Responsorial Psalm Psalm 33:4-5, 18-19, 20, 22
Read in the CPDV: Psalm 33 (32 in the Vulgate)
Second Reading Hebrews 4:14-16
14Therefore, since we have a great High Priest, who has pierced the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, we should hold to our confession.
15For we do not have a high priest who is unable to have compassion on our infirmities, but rather one who was tempted in all things, just as we are, yet without sin.
16Therefore, let us go forth with confidence toward the throne of grace, so that we may obtain mercy, and find grace, in a helpful time.

Gospel Mark 10:35-45 or 10:42-45
35And James and John, the sons of Zebedee, drew near to him, saying, “Teacher, we wish that whatever we will ask, you would do for us.”
36But he said to them, “What do you want me to do for you?”
37And they said, “Grant to us that we may sit, one at your right and the other at your left, in your glory.”
38But Jesus said to them: “You do not know what you are asking. Are you able to drink from the chalice from which I drink, or to be baptized with the baptism with which I am to be baptized?”
39But they said to him, “We can.” Then Jesus said to them: “Indeed, you shall drink from the chalice, from which I drink; and you shall be baptized with the baptism, with which I am to be baptized.
40But to sit at my right, or at my left, is not mine to give to you, but it is for those for whom it has been prepared.”
41And the ten, upon hearing this, began to be indignant toward James and John.
42But Jesus, calling them, said to them: “You know that those who seem to be leaders among the Gentiles dominate them, and their leaders exercise authority over them.
43But it is not to be this way among you. Instead, whoever would become greater shall be your minister;
44and whoever will be first among you shall be the servant of all.
45So, too, the Son of man has not come so that they would minister to him, but so that he would minister and would give his life as a redemption for many.”

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.
