First Reading

1 John 3:7-10

7Little children, let no one deceive you. He who does right is righteous, as he is righteous.

8He who commits sin is of the devil; for the devil has sinned from the beginning. The reason the Son of God appeared was to destroy the works of the devil.

9No one born of God commits sin; for God’s nature abides in him, and he cannot sin because he is born of God.

10By this it may be seen who are the children of God, and who are the children of the devil: whoever does not do right is not of God, nor he who does not love his brother.

Responsorial Psalm

Psalms 98:1, 7-9

1O sing to the LORD a new song, for he has done marvelous things! His right hand and his holy arm have gotten him victory.

7Let the sea roar, and all that fills it; the world and those who dwell in it!

8Let the floods clap their hands; let the hills sing for joy together

9before the LORD, for he comes to judge the earth. He will judge the world with righteousness, and the peoples with equity.

Gospel

John 1:35-42

35The next day again John was standing with two of his disciples;

36and he looked at Jesus as he walked, and said, “Behold, the Lamb of God!”

37The two disciples heard him say this, and they followed Jesus.

38Jesus turned, and saw them following, and said to them, “What do you seek?” And they said to him, “Rabbi” (which means Teacher), “where are you staying?”

39He said to them, “Come and see.” They came and saw where he was staying; and they stayed with him that day, for it was about the tenth hour.

40One of the two who heard John speak, and followed him, was Andrew, Simon Peter’s brother.

41He first found his brother Simon, and said to him, “We have found the Messiah” (which means Christ).

42He brought him to Jesus. Jesus looked at him, and said, “So you are Simon the son of John? You shall be called Cephas” (which means Peter).
