First Reading: First Thessalonians 2: 1-8

1 For you yourselves know, brothers, that our reception among you was not without effect.

2 Rather, after we had suffered and been insolently treated, as you know, in Philippi, we drew courage through our God to speak to you the gospel of God with much struggle.

3 Our exhortation was not from delusion or impure motives, nor did it work through deception.

4 But as we were judged worthy by God to be entrusted with the gospel, that is how we speak, not as trying to please human beings,but rather God, who judges our hearts.

5 Nor, indeed, did we ever appear with flattering speech, as you know, or with a pretext for greed–God is witness–

6 nor did we seek praise from human beings, either from you or from others,

7 although we were able to impose our weight as apostles of Christ. Rather, we were gentle among you, as a nursing mother cares for her children.

8 With such affection for you, we were determined to share with you not only the gospel of God, but our very selves as well, so dearly beloved had you become to us.

Responsorial Psalm: Psalms 139: 1-3, 4-6

1 For the leader. A Psalm of David. O LORD, you have probed me, you know me:

2 you know when I sit and stand; you understand my thoughts from afar.

3 My travels and my rest you mark; with all my ways you are familiar.

4 Even before a word is on my tongue, LORD, you know it all.

5 Behind and before you encircle me and rest your hand upon me.

6 Such knowledge is beyond me, far too lofty for me to reach.

Gospel: Matthew 23: 23-26

23 “Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, you hypocrites. You pay tithes of mint and dill and cummin, and have neglected the weightier things of the law: judgment and mercy and fidelity. (But) these you should have done, without neglecting the others.

24 Blind guides, who strain out the gnat and swallow the camel!

25 “Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, you hypocrites. You cleanse the outside of cup and dish, but inside they are full of plunder and self-indulgence.

26 Blind Pharisee, cleanse first the inside of the cup, so that the outside also may be clean.
