Thursday of the Second Week of Easter
Reading 1
When
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.”
When
they heard this,
they became infuriated and wanted to put them to death.

Gospel
The
one who comes from above is above all.
The
one who is of the earth is earthly and speaks of
earthly things.
But
the one who comes from heaven is above all.
He
testifies to what he has seen and heard,
but no one
accepts his testimony.
Whoever
does accept his testimony certifies that God is trustworthy.
For
the one whom God sent speaks the words of God.
He
does not ration his gift of the Spirit.
The
Father loves the Son and has given everything over to him.
Whoever
believes in the Son has eternal life,
but
whoever disobeys the Son will not see life,
but the wrath of God remains upon him.
