Weekday
First Reading
Amos 7:10-17
10Then Amazi'ah the priest of Bethel sent to Jerobo'am king of Israel, saying, "Amos has conspired against you in the midst of the house of Israel; the land is not able to bear all his words.
11For thus Amos has said, `Jerobo'am shall die by the sword, and Israel must go into exile away from his land.'"
12And Amazi'ah said to Amos, "O seer, go, flee away to the land of Judah, and eat bread there, and prophesy there;
13but never again prophesy at Bethel, for it is the king's sanctuary, and it is a temple of the kingdom."
14Then Amos answered Amazi'ah, "I am no prophet, nor a prophet's son; but I am a herdsman, and a dresser of sycamore trees,
15and the LORD took me from following the flock, and the LORD said to me, `Go, prophesy to my people Israel.'
16"Now therefore hear the word of the LORD. You say, `Do not prophesy against Israel, and do not preach against the house of Isaac.'
17Therefore thus says the LORD: `Your wife shall be a harlot in the city, and your sons and your daughters shall fall by the sword, and your land shall be parceled out by line; you yourself shall die in an unclean land, and Israel shall surely go into exile away from its land.'"
Responsorial Psalm
Psalms 19:8-11
7The law of the LORD is perfect, reviving the soul; the testimony of the LORD is sure, making wise the simple;
8the precepts of the LORD are right, rejoicing the heart; the commandment of the LORD is pure, enlightening the eyes;
9the fear of the LORD is clean, enduring for ever; the ordinances of the LORD are true, and righteous altogether.
10More to be desired are they than gold, even much fine gold; sweeter also than honey and drippings of the honeycomb.
Gospel
Matthew 9:1-8
1And getting into a boat he crossed over and came to his own city.
2And behold, they brought to him a paralytic, lying on his bed; and when Jesus saw their faith he said to the paralytic, "Take heart, my son; your sins are forgiven."
3And behold, some of the scribes said to themselves, "This man is blaspheming."
4But Jesus, knowing their thoughts, said, "Why do you think evil in your hearts?
5For which is easier, to say, `Your sins are forgiven,' or to say, `Rise and walk'?
6But that you may know that the Son of man has authority on earth to forgive sins" -- he then said to the paralytic -- "Rise, take up your bed and go home."
7And he rose and went home.
8When the crowds saw it, they were afraid, and they glorified God, who had given such authority to men.
