First Reading

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.
