First reading: Hebrews 2:5-12
Douay-Rheims: Hebrews 2:5-12
5For God hath not subjected unto angels the world to come, whereof we speak. 6But one in a certain place hath testified, saying: What is man, that thou art mindful of him: or the son of man, that thou visitest him? 7Thou hast made him a little lower than the angels: thou hast crowned him with glory and honour, and hast set him over the works of thy hands: 8Thou hast subjected all things under his feet. For in that he hath subjected all things to him, he left nothing not subject to him. But now we see not as yet all things subject to him. 9But we see Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels, for the suffering of death, crowned with glory and honour: that, through the grace of God, he might taste death for all. 10For it became him, for whom are all things, and by whom are all things, who had brought many children into glory, to perfect the author of their salvation, by his passion. 11For both he that sanctifieth, and they who are sanctified, are all of one. For which cause he is not ashamed to call them brethren, saying: 12I will declare thy name to my brethren; in the midst of the church will I praise thee.
Responsorial Psalm: Psalm 8:2ab and 5, 6-7, 8-9
Douay-Rheims: Psalm 8:2, 5-9
2O Lord our Lord, how admirable is thy name in the whole earth! For thy magnificence is elevated above the heavens.
5What is man, that thou art mindful of him? or the son of man, that thou visitest him? 6Thou hast made him a little less than the angels, thou hast crowned him with glory and honour: 7And hast set him over the works of thy hands. 8Thou hast subjected all things under his feet, all sheep and oxen: moreover the beasts also of the fields. 9The birds of the air, and the fishes of the sea, that pass through the paths of the sea.
Gospel: Mark 1:21-28
Douay-Rheims: Mark 1:21-28
21And they entered into Capharnaum, and forthwith upon the sabbath days going into the synagogue, he taught them. 22And they were astonished at his doctrine. For he was teaching them as one having power, and not as the scribes. 23And there was in their synagogue a man with an unclean spirit; and he cried out, 24Saying: What have we to do with thee, Jesus of Nazareth? art thou come to destroy us? I know who thou art, the Holy One of God. 25And Jesus threatened him, saying: Speak no more, and go out of the man. 26And the unclean spirit tearing him, and crying out with a loud voice, went out of him. 27And they were all amazed, insomuch that they questioned among themselves, saying: What thing is this? what is this new doctrine? for with power he commandeth even the unclean spirits, and they obey him. 28And the fame of him was spread forthwith into all the country of Galilee.
