1st Reading Dt 18:15-20
Moses spoke to the people,
saying: “A prophet like me will
the Lord, your God, raise up
for you from among your own
kin; to him you shall listen.
This is exactly what you requested of the Lord, your God,
at Horeb on the day of the assembly, when you said, ‘Let us
not again hear the voice of the
Lord, our God, nor see this
great fi re any more, lest we
die.’
And the Lord said to me, ‘This was well said. I will raise up for them a prophet like you from among their kin, and will put my words into his mouth; he shall tell them all that I command him.
Whoever will not listen to my words which he speaks in my name, I myself will make him answer for it. But if a prophet presumes to speak in my name an oracle that I have not commanded him to speak, or speaks in the name of other gods, he shall die.’ ”

Responsorial Psalm: Ps 95
R –If today you hear his voice,
harden not your hearts!
* Come, let us sing joyfully
to the Lord; let us acclaim the
rock of our salvation. Let us
come into his presence with
thanksgiving; let us joyfully
sing psalms to him. R.
* Come, let us bow down in
worship; let us kneel before
the Lord who made us. For
he is our God, and we are the
people he shepherds, the flock
he guides. R.
* Oh, that today you would
hear his voice: “Harden not
your hearts as at Meribah, as
in the day of Massah in the desert, where your fathers tempted me; they tested me though
they had seen my works.” R.
2nd Reading: 1 Cor 7:32-35
Brothers and sisters:
I should like you to be free
of anxieties. An unmarried
man is anxious about the things
of the Lord, how he may please
the Lord. But a married man is
anxious about the things of the
world, how he may please his
wife, and he is divided. An unmarried woman or a virgin is
anxious about the things of the
Lord, so that she may be holy
in both body and spirit. A married woman, on the other hand,
is anxious about the things of
the world, how she may please
her husband.
I am telling you this for
your own benefit, not to impose a restraint upon you, but
for the sake of propriety and
adherence to the Lord without
distraction.
Gospel Acclamation: Mt 4:16
Alleluia! Alleluia!
The people who sit in
darkness have seen a great
light; on those dwelling in
a land overshadowed by
death, light has arisen.
Alleluia! Alleluia!
Gospel: Mk 1:21-28
They came to Capernaum, and on the sabbath Jesus entered the synagogue and
taught. The people were astonished at his teaching, for he
taught them as one having authority and not as the scribes.
In their synagogue was a
man with an unclean spirit. He
cried out, “What have you to
do with us, Jesus of Nazareth?
Have you come to destroy us?
I know who you are – the Holy
One of God!” Jesus rebuked
him and said, “Quiet! Come
out of him!” The unclean spirit
convulsed the man and with a
loud cry came out of him.
All were amazed and asked
one another, “What is this? A
new teaching with authority!
He commands even the unclean
spirits and they obey him.”
Jesus’ fame spread everywhere
throughout the whole region of
Galilee
