⁴¹ Yet for all their joy they were still disbelieving and wondering, and he said to them, “Have you anything here to eat?”^(A)

⁵ Jesus said to them, “Children, you have no fish, have you?” They answered him, “No.”^(A)

¹⁰ Jesus said to them, “Bring some of the fish that you have just caught.” ¹¹ So Simon Peter went aboard and hauled the net ashore, full of large fish, a hundred fifty-three of them, and though there were so many, the net was not torn. ¹² Jesus said to them, “Come and have breakfast.” Now none of the disciples dared to ask him, “Who are you?” because they knew it was the Lord. ¹³ Jesus came and took the bread and gave it to them and did the same with the fish.^(A)

²² So you have pain now, but I will see you again, and your hearts will rejoice, and no one will take your joy from you.^(A)

Psalm 126

A Harvest of Joy

A Song of Ascents.

²⁶ And they told him, “Joseph is still alive! He is even ruler over all the land of Egypt.” He was stunned; he could not believe them. ²⁷ But when they told him all the words of Joseph that he had said to them, and when he saw the wagons that Joseph had sent to carry him, the spirit of their father Jacob revived. ²⁸ Israel said, “Enough! My son Joseph is still alive. I must go and see him before I die.”
