First Reading
DEUTERONOMY 18:15-20
15 Yahweh your God will
raise up a prophet like me; you will listen to him.
16 This is exactly what
you asked Yahweh your God to do -- at Horeb, on the day of the Assembly, when
you said, "Never let me hear the voice of Yahweh my God or see this great
fire again, or I shall die."
17 Then Yahweh said to
me,
18 "What they have
said is well said. From their own brothers I shall raise up a prophet like
yourself;
19 I shall put my words
into his mouth and he will tell them everything I command him. Anyone who
refuses to listen to my words, spoken by him in my name, will have to render an
account to me.
20 But the prophet who
presumes to say something in my name which I have not commanded him to say, or
who speaks in the name of other gods, that prophet must die."

Word of the Lord”
PSALMS 95:1-2, 6-7,
7-9
1 Come, let us cry out
with joy to Yahweh, acclaim the rock of our salvation.
2 Let us come into his
presence with thanksgiving, acclaim him with music.
6 Come, let us bow low
and do reverence; kneel before Yahweh who made us!
7 For he is our God,
and we the people of his sheepfold, the flock of his hand. If only you would
listen to him today!
8 Do not harden your
hearts as at Meribah, as at the time of Massah in the desert,
9 when your ancestors
challenged me, put me to the test, and saw what I could do!
Second Reading
First Corinthians
7:32-35
32 I should like you to
have your minds free from all worry. The unmarried man gives his mind to the
Lord's affairs and to how he can please the Lord;
33 but the man who is
married gives his mind to the affairs of this world and to how he can please
his wife, and he is divided in mind.
34 So, too, the
unmarried woman, and the virgin, gives her mind to the Lord's affairs and to
being holy in body and spirit; but the married woman gives her mind to the
affairs of this world and to how she can please her husband.
35 I am saying this only
to help you, not to put a bridle on you, but so that everything is as it should
be, and you are able to give your undivided attention to the Lord.

Gospel Reading
MARK 1:21-28
21 They went as far as
Capernaum, and at once on the Sabbath he went into the synagogue and began to
teach.
22 And his teaching made
a deep impression on them because, unlike the scribes, he taught them with
authority.
23 And at once in their
synagogue there was a man with an unclean spirit, and he shouted,
24 'What do you want
with us, Jesus of Nazareth? Have you come to destroy us? I know who you are:
the Holy One of God.'
25 But Jesus rebuked it
saying, 'Be quiet! Come out of him!'
26 And the unclean
spirit threw the man into convulsions and with a loud cry went out of him.
27 The people were so
astonished that they started asking one another what it all meant, saying,
'Here is a teaching that is new, and with authority behind it: he gives orders
even to unclean spirits and they obey him.'
28 And his reputation at
once spread everywhere, through all the surrounding Galilean countryside.
