Gospel Reading:
Woe on Unrepentant Towns

Then Jesus began to denounce the towns
in which most of his miracles had been performed,
because they did not repent.
“Woe to you, Chorazin! Woe to you, Bethsaida!
For if the miracles that were performed
in you had been performed in Tyre and Sidon,
they would have repented long ago in sackcloth and ashes.
But I tell you,
it will be more bearable for Tyre and Sidon on the day of judgment than for you.
And you, Capernaum, will you be lifted to the heavens?
No, you will go down to Hades.
For if the miracles that were performed in you had been performed in Sodom,
it would have remained to this day.
But I tell you that it will be more bearable for Sodom
on the day of judgment than for you.”
(Matthew 11:20-24).

I thank you for all the blessings

Gospel Reading:
The Workers Are Few

Jesus went through all the towns and villages,
teaching in their synagogues,
proclaiming the good news of the kingdom
and healing every disease and sickness.
When he saw the crowds,
he had compassion on them,
because they were harassed and helpless,
like sheep without a shepherd.
Then he said to his disciples,
“The harvest is plentiful but the workers are few.
Ask the Lord of the harvest,
therefore,
to send out workers into his harvest field.
(Matthew 9:35-38).

Today’s Reading: Psalm 66:13-20 (NIV)*

LORD God,
thank you for answering prayer
—not once but thousands of times.
Again and again,
you have proven your love for me.
You are the God who hears me.
Amen.

Gospel Reading:
Jesus Raises a Dead Girl and Heals a Sick Woman

While he was saying this,
a synagogue leader came and knelt before him and said,
“My daughter has just died.
But come and put your hand on her, and she will live.”
Jesus got up and went with him, and so did his disciples.

Just then a woman who had been subject to bleeding for twelve years
came up behind him and touched the edge of his cloak.
She said to herself,
“If I only touch his cloak, I will be healed.”

Jesus turned and saw her.
“Take heart, daughter,” he said, “your faith has healed you.”
And the woman was healed at that moment.

When Jesus entered the synagogue leader’s house
and saw the noisy crowd and people playing pipes,
he said, “Go away.
The girl is not dead but asleep.”
But they laughed at him.
After the crowd had been put outside,
he went in and took the girl by the hand, and she got up.
News of this spread through all that region.
(Matthew 9:18-26).

Gospel Reading:
Jesus Questioned About Fasting

Then John’s disciples came and asked him,
“How is it that we and the Pharisees fast often,
but your disciples do not fast?”

Jesus answered,
“How can the guests of the bridegroom mourn while he is with them?
The time will come when the bridegroom will be taken from them;
then they will fast.

“No one sews a patch of unshrunk cloth on an old garment,
for the patch will pull away from the garment,
making the tear worse.
Neither do people pour new wine into old wineskins.
If they do, the skins will burst; the wine will run out
and the wineskins will be ruined.
No, they pour new wine into new wineskins,
and both are preserved.”
(Matthew 9:14-17).

Gospel Reading:
The Calling of Matthew

As Jesus went on from there,
he saw a man named Matthew sitting at the tax collector’s booth.
“Follow me,” he told him,
and Matthew got up and followed him.

While Jesus was having dinner at Matthew’s house,
many tax collectors and sinners came and ate with him and his disciples.
When the Pharisees saw this,
they asked his disciples,
“Why does your teacher eat with tax collectors and sinners?”

On hearing this, Jesus said,

“It is not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick.
But go and learn what this means: ‘I desire mercy, not sacrifice.’
For I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners.”
(Matthew 9:9-13).

LORD God,
I thank you for hearing my prayers,

Amen.

Gospel Reading:
Jesus Forgives and Heals a Paralyzed Man

Jesus stepped into a boat,
crossed over and came to his own town.
Some men brought to him a paralyzed man, lying on a mat.
When Jesus saw their faith, he said to the man,
“Take heart, son; your sins are forgiven.”

At this, some of the teachers of the law said to themselves,
“This fellow is blaspheming!”

Knowing their thoughts, Jesus said,
“Why do you entertain evil thoughts in your hearts?
Which is easier: to say,
‘Your sins are forgiven,’
or to say,
‘Get up and walk’?
But I want you to know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins.”
So he said to the paralyzed man,
“Get up, take your mat and go home.”
Then the man got up and went home.
When the crowd saw this,
they were filled with awe; and they praised God,
who had given such authority to man.
(Matthew 9:1-8).

Gospel Reading:
Jesus Restores Two Demon-Possessed Men

When he arrived at the other side
in the region of the Gadarenes,
two demon-possessed men coming from the tombs met him.
They were so violent that no one could pass that way.
“What do you want with us, Son of God?”
they shouted.
“Have you come here to torture us
before the appointed time?”

Some distance from them,
a large herd of pigs was feeding.
The demons begged Jesus,
“If you drive us out,
send us into the herd of pigs.”

He said to them, “Go!”
So they came out and went into the pigs,
and the whole herd rushed down the steep bank
into the lake and died in the water.
Those tending the pigs ran off,
went into the town and reported all this,
including what had happened to the demon-possessed men.
Then the whole town went out to meet Jesus.
And when they saw him,
they pleaded with him to leave their region.
(Matthew 8:28-34).

Gospel Reading:
Jesus Calms the Storm

 Then he got into the boat
and his disciples followed him.
Suddenly a furious storm came up on the lake,
so that the waves swept over the boat.
But Jesus was sleeping.
The disciples went and woke him, saying,
“Lord, save us! We’re going to drown!”

He replied, “You of little faith, why are you so afraid?”
Then he got up and rebuked the winds and the waves,
and it was completely calm.

The men were amazed and asked,
“What kind of man is this?
Even the winds and the waves obey him!”
(Matthew 8:23-27).
