Reading 1:

Isaiah 1:10, 16-20

¹⁰ Hear what Yahweh says, you rulers of Sodom; listen to what our God teaches, you people of Gomorrah.

¹⁶ wash, make yourselves clean. Take your wrong-doing out of my sight. Cease doing evil.

¹⁷ Learn to do good, search for justice, discipline the violent, be just to the orphan, plead for the widow.

¹⁸ ‘Come, let us talk this over,’ says Yahweh. ‘Though your sins are like scarlet, they shall be white as snow; though they are red as crimson, they shall be like wool.

¹⁹ If you are willing to obey, you shall eat the good things of the earth.

²⁰ But if you refuse and rebel, the sword shall eat you instead — for Yahweh’s mouth has spoken.’

Responsorial Psalm:

Psalms 50:8-9, 16-17, 21, 23

⁸ ‘It is not with your sacrifices that I find fault, those burnt offerings constantly before me;

⁹ I will not accept any bull from your homes, nor a single goat from your folds.

¹⁶ But to the wicked, God says: ‘What right have you to recite my statutes, to take my covenant on your lips,

¹⁷ when you detest my teaching, and thrust my words behind you?

²¹ You do this, and am I to say nothing? Do you think that I am really like you? I charge you, indict you to your face.

²³ Honour to me is a sacrifice of thanksgiving; to the upright I will show God’s salvation.’

Gospel:

Matthew 23:1-12

¹ Then addressing the crowds and his disciples Jesus said,

² ‘The scribes and the Pharisees occupy the chair of Moses.

³ You must therefore do and observe what they tell you; but do not be guided by what they do, since they do not practise what they preach.

⁴ They tie up heavy burdens and lay them on people’s shoulders, but will they lift a finger to move them? Not they!

⁵ Everything they do is done to attract attention, like wearing broader headbands and longer tassels,

⁶ like wanting to take the place of honour at banquets and the front seats in the synagogues,

⁷ being greeted respectfully in the market squares and having people call them Rabbi.

⁸ ‘You, however, must not allow yourselves to be called Rabbi, since you have only one Master, and you are all brothers.

⁹ You must call no one on earth your father, since you have only one Father, and he is in heaven.

¹⁰ Nor must you allow yourselves to be called teachers, for you have only one Teacher, the Christ.

¹¹ The greatest among you must be your servant.

¹² Anyone who raises himself up will be humbled, and anyone who humbles himself will be raised up.
