00:00:00.999 --> 00:00:03.700
Hello, this is Father Paul, and I'm glad we're

00:00:03.700 --> 00:00:05.740
taking this journey together to read the Bible

00:00:05.740 --> 00:00:08.820
in a year. Today's reading is from the Gospel

00:00:08.820 --> 00:00:13.939
of John, chapters 20 and 21. Chapter 20 Now the

00:00:13.939 --> 00:00:16.839
first day of the week, Mary Magdalene went to

00:00:16.839 --> 00:00:19.559
the tomb early, while it was still dark, and

00:00:19.559 --> 00:00:21.820
saw that the stone had been taken away from the

00:00:21.820 --> 00:00:24.879
tomb. Then she ran and came to Simon Peter and

00:00:24.879 --> 00:00:27.399
to the other disciple, whom Jesus loved, and

00:00:27.399 --> 00:00:30.059
said to them, They have taken away the Lord out

00:00:30.059 --> 00:00:32.799
of the tomb, and we do not know where they have

00:00:32.799 --> 00:00:35.880
laid him. Peter therefore went out another disciple

00:00:35.880 --> 00:00:38.659
and were going to the tomb. So they both ran

00:00:38.659 --> 00:00:41.119
together, and the other disciple outran Peter

00:00:41.119 --> 00:00:44.060
and came to the tomb first. And he stooping down

00:00:44.060 --> 00:00:47.020
and looking in, saw the linen cloth lying there,

00:00:47.140 --> 00:00:50.600
yet did not go in. Then Simon Peter came following

00:00:50.600 --> 00:00:53.670
him and went into the tomb. And he saw the linen

00:00:53.670 --> 00:00:55.990
cloth lying there, and the handkerchief that

00:00:55.990 --> 00:00:58.729
had been around his head, not lying with the

00:00:58.729 --> 00:01:01.710
linen cloth, but folded together in a place by

00:01:01.710 --> 00:01:04.390
itself. Then the other disciple who came to the

00:01:04.390 --> 00:01:07.549
tomb first went in also, and he saw and believed.

00:01:07.810 --> 00:01:11.450
For as yet they did not know the scripture, that

00:01:11.450 --> 00:01:14.209
he must rise again from the dead. Then the disciples

00:01:14.209 --> 00:01:17.620
went away again to their own homes. But Mary

00:01:17.620 --> 00:01:20.359
stood outside by the tomb weeping, and as she

00:01:20.359 --> 00:01:22.599
wept, she stooped down and looked into the tomb,

00:01:22.700 --> 00:01:25.760
and she saw two angels in white sitting, one

00:01:25.760 --> 00:01:27.959
at the head and the other at the feet, where

00:01:27.959 --> 00:01:30.420
the body of Jesus had lain. Then they said to

00:01:30.420 --> 00:01:33.299
her, Woman, why are you weeping? She said to

00:01:33.299 --> 00:01:35.739
them, Because they have taken away my Lord, and

00:01:35.739 --> 00:01:38.739
I do not know where they have laid him. Now when

00:01:38.739 --> 00:01:40.939
she had said this, she turned around and saw

00:01:40.939 --> 00:01:43.859
Jesus standing there, and did not know that it

00:01:43.859 --> 00:01:47.069
was Jesus. Jesus said to her, Woman, why are

00:01:47.069 --> 00:01:50.170
you weeping? Whom are you seeking? She, supposing

00:01:50.170 --> 00:01:52.870
him to be the gardener, said to him, Sir, if

00:01:52.870 --> 00:01:55.250
you have carried him away, tell me where you

00:01:55.250 --> 00:01:58.189
have laid him, and I will take him away. Jesus

00:01:58.189 --> 00:02:01.250
said to her, Mary. She turned and said to him,

00:02:01.390 --> 00:02:04.750
Rabbuni, which is to say, Teacher. Jesus said

00:02:04.750 --> 00:02:07.310
to her, Do not cling to me, for I have not yet

00:02:07.310 --> 00:02:09.889
ascended to my Father. But go to my brethren

00:02:09.889 --> 00:02:12.490
and say to them, I am ascending to my Father

00:02:12.490 --> 00:02:14.789
and your Father. and to my God and your God.

00:02:15.289 --> 00:02:17.990
Mary Magdalene came and told the disciples that

00:02:17.990 --> 00:02:20.409
she had seen the Lord and that he had spoken

00:02:20.409 --> 00:02:23.770
these things to her. Then the same day at evening,

00:02:23.969 --> 00:02:26.509
being the first day of the week, when the doors

00:02:26.509 --> 00:02:28.710
were shut where the disciples were assembled

00:02:28.710 --> 00:02:31.949
for fear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood in

00:02:31.949 --> 00:02:34.270
the midst and said to them, Peace be with you.

00:02:34.729 --> 00:02:37.370
When he had said this, he showed them his hands

00:02:37.370 --> 00:02:40.729
and his side. Then the disciples were glad when

00:02:40.729 --> 00:03:00.719
they saw the Lord. Now Thomas, called the twin,

00:03:00.879 --> 00:03:03.120
one of the twelve, was not with them when Jesus

00:03:03.120 --> 00:03:06.080
came. The other disciples therefore said to him,

00:03:06.139 --> 00:03:08.849
We have seen the Lord. So he said to them, Unless

00:03:08.849 --> 00:03:12.430
I see in his hands the print of the nails, and

00:03:12.430 --> 00:03:15.250
put my finger into the print of the nails, and

00:03:15.250 --> 00:03:18.169
put my hand into his side, I will not believe.

00:03:18.469 --> 00:03:21.349
And after eight days his disciples were again

00:03:21.349 --> 00:03:24.750
inside, and Thomas with them. Jesus came, the

00:03:24.750 --> 00:03:27.629
doors being shut, and stood in their midst, and

00:03:27.629 --> 00:03:30.990
said, Peace to you. Then he said to Thomas, Reach

00:03:30.990 --> 00:03:33.750
your finger here and look at my hands, and reach

00:03:33.750 --> 00:03:36.979
your hand here and put it into my side. Do not

00:03:36.979 --> 00:03:40.180
be unbelieving, but believing. And Thomas answered

00:03:40.180 --> 00:03:43.819
and said to him, My Lord and my God. Jesus said

00:03:43.819 --> 00:03:46.639
to him, Thomas, because you have seen me, you

00:03:46.639 --> 00:03:49.280
have believed. Blessed are those who have not

00:03:49.280 --> 00:03:52.460
seen and yet have believed. And truly, Jesus

00:03:52.460 --> 00:03:55.479
did many other signs in the presence of his disciples,

00:03:55.560 --> 00:03:58.300
which are not written in this book. But these

00:03:58.300 --> 00:04:00.740
are written that you may believe that Jesus is

00:04:00.740 --> 00:04:03.080
the Christ, the Son of God, and that believing

00:04:03.080 --> 00:04:10.270
you may have life in his name. Chapter 21 After

00:04:10.270 --> 00:04:13.370
these things, Jesus showed himself again to the

00:04:13.370 --> 00:04:16.470
disciples at the Sea of Tiberias. And in this

00:04:16.470 --> 00:04:20.009
way he showed himself, Simon Peter, Thomas called

00:04:20.009 --> 00:04:23.589
the twin, Nathaniel of Cana in Galilee, the sons

00:04:23.589 --> 00:04:26.490
of Zebedee, and two others of his disciples were

00:04:26.490 --> 00:04:29.230
together. Simon Peter said to them, I am going

00:04:29.230 --> 00:04:31.949
fishing. They said to him, We are going with

00:04:31.949 --> 00:04:35.310
you also. They went out and immediately got into

00:04:35.310 --> 00:04:37.569
the boat, and that night they caught nothing.

00:04:37.899 --> 00:04:40.740
But when the morning had now come, Jesus stood

00:04:40.740 --> 00:04:43.680
on the shore, yet the disciples did not know

00:04:43.680 --> 00:04:46.800
that it was Jesus. Then Jesus said to them, Children,

00:04:47.060 --> 00:04:50.120
have you any food? They answered him, No. And

00:04:50.120 --> 00:04:52.480
he said to them, Cast a net on the right side

00:04:52.480 --> 00:04:54.939
of the boat, and you will find some. So they

00:04:54.939 --> 00:04:57.800
cast, and now they were not able to draw it in

00:04:57.800 --> 00:05:01.079
because of the multitude of fish. Therefore that

00:05:01.079 --> 00:05:04.220
disciple whom Jesus loved said to Peter, It is

00:05:04.220 --> 00:05:07.000
the Lord. Now when Simon Peter heard that it

00:05:07.000 --> 00:05:10.319
was the Lord, he put on his outer garment, for

00:05:10.319 --> 00:05:12.680
he had removed it, and plunged into the sea.

00:05:13.000 --> 00:05:15.899
But the other disciples came in the little boat,

00:05:16.040 --> 00:05:18.399
for they were not far from land, but about two

00:05:18.399 --> 00:05:21.680
hundred cubits, dragging the net with fish. Then

00:05:21.680 --> 00:05:24.220
as soon as they had come to land, they saw a

00:05:24.220 --> 00:05:27.120
fire of coals there, and fish laid on it, and

00:05:27.120 --> 00:05:29.860
bread. Jesus said to them, Bring some of the

00:05:29.860 --> 00:05:32.519
fish, which you have just caught. Simon Peter

00:05:32.519 --> 00:05:35.269
went up and dragged the net to land, full of

00:05:35.269 --> 00:05:39.730
large fish, 153. And although there were so many,

00:05:39.870 --> 00:05:42.949
the net was not broken. Jesus said to them, Come

00:05:42.949 --> 00:05:45.170
and eat breakfast. Yet none of the disciples

00:05:45.170 --> 00:05:48.670
dared ask him, Who are you? knowing that it was

00:05:48.670 --> 00:05:51.410
the Lord. Jesus then came and took the bread

00:05:51.410 --> 00:05:54.490
and gave it to them, and likewise the fish. This

00:05:54.490 --> 00:05:57.250
is now the third time Jesus showed himself to

00:05:57.250 --> 00:05:59.930
his disciples after he was raised from the dead.

00:06:00.410 --> 00:06:03.089
So when they had eaten breakfast, Jesus said

00:06:03.089 --> 00:06:06.209
to Simon Peter, Simon, son of Una, do you love

00:06:06.209 --> 00:06:09.290
me more than these? He said to him, Yes, Lord,

00:06:09.470 --> 00:06:12.509
you know that I love you. He said to him, Feed

00:06:12.509 --> 00:06:15.550
my lambs. He said to him again a second time,

00:06:15.709 --> 00:06:19.009
Simon, son of Una, do you love me? He said to

00:06:19.009 --> 00:06:22.089
him, Yes, Lord, you know that I love you. He

00:06:22.089 --> 00:06:25.269
said to him, Tend my sheep. He said to him the

00:06:25.269 --> 00:06:28.750
third time, Simon, son of Una, do you love me?

00:06:29.149 --> 00:06:31.449
Peter was grieved because he said to him the

00:06:31.449 --> 00:06:33.759
third time, Do you love me? And he said to him,

00:06:33.839 --> 00:06:37.019
Lord, you know all things, you know that I love

00:06:37.019 --> 00:06:41.439
you. Jesus said to him, feed my sheep. Most assuredly

00:06:41.439 --> 00:06:43.939
I say to you, when you were younger, you girded

00:06:43.939 --> 00:06:46.379
yourself and walked where you wished. But when

00:06:46.379 --> 00:06:48.699
you are old, you will stretch out your hands,

00:06:48.839 --> 00:06:51.399
and another will gird you and carry you where

00:06:51.399 --> 00:06:54.420
you do not wish. This he spoke, signifying by

00:06:54.420 --> 00:06:57.399
what death he would glorify God. And when he

00:06:57.399 --> 00:07:00.600
had spoken this, he said to him, follow me. Then

00:07:00.600 --> 00:07:03.439
Peter, turning around, saw the disciple whom

00:07:03.439 --> 00:07:06.519
Jesus loved following, who also had leaned on

00:07:06.519 --> 00:07:09.279
his breast at the last supper, and said, Lord,

00:07:09.500 --> 00:07:12.620
who is the one who betrays you? Peter, seeing

00:07:12.620 --> 00:07:15.699
him, said to Jesus, But Lord, what about this

00:07:15.699 --> 00:07:19.560
man? Jesus said to him, If I will that he remain

00:07:19.560 --> 00:07:22.600
till I come, what is that to you? You follow

00:07:22.600 --> 00:07:25.360
me. Then his saying went out among the brethren

00:07:25.360 --> 00:07:28.449
that this disciple would not die. Yet Jesus did

00:07:28.449 --> 00:07:31.449
not say to him that he would not die, but if

00:07:31.449 --> 00:07:34.670
I will that he remain till I come. What is that

00:07:34.670 --> 00:07:38.470
to you? This is the disciple who testifies of

00:07:38.470 --> 00:07:41.250
these things, and wrote these things, and we

00:07:41.250 --> 00:07:44.329
know that his testimony is true. And there are

00:07:44.329 --> 00:07:46.790
also many other things that Jesus did, which

00:07:46.790 --> 00:07:49.970
if they were written one by one, I suppose that

00:07:49.970 --> 00:07:53.029
even the world itself could not contain the books

00:07:53.029 --> 00:08:01.279
that would be written. Ameen. I hope you enjoyed

00:08:01.279 --> 00:08:03.819
today's reading as much as I did and I look forward

00:08:03.819 --> 00:08:05.899
to seeing you again tomorrow to continue on our

00:08:05.899 --> 00:08:07.980
journey. God bless you and have a great day.
