St. Peter

 Gospel Reading: Luke 24:1-12

 

But on the first day of the week, at early dawn, they went to the tomb, taking the spices they had prepared.2And they found the stone rolled away from the tomb,3but, when they went in they, did not find the body of the Lord Jesus.4While they were perplexed about this, behold, two men stood by them in dazzling apparel.5And as they were frightened and bowed their faces to the ground, the men said to them, “Why do you seek the living among the dead?6He is not here, but has risen. Remember how he told you, while he was still in Galilee,7that the Son of Man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men and be crucified and on the third-day rise.”8Andthey remembered his words,9and returning from the tomb they told all these things to the eleven and to all the rest.10Now it wasMary Magdalene and Johanna and Mary the mother of James and the other women with them who told these things to the apostles,11but these words seemed to them an idle tale, and they did not believe them.12ButPeter rose and ran to the tomb; stooping and looking in, he sawthe linen cloths by themselves; and he went home marveling at what had happened.
