Reading 1
When the captain and the court officers had  brought the apostles in
and made them stand before the Sanhedrin,
the high priest questioned them,
“We gave you strict orders, did we not,
to stop teaching in that name?
Yet you have filled Jerusalem with your  teaching
and want to bring this man’s blood upon  us.”
But Peter and the apostles said in reply,
“We must obey God rather than men.
The God of our ancestors raised Jesus,
though you had him killed by hanging him on  a tree.
God exalted him at his right hand as leader  and savior
to grant Israel repentance and forgiveness  of sins.
We are witnesses of these things,
as is the Holy Spirit whom God has given to  those who obey him.”
The Sanhedrin ordered the apostles
to stop speaking in the name of Jesus, and  dismissed them.
So they left the presence of the Sanhedrin,
rejoicing that they had been found worthy
to suffer dishonor for the  sake of the name.
R.    (2a) I will praise you, Lord, for  you have rescued me.
or:
 R. Alleluia.
I will extol you, O LORD, for you drew me  clear
and did not let my enemies rejoice over me.
O LORD, you brought me up from the  netherworld;
you preserved me from among those going  down into the pit.
 R. I will praise you, Lord, for you have rescued  me.
or:
 R. Alleluia.
Sing praise to the LORD, you his faithful  ones,
and give thanks to his holy name.
For his anger lasts but a moment;
a lifetime, his good will.
At nightfall, weeping enters in,
     but  with the dawn, rejoicing.
 R. I will praise you, Lord, for you have rescued  me.
or:
 R. Alleluia.
Hear, O LORD, and have pity on me;
O LORD, be my helper.
You changed my mourning into dancing;
O LORD, my God, forever will I give you  thanks.
 R. I will praise you, Lord, for you have rescued  me.
or:
R. Alleluia.
 I, John, looked and heard the voices of  many angels
who surrounded the throne
and the living creatures and the elders.
They were countless in number, and they  cried out in a loud voice:
“Worthy is the Lamb that was slain
to receive power and riches, wisdom and  strength,
honor and glory and blessing.”
Then I heard every creature in heaven and  on earth
and under the earth and in the sea,
everything in the universe, cry out:
“To the one who sits on the throne and to  the Lamb
be blessing and honor, glory and might,
forever and ever.”
The four living creatures answered, “Amen,  “
and the elders fell down  and worshiped.
At that time, Jesus revealed himself again  to his disciples at the  Sea of Tiberias.
He revealed himself in this way.
Together were Simon Peter, Thomas called  Didymus,
Nathanael from Cana in Galilee,
Zebedee’s sons, and two others of his  disciples.
Simon Peter said to them, “I am going  fishing.”
They said to him, “We also will come with  you.”
So they went out and got into the boat,
but that night they caught nothing.
When it was already dawn, Jesus was  standing on the shore;
but the disciples did not realize that it  was Jesus.
Jesus said to them, “Children, have you  caught anything to eat?”
They answered him, “No.”
So he said to them, “Cast the net over the  right side of the boat
and you will find something.”
So they cast it, and were not able to pull  it in
because of the number of fish.
So the disciple whom Jesus loved said to  Peter, “It is the Lord.”
When Simon Peter heard that it was the  Lord,
he tucked in his garment, for he was  lightly clad,
and jumped into the sea.
The other disciples came in the boat,
for they were not far from shore, only  about a hundred yards,
dragging the net with the fish.
When they climbed out on shore,
they saw a charcoal fire with fish on it  and bread.
Jesus said to them, “Bring some of the fish  you just caught.”
So Simon Peter went over and dragged the  net ashore
full of one hundred fifty-three large fish.
Even though there were so many, the net was  not torn.
Jesus said to them, “Come, have breakfast.”
And none of the disciples dared to ask him,  “Who are you?”
because they realized it was the Lord.
Jesus came over and took the bread and gave  it to them,
and in like manner the fish.
This was now the third time Jesus was  revealed to his disciples
after being raised from the dead.
When they had finished breakfast, Jesus  said to Simon Peter,
“Simon, son of John, do you love me more  than these?”
Simon Peter answered him, “Yes, Lord, you  know that I love you.”
Jesus said to him, “Feed my lambs.”
He then said to Simon Peter a second time,
“Simon, son of John, do you love me?”
Simon Peter answered him, “Yes, Lord, you  know that I love you.”
Jesus said to him, “Tend my sheep.”
Jesus said to him the third time,
“Simon, son of John, do you love me?”
Peter was distressed that Jesus had said to  him a third time,
“Do you love me?” and he said to him,
“Lord, you know everything; you know that I  love you.”
Jesus said to him, “Feed my sheep.
Amen, amen, I say to you, when you were  younger,
you used to dress yourself and go where you  wanted;
but when you grow old, you will stretch out  your hands,
and someone else will dress you
and lead you where you do not want to go.”
He said this signifying by what kind of  death he would glorify God.
And when he had said this, he said to him,  “Follow me.”
