Reading

Romans 1: 1- 7

1:1 Paul, a servant of Jesus Christ, called as an Apostle, separated for the Gospel of God,
1:2 which he had promised beforehand, through his Prophets, in the Holy Scriptures,
1:3 about his Son, who was made for him from the offspring of David according to the flesh,
1:4 the Son of God, who was predestined in virtue according to the Spirit of sanctification from the resurrection of the dead, our Lord Jesus Christ,
1:5 through whom we have received grace and Apostleship, for the sake of his name, for the obedience of faith among all the Gentiles,
1:6 from whom you also have been called by Jesus Christ:
1:7 To all who are at Rome, the beloved of God, called as saints. Grace to you, and peace, from God our Father and from the Lord Jesus Christ.

Gospel

Luke 11: 29- 32

11:29 Then, as the crowds were quickly gathering, he began to say: “This generation is a wicked generation: it seeks a sign. But no sign will be given to it, except the sign of the prophet Jonah.
11:30 For just as Jonah was a sign to the Ninevites, so also will the Son of man be to this generation.
11:31 The queen of the South will rise up, at the judgment, with the men of this generation, and she will condemn them. For she came from the ends of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon. And behold, more than Solomon is here.
11:32 The men of Nineveh will rise up, at the judgment, with this generation, and they will condemn it. For at the preaching of Jonah, they repented. And behold, more than Jonah is here.
