Gospel
text (Luke 4,31-37): Jesus
went down to Capernaum, a town of Galilee, and began teaching the people at the
sabbath meetings. They were astonished at the way He taught them, for his word
was spoken with authority. In the synagogue there was a man possessed by an
evil spirit who shouted in a loud voice, «What do you want with us, Jesus of
Nazareth? Have you come to destroy us? I recognize you: you are the Holy One of
God». Then Jesus said to him sharply, «Be silent and leave this man!». The evil
spirit then threw the man down in front of them and came out of him without
doing him harm. Amazement seized all these people and they said to one another,
«What does this mean? He commands the evil spirits with authority and power. He
orders, and you see how they come out!». And news about Jesus spread throughout
the surrounding area.
Gospel text ( L uke 11,1-4): One day Jesus was praying in a certain place and when He had finished, one of his disciples said to him, «Lord, teach us to pray, just as John taught his disciples». And Jesus said to them, «When you pray, say this: Father, hallowed be your name, may your kingdom come, give us each day the kind of bread we need, and forgive us our sins, for we also for-give all who do us wrong, and do not bring us to the test»
