First Reading

Isaiah 53:10-11

10And the Lord was pleased to bruise him in infirmity: if he shall lay down his life for sin, he shall see a long-lived seed, and the will of the Lord shall be prosperous in his hand. 11Because his soul hath laboured, he shall see and be filled: by his knowledge shall this my just servant justify many, and he shall bear their iniquities.

Responsorial Psalm

Psalm 33:4-5, 18-19, 20, 22

4For the word of the Lord is right, and all his works are done with faithfulness.

5He loveth mercy and judgment; the earth is full of the mercy of the Lord.

18Behold the eyes of the Lord are on them that fear him: and on them that hope in his mercy.

19To deliver their souls from death; and feed them in famine.

20Our soul waiteth for the Lord: for he is our helper and protector.

22Let thy mercy, O Lord, be upon us, as we have hoped in thee.

Second Reading

Hebrews 4:14-16

14Having therefore a great high priest that hath passed into the heavens, Jesus the Son of God: let us hold fast our confession. 15For we have not a high priest, who can not have compassion on our infirmities: but one tempted in all things like as we are, without sin. 16Let us go therefore with confidence to the throne of grace: that we may obtain mercy, and find grace in seasonable aid.

Gospel

Mark 10:35-45 or 10:42-45

35And James and John the sons of Zebedee, come to him, saying: Master, we desire that whatsoever we shall ask, thou wouldst do it for us: 36But he said to them: What would you that I should do for you? 37And they said: Grant to us, that we may sit, one on thy right hand, and the other on thy left hand, in thy glory. 38And Jesus said to them: You know not what you ask. Can you drink of the chalice that I drink of: or be baptized with the baptism wherewith I am baptized? 39But they said to him: We can. And Jesus saith to them: You shall indeed drink of the chalice that I drink of: and with the baptism wherewith I am baptized, you shall be baptized. 40But to sit on my right hand, or on my left, is not mine to give to you, but to them for whom it is prepared. 41And the ten hearing it, began to be much displeased at James and John. 42But Jesus calling them, saith to them: You know that they who seem to rule over the Gentiles, lord it over them: and their princes have power over them. 43But it is not so among you: but whosoever will be greater, shall be your minister. 44And whosoever will be first among you, shall be the servant of all. 45For the Son of man also is not come to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give his life a redemption for many.
