First Reading

1 John 4:19--5:4

19We love, because he first loved us.

20If any one says, “I love God,” and hates his brother, he is a liar; for he who does not love his brother whom he has seen, cannot love God whom he has not seen.

21And this commandment we have from him, that he who loves God should love his brother also.

1Every one who believes that Jesus is the Christ is a child of God, and every one who loves the parent loves the child.

2By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God and obey 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 overcomes the world, our faith.

Responsorial Psalm

Psalms 72:2, 14-15, 17

1Give the king thy justice, O God, and thy righteousness to the royal son!

2May he judge thy people with righteousness, and thy poor with justice!

14From oppression and violence he redeems their life; and precious is their blood in his sight.

15Long may he live, may gold of Sheba be given to him! May prayer be made for him continually, and blessings invoked for him all the day!

17May his name endure for ever, his fame continue as long as the sun! May men bless themselves by him, all nations call him blessed!

Gospel

Luke 4:14-22

14And Jesus returned in the power of the Spirit into Galilee, and a report concerning him went out through all the surrounding country.

15And he taught in their synagogues, being glorified by all.

16And he came to Nazareth, where he had been brought up; and he went to the synagogue, as his custom was, on the sabbath day. And he stood up to read;

17and there was given to him the book of the prophet Isaiah. He opened the book and found the place where it was written,

18“The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he has anointed me to preach good news to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim release to the captives and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty those who are oppressed,

19to proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord.”

20And he closed the book, and gave it back to the attendant, and sat down; and the eyes of all in the synagogue were fixed on him.

21And he began to say to them, “Today this scripture has been fulfilled in your hearing.”

22And all spoke well of him, and wondered at the gracious words which proceeded out of his mouth; and they said, “Is not this Joseph’s son?”
