John Chapter. :- 21

John 21:1
.  After these things, Jesus revealed himself again to the disciples at the sea of Tiberias. He revealed himself this way.

John 21:2
.  Simon Peter, Thomas called Didymus, Nathanael of Cana in Galilee, and the sons of Zebedee, and two others of his disciples were together.

John 21:3
.  Simon Peter said to them, "I'm going fishing." They told him, "We are also coming with you." They immediately went out, and entered into the boat. That night, they caught nothing.

John 21:4
.  But when day had already come, Jesus stood on the beach, yet the disciples didn't know that it was Jesus.

John 21:5
.  Jesus therefore said to them, "Children, have you anything to eat?" They answered him, "No."

John 21:6
.  He said to them, "Cast the net on the right side of the boat, and you will find some." They cast it therefore, and now they weren't able to draw it in for the multitude of fish.

John 21:7
.  That disciple therefore whom Jesus loved said to Peter, "It's the Lord!" So when Simon Peter heard that it was the Lord, he wrapped his coat around him (for he was naked), and threw himself into the sea.

John 21:8
.  But the other disciples came in the little boat (for they were not far from the land, but about two hundred cubits away), dragging the net full of fish.

John 21:9
.  So when they got out on the land, they saw a fire of coals there, and fish laid on it, and bread.

John 21:10
.  Jesus said to them, "Bring some of the fish which you have just caught."

John 21:11
.  Simon Peter went up, and drew the net to land, full of great fish, one hundred fifty-three; and even though there were so many, the net wasn't torn.

John 21:12
.  Jesus said to them, "Come and eat breakfast." None of the disciples dared inquire of him, "Who are you?" knowing that it was the Lord.

John 21:13
.  Then Jesus came and took the bread, gave it to them, and the fish likewise.

John 21:14
.  This is now the third time that Jesus was revealed to his disciples, after he had risen from the dead.

John 21:15
.  So when they had eaten their breakfast, Jesus said to Simon Peter, "Simon, son of Jonah, do you love me more than these?" He said to him, "Yes, Lord; you know that I have affection for you." He said to him, "Feed my lambs."

John 21:16
.  He said to him again a second time, "Simon, son of Jonah, do you love me?" He said to him, "Yes, Lord; you know that I have affection for you." He said to him, "Tend my sheep."

John 21:17
.  He said to him the third time, "Simon, son of Jonah, do you have affection for me?" Peter was grieved because he asked him the third time, "Do you have affection for me?" He said to him, "Lord, you know everything. You know that I have affection for you." Jesus said to him, "Feed my sheep.

John 21:18
.  Most assuredly I tell you, when you were young, you dressed yourself, and walked where you wanted to. But when you are old, you will stretch out your hands, and another will dress you, and carry you where you don't want to go."

John 21:19
.  Now he said this, signifying by what kind of death he would glorify God. When he had said this, he said to him, "Follow me."

John 21:20
.  Then Peter, turning around, saw a disciple following. This was the disciple whom Jesus sincerely loved, the one who had also leaned on Jesus' breast at the supper and asked, "Lord, who is going to betray You?"

John 21:21
.  Peter seeing him, said to Jesus, "Lord, what about this man?"

John 21:22
.  Jesus said to him, "If I desire that he stay until I come, what is that to you? You follow me."

John 21:23
.  This saying therefore went out among the brothers, that this disciple wouldn't die. Yet Jesus didn't say to him that he wouldn't die, but, "If I desire that he stay until I come, what is that to you?"

John 21:24
.  This is the disciple who testifies about these things, and wrote these things. We know that his witness is true.

John 21:25
.  There are also many other things which Jesus did, which if they would all be written, I suppose that even the world itself wouldn't have room for the books that would be written.

Luke Chapter :- 24

Luke 24:1
.  But on the first day of the week, at early dawn, they and some others came to the tomb, bringing the spices which they had prepared.

Luke 24:2
.  They found the stone rolled away from the tomb.

Luke 24:3
.  They entered in, and didn't find the Lord Jesus' body.

Luke 24:4
.  It happened, while they were greatly perplexed about this, behold, two men stood by them in dazzling clothing.

Luke 24:5
.  Becoming terrified, they bowed their faces down to the earth. They said to them, "Why do you seek the living among the dead?

Luke 24:6
.  He isn't here, but is risen. Remember what he told you when he was still in Galilee,

Luke 24:7
.  saying that the Son of Man must be delivered up into the hands of sinful men, and be crucified, and the third day rise again?"

Luke 24:8
.  They remembered his words,

Luke 24:9
.  returned from the tomb, and told all these things to the eleven, and to all the rest.

Luke 24:10
.  Now they were Mary Magdalene, Joanna, and Mary the mother of James. The other women with them told these things to the apostles.

Luke 24:11
.  These words seemed to them to be nonsense, and they didn't believe them.

Luke 24:12
.  But Peter got up and ran to the tomb. Stooping and looking in, he saw the strips of linen lying by themselves, and he departed to his home, wondering what had happened.

Luke 24:13
.  Behold, two of them were going that very day to a village named Emmaus, which was sixty stadia from Jerusalem.

Luke 24:14
.  They talked with each other about all of these things which had happened.

Luke 24:15
.  It happened, while they talked and questioned together, that Jesus himself came near, and went with them.

Luke 24:16
.  But their eyes were kept from recognizing him.

Luke 24:17
.  He said to them, "What are you talking about as you walk, and are sad?"

Luke 24:18
.  One of them, named Cleopas, answered him, "Are you the only stranger in Jerusalem who doesn't know the things which have happened there in these days?"

Luke 24:19
.  He said to them, "What things?" They said to him, "The things concerning Jesus, the Nazarene, who was a prophet mighty in deed and word before God and all the people;

Luke 24:20
.  and how the chief priests and our rulers delivered him up to be condemned to death, and crucified him.

Luke 24:21
.  But we were hoping that it was he who would redeem Israel. Yes, and besides all this, it is now the third day since these things happened.

Luke 24:22
.  Also, certain women of our company amazed us, having arrived early at the tomb;

Luke 24:23
.  and when they didn't find his body, they came saying that they had also seen a vision of angels, who said that he was alive.

Luke 24:24
.  Some of us went to the tomb, and found it just like the women had said, but they didn't see him."

Luke 24:25
.  He said to them, "Foolish men, and slow of heart to believe in all that the prophets have spoken!

Luke 24:26
.  Didn't the Christ have to suffer these things and to enter into his glory?"

Luke 24:27
.  Beginning from Moses and from all the prophets, he explained to them in all the Scriptures the things concerning himself.

Luke 24:28
.  They drew near to the village, where they were going, and he acted like he would go further.

Luke 24:29
.  They urged him, saying, "Stay with us, for it is almost evening, and the day is almost over." He went in to stay with them.

Luke 24:30
.  It happened, that when he had sat down at the table with them, he took the bread and gave thanks. Breaking it, he gave to them.

Luke 24:31
.  Their eyes were opened, and they recognized him, and he vanished out of their sight.

Luke 24:32
.  They said one to another, "Weren't our hearts burning within us, while he spoke to us along the way, and while he opened the Scriptures to us?"

Luke 24:33
.  They rose up that very hour, returned to Jerusalem, and found the eleven gathered together, and those who were with them,

Luke 24:34
.  saying, "The Lord is risen indeed, and has appeared to Simon!"

Luke 24:35
.  They related the things that happened along the way, and how he was recognized by them in the breaking of the bread.

Luke 24:36
.  As they said these things, Jesus himself stood among them, and said to them, "Peace be to you."

Luke 24:37
.  But they were terrified and filled with fear, and supposed that they had seen a spirit.

Luke 24:38
.  He said to them, "Why are you troubled? Why do doubts arise in your hearts?

Luke 24:39
.  See my hands and my feet, that it is truly me. Touch me and see, for a spirit doesn't have flesh and bones, as you see that I have."

Luke 24:40
.  When he had said this, he showed them his hands and his feet.

Luke 24:41
.  While they still didn't believe for joy, and wondered, he said to them, "Do you have anything here to eat?"

Luke 24:42
.  They gave him a piece of a broiled fish and some honeycomb.

Luke 24:43
.  He took them, and ate in front of them.

Luke 24:44
.  He said to them, "This is what I told you, while I was still with you, that all things which are written in the law of Moses, the prophets, and the psalms, concerning me must be fulfilled."

Luke 24:45
.  Then he opened their minds, that they might understand the Scriptures.

Luke 24:46
.  He said to them, "Thus it is written, and thus it was necessary for the Christ to suffer and to rise from the dead the third day,

Luke 24:47
.  and that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in his name to all the nations, beginning at Jerusalem.

Luke 24:48
.  You are witnesses of these things.

Luke 24:49
.  Behold, I send forth the promise of my Father on you. But wait in the city of Jerusalem until you are clothed with power from on high."

Luke 24:50
.  He led them out as far as Bethany, and he lifted up his hands, and blessed them.

Luke 24:51
.  It happened, while he blessed them, that he withdrew from them, and was carried up into heaven.

Luke 24:52
.  They worshiped him, and returned to Jerusalem with great joy,

Luke 24:53
.  and were continually in the temple, praising and blessing God. Amen.

Mark 16:1

Mark 16:2
.  Very early on the first day of the week, they came to the tomb when the sun had risen.

Mark 16:3

Mark 16:4
.  for it was very big. Looking up, they saw that the stone was rolled back.

Mark 16:5
.  Entering into the tomb, they saw a young man sitting on the right side, dressed in a white robe, and they were amazed.

Mark 16:6

Mark 16:7
.  But go, tell his disciples and Peter, 'He goes before you into Galilee. There you will see him, as he said to you.'"

Mark 16:10

Mark 16:13
.  They went away and told it to the rest. They didn't believe them, either.

Mark 16:14
.  Afterward he was revealed to the eleven themselves as they sat at the table, and he rebuked them for their unbelief and hardness of heart, because they didn't believe those who had seen him after he had risen.

Mark 16:15
.  He said to them, "Go into all the world, and preach the gospel to the whole creation.

Mark 16:16
.  He who believes and is baptized will be saved; but he who disbelieves will be condemned.

Mark 16:17
.  These signs will accompany those who believe: in my name they will cast out demons; they will speak with new languages;

Mark 16:18
.  they will take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it will in no way hurt them; they will lay hands on the sick, and they will recover."

Mark 16:19
.  So then the Lord Jesus, after he had spoken to them, was received up into heaven, and sat down at the right hand of God.

Mark 16:20
.  They went out, and preached everywhere, the Lord working with them, and confirming the word by the signs that followed. Amen.

Friday of the Thirtieth Week in Ordinary Time

Reading 1 Rom 9:1-5

Brothers and sisters:
I speak the truth in Christ, I do not lie;
my conscience joins with the Holy Spirit in bearing me witness
that I have great sorrow and constant anguish in my heart.
For I could wish that I myself were accursed and cut off from Christ
for the sake of my own people,
my kindred according to the flesh.
They are children of Israel;
theirs the adoption, the glory, the covenants,
the giving of the law, the worship, and the promises;
theirs the patriarchs, and from them,
according to the flesh, is the Christ,
who is over all, God blessed forever. Amen.

Responsorial Psalm Ps 147:12-13, 14-15, 19-20

R. Praise the Lord, Jerusalem.
Glorify the LORD, O Jerusalem;
praise your God, O Zion.
For he has strengthened the bars of your gates;
he has blessed your children within you.
R. Praise the Lord, Jerusalem.
He has granted peace in your borders;
with the best of wheat he fills you.
He sends forth his command to the earth;
swiftly runs his word!
R. Praise the Lord, Jerusalem.
He has proclaimed his word to Jacob,
his statutes and his ordinances to Israel.
He has not done thus for any other nation;
his ordinances he has not made known to them. Alleluia.
R. Praise the Lord, Jerusalem.

Alleluia Jn 10:27

R. Alleluia, alleluia.
My sheep hear my voice, says the Lord;
I know them, and they follow me.
R. Alleluia, alleluia.

Gospel Lk 14:1-6

On a sabbath Jesus went to dine
at the home of one of the leading Pharisees,
and the people there were observing him carefully.
In front of him there was a man suffering from dropsy.
Jesus spoke to the scholars of the law and Pharisees in reply, asking,
"Is it lawful to cure on the sabbath or not?"
But they kept silent; so he took the man and,
after he had healed him, dismissed him.
Then he said to them
"Who among you, if your son or ox falls into a cistern,
would not immediately pull him out on the sabbath day?"
But they were unable to answer his question.

Reading 1 Wis 3:1-9

The souls of the just are in the hand of God,
and no torment shall touch them.
They seemed, in the view of the foolish, to be dead;
and their passing away was thought an affliction
and their going forth from us, utter destruction.
But they are in peace.
For if before men, indeed, they be punished,
yet is their hope full of immortality;
chastised a little, they shall be greatly blessed,
because God tried them
and found them worthy of himself.
As gold in the furnace, he proved them,
and as sacrificial offerings he took them to himself.
In the time of their visitation they shall shine,
and shall dart about as sparks through stubble;
they shall judge nations and rule over peoples,
and the LORD shall be their King forever.
Those who trust in him shall understand truth,
and the faithful shall abide with him in love:
because grace and mercy are with his holy ones,
and his care is with his elect.

Responsorial Psalm Ps 23:1-3a, 3b-4, 5, 6

R. (1) The Lord is my shepherd; there is nothing I shall want.
or:
R. Though I walk in the valley of darkness, I fear no evil, for you are with me.
The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want.
In verdant pastures he gives me repose;
beside restful waters he leads me;
he refreshes my soul.
R. The Lord is my shepherd; there is nothing I shall want.
or:
R. Though I walk in the valley of darkness, I fear no evil, for you are with me.
He guides me in right paths
for his name's sake.
Even though I walk in the dark valley
I fear no evil; for you are at my side
with your rod and your staff
that give me courage.
R. The Lord is my shepherd; there is nothing I shall want.
or:
R. Though I walk in the valley of darkness, I fear no evil, for you are with me.
You spread the table before me
in the sight of my foes;
You anoint my head with oil;
my cup overflows.
R. The Lord is my shepherd; there is nothing I shall want.
or:
R. Though I walk in the valley of darkness, I fear no evil, for you are with me.
Only goodness and kindness follow me
all the days of my life;
and I shall dwell in the house of the LORD
for years to come.
R. The Lord is my shepherd; there is nothing I shall want.
or:
R. Though I walk in the valley of darkness, I fear no evil, for you are with me.

Reading 2 Rom 5:5-11

Brothers and sisters:
Hope does not disappoint,
because the love of God has been poured out into our hearts
through the Holy Spirit that has been given to us.
For Christ, while we were still helpless,
died at the appointed time for the ungodly.
Indeed, only with difficulty does one die for a just person,
though perhaps for a good person
one might even find courage to die.
But God proves his love for us
in that while we were still sinners Christ died for us.
How much more then, since we are now justified by his Blood,
will we be saved through him from the wrath.
Indeed, if, while we were enemies,
we were reconciled to God through the death of his Son,
how much more, once reconciled,
will we be saved by his life.
Not only that,
but we also boast of God through our Lord Jesus Christ,
through whom we have now received reconciliation.

Or Rom 6:3-9

Brothers and sisters:
Are you unaware that we who were baptized into Christ Jesus
were baptized into his death?
We were indeed buried with him through baptism into death,
so that, just as Christ was raised from the dead
by the glory of the Father,
we too might live in newness of life.

For if we have grown into union with him through a death like his,
we shall also be united with him in the resurrection.
We know that our old self was crucified with him,
so that our sinful body might be done away with,
that we might no longer be in slavery to sin.
For a dead person has been absolved from sin.
If, then, we have died with Christ,
we believe that we shall also live with him.
We know that Christ, raised from the dead, dies no more;
death no longer has power over him.

Alleluia Mt 25:34

R. Alleluia, alleluia.
Come, you who are blessed by my Father;
inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world.
R. Alleluia, alleluia.

Gospel Jn 6:37-40

Jesus said to the crowds:
"Everything that the Father gives me will come to me,
and I will not reject anyone who comes to me,
because I came down from heaven not to do my own will
but the will of the one who sent me.
And this is the will of the one who sent me,
that I should not lose anything of what he gave me,
but that I should raise it on the last day.
For this is the will of my Father,
that everyone who sees the Son and believes in him
may have eternal life,
and I shall raise him on the last day."

The Commemoration of All the Faithful Departed
(All Souls)

Only goodness and kindness follow me
all the days of my life;
and I shall dwell in the house of the LORD
for years to come.
R. The Lord is my shepherd; there is nothing I shall want.
or:
R. Though I walk in the valley of darkness, I fear no evil, for you are with me.

Reading 2 Rom 5:5-11

Brothers and sisters:
Hope does not disappoint,
because the love of God has been poured out into our hearts
through the Holy Spirit that has been given to us.
For Christ, while we were still helpless,
died at the appointed time for the ungodly.
Indeed, only with difficulty does one die for a just person,
though perhaps for a good person
one might even find courage to die.
But God proves his love for us
in that while we were still sinners Christ died for us.
How much more then, since we are now justified by his Blood,
will we be saved through him from the wrath.
Indeed, if, while we were enemies,
we were reconciled to God through the death of his Son,
how much more, once reconciled,
will we be saved by his life.
Not only that,
but we also boast of God through our Lord Jesus Christ,
through whom we have now received reconciliation.

Or Rom 6:3-9

Brothers and sisters:
Are you unaware that we who were baptized into Christ Jesus
were baptized into his death?
We were indeed buried with him through baptism into death,
so that, just as Christ was raised from the dead
by the glory of the Father,
we too might live in newness of life.

For if we have grown into union with him through a death like his,
we shall also be united with him in the resurrection.
We know that our old self was crucified with him,
so that our sinful body might be done away with,
that we might no longer be in slavery to sin.
For a dead person has been absolved from sin.
If, then, we have died with Christ,
we believe that we shall also live with him.
We know that Christ, raised from the dead, dies no more;
death no longer has power over him.

Alleluia Mt 25:34

R. Alleluia, alleluia.
Come, you who are blessed by my Father;
inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world.
R. Alleluia, alleluia.

Gospel Jn 6:37-40

Jesus said to the crowds:
"Everything that the Father gives me will come to me,
and I will not reject anyone who comes to me,
because I came down from heaven not to do my own will
but the will of the one who sent me.
And this is the will of the one who sent me,
that I should not lose anything of what he gave me,
but that I should raise it on the last day.
For this is the will of my Father,
that everyone who sees the Son and believes in him
may have eternal life,
and I shall raise him on the last day."

Reading 1 Rv 7:2-4, 9-14

I, John, saw another angel come up from the East,
holding the seal of the living God.
He cried out in a loud voice to the four angels
who were given power to damage the land and the sea,
"Do not damage the land or the sea or the trees
until we put the seal on the foreheads of the servants of our God."
I heard the number of those who had been marked with the seal,
one hundred and forty-four thousand marked
from every tribe of the children of Israel.

After this I had a vision of a great multitude,
which no one could count,
from every nation, race, people, and tongue.
They stood before the throne and before the Lamb,
wearing white robes and holding palm branches in their hands.
They cried out in a loud voice:

"Salvation comes from our God, who is seated on the throne,
and from the Lamb."

All the angels stood around the throne
and around the elders and the four living creatures.
They prostrated themselves before the throne,
worshiped God, and exclaimed:

"Amen. Blessing and glory, wisdom and thanksgiving,
honor, power, and might
be to our God forever and ever. Amen."

Then one of the elders spoke up and said to me,
"Who are these wearing white robes, and where did they come from?"
I said to him, "My lord, you are the one who knows."
He said to me,
"These are the ones who have survived the time of great distress;
they have washed their robes
and made them white in the Blood of the Lamb."

Responsorial Psalm Ps 24:1bc-2, 3-4ab, 5-6

R. (see 6) Lord, this is the people that longs to see your face.
The LORD's are the earth and its fullness;
the world and those who dwell in it.
For he founded it upon the seas
and established it upon the rivers.
R. Lord, this is the people that longs to see your face.
Who can ascend the mountain of the LORD?
or who may stand in his holy place?
One whose hands are sinless, whose heart is clean,
who desires not what is vain.
R. Lord, this is the people that longs to see your face.
He shall receive a blessing from the LORD,
a reward from God his savior.
Such is the race that seeks him,
that seeks the face of the God of Jacob.
R. Lord, this is the people that longs to see your face.

Reading 2 1 Jn 3:1-3

Beloved:
See what love the Father has bestowed on us
that we may be called the children of God.
Yet so we are.
The reason the world does not know us
is that it did not know him.
Beloved, we are God's children now;
what we shall be has not yet been revealed.
We do know that when it is revealed we shall be like him,
for we shall see him as he is.
Everyone who has this hope based on him makes himself pure,
as he is pure.

Alleluia Mt 11:28

R. Alleluia, alleluia.
Come to me, all you who labor and are burdened,
And I will give you rest, says the Lord.
R. Alleluia, alleluia.

Gospel Mt 5:1-12a

When Jesus saw the crowds, he went up the mountain,
and after he had sat down, his disciples came to him.
He began to teach them, saying:

"Blessed are the poor in spirit,
for theirs is the Kingdom of heaven.
Blessed are they who mourn,
for they will be comforted.
Blessed are the meek,
for they will inherit the land.
Blessed are they who hunger and thirst for righteousness,
for they will be satisfied.
Blessed are the merciful,
for they will be shown mercy.
Blessed are the clean of heart,
for they will see God.
Blessed are the peacemakers,
for they will be called children of God.
Blessed are they who are persecuted for the sake of righteousness,
for theirs is the Kingdom of heaven.
Blessed are you when they insult you and persecute you
and utter every kind of evil against you falsely because of me.
Rejoice and be glad,
for your reward will be great in heaven."
