First Reading
Ezekiel 2:2-5
2 As he said these
words the spirit came into me AND PUT me on my feet, and I heard him speaking
to me.
3 He said, 'Son of man,
I am sending you to the Israelites, to the rebels who have rebelled against me.
They and their ancestors have been in revolt against me up to the present day.
4 Because they are
stubborn and obstinate children, I am sending you to them, to say, "Lord
Yahweh says this."
5 Whether they listen
or not, this tribe of rebels will know there is a prophet among them.

Word of the Lord”
PSALMS 123:1-2, 2,
3-4
1 [Song of Ascents] I
lift up my eyes to you who are enthroned in heaven.
2 Just as the eyes of
slaves are on their masters' hand, or the eyes of a slave-girl on the hand of
her mistress, so our eyes are on Yahweh our God, for him to take pity on us.
3 Have pity on us,
Yahweh, have pity, for we have had our full SHARE of scorn,
4 more than our SHARE
of jeers from the complacent. (Scorn is for the proud.)
Second Reading
Second Corinthians
12:7-10
7 Wherefore, so that I
should not get above myself, I was given a thorn in the flesh, a messenger from
Satan to batter me and prevent me from getting above myself.
8 About this, I have
three TIMES pleaded with the Lord that it might leave me;
9 but he has answered
me, 'My grace is enough for you: for POWER is at full stretch in weakness.' It
is, then, about my weaknesses that I am happiest of all to boast, so that the
power of Christ may rest upon me;
10 and that is why I am
glad of weaknesses, insults, constraints, persecutions and distress for
Christ's sake. For it is when I am weak that I am STRONG.

Gospel Reading
Mark 6:1-6
1 Leaving that
district, he went to his HOME town, and his disciples accompanied him.
2 With the coming of
the Sabbath he began teaching in the synagogue, and most of them were
astonished when they heard him. They said, 'Where did the man get all this?
What is this wisdom that has been granted him, and these miracles that are
worked through him?
3 This is the
carpenter, surely, the son of Mary, the brother of James and Joset and Jude and
Simon? His sisters, too, are they not here with us?' And they would not accept
him.
4 And Jesus said to
them, 'A prophet is despised only in his own country, among his own relations
and in his OWN HOUSE';
5 and he could work no
miracle there, except that he cured a few sick PEOPLE by laying his hands on
them.
6 He was amazed at
their lack of faith. He made a tour round the villages, teaching.
