Gospel of 10 September 2018

First letter of St. Paul the Apostle to the Corinthians 5,1-8.
Brothers, you hear everything about immorality among you, and such immorality that is not found even among pagans, to the point that one lives with his father's wife.
And you swell with pride, rather than being afflicted by it, so that those who have done such an action may get out of your way!
Well, I, absent with the body but present with the spirit, have already judged as if I was present the one who carried out this action:
in the name of our Lord Jesus, being gathered together you and my spirit, with the power of our Lord Jesus,
let this individual be given at the mercy of satan for the ruin of his flesh, so that his spirit may obtain salvation on the day of the Lord.
Your boasting is not a good thing. Don't you know that a little leaven ferments the whole dough?
Remove the old yeast, to be new pasta, since you are unleavened. And in fact Christ, our Easter, was immolated!
Let us therefore celebrate the feast not with old yeast, nor with yeast of malice and perversity, but with unleavened bread of sincerity and truth.

Psalms 5,5-6.7.12.
You are not a God who takes pleasure in evil;
with you the wicked one finds no home;
fools do not hold your gaze.

You hate the wrongdoer,
make liars perish.
The Lord hates bloodthirsty and deceiving.

Let those in you take refuge,
they rejoice without end.
You protect them and in you they will rejoice
those who love your name.

From the Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Luke 6,6-11.
One Saturday, Jesus entered the synagogue and started teaching. Now there was a man there, his right hand withered.
The scribes and Pharisees watched him to see if he healed him on Saturday, in order to find a charge against him.
But Jesus was aware of their thoughts and said to the man who had his dry hand: «Get up and get in the middle!». The man stood up and moved to the indicated spot.
Then Jesus said to them, "I ask you: Is it lawful on the Sabbath day to do good or to do evil, to save a life or to lose it?"
And looking all around them, he said to the man, "Extend your hand!" He did and the hand healed.
But they were filled with anger and argued among themselves about what they could have done to Jesus.
