Douay-Rheims: Hebrews 5:1-10

¹For every high priest taken from among men, is ordained for men in the things that appertain to God, that he may offer up gifts and sacrifices for sins: ²Who can have compassion on them that are ignorant and that err: because he himself also is compassed with infirmity. ³And therefore he ought, as for the people, so also for himself, to offer for sins. ⁴Neither doth any man take the honour to himself, but he that is called by God, as Aaron was. ⁵So Christ also did not glorify himself, that he might be made a high priest: but he that said unto him: Thou art my Son, this day have I begotten thee. ⁶As he saith also in another place: Thou art a priest for ever, according to the order of Melchisedech. ⁷Who in the days of his flesh, with a strong cry and tears, offering up prayers and supplications to him that was able to save him from death, was heard for his reverence. ⁸And whereas indeed he was the Son of God, he learned obedience by the things which he suffered: ⁹And being consummated, he became, to all that obey him, the cause of eternal salvation. ¹⁰Called by God a high priest according to the order of Melchisedech.

Douay-Rheims: Psalm 109:1-4 (Psalm 110 at Mass)

¹The Lord said to my Lord: Sit thou at my right hand: Until I make thy enemies thy footstool. ²The Lord will send forth the sceptre of thy power out of Sion: rule thou in the midst of thy enemies. ³With thee is the principality in the day of thy strength: in the brightness of the saints: from the womb before the day star I begot thee. ⁴The Lord hath sworn, and he will not repent: Thou art a priest for ever according to the order of Melchisedech.

Douay-Rheims: Mark 2:18-22

¹⁸And the disciples of John and the Pharisees used to fast. And they come and say to him: Why do the disciples of John and of the Pharisees fast; but thy disciples do not fast? ¹⁹And Jesus saith to them: Can the children of the marriage fast, as long as the bridegroom is with them? As long as they have the bridegroom with them, they cannot fast. ²⁰But the days will come when the bridegroom shall be taken away from them; and then they shall fast in those days. ²¹No man seweth a piece of raw cloth to an old garment: otherwise the new piecing taketh away from the old, and there is made a greater rent. ²²And no man putteth new wine into old bottles: otherwise the wine will burst the bottles, and both the wine will be spilled, and the bottles will be lost. But new wine must be put into new bottles.
