For because of these things, the wrath of God was sent upon the sons of unbelief. - 7 Therefore, do not choose to become participants with them. - 8 For you were darkness, in times past, but now you are light, in the Lord. So then, walk as sons of the light.

And she was bent over; and she was unable to look upwards at all. - 12 And when Jesus saw her, he called her to himself, and he said to her, “Woman, you are released from your infirmity.” - 13 And he laid his hands upon her, and immediately she was straightened, and she glorified God. - 14 Then, as a result, the ruler of the synagogue became angry that Jesus had cured on the Sabbath, and he said to the crowd: “There are six days on which you ought to work. Therefore, come and be cured on those, and not on the day of the Sabbath.” - 15 Then the Lord said to him in response: “You hypocrites! Does not each one of you, on the Sabbath, release his ox or donkey from the stall, and lead it to water? - 16 So then, should not this daughter of Abraham, whom Satan has bound for lo these eighteen years, be released from this restraint on the day of the Sabbath?” - 17 And as he was saying these things, all his adversaries were ashamed. And all the people rejoiced in everything that was being done gloriously by him.

In US parishes the readings are proclaimed from the NABRE; the text shown here is the Catholic Public Domain Version. Old Testament readings and the psalm are listed with a link to their chapter: the US Lectionary numbers some of their verses differently from the CPDV, so their text is not printed here. Psalm citations keep the Lectionary’s Hebrew numbering; the CPDV numbers the Psalms as the Vulgate does. Spotted a wrong date, color or citation?
