Reading 1
Stephen,
filled with grace and power,
was
working great wonders and signs among the people.
Certain
members of the so-called Synagogue of Freedmen,
Cyreneans,
and Alexandrians,
and
people from Cilicia and Asia,
came
forward and debated with Stephen,
but
they could not withstand the wisdom and the Spirit with which he spoke.
Then
they instigated some men to say,
“We
have heard him speaking blasphemous words
against
Moses and God.”
They
stirred up the people, the elders, and the scribes,
accosted
him, seized him,
and
brought him before the Sanhedrin.
They
presented false witnesses who testified,
“This
man never stops saying things against this holy place and the law.
For
we have heard him claim
that
this Jesus the Nazorean will destroy this place
and
change the customs that Moses handed down to us.”
All
those who sat in the Sanhedrin looked intently at him
and saw that his face was
like the face of an angel.

Gospel
[After
Jesus had fed the five thousand men, his disciples saw him walking on the sea.]
The
next day, the crowd that remained across the sea
saw
that there had been only one boat there,
and
that Jesus had not gone along with his disciples in the boat,
but
only his disciples had left.
Other
boats came from Tiberias
near
the place where they had eaten the bread
when
the Lord gave thanks.
When
the crowd saw that neither Jesus nor his disciples were there,
they
themselves got into boats
and
came to Capernaum looking for Jesus.
And
when they found him across the sea they said to him,
“Rabbi,
when did you get here?”
Jesus
answered them and said,
“Amen,
amen, I say to you, you are looking for me
not
because you saw signs
but
because you ate the loaves and were filled.
Do
not work for food that perishes
but
for the food that endures for eternal life,
which
the Son of Man will give you.
For
on him the Father, God, has set his seal.”
So
they said to him,
“What
can we do to accomplish the works of God?”
Jesus
answered and said to them,
“This is the work of God,
that you believe in the one he sent.”
