A reading from the holy Gospel according to Luke 4:31-37
Jesus went down to Capernaum, a town of Galilee.
Jesus went down to Capernaum, a town of Galilee.
Brothers and sisters: The Spirit scrutinizes everything, even the depths of God.
Jesus came to Nazareth, where he had grown up, and went according to his custom into the synagogue on the sabbath day.
When I came to you, brothers and sisters, proclaiming the mystery of God, I did not come with sublimity of words or of wisdom.
Jesus began to show his disciples that he must go to Jerusalem and suffer greatly from the elders, the chief priests, and the scribes, and be killed and on the third day be raised.
I urge you, brothers and sisters, by the mercies of God, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God, your spiritual worship.
You duped me, O Lord, and I let myself be duped;/ you were too strong for me, and you triumphed./ All the day I am an object of laughter;/ everyone mocks me.
