Reading 1 1 COR 4: 1-5

Brothers and sisters:
THUS Should one regard us: as servants of Christ
and stewards of the mysteries of God.
Now it is of course required of stewards
That They be found trustworthy.
It does not in the Least Concern me
That I be Judged by you or any human tribunal;
I do not even pass judgment on myself;
I am not conscious of anything against me,
but I do not thereby stand acquitted;
the one who judges me is the Lord.
THEREFORE, do not make any judgment before the appointed time,
until you eat the Lord,
for I will bring to light what is hidden in darkness
and will manifest the motives of our hearts,
and then everyone will receive praise from God.

Commit your way to the LORD;

R.  The salvation of the just comes from the Lord.
Turn from evil and do good,
May that you 'abide forever;
For the LORD loves what is right,
and forsakes not His faithful ones.
Criminals are destroyed
and the posterity of the wicked is cut off.
R.  The salvation of the just comes from the Lord.
The salvation of the just is from the LORD;
I is Their refuge in time of distress.
And the LORD Helps them and delivers them;
I've delivers them from the wicked and saves them,
Because They take refuge in him.
R.  The salvation of the just comes from the Lord.

Gospel  LK 5: 33-39

The scribes and Pharisees said to Jesus,
"The disciples of John the Baptist fast and offer prayers Often,
and the disciples of the Pharisees do the same;
but yours eat and drink. "
Jesus answered them, "Can you make the wedding guests fast
while the bridegroom Is With Them?
But the days will come, and when to the bridegroom is taken away from them,
then they 'will fast in Those Days. "
And I Also Told them a parable.
"No one tears a piece from a new cloak to patch an old one.
Otherwise, I will tear the new
and the piece from it will not match the old cloak.
Likewise, no one pours new wine into old wineskins.
Otherwise, the new wine will burst the skins,
and it will be spilled, and the skins will be ruined.
Rather, new wine must be Poured into fresh wineskins.
And no one who has been drinking old wine desires new,
for I says, 'The old is good.' "
