40
but God raised him on the third day and made him manifest;
41
not to all the people but to us who were chosen by God as witnesses,
who ate and drank with him after he rose from the dead.
42
And he commanded us to preach to the people, and to testify that he
is the one ordained by God to be judge of the living and the dead.
43
To him all the prophets bear witness that every one who believes in
him receives forgiveness of sins through his name."
1 O
give thanks to the LORD, for he is good; his steadfast love endures
for ever!
2
Let Israel say, "His steadfast love endures for ever."
16
the right hand of the LORD is exalted, the right hand of the LORD
does valiantly!"
17
I shall not die, but I shall live, and recount the deeds of the LORD.
22
The stone which the builders rejected has become the head of the
corner.
23
This is the LORD's doing; it is marvelous in our eyes.
1 If then you have been raised with
Christ, seek the things that are above, where Christ is, seated at
the right hand of God.
2 Set your minds on things that are
above, not on things that are on earth.
3 For you have died, and your life is
hid with Christ in God.
4 When Christ who is our life appears,
then you also will appear with him in glory.
Or
6 Your boasting is not good. Do you not
know that a little leaven leavens the whole lump?
7 Cleanse out the old leaven that you
may be a new lump, as you really are unleavened. For Christ, our
paschal lamb, has been sacrificed.
8 Let us, therefore, celebrate the
festival, not with the old leaven, the leaven of malice and evil, but
with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth.
1 Now on the first day of the week Mary
Mag'dalene came to the tomb early, while it was still dark, and saw
that the stone had been taken away from the tomb.
2 So she ran, and went to Simon Peter
and the other disciple, the one whom Jesus loved, and said to them,
"They have taken the Lord out of the tomb, and we do not know
where they have laid him."
3 Peter then came out with the other
disciple, and they went toward the tomb.
4 They both ran, but the other disciple
outran Peter and reached the tomb first;
5 and stooping to look in, he saw the
linen cloths lying there, but he did not go in.
6 Then Simon Peter came, following him,
and went into the tomb; he saw the linen cloths lying,
7 and the napkin, which had been on his
head, not lying with the linen cloths but rolled up in a place by
itself.
8 Then the other disciple, who reached
the tomb first, also went in, and he saw and believed;
9 for as yet they did not know the
scripture, that he must rise from the dead.
