Reading 1
Observing
the boldness of Peter and John
and
perceiving them to be uneducated, ordinary men,
the
leaders, elders, and scribes were amazed,
and they
recognized them as the companions of Jesus.
Then
when they saw the man who had been cured standing
there with them,
they
could say nothing in reply.
So
they ordered them to leave the Sanhedrin,
and
conferred with one another, saying,
“What
are we to do with these men?
Everyone
living in Jerusalem knows that a remarkable sign
was done
through them, and we cannot deny it.
But
so that it may not be spread any further among the people,
let us
give them a stern warning
never
again to speak to anyone in this name.”
So
they called them back
and
ordered them not to speak or teach at all in the name of Jesus.
Peter
and John, however, said to them in reply,
“Whether
it is right in the sight of God
for us to
obey you rather than God, you be the judges.
It
is impossible for us not to speak about what we have seen and heard.”
After
threatening them further,
they
released them,
finding
no way to punish them,
on
account of the people who were all praising God
for what had happened.

Gospel
When
Jesus had risen, early on the first day of the week,
he
appeared first to Mary Magdalene,
out of
whom he had driven seven demons.
She
went and told his companions who were mourning and weeping.
When
they heard that he was alive
and had
been seen by her, they did not believe.
After
this he appeared in another form
to two of
them walking along on their way to the country.
They
returned and told the others;
but they
did not believe them either.
But
later, as the Eleven were at table, he appeared to them
and
rebuked them for their unbelief and hardness of heart
because
they had not believed those
who saw
him after he had been raised.
He
said to them, “Go into the whole world
and proclaim the Gospel to every creature.”
