Catholic Sunday Readings for April 30 2023, Fourth Sunday of Easter, Year A
1st Reading – Acts 2:14A, 36-41
14A But Peter standing up with the eleven, lifted up his voice, and spoke to them:
36 Therefore let all the house of Israel know most certainly, that God has made both Lord and Christ, this same Jesus, whom you have crucified.
37 Now when they had heard these things, they were cut to the heart, and said to Peter, and to the rest of the apostles: What shall we do, men and brethren?
38 But Peter said to them: Do penance, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ, for the remission of your sins: and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.
39 For the promise is to you, and to your children, and to all that are far off, whomsoever the Lord our God shall call.
40 And with very many other words did he testify and exhort them, saying: Save yourselves from this perverse generation.
41 They therefore that received his word, were baptized; and there were added in that day about three thousand souls.

I fear no evil; for you are at my side.
With your rod and your staff

5 You spread the table before me
in the sight of my foes;
you anoint my head with oil;
my cup overflows.

6 Only goodness and kindness follow me
all the days of my life;

for years to come.

2nd Reading – 1 Peter 2:20B-25
20B Beloved: If you are patient when you suffer for doing what is good, this is a grace before God.
21 For unto this are you called: because Christ also suffered for us, leaving you an example that you should follow his steps.
22 Who did no sin, neither was guile found in his mouth.
23 Who, when he was reviled, did not revile: when he suffered, he threatened not: but delivered himself to him that judged him unjustly.
24 Who his own self bore our sins in his body upon the tree: that we, being dead to sins, should live to justice: by whose stripes you were healed.
25 For you were as sheep going astray; but you are now converted to the shepherd and bishop of your souls.
Alleluia – John 10:14
R. Alleluia, alleluia.
14 I am the good shepherd, says the Lord;
I know my sheep, and mine know me.
R. Alleluia, alleluia.
Gospel – John 10:1-10
1 Jesus said: “Amen, amen I say to you: He that enters not by the door into the sheepfold, but climbs up another way, the same is a thief and a robber.
2 But he that enters in by the door is the shepherd of the sheep.
3 To him the gatekeeper opens; and the sheep hear his voice: and he calls his own sheep by name, and leads them out.
4 And when he has let out his own sheep, he goes before them: and the sheep follow him, because they know his voice.
5 But a stranger they follow not, but fly from him, because they know not the voice of strangers.
6 This proverb Jesus spoke to them. But they understood not what he spoke to them.
7 Jesus, therefore, said to them again: Amen, amen I say to you, I am the door of the sheep.
8 All others, as many as have come, are thieves and robbers: and the sheep heard them not.
9 I am the door. By me, if any man enter in, he shall be saved: and he shall go in, and go out, and shall find pastures.
10 The thief comes not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I am come that they may have life, and may have it more abundantly.
