Judges 4:1-9 First Lesson
1. The Israelites again did what was evil in the sight of the Lord, after Ehud died.
2. So the Lord sold them into the hand of King Jabin of Canaan, who reigned in Hazor; the commander of his army was Sisera, who lived in Harosheth-ha-goiim.
3. Then the Israelites cried out to the Lord for help; for he had nine hundred chariots of iron, and had oppressed the Israelites cruelly twenty years.
4. At that time Deborah, a prophetess, wife of Lappidoth, was judging Israel.
5. She used to sit under the palm of Deborah between Ramah and Bethel in the hill country of Ephraim; and the Israelites came up to her for judgment.
6. She sent and summoned Barak son of Abinoam from Kedesh in Naphtali, and said to him, “The Lord, the God of Israel, commands you, ‘Go, take position at Mount Tabor, bringing ten thousand from the tribe of Naphtali and the tribe of Zebulun.
7. I will draw out Sisera, the general of Jabin’s army, to meet you by the Wadi Kishon with his chariots and his troops; and I will give him into your hand.’”
8. Barak said to her, “If you will go with me, I will go; but if you will not go with me, I will not go.”
9. And she said, “I will surely go with you; nevertheless, the road on which you are going will not lead to your glory, for the Lord will sell Sisera into the hand of a woman.” Then Deborah got up and went with Barak to Kedesh.

Acts 9:36-42 Second Lesson
36. Now in Joppa there was a disciple whose name was Tabitha, which in Greek is Dorcas. She was devoted to good works and acts of charity.
37. At that time she became ill and died. When they had washed her, they laid her in a room upstairs.
38. Since Lydda was near Joppa, the disciples, who heard that Peter was there, sent two men to him with the request, “Please come to us without delay.”
39. So Peter got up and went with them; and when he arrived, they took him to the room upstairs. All the widows stood beside him, weeping and showing tunics and other clothing that Dorcas had made while she was with them.
40. Peter put all of them outside, and then he knelt down and prayed. He turned to the body and said, “Tabitha, get up.” Then she opened her eyes, and seeing Peter, she sat up.
41. He gave her his hand and helped her up. Then calling the saints and widows, he showed her to be alive.
42. This became known throughout Joppa, and many believed in the Lord.

Romans 16:1-12 Epistle
1. I commend to you our sister Phoebe, a deacon of the church at Cenchreae,
2. so that you may welcome her in the Lord as is fitting for the saints, and help her in whatever she may require from you, for she has been a benefactor of many and of myself as well.
3. Greet Prisca and Aquila, who work with me in Christ Jesus,
4. and who risked their necks for my life, to whom not only I give thanks, but also all the churches of the Gentiles.
5. Greet also the church in their house. Greet my beloved Epaenetus, who was the first convert in Asia for Christ.
6. Greet Mary, who has worked very hard among you.
7. Greet Andronicus and Junia, my relatives who were in prison with me; they are prominent among the apostles, and they were in Christ before I was.
8. Greet Ampliatus, my beloved in the Lord.
9. Greet Urbanus, our co-worker in Christ, and my beloved Stachys.
10. Greet Apelles, who is approved in Christ. Greet those who belong to the family of Aristobulus.
11. Greet my relative Herodion. Greet those in the Lord who belong to the family of Narcissus.

Matthew 28:1-10 Gospel
1. After the sabbath, as the first day of the week was dawning, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary went to see the tomb.
2. And suddenly there was a great earthquake; for an angel of the Lord, descending from heaven, came and rolled back the stone and sat on it.
3. His appearance was like lightning, and his clothing white as snow.
4. For fear of him the guards shook and became like dead men.
5. But the angel said to the women, “Do not be afraid; I know that you are looking for Jesus who was crucified.
6. He is not here; for he has been raised, as he said. Come, see the place where he lay.
7. Then go quickly and tell his disciples, ‘He has been raised from the dead, and indeed he is going ahead of you to Galilee; there you will see him.’ This is my message for you.”
8. So they left the tomb quickly with fear and great joy, and ran to tell his disciples.
9. Suddenly Jesus met them and said, “Greetings!” And they came to him, took hold of his feet, and worshiped him.
10. Then Jesus said to them, “Do not be afraid; go and tell my brothers to go to Galilee; there they will see me.” The Report of the Guard
