Reading 1, Acts 10:34, 37-43

³⁴ Then Peter addressed them, 'I now really understand', he said, 'that God has no favourites,

³⁷ You know what happened all over Judaea, how Jesus of Nazareth began in Galilee, after John had been preaching baptism.

³⁸ God had anointed him with the Holy Spirit and with power, and because God was with him, Jesus went about doing good and curing all who had fallen into the power of the devil.

³⁹ Now we are witnesses to everything he did throughout the countryside of Judaea and in Jerusalem itself: and they killed him by hanging him on a tree,

⁴⁰ yet on the third day God raised him to life and allowed him to be seen,

⁴¹ not by the whole people but only by certain witnesses that God had chosen beforehand. Now we are those witnesses -- we have eaten and drunk with him after his resurrection from the dead-

⁴² and he has ordered us to proclaim this to his people and to bear witness that God has appointed him to judge everyone, alive or dead.

⁴³ It is to him that all the prophets bear this witness: that all who believe in Jesus will have their sins forgiven through his name.'

Responsorial Psalm, Psalms 118:1-2, 16-17, 22-23

¹ Alleluia! Give thanks to Yahweh for he is good, for his faithful love endures for ever.

² Let the House of Israel say, 'His faithful love endures for ever.'

¹⁶ Yahweh's right hand is victorious, Yahweh's right hand is triumphant!'

¹⁷ I shall not die, I shall live to recount the great deeds of Yahweh.

²² The stone which the builders rejected has become the cornerstone;

²³ This is Yahweh's doing, and we marvel at it.

Gospel, John 20:1-9

¹ It was very early on the first day of the week and still dark, when Mary of Magdala came to the tomb. She saw that the stone had been moved away from the tomb

² and came running to Simon Peter and the other disciple, the one whom Jesus loved. 'They have taken the Lord out of the tomb,' she said, 'and we don't know where they have put him.'

³ So Peter set out with the other disciple to go to the tomb.

⁴ They ran together, but the other disciple, running faster than Peter, reached the tomb first;

⁵ he bent down and saw the linen cloths lying on the ground, but did not go in.

⁶ Simon Peter, following him, also came up, went into the tomb, saw the linen cloths lying on the ground

⁷ and also the cloth that had been over his head; this was not with the linen cloths but rolled up in a place by itself.

⁸ Then the other disciple who had reached the tomb first also went in; he saw and he believed.

⁹ Till this moment they had still not understood the scripture, that he must rise from the dead.

Reading 2, First Corinthians 5:6-8

⁶ Your self-satisfaction is ill founded. Do you not realise that only a little yeast leavens the whole batch of dough?

⁷ Throw out the old yeast so that you can be the fresh dough, unleavened as you are. For our Passover has been sacrificed, that is, Christ;

⁸ let us keep the feast, then, with none of the old yeast and no leavening of evil and wickedness, but only the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth.

The New Jerusalem Bible (NJB) is a Catholic translation of the Bible published in 1985. The New Jerusalem Bible (NJB) has become the most widely used Roman Catholic Bible outside of the United States. It has the imprimatur of Cardinal George Basil Hume.

Like its predecessor, the Jerusalem Bible, the New Jerusalem Bible (NJB) version is translated "directly from the Hebrew, Greek or Aramaic." The 1973 French translation, the Bible de Jerusalem, is followed only "where the text admits to more than one interpretation." Introductions and notes, with some modifications, are taken from the Bible de Jerusalem.
