Colossians 1:24–2:3

Responsorial Psalm

Psalm 61

6Yet, truly, my soul will be subject to God. For from him is my patience. 7For he is my God and my Savior. He is my helper; I will not be expelled. 8In God is my salvation and my glory. He is the God of my help, and my hope is in God. 9All peoples gathered together: trust in him. Pour out your hearts in his sight. God is our helper for eternity.
Gospel

Luke 6:6-11

6And it happened that, on another Sabbath, he entered into the synagogue, and he taught. And there was a man there, and his right hand was withered. 7And the scribes and Pharisees observed whether he would heal on the Sabbath, so that they might thereby find an accusation against him. 8Yet truly, he knew their thoughts, and so he said to the man who had the withered hand, “Rise up and stand in the middle.” And rising up, he stood still. 9Then Jesus said to them: “I ask you if it is lawful on the Sabbaths to do good, or to do evil? To give health to a life, or to destroy it?” 10And looking around at everyone, he said to the man, “Extend your hand.” And he extended it. And his hand was restored. 11Then they were filled with madness, and they discussed with one another, what, in particular, they might do about Jesus.
