18 Melchizedek king of

blessing: Blessed be Abram by God Most High, Creator of heaven and earth. And
blessed be God Most High for putting your enemies into your clutches.
20 And Abram gave him a
tenth of everything.

PSALMS 110:1-4
1 [Of David Psalm]
Yahweh declared to my Lord, 'Take your seat at my right hand, till I have made
your enemies your footstool.'
2 Yahweh will stretch
out the sceptre of your power; from Zion you will rule your foes all around
you.
3 Royal dignity has
been yours from the day of your birth, sacred honour from the womb, from the
dawn of your youth.
4 Yahweh has sworn an
oath he will never retract, you are a priest for ever of the order of
Melchizedek.
Second Reading
1 CORINTHIANS
11:23-26
23 For the tradition I
received from the Lord and also handed on to you is that on the night he was
betrayed, the Lord Jesus took some bread,
24 and after he had
given thanks, he broke it, and he said, 'This is my body, which is for you; do
this in remembrance of me.'
25 And in the same way,
with the cup after supper, saying, 'This cup is the new covenant in my blood.
Whenever you drink it, do this as a memorial of me.'

Gospel Reading
LUKE 9:11-17
11 But the crowds got to
know and they went after him. He made them welcome and talked to them about the
kingdom of God; and he cured those who were in need of healing.
12 It was late afternoon
when the Twelve came up to him and said, 'Send the people away, and they can go
to the villages and farms round about to find lodging and food; for we are in a
lonely place here.'
13 He replied, 'Give
them something to eat yourselves.' But they said, 'We have no more than five
loaves and two fish, unless we are to go ourselves and buy food for all these
people.'
14 For there were about
five thousand men. But he said to his disciples, 'Get them to sit down in
parties of about fifty.'
15 They did so and made
them all sit down.
16 Then he took the five
loaves and the two fish, raised his eyes to heaven, and said the blessing over
them; then he broke them and handed them to his disciples to distribute among
the crowd.
17 They all ate as much
as they wanted, and when the scraps left over were collected they filled twelve
baskets.
