Third Sunday
of Easter
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.
Responsorial Psalm
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.
Reading 2
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.
Gospel
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.”
