1 Corinthians 3:1-9
1But I, brethren, could not address you as spiritual men, but as men of the flesh, as babes in Christ.
2I fed you with milk, not solid food; for you were not ready for it; and even yet you are not ready,
3for you are still of the flesh. For while there is jealousy and strife among you, are you not of the flesh, and behaving like ordinary men?
4For when one says, “I belong to Paul,” and another, “I belong to Apolʹlos,” are you not merely men?
5What then is Apolʹlos? What is Paul? Servants through whom you believed, as the Lord assigned to each.
6I planted, Apolʹlos watered, but God gave the growth.
7So neither he who plants nor he who waters is anything, but only God who gives the growth.
8He who plants and he who waters are equal, and each shall receive his wages according to his labor.
9For we are God’s fellow workers; you are God’s field, God’s building.
Responsorial Psalm
Psalms 33:12-15, 20-21
12Blessed is the nation whose God is the LORD, the people whom he has chosen as his heritage!
13The LORD looks down from heaven, he sees all the sons of men;
14from where he sits enthroned he looks forth on all the inhabitants of the earth,
15he who fashions the hearts of them all, and observes all their deeds.
20Our soul waits for the LORD; he is our help and shield.
21Yea, our heart is glad in him, because we trust in his holy name.
Gospel
Luke 4:38-44
38And he arose and left the synagogue, and entered Simon’s house. Now Simon’s mother-in-law was ill with a high fever, and they besought him for her.
39And he stood over her and rebuked the fever, and it left her; and immediately she rose and served them.
40Now when 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, “You are the Son of God!” But he rebuked them, and would not allow them to speak, because they knew that he was the Christ.
42And when it was day he departed and went into a lonely place. And the people sought him and came to him, and would have kept him from leaving them;
43but he said to them, “I must preach the good news of the kingdom of God to the other cities also; for I was sent for this purpose.”
44And he was preaching in the synagogues of Judea.

2 Corinthians 4:1-2, 5-7
1Therefore, having this ministry by the mercy of God, we do not lose heart.
2We have renounced disgraceful, underhanded ways; we refuse to practice cunning or to tamper with God’s word, but by the open statement of the truth we would commend ourselves to every man’s conscience in the sight of God.
5For what we preach is not ourselves, but Jesus Christ as Lord, with ourselves as your servants for Jesus’ sake.
6For it is the God who said, “Let light shine out of darkness,” who has shone in our hearts to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Christ.
7But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, to show that the transcendent power belongs to God and not to us.
Responsorial Psalm
Psalms 96:1-3, 7-8, 10
1O sing to the LORD a new song; sing to the LORD, all the earth!
2Sing to the LORD, bless his name; tell of his salvation from day to day.
3Declare his glory among the nations, his marvelous works among all the peoples!
7Ascribe to the LORD, O families of the peoples, ascribe to the LORD glory and strength!
8Ascribe to the LORD the glory due his name; bring an offering, and come into his courts!
10Say among the nations, “The LORD reigns! Yea, the world is established, it shall never be moved; he will judge the peoples with equity.”
Gospel
Luke 22:24-30
24A dispute also arose among them, which of them was to be regarded as the greatest.
25And he said to them, “The kings of the Gentiles exercise lordship over them; and those in authority over them are called benefactors.
26But not so with you; rather let the greatest among you become as the youngest, and the leader as one who serves.
27For which is the greater, one who sits at table, or one who serves? Is it not the one who sits at table? But I am among you as one who serves.
28“You are those who have continued with me in my trials;
29as my Father appointed a kingdom for me, so do I appoint for you
30that you may eat and drink at my table in my kingdom, and sit on thrones judging the twelve tribes of Israel.
