A READING FROM THE GOSPEL OF LUKE (FIRST READER ONLY.}

There was a scholar of the law who asked Jesus/

"Teacher, what must I do to inherit eternal life?"/

Jesus said to him, "What is written in the law?/

"How do you read it?"/

He replied, "You shall love the Lord your God,/

With all your heart, with all your being,/

With all your strength, and with all your mind,/

And your neighbour as yourself."/

He said to him, "You have answered correctly;/

Do this and you will live."/
