Second Reading Hebrews 2:9-11
9Yet we understand that Jesus, who was reduced to a little less than the Angels, was crowned with glory and honor because of his Passion and death, in order that, by the grace of God, he might taste death for all.
10For it was fitting for him, because of whom and through whom all things exist, who had led many children into glory, to complete the authorship of their salvation through his Passion.
11For he who sanctifies, and those who are sanctified, are all from One. For this reason, he is not ashamed to call them brothers, saying:

Gospel Mark 10:2-16 or 10:2-12
2And approaching, the Pharisees questioned him, testing him: “Is it lawful for a man to dismiss his wife?”
3But in response, he said to them, “What did Moses instruct you?”
4And they said, “Moses gave permission to write a bill of divorce and to dismiss her.”
5But Jesus responded by saying: “It was due to the hardness of your heart that he wrote that precept for you.
6But from the beginning of creation, God made them male and female.
7Because of this, a man shall leave behind his father and mother, and he shall cling to his wife.
8And these two shall be one in flesh. And so, they are now, not two, but one flesh.
9Therefore, what God has joined together, let no man separate.”
10And again, in the house, his disciples questioned him about the same thing.
11And he said to them: “Whoever dismisses his wife, and marries another, commits adultery against her.
12And if a wife dismisses her husband, and is married to another, she commits adultery.”
13And they brought to him the little children, so that he might touch them. But the disciples admonished those who brought them.
14But when Jesus saw this, he took offense, and he said to them: “Allow the little ones to come to me, and do not prohibit them. For of such as these is the kingdom of God.
15Amen I say to you, whoever will not accept the kingdom of God like a little child, will not enter into it.”
16And embracing them, and laying his hands upon them, he blessed them.

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.
