Responsorial Psalm
Psalms 40: 2, 4ab, 7-8a, 8b-9, 10
2A - Surely, I wait for the LORD; who bends down to me and hears my cry,
4And puts a new song in my mouth, a hymn to our God. Many shall look on in fear and they shall trust in the LORD.
7Sacrifice and offering you do not want; you opened my ears. Holocaust and sin-offering you do not request;
8so I said, “See; I come with an inscribed scroll written upon me.
9I delight to do your will, my God; your law is in my inner being!”
10When I sing of your righteousness in a great assembly, See, I do not restrain my lips; as you, LORD, know.

Gospel
John 1: 35-42
35The next day John was there again with two of his disciples,
36and as he watched Jesus walk by, he said, “Behold, the Lamb of God.”
37The two disciples heard what he said and followed Jesus.
38Jesus turned and saw them following him and said to them, “What are you looking for?” They said to him, “Rabbi” (which translated means Teacher), “where are you staying?”
39He said to them, “Come, and you will see.” So they went and saw where he was staying, and they stayed with him that day. It was about four in the afternoon.
40Andrew, the brother of Simon Peter, was one of the two who heard John and followed Jesus.
41He first found his own brother Simon and told him, “We have found the Messiah” (which is translated Anointed).
42Then he brought him to Jesus. Jesus looked at him and said, “You are Simon the son of John; you will be called Cephas” (which is translated Peter).
