The rise of a great prophet among us.
Reading 3, 1 Cor 2: 6-10 : Wisdom of God.
6 | Yet among the mature we do impart wisdom, although it is not a wisdom of this age or of the rulers of this age, who are doomed to pass away. |
7 | But we impart a secret and hidden wisdom of God, which God decreed before the ages for our glorification. |
8 | None of the rulers of this age understood this; for if they had, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory. |
9 | But, as it is written, "What no eye has seen, nor ear heard, nor the heart of man conceived, what God has prepared for those who love him," |
10 | God has revealed to us through the Spirit. For the Spirit searches everything, even the depths of God. |
Gospel, Lk 7: 11-17 : The rise of a great prophet among us.
11 | Soon afterward he went to a city called Na'in, and his disciples and a great crowd went with him. |
12 | As he drew near to the gate of the city, behold, a man who had died was being carried out, the only son of his mother, and she was a widow; and a large crowd from the city was with her. |
13 | And when the Lord saw her, he had compassion on her and said to her, "Do not weep." |
14 | And he came and touched the bier, and the bearers stood still. And he said, "Young man, I say to you, arise." |
15 | And the dead man sat up, and began to speak. And he gave him to his mother. |
16 | Fear seized them all; and they glorified God, saying, "A great prophet has arisen among us!" and "God has visited his people!" |
17 | And this report concerning him spread through the whole of Judea and all the surrounding country. |
