First Reading1 Timothy 6:13-16
13I charge you, in the sight of God, who enlivens all things, and in the sight of Christ Jesus, who gave the testimony of a good profession under Pontius Pilate,
14to observe the commandment, immaculately, irreproachably, unto the return of our Lord Jesus Christ.
15For at the proper time, he shall reveal the blessed and only Power, the King of kings and the Lord of lords,
16who alone holds immortality, and who inhabits the inaccessible light, whom no man has seen, nor even is able to see, to whom is honor and everlasting dominion. Amen.
4Then, when a very numerous crowd was gathering together and hurrying from the cities to him, he spoke using a comparison:
5“The sower went out to sow his seed. And as he sowed, some fell beside the way; and it was trampled and the birds of the air devoured it.
6And some fell upon rock; and having sprung up, it withered away, because it had no moisture.
7And some fell among thorns; and the thorns, rising up with it, suffocated it.
8And some fell upon good soil; and having sprung up, it produced fruit one hundredfold.” As he said these things, he cried out, “Whoever has ears to hear, let him hear.”
9Then his disciples questioned him as to what this parable might mean.
10And he said to them: “To you it has been given to know the mystery of the kingdom of God. But to the rest, it is in parables, so that: seeing, they may not perceive, and hearing, they may not understand.
11Now the parable is this: The seed is the word of God.
12And those beside the way are those who hear it, but then the devil comes and takes the word from their heart, lest by believing it they may be saved.
13Now those upon rock are those who, when they hear it, accept the word with joy, but these have no roots. So they believe for a time, but in a time of testing, they fall away.
14And those which fell among thorns are those who have heard it, but as they go along, they are suffocated by the concerns and riches and pleasures of this life, and so they do not yield fruit.
15But those which were on good soil are those who, upon hearing the word with a good and noble heart, retain it, and they bring forth fruit in patience.
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.
