First ReadingHebrews 4:1-5, 11
1Therefore, we should be afraid, lest the promise of entering into his rest may be relinquished, and some of you may be judged to be lacking.
2For this was announced to us in a similar manner as to them. But the mere hearing of the word did not benefit them, since it was not joined together with a faith in those things that they heard.
3For we who have believed shall enter into rest, in the same manner as he said: “So it is as I have sworn in my wrath: They shall not enter into my rest!” And certainly, this is when the works from the foundation of the world have been finished.
4For, in a certain place, he spoke about the seventh day in this manner: “And God rested on the seventh day from all his works.”
5And in this place again: “They shall not enter into my rest!”
Some verses are not read.
11Therefore, let us hasten to enter into that rest, so that no one may fall into the same example of unbelief.
1And after some days, he again entered into Capernaum.
2And it was heard that he was in the house. And so many gathered that there was no room left, not even at the door. And he spoke the word to them.
3And they came to him, bringing a paralytic, who was being carried by four men.
4And when they were not able to present him to him because of the crowd, they uncovered the roof where he was. And opening it, they lowered down the stretcher on which the paralytic was lying.
5Then, when Jesus had seen their faith, he said to the paralytic, “Son, your sins are forgiven you.”
6But some of the scribes were sitting in that place and thinking in their hearts:
7“Why is this man speaking in this way? He is blaspheming. Who can forgive sins, but God alone?”
8At once, Jesus, realizing in his spirit that they were thinking this within themselves, said to them: “Why are you thinking these things in your hearts?
9Which is easier, to say to the paralytic, ‘Your sins are forgiven you,’ or to say, ‘Rise up, take up your stretcher, and walk?’
10But so that you may know that the Son of man has authority on earth to forgive sins,” he said to the paralytic:
11“I say to you: Rise up, take up your stretcher, and go into your house.”
12And immediately he got up, and lifting up his stretcher, he went away in the sight of them all, so that they all wondered. And they honored God, by saying, “We have never seen anything like this.”
Citations as published in the USCCB liturgical calendar.
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.
