3rd Sunday of Easter

13The God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, the God of our fathers, hath glorified his Son Jesus, whom you indeed delivered up and denied before the face of Pilate, when he judged he should be released. 14But you denied the Holy One and the Just, and desired a murderer to be granted unto you. 15But the author of life you killed, whom God hath raised from the dead, of which we are witnesses.

17And now, brethren, I know that you did it through ignorance, as did also your rulers. 18But those things which God before had shewed by the mouth of all the prophets, that his Christ should suffer, he hath so fulfilled. 19Be penitent, therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out.

1My little children, these things I write to you, that you may not sin. But if any man sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the just: 2And he is the propitiation for our sins: and not for ours only, but also for those of the whole world. 3And by this we know that we have known him, if we keep his commandments. 4He who saith that he knoweth him, and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him. 5But he that keepeth his word, in him in very deed the charity of God is perfected; and by this we know that we are in him.

35And they told what things were done in the way; and how they knew him in the breaking of the bread. 36Now whilst they were speaking these things, Jesus stood in the midst of them, and saith to them: Peace be to you; it is I, fear not. 37But they being troubled and frightened, supposed that they saw a spirit. 38And he said to them: Why are you troubled, and why do thoughts arise in your hearts? 39See my hands and feet, that it is I myself; handle, and see: for a spirit hath not flesh and bones, as you see me to have. 40And when he had said this, he shewed them his hands and feet. 41But while they yet believed not, and wondered for joy, he said: Have you any thing to eat? 42And they offered him a piece of a broiled fish, and a honeycomb. 43And when he had eaten before them, taking the remains, he gave to them. 44And he said to them: These are the words which I spoke to you, while I was yet with you, that all things must needs be fulfilled, which are written in the law of Moses, and in the prophets, and in the psalms, concerning me. 45Then he opened their understanding, that they might understand the scriptures. 46And he said to them: Thus it is written, and thus it behoved Christ to suffer, and to rise again from the dead, the third day: 47And that penance and remission of sins should be preached in his name, unto all nations, beginning at Jerusalem. 48And you are witnesses of these things.
