Gospel Matthew 10:7-15

  • 7And going forth, preach, saying: ‘For the kingdom of heaven has drawn near.’

  • 8Cure the infirm, raise the dead, cleanse lepers, cast out demons. You have received freely, so give freely.

  • 9Do not choose to possess gold, nor silver, nor money in your belts,

  • 10nor provisions for the journey, nor two tunics, nor shoes, nor a staff. For the laborer deserves his portion.

  • 11Now, into whatever city or town you will enter, inquire as to who is worthy within it. And stay there until you depart.

  • 12Then, when you enter into the house, greet it, saying, ‘Peace to this house.’

  • 13And if, indeed, that house is worthy, your peace will rest upon it. But if it is not worthy, your peace will return to you.

  • 14And whoever has neither received you, nor listened to your words, departing from that house or city, shake off the dust from your feet.

  • 15Amen I say to you, it will be more tolerable for the land of Sodom and Gomorrah in the day of judgment, than for that city.

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.
