Read in the CPDV: 2 Corinthians 8
17And when he had departed on the way, a certain one, running up and kneeling before him, asked him, “Good Teacher, what shall I do, so that I may secure eternal life?”
18But Jesus said to him, “Why call me good? No one is good except the one God.
19You know the precepts: “Do not commit adultery. Do not kill. Do not steal. Do not speak false testimony. Do not deceive. Honor your father and mother.”
20But in response, he said to him, “Teacher, all these I have observed from my youth.”
21Then Jesus, gazing at him, loved him, and he said to him: “One thing is lacking to you. Go, sell whatever you have, and give to the poor, and then you will have treasure in heaven. And come, follow me.”
22But he went away grieving, having been greatly saddened by the word. For he had many possessions.
23And Jesus, looking around, said to his disciples, “How difficult it is for those who have riches to enter into the kingdom of God!”
24And the disciples were astonished at his words. But Jesus, answering again, said to them: “Little sons, how difficult it is for those who trust in money to enter into the kingdom of God!
25It is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle, than for the rich to enter into the kingdom of God.”
26And they wondered even more, saying among themselves, “Who, then, can be saved?”
27And Jesus, gazing at them, said: “With men it is impossible; but not with God. For with God all things are possible.”

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.
