For this reason, he is not ashamed to call them brothers, saying: Catholic Public Domain Version Read in the CPDV: [The whole of Hebrews 2](https://blessbible.app/bible/hebrews/2/) ### Alleluia: 1 John 4:12 Read in the CPDV: [1 John 4](https://blessbible.app/bible/1-john/4/) ### Gospel: Mark 10:2-16 or 10:2-12 - 2 And approaching, the Pharisees questioned him, testing him: “Is it lawful for a man to dismiss his wife?” - 3 But in response, he said to them, “What did Moses instruct you?” - 4 And they said, “Moses gave permission to write a bill of divorce and to dismiss her.” - 5 But Jesus responded by saying: “It was due to the hardness of your heart that he wrote that precept for you. - 6 But from the beginning of creation, God made them male and female. - 7 Because of this, a man shall leave behind his father and mother, and he shall cling to his wife. - 8 And these two shall be one in flesh. And so, they are now, not two, but one flesh. - 9 Therefore, what God has joined together, let no man separate.” - 10 And again, in the house, his disciples questioned him about the same thing. - 11 And he said to them: “Whoever dismisses his wife, and marries another, commits adultery against her. - 12 And if a wife dismisses her husband, and is married to another, she commits adultery.” - 13 And they brought to him the little children, so that he might touch them. But the disciples admonished those who brought them. - 14 But 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. - 15 Amen I say to you, whoever will not accept the kingdom of God like a little child, will not enter into it.” - 16 And 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. Spotted a wrong date, color or citation?
