First Reading

2 Timothy 3:10-17

10But thou hast fully known my doctrine, manner of life, purpose, faith, longsuffering, love, patience, 11Persecutions, afflictions: such as came upon me at Antioch, at Iconium, and at Lystra: what persecutions I endured, and out of them all the Lord delivered me. 12And all that will live godly in Christ Jesus, shall suffer persecution. 13But evil men and seducers shall grow worse and worse: erring, and driving into error. 14But continue thou in those things which thou hast learned, and which have been committed to thee: knowing of whom thou hast learned them; 15And because from thy infancy thou hast known the holy scriptures, which can instruct thee to salvation, by the faith which is in Christ Jesus. 16All scripture, inspired of God, is profitable to teach, to reprove, to correct, to instruct in justice, 17That the man of God may be perfect, furnished to every good work.

Responsorial Psalm

Psalm 119:157, 160, 161, 165, 166, 168

157Many are they that persecute me, and afflict me; but I have not declined from thy testimonies.

160The beginning of thy words is truth: all the judgments of thy justice are for ever.

161SIN. Princes have persecuted me without cause: and my heart hath been in awe of thy words.

165Much peace have they that love thy law, and to them there is no stumbling block.

166I looked to thy salvation, O Lord: and I loved thy commandments.

168I have kept thy commandments and thy testimonies: because all my ways are in thy sight.

Gospel

Mark 12:35-37

35And Jesus answering, said, teaching in the temple: How do the scribes say, that Christ is the son of David? 36For David himself saith by the Holy Ghost: The Lord said to my Lord, Sit on my right hand, until I make thy enemies thy footstool. 37David therefore himself calleth him Lord, and whence is he then his son? And a great multitude heard him gladly.
