    1 Corinthians 5:1-8
    0:00
    1 corinthians 5

    1It is actually reported that there is sexual immorality among you, and such sexual immorality as is not even named among the Gentiles, that one has his father's wife.

    2You are arrogant, and didn't mourn instead, that he who had done this deed might be removed from among you.

    3For I most certainly, as being absent in body but present in spirit, have already, as though I were present, judged him who has done this thing.

    4In the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, when you are gathered together with my spirit with the power of our Lord Jesus Christ,

    5you are to deliver such a one to Satan for the destruction of the flesh, that the spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord Jesus.

    6Your boasting is not good. Don't you know that a little yeast leavens the whole lump?

    7Purge out the old yeast, that you may be a new lump, even as you are unleavened. For indeed Christ, our Passover, has been sacrificed in our place.

    8Therefore let's keep the feast, not with old yeast, neither with the yeast of malice and wickedness, but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth.

    Responsorial Psalm

    Psalms 5:5-6, 7, 12
    1:24
    psalms 5

    5For you are not a God who has pleasure in wickedness. Evil can't live with you.

    6The arrogant will not stand in your sight. You hate all workers of iniquity.

    7You will destroy those who speak lies. The LORD abhors the bloodthirsty and deceitful man.

    12But let all those who take refuge in you rejoice. Let them always shout for joy, because you defend them. Let them also who love your name be joyful in you.

    Gospel

    Luke 6:6-11
    2:07
    luke 6

    6It also happened on another Sabbath that he entered into the synagogue and taught. There was a man there, and his right hand was withered.

    7The scribes and the Pharisees watched him, to see whether he would heal on the Sabbath, that they might find an accusation against him.

    8But he knew their thoughts; and he said to the man who had the withered hand, "Rise up and stand in the middle." He arose and stood.

    9Then Jesus said to them, "I will ask you something: Is it lawful on the Sabbath to do good, or to do harm? To save a life, or to kill?"

    10He looked around at them all, and said to the man, "Stretch out your hand." He did, and his hand was restored as sound as the other.

    11But they were filled with rage, and talked with one another about what they might do to Jesus.
