Readings of the day

• Epistle

  1 Corinthians 15:39–45

  Show the text

  ³⁹All flesh is not the same flesh, but there is one flesh of men, another flesh of animals, another of fish, and another of birds.

  ⁴⁰There are also celestial bodies and terrestrial bodies; but the glory of the celestial differs from that of the terrestrial.

  ⁴¹There is one glory of the sun, another glory of the moon, and another glory of the stars; for one star differs from another star in glory.

  ⁴²So also is the resurrection of the dead. The body is sown perishable; it is raised imperishable.

  ⁴³It is sown in dishonor; it is raised in glory. It is sown in weakness; it is raised in power.

  ⁴⁴It is sown a natural body; it is raised a spiritual body. There is a natural body and there is also a spiritual body.

  ⁴⁵So also it is written, “The first man, Adam, became a living soul.” The last Adam became a life-giving spirit.

• Gospel

  ³¹He came down to Capernaum, a city of Galilee. He was teaching them on the Sabbath day,

  ³²and they were astonished at his teaching, for his word was with authority.

  ³³In the synagogue there was a man who had a spirit of an unclean demon, and he cried out with a loud voice,

  ³⁴saying, “Ah! what have we to do with you, Jesus of Nazareth? Have you come to destroy us? I know who you are: the Holy One of God!”

  ³⁵Jesus rebuked him, saying, “Be silent, and come out of him!” When the demon had thrown him down in the middle of them, he came out of him, having done him no harm.

  ³⁶Amazement came on all, and they spoke together, one with another, saying, “What is this word? For with authority and power he commands the unclean spirits, and they come out!”
