First Reading
5For he didn’t subject the world to come, of which we speak, to angels.
6But one has somewhere testified, saying,
“What is man, that you think of him?
Or the son of man, that you care for him?
7You made him a little lower than the angels.
You crowned him with glory and honor.
8You have put all things in subjection under his feet.”
For in that he subjected all things to him, he left nothing that is not subject to him. But now we don’t yet see all things subjected to him.
9But we see him who has been made a little lower than the angels, Jesus, because of the suffering of death crowned with glory and honor, that by the grace of God he should taste of death for everyone. 10For it became him, for whom are all things and through whom are all things, in bringing many children to glory, to make the author of their salvation perfect through sufferings. 11For both he who sanctifies and those who are sanctified are all from one, for which cause he is not ashamed to call them brothers,
12saying,
“I will declare your name to my brothers.
Among the congregation I will sing your praise.”
Responsorial Psalm
1LORD, our Lord, how majestic is your name in all the earth!
You have set your glory above the heavens!
4what is man, that you think of him?
What is the son of man, that you care for him?
5For you have made him a little lower than the angels,
and crowned him with glory and honor.
6You make him ruler over the works of your hands.
You have put all things under his feet:
7All sheep and cattle,
yes, and the animals of the field,
8the birds of the sky, the fish of the sea,
and whatever passes through the paths of the seas.
Gospel
21They went into Capernaum, and immediately on the Sabbath day he entered into the synagogue and taught. 22They were astonished at his teaching, for he taught them as having authority, and not as the scribes. 23Immediately there was in their synagogue a man with an unclean spirit, and he cried out, 24saying, “Ha! What do we have to do with you, Jesus, you Nazarene? Have you come to destroy us? I know who you are: the Holy One of God!” 25Jesus rebuked him, saying, “Be quiet, and come out of him!” 26The unclean spirit, convulsing him and crying with a loud voice, came out of him. 27They were all amazed, so that they questioned among themselves, saying, “What is this? What can this new doctrine be? For with authority he commands even the unclean spirits, and they obey him!” 28The report of him went out immediately into all the region of Galilee and its surrounding area.
