Easter Sunday

First Reading

A Reading From the Acts of the Apostles 10: 34, 37-43

10:34	然后, 彼得, opening his mouth, 说: “I have concluded in truth that God is not a respecter of persons.
10:37	You know that the Word has been made known throughout all Judea. For beginning from Galilee, after the baptism which John preached,
10:38	Jesus of Nazareth, whom God anointed with the Holy Spirit and with power, traveled around doing good and healing all those oppressed by the devil. For God was with him.
10:39	And we are witnesses of all that he did in the region of Judea and in Jerusalem, he whom they killed by hanging him on a tree.
10:40	God raised him up on the third day and permitted him to be made manifest,
10:41	not to all the people, but to the witnesses preordained by God, to those of us who ate and drank with him after he rose again from the dead.
10:42	And he instructed us to preach to the people, and to testify that he is the One who was appointed by God to be the judge of the living and of the dead.
10:43	To him all the Prophets offer testimony that through his name all who believe in him receive the remission of sins.”

二读

The Letter of St. Paul to the Colossians 3: 1-4

3:1	所以, if you have risen together with Christ, seek the things that are above, where Christ is seated at the right hand of God.
3:2	Consider the things that are above, not the things that are upon the earth.
3:3	For you have died, and so your life is hidden with Christ in God.
3:4	When Christ, your life, appears, then you also will appear with him in glory.

20:3	所以, 彼得和另一个门徒走了, 他们去了坟墓.
20:4	现在他们一起跑了, 但另一个门徒跑得更快, 领先于彼得, 所以他先到了坟墓.
