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.
