Read in the CPDV: Mark 1
7And he called the twelve. And he began to send them out in twos, and he gave them authority over unclean spirits.
8And he instructed them not to take anything for the journey, except a staff: no traveling bag, no bread, and no money belt,
9but to wear sandals, and not to wear two tunics.
10And he said to them: “Whenever you have entered into a house, stay there until you depart from that place.
11And whoever will neither receive you, nor listen to you, as you go away from there, shake off the dust from your feet as a testimony against them.”
12And going out, they were preaching, so that people would repent.
13And they cast out many demons, and they anointed many of the sick with oil and healed 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.
