Read in the CPDV: James 1
28And when he had arrived across the sea, into the region of the Gerasenes, he was met by two who had demons, who were so exceedingly savage, as they went out from among the tombs, that no one was able to cross by that way.
29And behold, they cried out, saying: “What are we to you, O Jesus, the Son of God? Have you come here to torment us before the time?”
30Now there was, not far from them, a herd of many swine feeding.
31Then the demons petitioned him, saying: “If you cast us from here, send us into the herd of swine.”
32And he said to them, “Go.” And they, going out, went into the swine. And behold, the entire herd suddenly rushed along a steep place into the sea. And they died in the waters.
33Then the shepherds fled, and arriving in the city, they reported on all this, and on those who had had the demons.
34And behold, the entire city went out to meet Jesus. And having seen him, they petitioned him, so that he would cross from their borders.

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.
