Daily Gospel from CNA

1: Then after fourteen years I went up again to Jerusalem with Barnabas, taking Titus along with me. 2: I went up by revelation; and I laid before them (but privately before those who were of repute) the gospel which I preach among the Gentiles, lest somehow I should be running or had run in vain. 7: but on the contrary, when they saw that I had been entrusted with the gospel to the uncircumcised, just as Peter had been entrusted with the gospel to the circumcised 8: (for he who worked through Peter for the mission to the circumcised worked through me also for the Gentiles), 9: and when they perceived the grace that was given to me, James and Cephas and John, who were reputed to be pillars, gave to me and Barnabas the right hand of fellowship, that we should go to the Gentiles and they to the circumcised; 10: only they would have us remember the poor, which very thing I was eager to do. 11: But when Cephas came to Antioch I opposed him to his face, because he stood condemned. 12: For before certain men came from James, he ate with the Gentiles; but when they came he drew back and separated himself, fearing the circumcision party. 13: And with him the rest of the Jews acted insincerely, so that even Barnabas was carried away by their insincerity. 14: But when I saw that they were not straightforward about the truth of the gospel, I said to Cephas before them all, "If you, though a Jew, live like a Gentile and not like a Jew, how can you compel the Gentiles to live like Jews?"

1: Praise the LORD, all nations! Extol him, all peoples! 2: For great is his steadfast love toward us; and the faithfulness of the LORD endures for ever. Praise the LORD!

1: He was praying in a certain place, and when he ceased, one of his disciples said to him, "Lord, teach us to pray, as John taught his disciples." 2: And he said to them, "When you pray, say: "Father, hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. 3: Give us each day our daily bread; 4: and forgive us our sins, for we ourselves forgive every one who is indebted to us; and lead us not into temptation."

13: For you have heard of my former life in Judaism, how I persecuted the church of God violently and tried to destroy it; 14: and I advanced in Judaism beyond many of my own age among my people, so extremely zealous was I for the traditions of my fathers. 15: But when he who had set me apart before I was born, and had called me through his grace, 16: was pleased to reveal his Son to me, in order that I might preach him among the Gentiles, I did not confer with flesh and blood, 17: nor did I go up to Jerusalem to those who were apostles before me, but I went away into Arabia; and again I returned to Damascus. 18: Then after three years I went up to Jerusalem to visit Cephas, and remained with him fifteen days. 19: But I saw none of the other apostles except James the Lord's brother. 20: (In what I am writing to you, before God, I do not lie!) 21: Then I went into the regions of Syria and Cili'cia. 22: And I was still not known by sight to the churches of Christ in Judea; 23: they only heard it said, "He who once persecuted us is now preaching the faith he once tried to destroy." 24: And they glorified God because of me.

1: O LORD, thou hast searched me and known me! 2: Thou knowest when I sit down and when I rise up; thou discernest my thoughts from afar. 3: Thou searchest out my path and my lying down, and art acquainted with all my ways. 13: For thou didst form my inward parts, thou didst knit me together in my mother's womb. 14: I praise thee, for thou art fearful and wonderful. Wonderful are thy works! Thou knowest me right well; 15: my frame was not hidden from thee, when I was being made in secret, intricately wrought in the depths of the earth.

38: Now as they went on their way, he entered a village; and a woman named Martha received him into her house. 39: And she had a sister called Mary, who sat at the Lord's feet and listened to his teaching. 40: But Martha was distracted with much serving; and she went to him and said, "Lord, do you not care that my sister has left me to serve alone? Tell her then to help me." 41: But the Lord answered her, "Martha, Martha, you are anxious and troubled about many things; 42: one thing is needful. Mary has chosen the good portion, which shall not be taken away from her."

6: I am astonished that you are so quickly deserting him who called you in the grace of Christ and turning to a different gospel -- 7: not that there is another gospel, but there are some who trouble you and want to pervert the gospel of Christ. 8: But even if we, or an angel from heaven, should preach to you a gospel contrary to that which we preached to you, let him be accursed. 9: As we have said before, so now I say again, If any one is preaching to you a gospel contrary to that which you received, let him be accursed. 10: Am I now seeking the favor of men, or of God? Or am I trying to please men? If I were still pleasing men, I should not be a servant of Christ. 11: For I would have you know, brethren, that the gospel which was preached by me is not man's gospel. 12: For I did not receive it from man, nor was I taught it, but it came through a revelation of Jesus Christ.

 1: Praise the LORD. I will give thanks to the LORD with my whole heart, in the company of the upright, in the congregation. 2: Great are the works of the LORD, studied by all who have pleasure in them. 7: The works of his hands are faithful and just; all his precepts are trustworthy, 8: they are established for ever and ever, to be performed with faithfulness and uprightness. 9: He sent redemption to his people; he has commanded his covenant for ever. Holy and terrible is his name! 10: The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom; a good understanding have all those who practice it. His praise endures for ever!

25: And behold, a lawyer stood up to put him to the test, saying, "Teacher, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?" 26: He said to him, "What is written in the law? How do you read?" 27: And he answered, "You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your strength, and with all your mind; and your neighbor as yourself." 28: And he said to him, "You have answered right; do this, and you will live." 29: But he, desiring to justify himself, said to Jesus, "And who is my neighbor?" 30: Jesus replied, "A man was going down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and he fell among robbers, who stripped him and beat him, and departed, leaving him half dead. 31: Now by chance a priest was going down that road; and when he saw him he passed by on the other side. 32: So likewise a Levite, when he came to the place and saw him, passed by on the other side. 33: But a Samaritan, as he journeyed, came to where he was; and when he saw him, he had compassion, 34: and went to him and bound up his wounds, pouring on oil and wine; then he set him on his own beast and brought him to an inn, and took care of him. 35: And the next day he took out two denarii and gave them to the innkeeper, saying, `Take care of him; and whatever more you spend, I will repay you when I come back.' 36: Which of these three, do you think, proved neighbor to the man who fell among the robbers?" 37: He said, "The one who showed mercy on him." And Jesus said to him, "Go and do likewise."

1: Let me sing for my beloved a love song concerning his vineyard: My beloved had a vineyard on a very fertile hill. 2: He digged it and cleared it of stones, and planted it with choice vines; he built a watchtower in the midst of it, and hewed out a wine vat in it; and he looked for it to yield grapes, but it yielded wild grapes. 3: And now, O inhabitants of Jerusalem and men of Judah, judge, I pray you, between me and my vineyard. 4: What more was there to do for my vineyard, that I have not done in it? When I looked for it to yield grapes, why did it yield wild grapes? 5: And now I will tell you what I will do to my vineyard. I will remove its hedge, and it shall be devoured; I will break down its wall, and it shall be trampled down. 6: I will make it a waste; it shall not be pruned or hoed, and briers and thorns shall grow up; I will also command the clouds that they rain no rain upon it. 7: For the vineyard of the LORD of hosts is the house of Israel, and the men of Judah are his pleasant planting; and he looked for justice, but behold, bloodshed; for righteousness, but behold, a cry!

Thou didst bring a vine out of Egypt; thou didst drive out the nations and plant it.it sent out its branches to the sea, and its shoots to the River. Why then hast thou broken down its walls, so that all who pass along the way pluck its fruit? The boar from the forest ravages it, and all that move in the field feed on it. Turn again, O God of hosts! Look down from heaven, and see; have regard for this vine, the stock which thy right hand planted. Then we will never turn back from thee; give us life, and we will call on thy name! Restore us, O LORD God of hosts! let thy face shine, that we may be saved!

6: Have no anxiety about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. 7: And the peace of God, which passes all understanding, will keep your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. 8: Finally, brethren, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is gracious, if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things. 9: What you have learned and received and heard and seen in me, do; and the God of peace will be with you.

33: "Hear another parable. There was a householder who planted a vineyard, and set a hedge around it, and dug a wine press in it, and built a tower, and let it out to tenants, and went into another country. 34: When the season of fruit drew near, he sent his servants to the tenants, to get his fruit; 35: and the tenants took his servants and beat one, killed another, and stoned another. 36: Again he sent other servants, more than the first; and they did the same to them. 37: Afterward he sent his son to them, saying, `They will respect my son.' 38: But when the tenants saw the son, they said to themselves, `This is the heir; come, let us kill him and have his inheritance.' 39: And they took him and cast him out of the vineyard, and killed him. 40: When therefore the owner of the vineyard comes, what will he do to those tenants?" 41: They said to him, "He will put those wretches to a miserable death, and let out the vineyard to other tenants who will give him the fruits in their seasons." 42: Jesus said to them, "Have you never read in the scriptures: `The very stone which the builders rejected has become the head of the corner; this was the Lord's doing, and it is marvelous in our eyes'? 43: Therefore I tell you, the kingdom of God will be taken away from you and given to a nation producing the fruits of it."

1: Then Job answered the LORD: 2: "I know that thou canst do all things, and that no purpose of thine can be thwarted. 3: `Who is this that hides counsel without knowledge?' Therefore I have uttered what I did not understand, things too wonderful for me, which I did not know. 5: I had heard of thee by the hearing of the ear, but now my eye sees thee; 6: therefore I despise myself, and repent in dust and ashes." 12: And the LORD blessed the latter days of Job more than his beginning; and he had fourteen thousand sheep, six thousand camels, a thousand yoke of oxen, and a thousand she-asses. 13: He had also seven sons and three daughters. 14: And he called the name of the first Jemi'mah; and the name of the second Kezi'ah; and the name of the third Ker'en-hap'puch. 15: And in all the land there were no women so fair as Job's daughters; and their father gave them inheritance among their brothers. 16: And after this Job lived a hundred and forty years, and saw his sons, and his sons' sons, four generations. 17: And Job died, an old man, and full of days.

66: Teach me good judgment and knowledge, for I believe in thy commandments. 71: It is good for me that I was afflicted, that I might learn thy statutes. 75: I know, O LORD, that thy judgments are right, and that in faithfulness thou hast afflicted me. 91: By thy appointment they stand this day; for all things are thy servants. 125: I am thy servant; give me understanding, that I may know thy testimonies! 130: The unfolding of thy words gives light; it imparts understanding to the simple.

17: The seventy returned with joy, saying, "Lord, even the demons are subject to us in your name!" 18: And he said to them, "I saw Satan fall like lightning from heaven. 19: Behold, I have given you authority to tread upon serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy; and nothing shall hurt you. 20: Nevertheless do not rejoice in this, that the spirits are subject to you; but rejoice that your names are written in heaven." 21: In that same hour he rejoiced in the Holy Spirit and said, "I thank thee, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that thou hast hidden these things from the wise and understanding and revealed them to babes; yea, Father, for such was thy gracious will. 22: All things have been delivered to me by my Father; and no one knows who the Son is except the Father, or who the Father is except the Son and any one to whom the Son chooses to reveal him." 23: Then turning to the disciples he said privately, "Blessed are the eyes which see what you see! 24: For I tell you that many prophets and kings desired to see what you see, and did not see it, and to hear what you hear, and did not hear it."

38:1: Then the LORD answered Job out of the whirlwind: 12: "Have you commanded the morning since your days began, and caused the dawn to know its place, 13: that it might take hold of the skirts of the earth, and the wicked be shaken out of it? 14: It is changed like clay under the seal, and it is dyed like a garment. 15: From the wicked their light is withheld, and their uplifted arm is broken. 16: "Have you entered into the springs of the sea, or walked in the recesses of the deep? 17: Have the gates of death been revealed to you, or have you seen the gates of deep darkness? 18: Have you comprehended the expanse of the earth? Declare, if you know all this. 19: "Where is the way to the dwelling of light, and where is the place of darkness, 20: that you may take it to its territory and that you may discern the paths to its home? 21: You know, for you were born then, and the number of your days is great! 40:3: Then Job answered the LORD: 4: "Behold, I am of small account; what shall I answer thee? I lay my hand on my mouth. 5: I have spoken once, and I will not answer; twice, but I will proceed no further."

1: O LORD, thou hast searched me and known me! 2: Thou knowest when I sit down and when I rise up; thou discernest my thoughts from afar. 3: Thou searchest out my path and my lying down, and art acquainted with all my ways. 4: Even before a word is on my tongue, lo, O LORD, thou knowest it altogether. 5: Thou dost beset me behind and before, and layest thy hand upon me. 6: Such knowledge is too wonderful for me; it is high, I cannot attain it. 7: Whither shall I go from thy Spirit? Or whither shall I flee from thy presence? 8: If I ascend to heaven, thou art there! If I make my bed in Sheol, thou art there! 9: If I take the wings of the morning and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea, 10: even there thy hand shall lead me, and thy right hand shall hold me. 11: If I say, "Let only darkness cover me, and the light about me be night," 12: even the darkness is not dark to thee, the night is bright as the day; for darkness is as light with thee. 13: For thou didst form my inward parts, thou didst knit me together in my mother's womb. 14: I praise thee, for thou art fearful and wonderful. Wonderful are thy works!

20 "See, I am sending an angel before you, to guard you on the way and bring you to the place I have prepared. 21 Be attentive to him and heed his voice. Do not rebel against him, for he will not forgive your sin. My authority resides in him. 22 If you heed his voice and carry out all I tell you, I will be an enemy to your enemies and a foe to your foes. 23 "My angel will go before you and bring you to the Amorites, Hittites, Perizzites, Canaanites, Hivites and Jebusites; and I will wipe them out.

1 You who dwell in the shelter of the Most High, who abide in the shadow of the Almighty, 2 Say to the LORD, "My refuge and fortress, my God in whom I trust." 3 God will rescue you from the fowler's snare, from the destroying plague, 4 Will shelter you with pinions, spread wings that you may take refuge; God's faithfulness is a protecting shield. 5 You shall not fear the terror of the night nor the arrow that flies by day, 6 Nor the pestilence that roams in darkness, nor the plague that ravages at noon. 10 No evil shall befall you, no affliction come near your tent. 11  For God commands the angels to guard you in all your ways.
