Colossians 1:1-8
1Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus by the will of God, and Timothy our brother,
2To the saints and faithful brethren in Christ at Colosʹsae: Grace to you and peace from God our Father.
3We always thank God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, when we pray for you,
4because we have heard of your faith in Christ Jesus and of the love which you have for all the saints,
5because of the hope laid up for you in heaven. Of this you have heard before in the word of the truth, the gospel
6which has come to you, as indeed in the whole world it is bearing fruit and growing—so among yourselves, from the day you heard and understood the grace of God in truth,
7as you learned it from Epʹaphras our beloved fellow servant. He is a faithful minister of Christ on our behalf
8and has made known to us your love in the Spirit.
Responsorial Psalm
Psalms 52:10-11
8But I am like a green olive tree in the house of God. I trust in the steadfast love of God for ever and ever.
9I will thank thee for ever, because thou hast done it. I will proclaim thy name, for it is good, in the presence of the godly.
Gospel
Luke 4:38-44
38And he arose and left the synagogue, and entered Simon’s house. Now Simon’s mother-in-law was ill with a high fever, and they besought him for her.
39And he stood over her and rebuked the fever, and it left her; and immediately she rose and served them.
40Now when the sun was setting, all those who had any that were sick with various diseases brought them to him; and he laid his hands on every one of them and healed them.
41And demons also came out of many, crying, “You are the Son of God!” But he rebuked them, and would not allow them to speak, because they knew that he was the Christ.
42And when it was day he departed and went into a lonely place. And the people sought him and came to him, and would have kept him from leaving them;
43but he said to them, “I must preach the good news of the kingdom of God to the other cities also; for I was sent for this purpose.”
44And he was preaching in the synagogues of Judea.

2 Corinthians 4:1-2, 5-7
1Therefore, having this ministry by the mercy of God, we do not lose heart.
2We have renounced disgraceful, underhanded ways; we refuse to practice cunning or to tamper with God’s word, but by the open statement of the truth we would commend ourselves to every man’s conscience in the sight of God.
5For what we preach is not ourselves, but Jesus Christ as Lord, with ourselves as your servants for Jesus’ sake.
6For it is the God who said, “Let light shine out of darkness,” who has shone in our hearts to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Christ.
7But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, to show that the transcendent power belongs to God and not to us.
Responsorial Psalm
Psalms 96:1-3, 7-8, 10
1O sing to the LORD a new song; sing to the LORD, all the earth!
2Sing to the LORD, bless his name; tell of his salvation from day to day.
3Declare his glory among the nations, his marvelous works among all the peoples!
7Ascribe to the LORD, O families of the peoples, ascribe to the LORD glory and strength!
8Ascribe to the LORD the glory due his name; bring an offering, and come into his courts!
10Say among the nations, “The LORD reigns! Yea, the world is established, it shall never be moved; he will judge the peoples with equity.”
Gospel
Luke 22:24-30
24A dispute also arose among them, which of them was to be regarded as the greatest.
25And he said to them, “The kings of the Gentiles exercise lordship over them; and those in authority over them are called benefactors.
26But not so with you; rather let the greatest among you become as the youngest, and the leader as one who serves.
27For which is the greater, one who sits at table, or one who serves? Is it not the one who sits at table? But I am among you as one who serves.
28“You are those who have continued with me in my trials;
29as my Father appointed a kingdom for me, so do I appoint for you
30that you may eat and drink at my table in my kingdom, and sit on thrones judging the twelve tribes of Israel.
