## Readings of the day

- Epistle

  1 Corinthians 10:23–28

  **Show the text**

  23 “All things are lawful for me,” but not all things are profitable. “All things are lawful for me,” but not all things build up.

  24 Let no one seek his own, but each one his neighbor’s good.

  25 Whatever is sold in the butcher shop, eat, asking no question for the sake of conscience,

  26 for “the earth is the Lord’s, and its fullness.”

  27 But if one of those who don’t believe invites you to a meal, and you are inclined to go, eat whatever is set before you, asking no questions for the sake of conscience.

  28 But if anyone says to you, “This was offered to idols,” don’t eat it for the sake of the one who told you, and for the sake of conscience. For “the earth is the Lord’s, with all its fullness.”

- Gospel

  Luke 4:31–36

  **Show the text**

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

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

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

  34 saying, “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!”

  35 Jesus 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.

  36 Amazement 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!”
