First Reading
2 KINGS 5:14-17
14 So he went down and
immersed himself seven times in the Jordan, as Elisha had told him to do. And
his flesh became clean once more like the flesh of a little child.
15 Returning to Elisha
with his whole escort, he went in and, presenting himself, said, 'Now I know
that there is no God anywhere on earth except in Israel. Now, please, accept a
present from your servant.'
16 But Elisha replied,
'As Yahweh lives, whom I serve, I will accept nothing.' Naaman pressed him to
accept, but he refused.
17 Then Naaman said,
'Since your answer is "No," allow your servant to be given as much
earth as two mules may carry, since your servant will no longer make burnt
offerings or sacrifice to any god except Yahweh.

PSALMS 98:1-4
1 [Psalm] Sing a new
song to Yahweh, for he has performed wonders, his saving power is in his right
hand and his holy arm.
2 Yahweh has made known
his saving power, revealed his saving justice for the nations to see,
3 mindful of his
faithful love and his constancy to the House of Israel. The whole wide world
has seen the saving power of our God.
4 Acclaim Yahweh, all
the earth, burst into shouts of joy!
Second Reading
2 TIMOTHY 2:8-13
8 Remember the gospel
that I carry, 'Jesus Christ risen from the dead, sprung from the race of
David';
9 it is on account of
this that I have to put up with suffering, even to being chained like a
criminal. But God's message cannot be chained up.
10 So I persevere for
the sake of those who are chosen, so that they, too, may obtain the salvation
that is in Christ Jesus with eternal glory.
11 Here is a saying that
you can rely on: If we have died with him, then we shall live with him.
12 If we persevere, then
we shall reign with him. If we disown him, then he will disown us.
13 If we are faithless,
he is faithful still, for he cannot disown his own self.

Gospel Reading
LUKE 17:11-19
11 Now it happened that
on the way to Jerusalem he was travelling in the borderlands of Samaria and
Galilee.
12 As he entered one of
the villages, ten men suffering from a virulent skin-disease came to meet him.
They stood some way off
13 and called to him,
'Jesus! Master! Take pity on us.'
14 When he saw them he
said, 'Go and show yourselves to the priests.' Now as they were going away they
were cleansed.
15 Finding himself
cured, one of them turned back praising God at the top of his voice
16 and threw himself
prostrate at the feet of Jesus and thanked him. The man was a Samaritan.
17 This led Jesus to
say, 'Were not all ten made clean? The other nine, where are they?
18 It seems that no one
has come back to give praise to God, except this foreigner.'
19 And he said to the
man, 'Stand up and go on your way. Your faith has saved you.'
