Responsorial Psalm: Psalm 50:5-6, 7-8, 14, 23

Douay-Rheims: Psalm 49:5-8, 14, 23 (Psalm 50 at Mass)

⁵Gather ye together his saints to him: who set his covenant before sacrifices. ⁶And the heavens shall declare his justice: for God is judge. ⁷Hear, O my people, and I will speak: O Israel, and I will testify to thee: I am God, thy God. ⁸I will not reprove thee for thy sacrifices: and thy burnt offerings are always in my sight.

¹⁴Offer to God the sacrifice of praise: and pay thy vows to the most High.

²³The sacrifice of praise shall glorify me: and there is the way by which I will shew him the salvation of God.

Gospel: Mark 10:28-31

Douay-Rheims: Mark 10:28-31

²⁸And Peter began to say unto him: Behold, we have left all things, and have followed thee. ²⁹Jesus answering, said: Amen I say to you, there is no man who hath left house or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or children, or lands, for my sake and for the gospel, ³⁰Who shall not receive an hundred times as much, now in this time; houses, and brethren, and sisters, and mothers, and children, and lands, with persecutions: and in the world to come life everlasting. ³¹But many that are first, shall be last: and the last, first.

The same passages in the Douay-Rheims Bible (Challoner revision), the translation we use on this site. The words read at Mass come from the Lectionary for Mass and differ. Where a reading begins or ends partway through a verse, the whole verse is shown. For the official text, open the readings on the USCCB site.
