1 Clap your hands, all | you peo- | ples; *
shout to God | with a | cry of | joy.
2 For the LORD Most High is | to be | feared; *
he is the great King | over | all the | earth.
3 He subdues the peoples | under | us, *
and the | nations | under our | feet.
4 He chooses our inheri- | tance for | us, *
the pride of | Jacob | whom he | loves.
5 God has gone up | with a | shout, *
the LORD with the | sound of | the ram's | horn.

Psalm 48 Magnus Dominus
1 Great is the LORD, and highly | to be | praised; *
in the city of our God | is his | holy | hill.
2 Beautiful and lofty, the joy of all the earth, is the | hill of | Zion, *
the very center of the world and the | city of | the great | King.
3 God is in her | cita- | dels; *
he is known to | be her | sure re- | fuge.
4 Behold, the kings of the earth | assem- | bled *
and marched | forward | toge- | ther.
5 They looked and were | astoun- | ded; *
they retreated | and fled | in ter- | ror.
6 Trembling | seized them | there; *
they writhed like a woman in childbirth,
like ships of the sea when the | east wind | shatters | them.
7 As we have heard, so have we seen,
in the city of the LORD of hosts, in the city | of our | God; *
God has esta- | blished her | for e- | ver.
8 We have waited in silence on your loving-kind- | ness, O | God, *
in the | midst of | your tem- | ple.
9 Your praise, like your Name, O God, reaches to | the world's | end; *
your right hand | is full | of jus- | tice.
10 Let Mount Zion be glad and the cities of Ju- | dah re- | joice, *
be- | cause of | your judg- | ments.
11 Make the circuit of Zion; walk round | about | her; *
count the number | of her | towers.
12 Consider well her bulwarks; examine | her strong | holds; *
that you may tell | those who | come af- | ter.
13 This God is our God for ever | and e- | ver; *
he shall be our | guide for | ever | more.
Gloria Patri
Glory be to the Father, and to the Son and to the Holy Ghost
As it was in the beginning, is now and ever shall be.
World without end. Amen, amen!
The Lessons
A reading from John 5:1-18
After this there was a festival of the Jews, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem. Now in Jerusalem by the Sheep Gate there is a pool, called in Hebrew Beth-zatha, which has five porticoes. In these lay many invalids-- blind, lame, and paralyzed.
One man was there who had been ill for thirty-eight years. When Jesus saw him lying there and knew that he had been there a long time, he said to him, "Do you want to be made well?" The sick man answered him, "Sir, I have no one to put me into the pool when the water is stirred up; and while I am making my way, someone else steps down ahead of me."
Jesus said to him, "Stand up, take your mat and walk." At once the man was made well, and he took up his mat and began to walk. Now that day was a sabbath. So the Jews said to the man who had been cured, "It is the sabbath; it is not lawful for you to carry your mat." But he answered them, "The man who made me well said to me, 'Take up your mat and walk.'"
They asked him, "Who is the man who said to you, 'Take it up and walk'?" Now the man who had been healed did not know who it was, for Jesus had disappeared in the crowd that was there.
Later Jesus found him in the temple and said to him, "See, you have been made well! Do not sin any more, so that nothing worse happens to you." The man went away and told the Jews that it was Jesus who had made him well.
Therefore the Jews started persecuting Jesus, because he was doing such things on the sabbath. But Jesus answered them, "My Father is still working, and I also am working." For this reason the Jews were seeking all the more to kill him, because he was not only breaking the sabbath, but was also calling God his own Father, thereby making himself equal to God.
Here ends the Reading.
