FIRST READING Jeremiah 28: 5-9

A reading from the book of the prophet Jeremiah.

The prophet Jeremiah spoke to the prophet Hananiah in the presence of the priests and all the people who were standing in the house of the Lord; and the prophet Jeremiah said, ‘Amen!  May the Lord do so; may the Lord fulfil the words that you have prophesied, and bring back to this place from Babylon the vessels of the house of the Lord, and all the exiles. But listen now to this word that I speak in your hearing and in the hearing of all the people. The prophets who preceded you and me from ancient times prophesied war, famine, and pestilence against many countries and great kingdoms. As for the prophet who prophesies peace, when the word of that prophet comes true, then it will be known that the Lord has truly sent the prophet.’

Here ends the first reading.

PSALM 89: 1-4, 15-18

1.  My song shall be alway of the loving-kindness of the Lord : with my mouth will I ever be shewing thy truth from one generation to another.

2.  For I have said, Mercy shall be set up for ever : thy truth shalt thou stablish in the heavens.

3.  I have made a covenant with my chosen : I have sworn unto David my servant;

4.  Thy seed will I stablish for ever : and set up thy throne from one generation to another.

15.  Righteousness and equity are the habitation of thy seat : mercy and truth shall go before thy face.

16.  Blessed is the people, O Lord, that can rejoice in thee : they shall walk in the light of thy countenance.

17.  Their delight shall be daily in thy Name : and in thy righteousness shall they make their boast.

18.  For thou art the glory of their strength : and in thy loving-kindness thou shalt lift up our horns.

Glory be to the Father and to the Son, and to the Holy Ghost. As it was in the beginning, is now

and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.

SECOND READING  Matthew 10.40–end

A reading from the gospel according to Matthew.

Jesus said to the twelve: ‘Whoever welcomes you welcomes me, and whoever welcomes me

welcomes the one who sent me. Whoever welcomes a prophet in the name of a prophet

will receive a prophet’s reward; and whoever welcomes a righteous person in the name of a righteous person will receive the reward of the righteous; and whoever gives even a cup of cold water to one of these little ones in the name of a disciple – truly I tell you, none of these will lose their reward.’
