Reading 1, First John 5:5-13

⁵ Who can overcome the world but the one who believes that Jesus is the Son of God?

⁶ He it is who came by water and blood, Jesus Christ, not with water alone but with water and blood, and it is the Spirit that bears witness, for the Spirit is Truth.

⁷ So there are three witnesses,

⁸ the Spirit, water and blood; and the three of them coincide.

⁹ If we accept the testimony of human witnesses, God's testimony is greater, for this is God's testimony which he gave about his Son.

¹⁰ Whoever believes in the Son of God has this testimony within him, and whoever does not believe is making God a liar, because he has not believed the testimony God has given about his Son.

¹¹ This is the testimony: God has given us eternal life, and this life is in his Son.

¹² Whoever has the Son has life, and whoever has not the Son of God has not life.

¹³ I have written this to you who believe in the name of the Son of God so that you may know that you have eternal life.

Responsorial Psalm, Psalms 147:12-13, 14-15, 19-20

¹² Praise Yahweh, Jerusalem, Zion, praise your God.

¹³ For he gives strength to the bars of your gates, he blesses your children within you,

¹⁴ he maintains the peace of your frontiers, gives you your fill of finest wheat.

¹⁵ He sends his word to the earth, his command runs quickly,

¹⁹ He reveals his word to Jacob, his statutes and judgements to Israel.

²⁰ For no other nation has he done this, no other has known his judgements.

Gospel, Luke 5:12-16

¹² Now it happened that Jesus was in one of the towns when suddenly a man appeared, covered with a skin-disease. Seeing Jesus he fell on his face and implored him saying, 'Sir, if you are willing you can cleanse me.'

¹³ He stretched out his hand, and touched him saying, 'I am willing. Be cleansed.' At once the skin-disease left him.

¹⁴ He ordered him to tell no one, 'But go and show yourself to the priest and make the offering for your cleansing just as Moses prescribed, as evidence to them.'

¹⁵ But the news of him kept spreading, and large crowds would gather to hear him and to have their illnesses cured,

¹⁶ but he would go off to some deserted place and pray.
