First Reading
FIRST SAMUEL 3:3-10,
19
3 The lamp of God had
not yet gone out, and Samuel was lying in Yahweh's sanctuary, where the ark of
God was,
4 when Yahweh called,
'Samuel! Samuel!' He answered, 'Here I am,'
5 and, running to Eli,
he said, 'Here I am, as you called me.' Eli said, 'I did not call. Go back and
lie down.' So he went and lay down.
6 And again Yahweh
called, 'Samuel! Samuel!' He got up and went to Eli and said, 'Here I am, as you
called me.' He replied, 'I did not call, my son; go back and lie down.'
7 As yet, Samuel had no
knowledge of Yahweh and the word of Yahweh had not yet been revealed to him.
8 Again Yahweh called,
the third time. He got up and went to Eli and said, 'Here I am, as you called
me.' Eli then understood that Yahweh was calling the child,
9 and he said to
Samuel, 'Go and lie down, and if someone calls say, "Speak, Yahweh; for
your servant is listening." ' So Samuel went and lay down in his place.
10 Yahweh then came and
stood by, calling as he had done before, 'Samuel! Samuel!' Samuel answered,
'Speak, Yahweh; for your servant is listening.'
19 Samuel grew up.
Yahweh was with him and did not let a single word fall to the ground of all
that he had told him.

PSALMS 40:2, 4, 7-8,
8-9, 10
2 He pulled me up from
the seething chasm, from the mud of the mire. He set my feet on rock, and made
my footsteps firm.
4 How blessed are those
who put their trust in Yahweh, who have not sided with rebels and those who
have gone astray in falsehood.
7 then I said, 'Here I
am, I am coming.' In the scroll of the book it is written of me,
8 my delight is to do
your will; your law, my God, is deep in my heart.
9 I proclaimed the
saving justice of Yahweh in the great assembly. See, I will not hold my tongue,
as you well know.
10 I have not kept your
saving justice locked in the depths of my heart, but have spoken of your
constancy and saving help. I have made no secret of your faithful and steadfast
love, in the great assembly.
Second Reading
First Corinthians
6:13-15, 17-20
13 Foods are for the
stomach, and the stomach is for foods; and God will destroy them both. But the
body is not for sexual immorality;
14 it is for the Lord,
and the Lord is for the body. God raised up the Lord and he will raise us up
too by his power.
15 Do you not realise
that your bodies are members of Christ's body; do you think one can take parts
of Christ's body and join them to the body of a prostitute? Out of the
question!
17 But anyone who
attaches himself to the Lord is one spirit with him.
18 Keep away from sexual
immorality. All other sins that people may commit are done outside the body;
but the sexually immoral person sins against his own body.
19 Do you not realize
that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit, who is in you and whom you
received from God?
20 You are not your own
property, then; you have been bought at a price. So use your body for the glory
of God.

Gospel Reading
JOHN 1:35-42
35 The next day as John
stood there again with two of his disciples, Jesus went past,
36 and John looked
towards him and said, 'Look, there is the lamb of God.'
37 And the two disciples
heard what he said and followed Jesus.
38 Jesus turned round,
saw them following and said, 'What do you want?' They answered, 'Rabbi' --
which means Teacher -- 'where do you live?'
39 He replied, 'Come and
see'; so they went and saw where he lived, and stayed with him that day. It was
about the tenth hour.
40 One of these two who
became followers of Jesus after hearing what John had said was Andrew, the
brother of Simon Peter.
41 The first thing
Andrew did was to find his brother and say to him, 'We have found the Messiah'
-- which means the Christ-
42 and he took Simon to
Jesus. Jesus looked at him and said, 'You are Simon son of John; you are to be
called Cephas' -- which means Rock.
