The Book of the Prophet Isaiah 38: 1-8, 21-22

38:1	In those days Hezekiah became ill and was near death. Og så, Jesaja, the son of Amoz, profeten, entered to him, and he said to him: «Så sier Herren: Put your house in order, for you shall die, and you shall not live.”
38:2	And Hezekiah turned his face toward the wall, and he prayed to the Lord.
38:3	Og han sa: “I beg you, Lord, I beseech you, to remember how I walked before you in truth and with a whole heart, and that I have done what is good in your sight.” And Hezekiah wept with a great weeping.
38:4	And the word of the Lord came to Isaiah, ordtak:
38:5	“Go and say to Hezekiah: Så sier Herren, the God of David, your father: I have heard your prayer, and I have seen your tears. Se, I will add fifteen years to your days.
38:6	And I will rescue you and this city from the hand of the king of the Assyrians, and I will protect it.
38:7	And this will be a sign for you from the Lord, that the Lord will do this word, which he has spoken:
38:8	Se, I will cause the shadow of the lines, which has now descended on the sundial of Ahaz, to move in reverse for ten lines.” And so, the sun moved backward by ten lines, through the degrees by which it had descended.
38:21	Now Isaiah had ordered them to take a paste of figs, and to spread it like plaster over the wound, so that he would be healed.
38:22	And Hezekiah said, “What will be the sign that I may go up to the house of the Lord?”

Evangelium

Det hellige evangelium ifølge Matteus 12: 1-8

12:1	På den tiden, Jesus gikk ut gjennom det modne kornet på sabbaten. Og disiplene hans, å være sulten, begynte å skille kornet og spise.
12:2	Så fariseerne, ser dette, sa til ham, «Se, disiplene dine gjør det som ikke er tillatt å gjøre på sabbatene.»
12:3	Men han sa til dem: «Har du ikke lest hva David gjorde, når han var sulten, og de som var med ham:
12:4	hvordan han gikk inn i Guds hus og spiste nærværets brød, som ikke var lov for ham å spise, heller ikke for dem som var med ham, men bare for prestene?
12:5	Eller har du ikke lest i loven, at på sabbatene bryter prestene i templet sabbaten, og de er uten skyld?
12:6	Men jeg sier til deg, at noe større enn templet er her.
12:7	Og hvis du visste hva dette betyr, 'Jeg ønsker barmhjertighet, og ikke ofre,’ du ville aldri ha fordømt de uskyldige.
12:8	For Menneskesønnen er Herre også over sabbaten."
