First ReadingIsaiah 53:10-11

From the Book of Isaiah

10Yet it pleased the Lord to bruise him.He has caused him to suffer.When you make his soul an offering for sin,he will see his offspring.He will prolong his daysand the Lord’s pleasure will prosper in his hand.11After the suffering of his soul,he will see the light and be satisfied.My righteous servant will justify many by the knowledge of himself;and he will bear their iniquities.

Responsorial PsalmPsalm 33:4-5, 18-19, 20, 22

4For the Lord’s word is right.All his work is done in faithfulness.5He loves righteousness and justice.The earth is full of the loving kindness of the Lord.

18Behold, the Lord’s eye is on those who fear him,on those who hope in his loving kindness,19to deliver their soul from death,to keep them alive in famine.

20Our soul has waited for the Lord.He is our help and our shield.

22Let your loving kindness be on us, Lord,since we have hoped in you.

Second ReadingHebrews 4:14-16

From the Letter to the Hebrews

14Having then a great high priestwho has passed through the heavens,Jesus, the Son of God,let’s hold tightly to our confession.15For we don’t have a high priestwho can’t be touched with the feeling of our infirmities,but one who has been in all points tempted like we are, yet without sin.16Let’s therefore draw near with boldness to the throne of grace,that we may receive mercyand may find grace for help in time of need.

GospelMark 10:35-45

From the Gospel according to Mark

or Mark 10:42-45

35James and John, the sons of Zebedee,came near to him, saying,“Teacher, we want you to do for us whatever we will ask.”

36He said to them, “What do you want me to do for you?”

37They said to him, “Grant to us that we may sit,one at your right handand one at your left hand, in your glory.”

38But Jesus said to them,“You don’t know what you are asking.Are you able to drink the cup that I drink,and to be baptized with the baptismthat I am baptized with?”

39They said to him, “We are able.”

Jesus said to them,“You shall indeed drink the cup that I drink,and you shall be baptized with the baptismthat I am baptized with;40but to sit at my right handand at my left hand is not mine to give,but for whom it has been prepared.”

41When the ten heard it,they began to be indignant toward James and John.

42Jesus summoned them and said to them,“You know that theywho are recognized as rulers over the nations lord it over them,and their great ones exercise authority over them.43But it shall not be so among you,but whoever wants to become great among you shall be your servant.44Whoever of you wants to become first among you shall be bondservant of all.45For the Son of Man also came not to be served but to serve,and to give his life as a ransom for many.”
