FIRST READING
Acts of the Apostles 5:27-32, 11-12, 13(45C)
The high priest interrogated the apostles and ordered
them not to speak again about Jesus. The apostles left
filled with joy for having been found worthy of illtreatment for Christ.
SECOND READING
Revelation 5:11-14
The author of Revelation had a vision and heard the
voices of countless angels who surrounded the
heavenly throne. They cried, “Worthy is the Lamb
that was slain…to the Lamb be blessing and honor,
glory and might, forever and ever.”
GOSPEL READING
John 21:1-19 or 21:1-14
Peter and the disciples fished all night but caught
nothing. Jesus appeared to them, telling them to cast
their nets again, and immediately the nets were filled
with fish. After they ate, Jesus told Simon Peter,
“Feed my lambs….Tend my sheep.”
