New American Bible readings
First reading (1 Samuel 3: 3B–10)
A reading from the first book of Samuel.
Samuel was sleeping in the temple of the LORD where the ark of God was. The LORD called to Samuel, who answered, "Here I am." Samuel ran to Eli and said, "Here I am. You called me." "I did not call you, " Eli said. "Go back to sleep." So he went back to sleep. Again the LORD called Samuel, who rose and went to Eli. "Here I am, " he said. "You called me." But Eli answered, "I did not call you, my son. Go back to sleep." At that time Samuel was not familiar with the LORD, because the LORD had not revealed anything to him as yet. The LORD called Samuel again, for the third time. Getting up and going to Eli, he said, "Here I am. You called me." Then Eli understood that the LORD was calling the youth. So he said to Samuel, "Go to sleep, and if you are called, reply, Speak, LORD, for your servant is listening." When Samuel went to sleep in his place, the LORD came and revealed his presence, calling out as before, "Samuel, Samuel!" Samuel answered, "Speak, for your servant is listening." Samuel grew up, and the LORD was with him, not permitting any word of his to be without effect.

Second reading (1 Corinthians 6: 13C–15A and 17–20)
A reading from the first letter of Saint Paul to the Corinthians.
Brothers and sisters: The body is not for immorality, but for the Lord, and the Lord is for the body; God raised the Lord and will also raise us by his power. Do you not know that your bodies are members of Christ? But whoever is joined to the Lord becomes one Spirit with him. Avoid immorality. Every other sin a person commits is outside the body, but the immoral person sins against his own body. Do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit within you, whom you have from God, and that you are not your own? For you have been purchased at a price. Therefore glorify God in your body.

Gospel (John 1: 35–42)
A reading from the holy Gospel according to John.
John was standing with two of his disciples, and as he watched Jesus walk by, he said, "Behold, the Lamb of God." The two disciples heard what he said and followed Jesus. Jesus turned and saw them following him and said to them, "What are you looking for?" They said to him, "Rabbi" — which translated means Teacher —,"where are you staying?" He said to them, "Come, and you will see." So they went and saw where Jesus was staying, and they stayed with him that day. It was about four in the afternoon. Andrew, the brother of Simon Peter, was one of the two who heard John and followed Jesus. He first found his own brother Simon and told him, "We have found the Messiah" — which is translated Christ. Then he brought him to Jesus. Jesus looked at him and said, "You are Simon the son of John; you will be called Cephas" — which is translated Peter.

Catholic Pastoral Edition Bible readings
First reading (1 Samuel 3: 3–10 and 19)
A reading from the first book of Samuel.
The lamp of God was still lighted and Samuel also lay in the house of the Lord near the ark of God. Then the Lord called, "Samuel! Samuel!" Samuel answered, "I am here!" and ran to Eli stating, "I am here, did you not call me?" But Eli stated, "I did not call, go back to sleep." So he went and lay down. Then the Lord called again, "Samuel!" and Samuel stood up and went to Eli stating, "You called me; I am here." But Eli answered, "I did not call you, my son. Go back to sleep." Samuel did not yet know that the Lord and the word of the Lord had not yet been revealed to him. But the Lord called Samuel for the third time and, as he went again to Eli stating, "I am here for you have called me," Eli realized that it was the Lord calling the boy. So he stated to Samuel, "Go, lie down, and if he calls you again, answer: "Speak, Lord, your servant listens." Then the Lord came and stood there calling as he did before, "Samuel! Samuel!" And Samuel answered, "Speak, Lord, for your servant listens." Samuel grew; the Lord was with him and made all his words become true.

Second reading (1 Corinthians 6: 13–15 and 17–20)
A reading from the first letter of Saint Paul to the Corinthians.
Food is for the stomach, as the stomach is for food, and God will destroy them both. Yet the body is not for sex, but for the Lord; and the Lord is for the body. And God who raised the Lord, will also raise us with his power. Do you not know that your bodies are members of Christ? And you would make that part of his body become part of a prostitute? Never! On the contrary, anyone united to the Lord becomes one spirit with him. Avoid unlawful sex entirely. Any other sin a person commits is outside the body but those who commit sexual immorality sin against their own body. Do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit within you, given by God? You belong no longer to yourselves. Remember at what price you have been bought and make your body serve the glory of God.

Gospel (John 1: 35–42)
A reading from the holy Gospel according to John.
On the following day John was standing there with two of his disciples. As Jesus walked by, John looked at him and stated, "There is the Lamb of God." On hearing this, the two disciples followed Jesus. He turned and saw them following, and he stated to them, "What are you looking for?" They answered, "Rabbi (which means Master), where are you staying?" Jesus stated, "Come and see." So they went and saw where he stayed and spent the rest of that day with him. It was about four o'clock in the afternoon. Andrew, the brother of Simon Peter, was one of the two who heard what John had stated and followed Jesus. Early the next morning he found his brother Simon had stated to him, "We have found the Messiah" (which means the Christ), and he brought Simon to Jesus. Jesus looked at him and stated, "You are Simon, son of John, but you shall be called Cephas" (which means Rock).

  1. Responsorial Psalm (Psalm 40) (Verses 2, 4a and 7–10)
    The response is: Here I am, Lord; I come to do your will.

    With resolve I waited for the Lord; he listened and heard me beg. He put a new song in my mouth, a song of praise to our God.

    Sacrifice and oblation you did not desire; this you had me understand. Burnt offering and sin offering you do not require. Then I stated, "Here I come!"

    "As the scroll says of me; to do your will is my delight, O God, for your law is within my heart."

    In the great assembly I have proclaimed your saving help. My lips, O Lord, I did not seal — you know that very well.

  2. Responsorial Psalm (Psalm 40) (Verses 2, 4 and 7–10)
    The response is: Here am I, Lord; I come to do your will.

    I have waited, waited for the LORD, and he stooped toward me and heard my cry. And he put a new song into my mouth, a hymn to our God.

    Sacrifice or offering you wished not, but ears open to obedience you gave me. Holocausts or sin-offerings you sought not; then said I, “Behold I come.”

    “In the written scroll it is prescribed for me, to do your will, O my God, is my delight, and your law is within my heart!”

    I announced your justice in the vast assembly; I did not restrain my lips, as you, O LORD, know.

  4. Primera lectura (1 Samuel 3: 3–10 y 19)
    Una lectura del primer libro de Samuel.
    Todavía no se había apagado la lámpara de Dios y Samuel estaba acostado en el santuario de Yahvé, allí donde estaba el arca de Dios. Yahvé lo llamó: “¡Samuel! ¡Samuel!” Respondió: “Aquí estoy.” Corrió donde Elí y le dijo: “Aquí estoy ya que me llamaste.” Elí le respondió: “Yo no te he llamado, vuelve a acostarte.” Y Samuel se fue a acostar. Yahvé lo llamó de nuevo: “¡Samuel! ¡Samuel!” Se levantó y se presentó ante Elí: “Aquí estoy, le dijo, puesto que tú me llamaste.” Elí le respondió: “Yo no te he llamado, hijo mío, vuelve a acostarte.” Samuel no conocía todavía a Yahvé: la palabra de Yahvé no le había sido todavía revelada. Cuando Yahvé llamó a Samuel por tercera vez, se levantó y fue a ver a Elí: “Aquí estoy, le dijo, ya que me llamaste.” Elí comprendió entonces que era Yahvé quien llamaba al muchacho, y dijo a Samuel: “Anda a acostarte; si te llaman, responde: “Habla, Yahvé, que tu servidor escucha.” Y Samuel volvió a acostarse. Yahvé entró, se detuvo y llamó igual que las veces anteriores: “¡Samuel! ¡Samuel!” Samuel respondió: “Habla, que tu servidor escucha.” Samuel había crecido; Yahvé estaba con él y sus palabras nunca dejaban de cumplirse.

    Salmo responsorial (Salmo 40) (Versículos 2, 4ª y 7–10)
    La respuesta es: Aquí estoy, Señor; he venido para hacer tu voluntad.
    • Esperé confiadamente en el Señor: él se inclinó hacia mí y escuchó mi clamor. Puso en mi boca un canto nuevo, un himno a nuestro Dios.
    • Tú no quisiste víctima ni oblación; pero me diste un oído atento; no pediste holocaustos ni sacrificios, entonces dije: “Aquí estoy.”
    • “En el libro de la Ley está escrito lo que tengo que hacer: yo amo. Dios mío, tu voluntad, y tu ley está en mi corazón.”
    • Proclamé gozosamente tu justicia en la gran asamblea; no, no mantuve cerrados mis labios, tú lo sabes, Señor.

    Segunda lectura (1 Corintios 6: 13–15 y 17–20)
    Una lectura de la primera carta de San Pablo a los corintios.
    Los alimentos son para el estómago y el estómago para los alimentos, y Dios destruirá a ambos. Pero el cuerpo no es para la fornicación, sino para el Señor, y el Señor es para el cuerpo. Y Dios que resucitó al Señor, nos resucitará también a nosotros con su poder. ¿No saben acaso que sus cuerpos son miembros de Cristo? ¿Cómo voy a tomar los miembros de Cristo para convertirlos en miembros de una prostituta? De ninguna manera. En cambio, el que se une al Señor se hace un solo espíritu con él. Eviten la fornicación. Cualquier otro pecado cometido por el hombre es exterior a su cuerpo, pero el que fornica peca contra su propio cuerpo. ¿O no saben que sus cuerpos son templo del espíritu Santo, que habita en ustedes y que han recibido de Dios? Por lo tanto, ustedes no se pertenecen, sino que han sido comprados, ¡y a qué precio! Glorifiquen entonces a Dios en sus cuerpos.

    Evangelio (Juan 1: 35–42)
    Una lectura del Evangelio Santo según el San Juan.
    El día siguiente, estaba Juan otra vez allí con dos de sus discípulos y, mirando a Jesús que pasaba, dijo: “Este es el Cordero de Dios.” Los dos discípulos, al oírlo hablar así, siguieron a Jesús. Él se dio vuelta y, viendo que lo seguían, les preguntó: “¿Qué quieren?” Ellos le respondieron: “Rabí, (que traducido significa Maestro) ¿dónde vives?” “Vengan y lo verán,” les dijo. Fueron, vieron dónde vivía y se quedaron con él ese día. Era alrededor de las cuatro de la tarde. Uno de los dos que oyeron las palabras de Juan y siguieron a Jesús era Andrés, el hermano de Simón Pedro. Al primero que encontró fue a su propio hermano Simón, y le dijo “Hemos encontrado al Mesías,” que traducido significa Cristo. Entonces lo llevó a donde estaba Jesús. Jesús lo miró y le dijo: “Tú eres Simón, el hijo de Juan: tú te llamarás Cefas,” que traducido significa Pedro.

  5. Bacaan pertama (1 Samuel 3: 3–10 dan 19)
    Pembacaan dari kitab pertama dari Samuel.
    Lampu rumah Allah belum lagi padam. Samuel telah tidur di dalam bait suci TUHAN, tempat tabut Allah. Lalu TUHAN memanggil: "Samuel! Samuel!", dan ia menjawab: "Ya, bapa." Lalu berlarilah ia kepada Eli, serta katanya: "Ya, bapa, bukankah bapa memanggil aku?" Tetapi Eli berkata: "Aku tidak memanggil; tidurlah kembali." Lalu pergilah ia tidur. Dan TUHAN memanggil Samuel sekali lagi. Samuelpun bangunlah, lalu pergi mendapatkan Eli serta berkata: "Ya, bapa, bukankah bapa memanggil aku?" Tetapi Eli berkata: "Aku tidak memanggil, anakku; tidurlah kembali." Samuel belum mengenal TUHAN; firman TUHAN belum pernah dinyatakan kepadanya. Dan TUHAN memanggil Samuel sekali lagi, untuk ketiga kalinya. Iapun bangunlah, lalu pergi mendapatkan Eli serta katanya: "Ya, bapa, bukankah bapa memanggil aku?" Lalu mengertilah Eli, bahwa Tuhanlah yang memanggil anak itu. Sebab itu berkatalah Eli kepada Samuel: "Pergilah tidur dan apabila Ia memanggil engkau, katakanlah: Berbicaralah, TUHAN, sebab hamba-Mu ini mendengar." Maka pergilah Samuel dan tidurlah ia di tempat tidurnya. Lalu datanglah TUHAN, berdiri di sana dan memanggil seperti yang sudah-sudah: "Samuel! Samuel!" Dan Samuel menjawab: "Berbicaralah, sebab hamba-Mu ini mendengar." Dan Samuel makin besar dan TUHAN menyertai dia dan tidak ada satupun dari firman-Nya itu yang dibiarkan-Nya gugur.

    Mazmur (Mazmur 40) (Ayat 2, 4A dan 7–10)
    Tanggapan adalah: Inilah aku, Tuhan. Aku datang untuk melakukan kehendak-Mu.
    — Aku sangat menanti-nantikan TUHAN; lalu Ia menjenguk kepadaku dan mendengar teriakku minta tolong. Ia memberikan nyanyian baru dalam mulutku untuk memuji Allah kita.
    — Engkau tidak berkenan kepada korban sembelihan dan korban sajian, tetapi Engkau telah membuka telingaku; korban bakaran dan korban penghapus dosa tidak Engkau tuntut. Lalu aku berkata: "Sungguh, aku datang.
    — Dalam gulungan kitab ada tertulis tentang aku; aku suka melakukan kehendak-Mu, ya Allahku; Taurat-Mu ada dalam dadaku."
    — Aku mengabarkan keadilan dalam jemaah yang besar; bahkan tidak kutahan bibirku, Engkau juga yang tahu, ya TUHAN.

    Bacaan kedua (1 Korintus 6: 13–15 dan 17–20)
    Pembacaan dari surat Paulus yang pertama kepada jemaat di Korintus.
    Makanan adalah untuk perut dan perut untuk makanan: tetapi kedua-duanya akan dibinasakan Allah. Tetapi tubuh bukanlah untuk percabulan, melainkan untuk Tuhan, dan Tuhan untuk tubuh. Allah, yang membangkitkan Tuhan, akan membangkitkan kita juga oleh kuasa-Nya. Tidak tahukah kamu, bahwa tubuhmu adalah anggota Kristus? Akan kuambilkah anggota Kristus untuk menyerahkannya kepada percabulan? Sekali-kali tidak! Tetapi siapa yang mengikatkan dirinya pada Tuhan, menjadi satu roh dengan Dia. Jauhkanlah dirimu dari percabulan! Setiap dosa lain yang dilakukan manusia, terjadi di luar dirinya. Tetapi orang yang melakukan percabulan berdosa terhadap dirinya sendiri. Atau tidak tahukah kamu, bahwa tubuhmu adalah bait Roh Kudus yang diam di dalam kamu, Roh Kudus yang kamu peroleh dari Allah, dan bahwa kamu bukan milik kamu sendiri? Sebab kamu telah dibeli dan harganya telah lunas dibayar: Karena itu muliakanlah Allah dengan tubuhmu!

    1. Bacaan Injil (Yohanes 1: 35–42)
      Pembacaan dari Injil kudus menurut Santo Yohanes.
      Pada keesokan harinya Yohanes berdiri di situ pula dengan dua orang muridnya. Dan ketika ia melihat Yesus lewat, ia berkata: "Lihatlah Anak domba Allah!" Kedua murid itu mendengar apa yang dikatakannya itu, lalu mereka pergi mengikut Yesus. Tetapi Yesus menoleh ke belakang. Ia melihat, bahwa mereka mengikut Dia lalu berkata kepada mereka: "Apakah yang kamu cari?" Kata mereka kepada-Nya: "Rabi (artinya: Guru), di manakah Engkau tinggal?" Ia berkata kepada mereka: "Marilah dan kamu akan melihatnya." Merekapun datang dan melihat di mana Ia tinggal, dan hari itu mereka tinggal bersama-sama dengan Dia; waktu itu kira-kira pukul empat. Salah seorang dari keduanya yang mendengar perkataan Yohanes lalu mengikut Yesus adalah Andreas, saudara Simon Petrus. Andreas mula-mula bertemu dengan Simon, saudaranya, dan ia berkata kepadanya: "Kami telah menemukan Mesias (artinya: Kristus)." Ia membawanya kepada Yesus. Yesus memandang dia dan berkata: "Engkau Simon, anak Yohanes, engkau akan dinamakan Kefas (artinya: Petrus)."

  6. Unang pagbabasa (1 Samuel 3: 3–10 at 19)
    Ang pagbabasa sa aklat ni Samuel.
    Si Samuel ay natutulog naman sa santuwaryo, kung saan naroroon din ang Kaban ng Tipan. Bago magmadaling-araw at may sindi pa ang ilawan sa santuwaryo, siya'y tinawag ni Yahweh, “Samuel, Samuel!” “Narito po ako,” sagot niya. Patakbo siyang lumapit kay Eli at sinabi, “Bakit po?” Sinabi ni Eli, “Hindi kita tinatawag. Matulog ka na uli.” Nagbalik nga siya sa kanyang higaan. Subalit tinawag siyang muli ni Yahweh, “Samuel!” Bumangon siya, lumapit muli kay Eli at nagtanong, “Tinatawag po ba ninyo ako?” Sinabi ni Eli, “Hindi kita tinatawag, anak. Matulog ka na.” Hindi pa kilala noon ni Samuel si Yahweh sapagkat hindi pa ito nagpahayag sa kanya. Sa ikatlong pagtawag ni Yahweh, muling lumapit si Samuel kay Eli at sinabi, “Narinig ko pong tinawag ninyo ako.” Sa pagkakataong iyon, naunawaan ni Eli na si Yahweh ang tumatawag sa bata, kaya sinabi niya, “Mahiga kang muli at kapag narinig mo pang tinawag ka, ganito ang sabihin mo: ‘Magsalita po kayo, Yahweh. Nakikinig po ang inyong lingkod.’” At muli ngang nahiga si Samuel. Si Yahweh ay lumapit kay Samuel at muli itong tinawag, “Samuel, Samuel!” Sumagot si Samuel, “Magsalita po kayo, nakikinig ang inyong lingkod.” Habang lumalaki si Samuel, patuloy siyang pinapatnubayan ni Yahweh, at nagkakatotoo ang lahat ng sinasabi niya.

    Pangalawang pagbabasa (1 Corinto 6: 13–15 at 17–20)
    Ang pagbabasa sa unang sulat ni San Pablo sa mga taga-Corinto.
    Sasabihin naman ng iba, “Ang pagkain ay para sa tiyan at ang tiyan ay para sa pagkain.” Totoo iyan, ngunit parehong sisirain ng Diyos ang mga ito. Ang katawan ay hindi para sa imoralidad sapagkat ito'y para sa paglilingkod sa Panginoon, at ang Panginoon naman ang nag-aalaga sa katawan. Muling binuhay ng Diyos si Jesu-Cristo, at tayo man ay muling bubuhayin sa pamamagitan ng kanyang kapangyarihan. Hindi ba ninyo alam na ang inyong mga katawan ay mga bahagi ng katawan ni Cristo? Kukunin ko ba ang bahagi ng katawan ni Cristo upang gawing bahagi ng katawan ng isang babaing nagbebenta ng aliw? Hinding-hindi! Ang nakikipag-isa sa Panginoon ay nakikipag-isa sa kanya sa espiritu. Iwasan ninyo ang imoralidad. Ang ibang kasalanang nagagawa ng tao ay hindi nakakasira sa katawan, ngunit ang gumagawa ng imoralidad ay nagkakasala laban sa sarili niyang katawan. Hindi ba ninyo alam na ang inyong katawan ay templo ng Espiritu Santo na nasa inyo at ipinagkaloob ng Diyos sa inyo? Hindi ninyo pag-aari ang inyong katawan; sapagkat binili na kayo sa isang halaga. Kaya't gamitin ninyo ang inyong katawan upang maparangalan ang Diyos.

    Ebanghelyo (Juan 1: 35–42)
    Ang magandang balita ayon kay San Juan.
    Kinabukasan, naroon muli si Juan kasama ang dalawa sa kanyang mga alagad. Nang makita niya si Jesus na nagdaraan ay kanyang sinabi, “Tingnan ninyo, siya ang Kordero ng Diyos!” Narinig ng dalawang alagad ang sinabi niya, kaya't sumunod sila kay Jesus. Lumingon si Jesus, at nang makita niyang sumusunod sa kanya ang mga ito, sila'y tinanong niya, “Ano ang kailangan ninyo?” Sumagot sila, “Saan po kayo nakatira, Rabi?” Ang kahulugan ng salitang ito'y Guro. “Halikayo at tingnan ninyo,” sabi ni Jesus. Sumama sila kay Jesus at nakita nila ang kanyang tinitirhan; at tumuloy sila roon nang araw na iyon. Noo'y mag-aalas kuwatro na ng hapon. Ang isa sa dalawang alagad na nakarinig kay Juan at sumunod kay Jesus ay si Andres na kapatid ni Simon Pedro. Unang hinanap ni Andres ang kanyang kapatid na si Simon. Sinabi niya rito, “Nakita na namin ang Mesiyas!” Ang kahulugan ng salitang ito'y Cristo. At isinama ni Andres si Simon kay Jesus. Tiningnan ni Jesus si Simon at sinabi sa kanya, “Ikaw ay si Simon na anak ni Juan. Ikaw ay tatawaging Cefas” (na ang katumbas ay Pedro).
