Catholic Public Domain Version Read in the CPDV: [The whole of Hebrews 4](https://blessbible.app/bible/hebrews/4/) ### Alleluia: Mark 10:45 Read in the CPDV: [Mark 10](https://blessbible.app/bible/mark/10/) ### Gospel: Mark 10:35-45 or 10:42-45 - 35 And 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.” - 36 But he said to them, “What do you want me to do for you?” - 37 And they said, “Grant to us that we may sit, one at your right and the other at your left, in your glory.” - 38 But 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?” - 39 But 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. - 40 But 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.” - 41 And the ten, upon hearing this, began to be indignant toward James and John. - 42 But 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. - 43 But it is not to be this way among you. Instead, whoever would become greater shall be your minister; - 44 and whoever will be first among you shall be the servant of all. - 45 So, 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.” Catholic Public Domain Version · Shown: the longer form, Mark 10:35-45 Read in the CPDV: [The whole of Mark 10](https://blessbible.app/bible/mark/10/) Computed by Bless from the US Lectionary cycle — confirm with your parish. 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?
