First Reading
Second Samuel 5:1-3
1 All the tribes of
Israel then came to David at Hebron and said, 'Look, we are your own flesh and
bone.
2 In days past when
Saul was our king, it was you who led Israel on its campaigns, and to you it
was that Yahweh promised, "You are to shepherd my people Israel and be
leader of Israel." '
3 So all the elders of
Israel came to the king at Hebron, and King David made a pact with them in
Yahweh's presence at Hebron, and they anointed David as king of Israel.

PSALMS 122:1-2, 3-4, 4-5
1 [Song of Ascents Of
David] I rejoiced that they said to me, 'Let us go to the house of Yahweh.'
2 At last our feet are
standing at your gates, Jerusalem!
3 Jerusalem, built as a
city, in one united whole,
4 there the tribes go
up, the tribes of Yahweh, a sign for Israel to give thanks to the name of
Yahweh.
5 For there are set the
thrones of judgement, the thrones of the house of David.
Second Reading
Colossians 1:12-20
12 giving thanks with
joy to the Father who has made you able to share the lot of God's holy people
and with them to inherit the light.
13 Because that is what
he has done. It is he who has rescued us from the ruling force of darkness and
transferred us to the kingdom of the Son that he loves,
14 and in him we enjoy
our freedom, the forgiveness of sin.
15 He is the image of
the unseen God, the first-born of all creation,
16 for in him were
created all things in heaven and on earth: everything visible and everything
invisible, thrones, ruling forces, sovereignties, powers -- all things were
created through him and for him.
17 He exists before all
things and in him all things hold together,
18 and he is the Head of
the Body, that is, the Church. He is the Beginning, the first-born from the
dead, so that he should be supreme in every way;
19 because God wanted
all fullness to be found in him
20 and through him to
reconcile all things to him, everything in heaven and everything on earth, by
making peace through his death on the cross.

Gospel Reading
Luke 23:35-43
35 The people stayed
there watching. As for the leaders, they jeered at him with the words, 'He
saved others, let him save himself if he is the Christ of God, the Chosen One.'
36 The soldiers mocked
him too, coming up to him, offering him vinegar,
37 and saying, 'If you
are the king of the Jews, save yourself.'
38 Above him there was
an inscription: 'This is the King of the Jews'.
39 One of the criminals
hanging there abused him: 'Are you not the Christ? Save yourself and us as
well.'
40 But the other spoke
up and rebuked him. 'Have you no fear of God at all?' he said. 'You got the
same sentence as he did,
41 but in our case we
deserved it: we are paying for what we did. But this man has done nothing
wrong.'
42 Then he said, 'Jesus,
remember me when you come into your kingdom.'
43 He answered him, 'In
truth I tell you, today you will be with me in paradise.'
