From the First Letter of Paul to the Thessalonians
9But concerning brotherly love,you have no need that one write to you.For you yourselves are taught by God to love one another,10for indeed you do it toward all the brotherswho are in all Macedonia.But we exhort you,brothers, that you abound more and more;11and that you make it your ambition to lead a quiet life,and to do your own business,and to work with your own hands,even as we instructed you,
1Sing to the Lord a new song,for he has done marvelous things!His right hand and his holy arm have worked salvation for him.
7Let the sea roar with its fullness;the world, and those who dwell therein.8Let the rivers clap their hands.Let the mountains sing for joy together.
9Let them sing before the Lord,for he comes to judge the earth.He will judge the world with righteousness,and the peoples with equity.
From the Gospel according to Mark
17For Herod himself had sent out and arrested Johnand bound him in prison for the sake of Herodias,his brother Philip’s wife,for he had married her.18For John had said to Herod,“It is not lawful for you to have your brother’s wife.”19Herodias set herself against himand desired to kill him, but she couldn’t,20for Herod feared John,knowing that he was a righteous and holy man,and kept him safe.When he heard him,he did many things,and he heard him gladly.
21Then a convenient day camewhen Herod on his birthday made a supper for his nobles,the high officers,and the chief men of Galilee.22When the daughter of Herodias herself came in and danced,she pleased Herod and those sitting with him.The king said to the young lady,“Ask me whatever you want,and I will give it to you.”23He swore to her, “Whatever you ask of me,I will give you, up to half of my kingdom.”
24She went out and said to her mother, “What shall I ask?”
She said, “The head of John the Baptizer.”
25She came in immediately with haste to the king and requested,“I want you to give me right now the head of John the Baptizer on a platter.”
26The king was exceedingly sorry,but for the sake of his oaths and of his dinner guests,he didn’t wish to refuse her.27Immediately the king sent out a soldier of his guardand commanded to bring John’s head;and he went and beheaded him in the prison,28and brought his head on a platter,and gave it to the young lady;and the young lady gave it to her mother.
29When his disciples heard this,they came and took up his corpse and laid it in a tomb.
