Liturgical Season: 
V The Season of Pentecost

Gal 3:1-6

Justification by Faith.* 1O stupid* Galatians! Who has bewitched you, before whose eyes Jesus Christ was publicly portrayed as crucified?a 2I want to learn only this from you:b did you receive the Spirit from works of the law, or from faith in what you heard?* 3Are you so stupid?c After beginning with the Spirit, are you now ending with the flesh?* 4Did you experience so many things* in vain?—if indeed it was in vain. 5Does, then, the one who supplies the Spirit to you and works mighty deeds among you do so from works of the law or from faith in what you heard?d 6Thus Abraham “believed God,e and it was credited to him as righteousness.”*

Lk 10:1-12

The Mission of the Seventy-two.* 1After this the Lord appointed seventy[-two]* others whom he sent ahead of him in pairs to every town and place he intended to visit.a 2He said to them, “The harvest is abundant but the laborers are few; so ask the master of the harvest to send out laborers for his harvest.b 3Go on your way; behold, I am sending you like lambs among wolves.c 4* Carry no money bag,d no sack, no sandals;e and greet no one along the way. 5Into whatever house you enter, first say, ‘Peace to this household.’* 6If a peaceful person* lives there, your peace will rest on him; but if not, it will return to you. 7Stay in the same house and eat and drink what is offered to you, for the laborer deserves his payment. Do not move about from one house to another.f 8Whatever town you enter and they welcome you, eat what is set before you,g 9cure the sick in it and say to them, ‘The kingdom of God is at hand for you.’h 10Whatever town you enter and they do not receive you, go out into the streets and say,i 11‘The dust of your town that clings to our feet, even that we shake off against you.’ Yet know this: the kingdom of God is at hand.j 12I tell you, it will be more tolerable for Sodom on that day than for that town.k
