First Reading Hebrews 12:4-7, 11-15

4For you have not yet resisted unto blood, while striving against sin.
5And you have forgotten the consolation which speaks to you like sons, saying: “My son, do not be willing to neglect the discipline of the Lord. Neither should you become weary, while being rebuked by him.”
6For whomever the Lord loves, he chastises. And every son whom he accepts, he scourges.
7Persevere in discipline. God presents you to himself as sons. But what son is there, whom his father does not correct?
Some verses are not read.
11Now every discipline, in the present time, does not seem a gladness, of course, but a grief. But afterwards, it will repay a most peaceful fruit of justice to those who become trained in it.
12Because of this, lift up your lazy hands and your lax knees,
13and straighten the path of your feet, so that no one, being lame, may wander astray, but instead may be healed.
14Pursue peace with everyone. Pursue sanctity, without which no one shall see God.
15Be contemplative, lest anyone lack the grace of God, lest any root of bitterness spring up and impede you, and by it, many might be defiled,

Gospel Mark 6:1-6

1And departing from there, he went away to his own country; and his disciples followed him.
2And when the Sabbath arrived, he began to teach in the synagogue. And many, upon hearing him, were amazed at his doctrine, saying: “Where did this one get all these things?” and, “What is this wisdom, which has been given to him?” and, “Such powerful deeds, which are wrought by his hands!”
3“Is this not the carpenter, the son of Mary, the brother of James, and Joseph, and Jude, and Simon? Are not his sisters also here with us?” And they took great offense at him.
4And Jesus said to them, “A prophet is not without honor, except in his own country, and in his own house, and among his own kindred.”
5And he was not able to perform any miracles there, except that he cured a few of the infirm by laying his hands on them.
6And he wondered, because of their unbelief, and he traveled around in the villages, teaching.

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.
