Gospel Matthew 8:18-22

  • 18Then Jesus, seeing the great crowds encircling him, gave orders to go across the sea.

  • 19And one scribe, approaching, said to him, “Teacher, I will follow you wherever you will go.”

  • 20And Jesus said to him, “Foxes have dens, and the birds of the air have nests, but the Son of man has nowhere to rest his head.”

  • 21Then another of his disciples said to him, “Lord, permit me first to go and bury my father.”

  • 22But Jesus said to him, “Follow me, and allow the dead to bury their dead.”

Computed by Bless from the US Lectionary cycle — confirm with your parish.

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.
