Leviticus 23: 1, 4-11, 15-16, 27, 34b-37
1The LORD said to Moses:
4Passover. These are the festivals of the LORD, holy days which you shall declare at their proper time.
5The Passover of the LORD falls on the fourteenth day of the first month, at the evening twilight.
6The fifteenth day of this month is the LORD’s feast of Unleavened Bread. For seven days you shall eat unleavened bread.
7On the first of these days you will have a declared holy day; you shall do no heavy work.
8On each of the seven days you shall offer an oblation to the LORD. Then on the seventh day you will have a declared holy day; you shall do no heavy work.
9The LORD said to Moses:
10Speak to the Israelites and tell them: When you come into the land which I am giving you, and reap its harvest, you shall bring the first sheaf of your harvest to the priest,
11who shall elevate the sheaf before the LORD that it may be acceptable on your behalf. On the day after the sabbath the priest shall do this.
15Pentecost. Beginning with the day after the sabbath, the day on which you bring the sheaf for elevation, you shall count seven full weeks;
16you shall count to the day after the seventh week, fifty days. Then you shall present a new grain offering to the LORD.
27Now the tenth day of this seventh month is the Day of Atonement. You will have a declared holy day. You shall humble yourselves and offer an oblation to the LORD.
34Tell the Israelites: The fifteenth day of this seventh month is the LORD’s feast of Booths, which shall continue for seven days.
35On the first day, a declared holy day, you shall do no heavy work.
36For seven days you shall offer an oblation to the LORD, and on the eighth day you will have a declared holy day. You shall offer an oblation to the LORD. It is the festival closing. You shall do no heavy work.
37These, therefore, are the festivals of the LORD which you shall declare holy days, in order to offer as an oblation to the LORD burnt offerings and grain offerings, sacrifices and libations, as prescribed for each day,
Responsorial Psalm
Psalms 81: 3-4, 5-6, 10-11ab
3Take up a melody, sound the timbrel, the pleasant lyre with a harp.
4Blow the shofar at the new moon, at the full moon, on our solemn feast.
5For this is a law for Israel, an edict of the God of Jacob,
6He made it a decree for Joseph when he came out of the land of Egypt.
10There shall be no foreign god among you; you shall not bow down to an alien god.
11‘I am the LORD your God, who brought you up from the land of Egypt. Open wide your mouth that I may fill it.’

Gospel
Matthew 13: 54-58
54V. Jesus, the Kingdom, and the Church - The Rejection at Nazareth. He came to his native place and taught the people in their synagogue. They were astonished and said, “Where did this man get such wisdom and mighty deeds?
55Is he not the carpenter’s son? Is not his mother named Mary and his brothers James, Joseph, Simon, and Judas?
56Are not his sisters all with us? Where did this man get all this?”
57And they took offense at him. But Jesus said to them, “A prophet is not without honor except in his native place and in his own house.”
58And he did not work many mighty deeds there because of their lack of faith.
