Daily Gospel Reading for August 2, 2024 – Friday in the Seventeenth Week of Ordinary Time Bible Verse

The 2nd of August, 2024 is Friday in the Seventeenth Week of Ordinary Time. The Bible scriptures for the holy mass readings for this day came from the 2024 Liturgical Calendar.

Reading 1: JER 26:1-9

The first reading from the Book of Jeremiah.

In the beginning of the reign of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah, king of Judah, this word came from Yahweh: “Yahweh says: ‘Stand in the court of Yahweh’s house, and speak to all the cities of Judah which come to worship in Yahweh’s house, all the words that I command you to speak to them. Don’t omit a word.

It may be they will listen, and every man turn from his evil way, that I may relent from the evil which I intend to do to them because of the evil of their doings.’_”

You shall tell them, “Yahweh says: ‘If you will not listen to me, to walk in my law which I have set before you, to listen to the words of my servants the prophets whom I send to you, even rising up early and sending them-but you have not listened-then I will make this house like Shiloh, and will make this city a curse to all the nations of the earth.’_”

The priests and the prophets and all the people heard Jeremiah speaking these words in Yahweh’s house.

When Jeremiah had finished speaking all that Yahweh had commanded him to speak to all the people, the priests and the prophets and all the people seized him, saying, “You shall surely die!

Why have you prophesied in Yahweh’s name, saying, ‘This house will be like Shiloh, and this city will be desolate, without inhabitant?’_” All the people were crowded around Jeremiah in Yahweh’s house.

Responsorial Psalm: PS 69:4, 7-9, 13

Response: God, in the abundance of your loving kindness, answer me in the truth of your salvation.

Those who hate me without a cause are more than the hairs of my head. Those who want to cut me off, being my enemies wrongfully, are mighty. I have to restore what I didn’t take away.

R: God, in the abundance of your loving kindness, answer me in the truth of your salvation.

Because for your sake, I have borne reproach. Shame has covered my face.

I have become a stranger to my brothers, an alien to my mother’s children.

For the zeal of your house consumes me. The reproaches of those who reproach you have fallen on me.

R: God, in the abundance of your loving kindness, answer me in the truth of your salvation.

But as for me, my prayer is to you, Yahweh, in an acceptable time. God, in the abundance of your loving kindness, answer me in the truth of your salvation.

R: God, in the abundance of your loving kindness, answer me in the truth of your salvation.

Gospel of the Day: MT 13:54-58

From the gospel verse according to Matthew.

Coming into his own country, he taught them in their synagogue, so that they were astonished and said, “Where did this man get this wisdom and these mighty works?

Isn’t this the carpenter’s son? Isn’t his mother called Mary, and his brothers James, Joses, Simon, and Judas?

Aren’t all of his sisters with us? Where then did this man get all of these things?”

They were offended by him. But Jesus said to them, “A prophet is not without honor, except in his own country and in his own house.”

He didn’t do many mighty works there because of their unbelief.
