Psalm

Psalms 19:3-4

3There is no speech nor language Where their voice is not heard.4Their line has gone out through all the earth, And their words to the end of the world.

Gospel

Luke 4:38-41

38Now He arose from the synagogue and entered Simon's house. But Simon's wife's mother was sick with a high fever, and they made request of Him concerning her.39So He stood over her and rebuked the fever, and it left her. And immediately she arose and served them.40When the sun was setting, all those who had any that were sick with various diseases brought them to Him; and He laid His hands on every one of them and healed them.41And demons also came out of many, crying out and saying, You are the Christ, the Son of God! And He, rebuking them, did not allow them to speak, for they knew that He was the Christ.

Psalm

Psalms 110:4-5, 7

4The Lord has sworn And will not relent, You are a priest forever According to the order of Melchizedek.5The Lord is at Your right hand
7Therefore He shall lift up the head.

Gospel

Luke 5:18-26

18Then behold, men brought on a bed a man who was paralyzed, whom they sought to bring in and lay before Him.19And when they could not find how they might bring him in, because of the crowd, they went up on the housetop and let him down with his bed through the tiling into the midst before Jesus.20When He saw their faith, He said to him, Man, your sins are forgiven you.21And the scribes and the Pharisees began to reason, saying, Who is this who speaks blasphemies? Who can forgive sins but God alone?22But when Jesus perceived their thoughts, He answered and said to them, Why are you reasoning in your hearts?23Which is easier, to say, `Your sins are forgiven you,' or to say, `Rise up and walk'?24But that you may know that the Son of Man has power on earth to forgive sins--He said to the man who was paralyzed, I say to you, arise, take up your bed, and go to your house.25Immediately he rose up before them, took up what he had been lying on, and departed to his own house, glorifying God.26And they were all amazed, and they glorified God and were filled with fear, saying, We have seen strange things today!

2 Corinthians 3:12 - 4:4

12Therefore, since we have such hope, we use great boldness of speech--13unlike Moses, who put a veil over his face so that the children of Israel could not look steadily at the end of what was passing away.14But their minds were blinded. For until this day the same veil remains unlifted in the reading of the Old Testament, because the veil is taken away in Christ.15But even to this day, when Moses is read, a veil lies on their heart.16Nevertheless when one turns to the Lord, the veil is taken away.17Now the Lord is the Spirit; and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty.18But we all, with unveiled face, beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory, just as by the Spirit of the Lord.1Therefore, since we have this ministry, as we have received mercy, we do not lose heart.2But we have renounced the hidden things of shame, not walking in craftiness nor handling the word of God deceitfully, but by manifestation of the truth commending ourselves to every man's conscience in the sight of God.3But even if our gospel is veiled, it is veiled to those who are perishing,4whose minds the god of this age has blinded, who do not believe, lest the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine on them.

1 John 5:1-11

1Whoever believes that Jesus is the Christ is born of God, and everyone who loves Him who begot also loves him who is begotten of Him.2By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God and keep His commandments.3For this is the love of God, that we keep His commandments. And His commandments are not burdensome.4For whatever is born of God overcomes the world. And this is the victory that has overcome the world--our faith.5Who is he who overcomes the world, but he who believes that Jesus is the Son of God?6This is He who came by water and blood--Jesus Christ; not only by water, but by water and blood. And it is the Spirit who bears witness, because the Spirit is truth.7For there are three that bear witness in heaven: the Father, the Word, and the Holy Spirit; and these three are one.8And there are three that bear witness on earth: the Spirit, the water, and the blood; and these three agree as one.9If we receive the witness of men, the witness of God is greater; for this is the witness of God which He has testified of His Son.10He who believes in the Son of God has the witness in himself; he who does not believe God has made Him a liar, because he has not believed the testimony that God has given of His Son.11And this is the testimony: that God has given us eternal life

Acts

Acts 14:1-8

1Now it happened in Iconium that they went together to the synagogue of the Jews, and so spoke that a great multitude both of the Jews and of the Greeks believed.2But the unbelieving Jews stirred up the Gentiles and poisoned their minds against the brethren.3Therefore they stayed there a long time, speaking boldly in the Lord, who was bearing witness to the word of His grace, granting signs and wonders to be done by their hands.4But the multitude of the city was divided: part sided with the Jews, and part with the apostles.5And when a violent attempt was made by both the Gentiles and Jews, with their rulers, to abuse and stone them,6they became aware of it and fled to Lystra and Derbe, cities of Lycaonia, and to the surrounding region.7And they were preaching the gospel there.8And in Lystra a certain man without strength in his feet was sitting, a cripple from his mother's womb, who had never walked.

Psalm

1Oh, give thanks to the Lord! Call upon His name; Make known His deeds among the peoples!
11The Lord gave the word; Great was the company of those who proclaimed it:

Gospel

Luke 6:12-23

12Now it came to pass in those days that He went out to the mountain to pray, and continued all night in prayer to God.13And when it was day, He called His disciples to Himself; and from them He chose twelve whom He also named apostles:14Simon, whom He also named Peter, and Andrew his brother; James and John; Philip and Bartholomew;15Matthew and Thomas; James the son of Alphaeus, and Simon called the Zealot;16Judas the son of James, and Judas Iscariot who also became a traitor.17And He came down with them and stood on a level place with a crowd of His disciples and a great multitude of people from all Judea and Jerusalem, and from the seacoast of Tyre and Sidon, who came to hear Him and be healed of their diseases,18as well as those who were tormented with unclean spirits. And they were healed.19And the whole multitude sought to touch Him, for power went out from Him and healed them all.20Then He lifted up His eyes toward His disciples, and said: Blessed are you poor, For yours is the kingdom of God.21Blessed are you who hunger now, For you shall be filled. Blessed are you who weep now, For you shall laugh.22Blessed are you when men hate you, And when they exclude you, And revile you, and cast out your name as evil, For the Son of Man's sake.23Rejoice in that day and leap for joy! For indeed your reward is great in heaven, For in like manner their fathers did to the prophets.
