Gospel Mark 3:7-12
7But Jesus withdrew with his disciples to the sea. And a great crowd followed him from Galilee and Judea,
8and from Jerusalem, and from Idumea and across the Jordan. And those around Tyre and Sidon, upon hearing what he was doing, came to him in a great multitude.
9And he told his disciples that a small boat would be useful to him, because of the crowd, lest they press upon him.
10For he healed so many, that as many of them as had wounds would rush toward him in order to touch him.
11And the unclean spirits, when they saw him, fell prostrate before him. And they cried out, saying,
12“You are the Son of God.” And he strongly admonished them, lest they make him known.

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.
