Rise up and arrange your bed.” And immediately he rose up. - 35 And all who were living in Lydda and Sharon saw him, and they were converted to the Lord. - 36 Now in Joppa there was a certain disciple named Tabitha, which in translation is called Dorcas. She was filled with the good works and almsgiving that she was accomplishing. - 37 And it happened that, in those days, she became ill and died. And when they had washed her, they laid her in an upper room. - 38 Now since Lydda was close to Joppa, the disciples, upon hearing that Peter was there, sent two men to him, asking him: “Do not be slow in coming to us.” - 39 Then Peter, rising up, went with them. And when he had arrived, they led him to an upper room. And all the widows were standing around him, weeping and showing him the tunics and garments that Dorcas had made for them. - 40 And when they had all been sent outside, Peter, kneeling down, prayed. And turning to the body, he said: “Tabitha, arise.” And she opened her eyes and, upon seeing Peter, sat up again. - 41 And offering her his hand, he lifted her up. And when he had called in the saints and the widows, he presented her alive. - 42 Now this became known throughout all of Joppa. And many believed in the Lord.

The flesh does not offer anything of benefit. The words that I have spoken to you are spirit and life. - 65 But there are some among you who do not believe.” For Jesus knew from the beginning who were unbelieving and which one would betray him. - 66 And so he said, “For this reason, I said to you that no one is able to come to me, unless it has been given to him by my Father.” - 67 After this, many of his disciples went back, and they no longer walked with him. - 68 Therefore, Jesus said to the twelve, “Do you also want to go away?” - 69 Then Simon Peter answered him: “Lord, to whom would we go? You have the words of eternal life. - 70 And we have believed, and we recognize that you are the Christ, the Son of God.” Catholic Public Domain Version · in the CPDV this is John 6:61–70 Read in the CPDV: [The whole of John 6](https://blessbible.app/bible/john/6/) Computed by Bless from the US Lectionary cycle — confirm with your parish. In US parishes the readings are proclaimed from the NABRE; the text shown here is the Catholic Public Domain Version. Old Testament readings and the psalm are listed with a link to their chapter: the US Lectionary numbers some of their verses differently from the CPDV, so their text is not printed here. Psalm citations keep the Lectionary’s Hebrew numbering; the CPDV numbers the Psalms as the Vulgate does. Spotted a wrong date, color or citation?
