First Reading
Isaiah 53:10-11
10 It was Yahweh's good
pleasure to crush him with pain; if he gives his life as a sin offering, he
will see his offspring and prolong his life, and through him Yahweh's good
pleasure will be done.
11 After the ordeal he
has endured, he will see the light and be content. By his knowledge, the
upright one, my servant will justify many by taking their guilt on himself.
“The
Word of the Lord”
PSALMS 33:4-5, 18-19,
20, 22
4 The word of Yahweh is
straightforward, all he does springs from his constancy.
5 He loves uprightness
and justice; the faithful love of Yahweh fills the earth.
18 But see how Yahweh
watches over those who fear him, those who rely on his faithful love,
19 to rescue them from
death and keep them alive in famine.
20 We are waiting for
Yahweh; he is our help and our shield,
22 Yahweh, let your
faithful love rest on us, as our hope has rested in you.
Second Reading
Hebrews 4:14-16
14 Since in Jesus, the
Son of God, we have the supreme high priest who has gone through to the highest
heaven, we must hold firm to our profession of faith.
15 For the high priest
we have is not incapable of feeling our weaknesses with us, but has been put to
the test in exactly the same way as ourselves, apart from sin.
16 Let us, then, have no
fear in approaching the throne of grace to receive mercy and to find grace when
we are in need of help.
Gospel Reading
Mark 10:35-45
35 James and John, the
sons of Zebedee, approached him. 'Master,' they said to him, 'We want you to do
us a favour.'
36 He said to them,
'What is it you want me to do for you?'
37 They said to him,
'Allow us to sit one at your right hand and the other at your left in your
glory.'
38 But Jesus said to
them, 'You do not know what you are asking. Can you drink the cup that I shall
drink, or be baptised with the baptism with which I shall be baptised?'
39 They replied, 'We
can.' Jesus said to them, 'The cup that I shall drink you shall drink, and with
the baptism with which I shall be baptised you shall be baptised,
40 but as for seats at
my right hand or my left, these are not mine to grant; they belong to those to
whom they have been allotted.'
41 When the other ten
heard this they began to feel indignant with James and John,
42 so Jesus called them
to him and said to them, 'You know that among the gentiles those they call
their rulers lord it over them, and their great men make their authority felt.
43 Among you this is not
to happen. No; anyone who wants to become great among you must be your servant,
44 and anyone who wants
to be first among you must be slave to all.
45 For the Son of man
himself came not to be served but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom
for many.'
