Gospel Mark 3:22-30
22And the scribes who had descended from Jerusalem said, “Because he has Beelzebub, and because by the prince of demons does he cast out demons.”
23And having called them together, he spoke to them in parables: “How can Satan cast out Satan?
24For if a kingdom is divided against itself, that kingdom is not able to stand.
25And if a house is divided against itself, that house is not able to stand.
26And if Satan has risen up against himself, he would be divided, and he would not be able to stand; instead he reaches the end.
27No one is able to plunder the goods of a strong man, having entered into the house, unless he first binds the strong man, and then he shall plunder his house.
28Amen I say to you, that all sins will be forgiven the sons of men, and the blasphemies by which they will have blasphemed.
29But he who will have blasphemed against the Holy Spirit shall not have forgiveness in eternity; instead he shall be guilty of an eternal offense.”
30For they said: “He has an unclean spirit.”

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.
