B1
Genesis 1:26-28, 31a
A reading from the Book of Genesis
Then God said: "Let us make man in our image,
after our likeness. Let them have dominion over
the fish of the sea, the birds of the air, and the
cattle, and over all the wild animals and all the
creatures that crawl on the ground."
God created man in his image; in the image of
God he created him; male and female he created
them.
God blessed them, saying: "Be fertile and
multiply;
fill the earth and subdue it. Have dominion over
the fish of the sea, the birds of the air, and all the
living things that move on the earth." God looked
at everything he had made, and he found it very
good.
The Word of the Lord.
