Genesis 28:10-22
10Jacob left Beer-sheba, and went toward Haran.
11And he came to a certain place, and stayed there that night, because the sun had set. Taking one of the stones of the place, he put it under his head and lay down in that place to sleep.
12And he dreamed that there was a ladder set up on the earth, and the top of it reached to heaven; and behold, the angels of God were ascending and descending on it!
13And behold, the LORD stood above it and said, “I am the LORD, the God of Abraham your father and the God of Isaac; the land on which you lie I will give to you and to your descendants;
14and your descendants shall be like the dust of the earth, and you shall spread abroad to the west and to the east and to the north and to the south; and by you and your descendants shall all the families of the earth bless themselves.
15Behold, I am with you and will keep you wherever you go, and will bring you back to this land; for I will not leave you until I have done that of which I have spoken to you.”
16Then Jacob awoke from his sleep and said, “Surely the LORD is in this place; and I did not know it.”
17And he was afraid, and said, “How awesome is this place! This is none other than the house of God, and this is the gate of heaven.”
18So Jacob rose early in the morning, and he took the stone which he had put under his head and set it up for a pillar and poured oil on the top of it.
19He called the name of that place Bethel; but the name of the city was Luz at the first.
20Then Jacob made a vow, saying, “If God will be with me, and will keep me in this way that I go, and will give me bread to eat and clothing to wear,
21so that I come again to my father’s house in peace, then the LORD shall be my God,
22and this stone, which I have set up for a pillar, shall be God’s house; and of all that thou givest me I will give the tenth to thee.”
Responsorial Psalm
Psalms 91:1-4, 14-15
1He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High, who abides in the shadow of the Almighty,
2will say to the LORD, “My refuge and my fortress; my God, in whom I trust.”
3For he will deliver you from the snare of the fowler and from the deadly pestilence;
4he will cover you with his pinions, and under his wings you will find refuge; his faithfulness is a shield and buckler.
14Because he cleaves to me in love, I will deliver him; I will protect him, because he knows my name.
15When he calls to me, I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble, I will rescue him and honor him.
Gospel
Matthew 9:18-26
18While he was thus speaking to them, behold, a ruler came in and knelt before him, saying, “My daughter has just died; but come and lay your hand on her, and she will live.”
19And Jesus rose and followed him, with his disciples.
20And behold, a woman who had suffered from a hemorrhage for twelve years came up behind him and touched the fringe of his garment;
21for she said to herself, “If I only touch his garment, I shall be made well.”
22Jesus turned, and seeing her he said, “Take heart, daughter; your faith has made you well.” And instantly the woman was made well.
23And when Jesus came to the ruler’s house, and saw the flute players, and the crowd making a tumult,
24he said, “Depart; for the girl is not dead but sleeping.” And they laughed at him.
25But when the crowd had been put outside, he went in and took her by the hand, and the girl arose.
26And the report of this went through all that district.

1 Corinthians 6:13-15, 17-20
13“Food is meant for the stomach and the stomach for food”—and God will destroy both one and the other. The body is not meant for immorality, but for the Lord, and the Lord for the body.
14And God raised the Lord and will also raise us up by his power.
15Do you not know that your bodies are members of Christ? Shall I therefore take the members of Christ and make them members of a prostitute? Never!
17But he who is united to the Lord becomes one spirit with him.
18Shun immorality. Every other sin which a man commits is outside the body; but the immoral man sins against his own body.
19Do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit within you, which you have from God? You are not your own;
20you were bought with a price. So glorify God in your body.
Responsorial Psalm
Psalms 31:3-4, 6, 8, 16-17
2Incline thy ear to me, rescue me speedily! Be thou a rock of refuge for me, a strong fortress to save me!
3Yea, thou art my rock and my fortress; for thy name’s sake lead me and guide me,
5Into thy hand I commit my spirit; thou hast redeemed me, O LORD, faithful God.
7I will rejoice and be glad for thy steadfast love, because thou hast seen my affliction, thou hast taken heed of my adversities,
15My times are in thy hand; deliver me from the hand of my enemies and persecutors!
16Let thy face shine on thy servant; save me in thy steadfast love!
Gospel
John 12:24-26
24Truly, truly, I say to you, unless a grain of wheat falls into the earth and dies, it remains alone; but if it dies, it bears much fruit.
25He who loves his life loses it, and he who hates his life in this world will keep it for eternal life.
26If any one serves me, he must follow me; and where I am, there shall my servant be also; if any one serves me, the Father will honor him.
