New American Bible readings

First reading (Leviticus 13: 1–2 and 45–46)
A reading from the book of Leviticus.
The Lord said to Moses and Aaron, "If someone has on his skin a scab or pustule or blotch which appears to be the sore of leprosy, he shall be brought to Aaron, the priest, or to one of the priests among his descendants. If the man is leprous and unclean, the priest shall declare him unclean by reason of the sore on his head. "The one who bears the sore of leprosy shall keep his garments rent and his head bare, and shall muffle his beard; he shall cry out, 'Unclean, unclean!' As long as the sore is on him he shall declare himself unclean, since he is in fact unclean. He shall dwell apart, making his abode outside the camp."

Second reading (1 Corinthians: 10:31 – 11:1)
A reading from the first letter of Saint Paul to the Corinthians.
Brothers and sisters, whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do everything for the glory of God. Avoid giving offense, whether to the Jews or Greeks or the church of God, just as I try to please everyone in every way, not seeking my own benefit but that of the many, that they may be saved. Be imitators of me, as I am of Christ.

Gospel (Mark 1: 40–45)
A reading from the holy Gospel according to Mark.
A leper came to Jesus and kneeling down begged him and said, "If you wish, you can make me clean." Moved with pity, he stretched out his hand, touched him, and said to him, "I do will it. Be made clean." The leprosy left him immediately, and he was made clean. Then, warning the him sternly, he dismissed him at once. He said to him, "See that you tell no one anything, but go, show yourself to the priest and offer for your cleansing what Moses prescribed; that will be proof for them." The man went away and began to publicize the whole matter. He spread the report abroad so that it was impossible for Jesus to enter a town openly. He remained outside in deserted places, and people kept coming to him from everywhere.

Catholic Pastoral Edition Bible readings

First reading (Leviticus 13: 1–2 and 45–46)
A reading from the book of Leviticus.
The Lord stated to Moses and Aaron, "If some has a boil, an inflammation or a sore on his skin which could develop into leprosy, he must be brought to Aaron the priest, or to one of the priests, his descendants. A person infected with leprosy must wear torn clothing and leave his hair uncombed; he must cover his upper lip and cry, "Unclean, unclean." As along as the disease lasts he must be unclean; and therefore he must live away from others: he must live outside the camp.

Second reading (1 Corinthians: 10:31 – 11:1)
A reading from the first letter of Saint Paul to the Corinthians.
Whether you eat, or drink, or whatever you do, do it for the glory of God. Give no offense to the Jews, or to the Greeks, or to the Church of God, just as I try to please everyone in everything. I do not seek my own interest, but that if many, this is: that they be saved. Follow my example as I follow the example of Christ.

Gospel (Mark 1: 40–45)
A reading from the holy Gospel according to Mark.
A leper came to Jesus and implored him, "If you so will, you can make me clean." Moved with pity, Jesus stretch out his hand and touched him, saying, "I will; be clean." The leprosy left the man once and he was made clean. As Jesus sent the man away, he sternly warned him, "Do not tell anybody about this, but go and show yourself to the priest and for the cleansing bring the offering order by Moses; in this way you will make your declaration." However, as soon as the man went out, he began spreading the news everywhere, so that Jesus could no longer openly enter any town. But even though Jesus stayed in rural areas, people came to him from everywhere.

  1. Responsorial psalm (Psalm 32) (Verses 1–2, 5, and 11)
    The response is: I turn to you, Lord, in time of trouble, and you will fill me with joy of salvation.

    Blessed is the one whose sin is forgiven, whose iniquity is wiped away. Blessed are those in whom the Lord sees no guilt and in whose spirit is found no deceit.

    Then I made known to you my sin and uncovered before you my fault, saying to myself, "To the Lord I will now confess my wrong."

    Rejoice in the Lord, and be glad, you who are upright; sing and shout for joy, you who are clean of heart.

  3. Primera lectura (Levítico 13: 1–2 y 44–46)
    Una lectura del libro de Levítico.
    El Señor dijo a Moisés y a Aarón: "Cuando alguno tenga en su carne una o varias manchas escamosas o una mancha blanca y brillante, síntomas de la lepra, será llevado ante el sacerdote Aarón o ante cualquiera de sus hijos sacerdotes. Se trata de un leproso, y el sacerdote lo declarará impuro. El que haya sido declarado enfermo de lepra, traerá la ropa descosida, la cabeza descubierta, se cubrirá la boca e irá gritando: '¡Estoy contaminado! ¡Soy impuro!' Mientras le dure la lepra, seguirá impuro y vivirá solo, fuera del campamento."

    Salmo responsorial (Salmo 31) (Versículos 1–2, 5 y 11)
    La respuesta es: Perdona, Señor, nuestros pecados.
    • Dichoso aquel que ha sido absuelto de su culpa a su pecado. Dichoso aquel en el que Dios no encuentra ni delito ni engaño.
    • Ante el Señor reconocí mi culpa, no oculté mi pecado. Te confesé, Señor, mi gran delito y tú me has perdonado.
    • Alégrense con el Señor y regocíjense los justos todos, y todos los hombres de corazón sincero canten de gozo.

    Segunda lectura (1 Corintios 10:31 – 11:1)
    Una lectura de la primera carta del san Pablo a los corintios.
    Hermanos: Todo lo que hagan ustedes, sea comer, o beber, o cualquier otra cosa, háganlo todo para gloria de Dios. No den motivo de escándalo ni a los judíos, ni a los paganos, ni a la comunidad cristiana. Por mi parte, yo procuro dar gusto a todos en todo, sin buscar mi propio interés, sino el de los demás, para que se salven. Sean, pues, imitadores míos, como yo lo soy de Cristo.

    Evangelio (Marcos 1: 40–45)
    Una lectura del Evangelio Santo según el san Marcos.
    En aquel tiempo, se le acercó a Jesús un leproso para suplicarle de rodillas: "Si tú quieres, puedes curarme". Jesús se compadeció de él, y extendiendo la mano, lo tocó y le dijo: "¡Sí quiero: Sana!" Inmediatamente se le quitó la lepra y quedó limpio. Al despedirlo, Jesús le mandó con severidad: "No se lo cuentes a nadie; pero para que conste, ve a presentarte al sacerdote y ofrece por tu purificación lo prescrito por Moisés." Pero aquel hombre comenzó a divulgar tanto el hecho, que Jesús no podía ya entrar abiertamente en la ciudad, sino que se quedaba fuera, en lugares solitarios, a donde acudían a él de todas partes.

  4. Responsorial Psalm (Psalm 32) (Verses 1–2, 5, and 11)
    The response is: I turn to you, Lord, in time of trouble, and you fill me with the joy of salvation.

    Blessed is he whose fault is taken away, whose sin is covered. Blessed the man to whom the LORD imputes not guilt, in whose spirit there is no guile.

    Then I acknowledged my sin to you, my guilt I covered not. I said, “I confess my faults to the LORD,” and you took away the guilt of my sin.

    Be glad in the LORD and rejoice, you just; exult, all you upright of heart.

  5. Unang pagbabasa (Levitico 13: 1–2 at 44–46)
    Ang pagbabasa sa aklat ng Levitico.
    Sinabi ni Yahweh kina Moises at Aaron, “Kung ang balat ninuman ay mamaga, magnana o kaya'y magkaroon ng parang singaw, at ang mga ito'y maging sakit sa balat na parang ketong, dapat siyang dalhin kay Aaron o sa mga anak niyang pari. Ipahahayag ng pari na siya'y marumi dahil sa sakit sa balat na parang ketong na nasa kanyang ulo. “Ang taong may sakit sa balat na parang ketong ay dapat magsuot ng sirang damit, huwag mag-aayos ng buhok, tatakpan ang kanyang nguso at laging sisigaw ng, ‘Marumi ako! Marumi ako!’ Hangga't siya'y may sugat, ituturing siyang marumi at sa labas ng kampo maninirahang mag-isa.”

    Pangalawang pagbabasa (1 Corinto 10:31 – 11:1)
    Ang pagbabasa sa unang sulat ni San Pablo sa mga taga-Corinto.
    Kaya nga, kung kayo'y kumakain o umiinom, o anuman ang ginagawa ninyo, gawin ninyo ang lahat sa ikararangal ng Diyos. Huwag kayong maging sanhi ng pagkakasala ninuman, ng mga Judio, ng mga Hentil, o ng mga kaanib sa iglesya ng Diyos, sa halip, tularan ninyo ang ginagawa ko. Sinisikap kong mabigyang kasiyahan ang lahat ng tao sa bawat ginagawa ko. Hindi ko inuuna ang sarili kong kapakanan kundi ang kapakanan ng marami, upang maligtas sila. Tularan ninyo ako, gaya ng pagtulad ko kay Cristo.

    Ebanghelyo (Marcos 1: 40–45)
    Ang magandang balita ayon kay San Marcos.
    Isang taong may ketong ang lumapit kay Jesus. Lumuhod ito at nagmakaawa, “Kung nais po ninyo, ako'y inyong mapapagaling at magagawang malinis.” Nahabag si Jesus sa ketongin kaya't hinawakan niya ito at sinabi, “Oo, nais ko! Gumaling ka!” Noon di'y nawala ang ketong ng lalaki at siya'y naging malinis. Matapos mapagbilinan, agad siyang pinaalis ni Jesus at pinagsabihan ng ganito: “Huwag mong sasabihin ito kaninuman. Sa halip ay magpunta ka at magpasuri sa pari. Pagkatapos, mag-alay ka ng handog para sa Diyos ayon sa iniutos ni Moises bilang patunay sa mga tao na ikaw ay magaling at malinis na.” Ngunit pagkaalis ng lalaki ay kanyang ipinamalita ang nangyari sa kanya. Dahil dito, hindi na nakapasok pa ng bayan si Jesus. Nanatili na lamang siya sa mga hindi mataong lugar, subalit pinupuntahan pa rin siya ng mga tao mula sa iba't ibang dako.
