First Reading Hebrews 6:10-20

10For God is not unjust, such that he would forget your work and the love that you have shown in his name. For you have ministered, and you continue to minister, to the saints.
11Yet we desire that each one of you display the same solicitude toward the fulfillment of hope, even unto the end,
12so that you may not be slow to act, but instead may be imitators of those who, through faith and patience, shall inherit the promises.
13For God, in making promises to Abraham, swore by himself, (because he had no one greater by whom he might swear),
14saying: “Blessing, I shall bless you, and multiplying, I shall multiply you.”
15And in this way, by enduring patiently, he secured the promise.
16For men swear by what is greater than themselves, and an oath as confirmation is the end of all their controversy.
17In this matter, God, wanting to reveal more thoroughly the immutability of his counsel to the heirs of the promise, interposed an oath,
18so that by two immutable things, in which it is impossible for God to lie, we may have the strongest solace: we who have fled together so as to hold fast to the hope set before us.
19This we have as an anchor of the soul, safe and sound, which advances even to the interior of the veil,
20to the place where the forerunner Jesus has entered on our behalf, so as to become the High Priest for eternity, according to the order of Melchizedek.

Gospel Mark 2:23-28

23And again, while the Lord was walking through the ripe grain on the Sabbath, his disciples, as they advanced, began to separate the ears of grains.
24But the Pharisees said to him, “Behold, why are they doing what is not lawful on the Sabbaths?”
25And he said to them: “Have you never read what David did, when he had need and was hungry, both he and those who were with him?
26How he went into the house of God, under the high priest Abiathar, and ate the bread of the Presence, which it was not lawful to eat, except for the priests, and how he gave it to those who were with him?”
27And he said to them: “The Sabbath was made for man, and not man for the Sabbath.
28And so, the Son of man is Lord, even of the Sabbath.”

Citations as published in the USCCB liturgical calendar.

In US parishes the readings are proclaimed from the NABRE; the text shown here is the Catholic Public Domain Version.

Old Testament readings and the psalm are listed with a link to their chapter: the US Lectionary numbers some of their verses differently from the CPDV, so their text is not printed here. Psalm citations keep the Lectionary’s Hebrew numbering; the CPDV numbers the Psalms as the Vulgate does.
