1st Reading – Isaiah 2:1-5
1 The word that Isaiah the son of Amoz saw, concerning Judah and Jerusalem.
2 And in the last days the mountain of the house of the Lord shall be prepared on the top of mountains, and it shall be exalted above the hills: and all nations shall flow unto it.
3 And many people shall go, and say: Come, and let us go up to the mountain of the Lord, and to the house of the God of Jacob: and he will teach us his ways, and we will walk in his paths. For the law shall come forth from Zion: and the word of the Lord from Jerusalem.
4 And he shall judge the Gentiles and rebuke many people: and they shall turn their swords into plowshares and their spears into sickles. Nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they be exercised any more to war.
5 O house of Jacob, come ye: and let us walk in the light of the Lord.

Gospel – Matthew 8:5-11
5 And when Jesus had entered into Capharnaum, there came to him a centurion, beseeching him,
6 And saying, Lord, my servant lies at home sick of the palsy, and is grieviously tormented.
7 And Jesus said to him: I will come and heal him.
8 And the centurion making answer, said: Lord, I am not worthy that you shall enter under my roof: but only say the word, and my servant shall be healed.
9 For I also am a man subject to authority, having under me soldiers; and I say to this, Go, and he goes, and to another, Come, and he comes, and to my servant, Do this, and he does it.
10 And Jesus hearing this, marvelled; and said to them that followed him: Amen I say to you, I have not found so great faith in Israel.
11 And I say to you that many shall come from the East and the West, and shall sit down with Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob in the kingdom of heaven:
