Wednesday in Easter

1Verse 1. In the year that King Uzziah died, I saw the Lord seated on a throne, high and exalted; and the train of His robe filled the temple. 2Verse 2. Above Him stood seraphim, each having six wings: With two wings they covered their faces, with two they covered their feet, and with two they were flying. 3Verse 3. And they were calling out to one another: “Holy, holy, holy is the LORD of Hosts; all the earth is full of His glory.” 4Verse 4. At the sound of their voices the doorposts and thresholds shook, and the temple was filled with smoke. 5Verse 5. Then I said: “Woe is me, for I am ruined, because I am a man of unclean lips dwelling among a people of unclean lips; for my eyes have seen the King, the LORD of Hosts.” 6Verse 6. Then one of the seraphim flew to me, and in his hand was a glowing coal that he had taken with tongs from the altar. 7Verse 7. And with it he touched my mouth and said: “Now that this has touched your lips, your iniquity is removed and your sin is atoned for.” 8Verse 8. Then I heard the voice of the Lord saying: “Whom shall I send? Who will go for Us?” And I said: “Here am I. Send me!”

1Verse 1. On one occasion, while Jesus was standing by the Lake of Gennesaret with the crowd pressing in on Him to hear the word of God, 2Verse 2. He saw two boats at the edge of the lake. The fishermen had left them and were washing their nets. 3Verse 3. Jesus got into the boat belonging to Simon and asked him to put out a little from shore. And sitting down, He taught the people from the boat. 4Verse 4. When Jesus had finished speaking, He said to Simon, “Put out into deep water and let down your nets for a catch.” 5Verse 5. “Master,” Simon replied, “we have worked hard all night without catching anything. But because You say so, I will let down the nets.” 6Verse 6. When they had done so, they caught such a large number of fish that their nets began to tear. 7Verse 7. So they signaled to their partners in the other boat to come and help them, and they came and filled both boats so full that they began to sink. 8Verse 8. When Simon Peter saw this, he fell at Jesus’ knees. “Go away from me, Lord,” he said, “for I am a sinful man.” 9Verse 9. For he and his companions were astonished at the catch of fish they had taken, 10Verse 10. and so were his partners James and John, the sons of Zebedee. “Do not be afraid,” Jesus said to Simon. “From now on you will catch men.” 11Verse 11. And when they had brought their boats ashore, they left everything and followed Him.
