Reading I

Heb 1:1-6

God, who, at sundry times and in divers manners, spoke in times past to the fathers by the prophets, last of all,

In these days, hath spoken to us by his Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the world.

Who being the brightness of his glory and the figure of his substance and upholding all things by the word of his power, making purgation of sins, sitteth on the right hand of the majesty on high:

Being made so much better than the angels as he hath inherited a more excellent name than they.

For to which of the angels hath he said at any time: Thou art my Son, to-day have I begotten thee? And again: I will be to him a Father, and he shall be to me a Son?

And again, when he bringeth in the first begotten into the world, he saith: And let all the angels of God adore him.

Responsorial Psalm

Ps 97:1+2b, 6+7c, 9

For the same David, when his land was restored again to him. The Lord hath reigned, let the earth rejoice: let many islands be glad.

Clouds and darkness are round about him: justice and judgment are the establishment of his throne.

The heavens declared his justice: and all people saw his glory.

Let them be all confounded that adore graven things, and that glory in their idols. Adore him, all you his angels:

For thou art the most high Lord over all the earth: thou art exalted exceedingly above all gods.

Gospel Acclamation

Mark 1:15

And saying: The time is accomplished and the kingdom of God is at hand. Repent and believe the gospel:

Gospel

Mark 1:14-20

And after that John was delivered up, Jesus came in Galilee, preaching the gospel of the kingdom of God,

And saying: The time is accomplished and the kingdom of God is at hand. Repent and believe the gospel:

And passing by the sea of Galilee, he saw Simon and Andrew his brother, casting nets into the sea for they were fishermen.

And Jesus said to them: Come after me; and I will make you to become fishers of men.

And immediately leaving their nets, they followed him.

And going on from thence a little farther, he saw James the son of Zebedee and John his brother, who also were mending their nets in the ship:

And forthwith he called them. And leaving their father Zebedee in the ship with his hired men, they followed him.

About These Readings

Scripture text from the Douay-Rheims Bible (Challoner revision, 1899), which is in the public domain. The Mass readings follow the Lectionary for Mass approved for the dioceses of the United States.

The Douay-Rheims follows the Vulgate numbering, which in the Psalms, Sirach, and a few other books can differ by a chapter or a few verses from the numbering in the modern Lectionary. The text is the same passage.
