First Reading 1 Corinthians 3:18-23

  • 18Let no one deceive himself. If anyone among you seems to be wise in this age, let him become foolish, so that he may be truly wise.

  • 19For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. And so it has been written: “I will catch the wise in their own astuteness.”

  • 20And again: “The Lord knows the thoughts of the wise, that they are vain.”

  • 21And so, let no one glory in men.

  • 22For all is yours: whether Paul, or Apollo, or Cephas, or the world, or life, or death, or the present, or the future. Yes, all is yours.

  • 23But you are Christ’s, and Christ is God’s.

Gospel Luke 5:1-11

  • 1Now it happened that, when the crowds pressed toward him, so that they might hear the word of God, he was standing beside the lake of Genesaret.

  • 2And he saw two boats standing beside the lake. But the fishermen had climbed down, and they were washing their nets.

  • 3And so, climbing into one of the boats, which belonged to Simon, he asked him to draw back a little from the land. And sitting down, he taught the crowds from the boat.

  • 4Then, when he had ceased speaking, he said to Simon, “Lead us into deep water, and release your nets for a catch.”

  • 5And in response, Simon said to him: “Teacher, working throughout the night, we caught nothing. But on your word, I will release the net.”

  • 6And when they had done this, they enclosed such a copious multitude of fish that their net was rupturing.

  • 7And they signaled to their associates, who were in the other boat, so that they would come and help them. And they came and filled both boats, so that they were nearly submerged.

  • 8But when Simon Peter had seen this, he fell down at the knees of Jesus, saying, “Depart from me, Lord, for I am a sinful man.”

  • 9For astonishment had enveloped him, and all who were with him, at the catch of fish that they had taken.

  • 10Now the same was true of James and John, the sons of Zebedee, who were associates of Simon. And Jesus said to Simon: “Do not be afraid. From now on, you will be catching men.”

  • 11And having led their boats to land, leaving behind everything, they followed him.

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.
