Responsorial Psalm Psalm 40:2, 4, 7-8, 8-9, 10
Read in the CPDV: Psalm 40 (39 in the Vulgate)
Second Reading 1 Corinthians 6:13c-15a, 17-20
13Food is for the stomach, and the stomach is for food. But God shall destroy both the stomach and food. And the body is not for fornication, but rather for the Lord; and the Lord is for the body.
14Truly, God has raised up the Lord, and he will raise us up by his power.
15Do you not know that your bodies are a part of Christ? So then, should I take a part of Christ and make it a part of a harlot? Let it not be so!
- Some verses are not read.
17But whoever is joined to the Lord is one spirit.
18Flee from fornication. Every sin whatsoever that a man commits is outside of the body, but whoever fornicates, sins against his own body.
19Or do you not know that your bodies are the Temple of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have from God, and that you are not your own?
20For you have been bought at a great price. Glorify and carry God in your body.

Gospel John 1:35-42
35The next day again, John was standing with two of his disciples.
36And catching sight of Jesus walking, he said, “Behold, the Lamb of God.”
37And two disciples were listening to him speaking. And they followed Jesus.
38Then Jesus, turning around and seeing them following him, said to them, “What are you seeking?” And they said to him, “Rabbi (which means in translation, Teacher), where do you live?”
39He said to them, “Come and see.” They went and saw where he was staying, and they stayed with him that day. Now it was about the tenth hour.
40And Andrew, the brother of Simon Peter, was one of the two who had heard about him from John and had followed him.
41First, he found his brother Simon, and he said to him, “We have found the Messiah,” (which is translated as the Christ).
42And he led him to Jesus. And Jesus, gazing at him, said: “You are Simon, son of Jonah. You shall be called Cephas,” (which is translated as Peter).

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.
