Reading

Second Corinthians 5: 14- 17

5:14 Vì lòng bác ái của Đức Kitô thúc bách chúng ta, trong việc xem xét điều này: rằng nếu một người chết cho tất cả, sau đó tất cả đã chết.

5:15 Và Chúa Kitô đã chết cho tất cả, để ngay cả những người đang sống có thể bây giờ không sống cho chính họ, nhưng đối với người đã chết vì họ và đã sống lại.

5:16 Và vì thế, từ giờ trở đi, chúng ta không biết ai theo xác thịt. Và mặc dù chúng ta đã biết Chúa Kitô theo xác thịt, nhưng bây giờ chúng ta không còn biết anh ấy theo cách này nữa.

5:17 Vì vậy, nếu bất cứ ai là một sinh vật mới trong Chúa Kitô, những gì cũ đã qua. Hãy chứng kiến, tất cả mọi thứ đã được làm mới.

Gospel

John 20: 1-2, 11-18

20:1 Then on the first Sabbath, Mary Magdalene went to the tomb early, while it was still dark, and she saw that the stone had been rolled away from the tomb.

20:2 Vì thế, she ran and went to Simon Peter, and to the other disciple, whom Jesus loved, and she said to them, “They have taken the Lord away from the tomb, and we do not know where they have laid him.”

20:11 But Mary was standing outside the tomb, weeping. Sau đó, while she was weeping, she bowed down and gazed into the tomb.

20:12 And she saw two Angels in white, sitting where the body of Jesus had been placed, one at the head, and one at the feet.

20:13 They say to her, “Woman, why are you weeping?” She said to them, “Because they have taken away my Lord, and I do not know where they have placed him.”

20:14 When she had said this, she turned around and saw Jesus standing there, but she did not know that it was Jesus.

20:15 Jesus said to her: “Woman, why are you weeping? Who are you seeking?” Considering that it was the gardener, she said to him, “Sir, if you have moved him, tell me where you have placed him, and I will take him away.”

20:16 Jesus said to her, “Mary!” And turning, she said to him, “Rabboni!” (which means, Teacher).

20:17 Jesus said to her: “Do not touch me. For I have not yet ascended to my Father. But go to my brothers and tell them: ‘I am ascending to my Father and to your Father, to my God and to your God.’ ”

20:18 Mary Magdalene went, announcing to the disciples, “I have seen the Lord, and these are the things that he said to me.”
