Gospel, Luke 7:11-17

¹¹ It happened that soon afterwards he went to a town called Nain, accompanied by his disciples and a great number of people.

¹² Now when he was near the gate of the town there was a dead man being carried out, the only son of his mother, and she was a widow. And a considerable number of the townspeople was with her.

¹³ When the Lord saw her he felt sorry for her and said to her, 'Don't cry.'

¹⁴ Then he went up and touched the bier and the bearers stood still, and he said, 'Young man, I tell you: get up.'

¹⁵ And the dead man sat up and began to talk, and Jesus gave him to his mother.

¹⁶ Everyone was filled with awe and glorified God saying, 'A great prophet has risen up among us; God has visited his people.'

¹⁷ And this view of him spread throughout Judaea and all over the countryside.

Reading 2, Galatians 1:11-19

¹¹ Now I want to make it quite clear to you, brothers, about the gospel that was preached by me, that it was no human message.

¹² It was not from any human being that I received it, and I was not taught it, but it came to me through a revelation of Jesus Christ.

¹³ You have surely heard how I lived in the past, within Judaism, and how there was simply no limit to the way I persecuted the Church of God in my attempts to destroy it;

¹⁴ and how, in Judaism, I outstripped most of my Jewish contemporaries in my limitless enthusiasm for the traditions of my ancestors.

¹⁵ But when God, who had set me apart from the time when I was in my mother's womb, called me through his grace and chose

¹⁶ to reveal his Son in me, so that I should preach him to the gentiles, I was in no hurry to confer with any human being,

¹⁷ or to go up to Jerusalem to see those who were already apostles before me. Instead, I went off to Arabia, and later I came back to Damascus.

¹⁸ Only after three years did I go up to Jerusalem to meet Cephas. I stayed fifteen days with him

¹⁹ but did not set eyes on any of the rest of the apostles, only James, the Lord's brother.
