First Reading - Acts 5:27-32.40-41
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 - Ps 30
R –I will praise you, Lord, for
you have rescued me!
* 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.
* 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.
* 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.
Second Reading - Rv 5:11-14
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 - Jn 21:1-19
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, “Young
men, 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
fi sh. 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 fi sh.
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 fi sh. 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, Jesus said to
him, “Follow me.”
