Léctio sancti Evangélii secúndum Lucam (4,31-37)
In illo témpore: Descéndit Iesus in Caphárnaum civitátem Galilǽæ. Et docébat illos sábbatis, et stupébant in doctrína eius, quia in potestáte erat sermo ipsíus. Et in synagóga erat homo habens spíritum dæmónii immúndi, et exclamávit voce magna: «Sine, quid nobis et tibi, Iesu Nazaréne? Venísti pérdere nos? Scio te qui sis, Sanctus Dei». Er increpávit illi Iesus dicens: «Obmutésce, et exi ab illo». Et, cum proiecísset illum dæmónium in médium, éxiit ab illo nihílque illum nócuit. Et factus est pavor in ómnibus, et colloquebántur ad ínvicem dicéntes: «Quod est hoc verbum, quia in potestáte et virtúte ímperat immúndis spirítibus, et éxeunt?»
Et divulgabátur fama de illo in omnem locum regiónis.
At that time: Jesus went down into Capharnaum a city of Galilee; and there he taught them on the Sabboths. And they were astonished at his doctrine; because his talk was in power. And in the Synagogue there was a man having an unclean devil, and he cried out with a loud voice. Saying: Let be, what to us and thee Jesus of Nazareth? Art thou come to destroy us? I know thee who thou art, the Saint of God. And Jesus rebuked him, saying: Hold thy peace, & go out of him. And when the devil had thrown him into the midst, he went out of him, and hurted him nothing. And there came fear upon all, and they talked together one with another, saying: What word is this, that in power and virtue he commandeth the unclean spirits, and they go out? And the fame of him was published into every place of the country.
