Responsorial Psalm: Psalm 25:2-3, 4-5ab, 6 and 7bc, 8-9

Douay-Rheims: Psalm 24:2-9 (Psalm 25 at Mass)

2In thee, O my God, I put my trust; let me not be ashamed. 3Neither let my enemies laugh at me: for none of them that wait on thee shall be confounded. 4Let all them be confounded that act unjust things without cause. Shew, O Lord, thy ways to me, and teach me thy paths. 5Direct me in thy truth, and teach me; for thou art God my Saviour; and on thee have I waited all the day long. 6Remember, O Lord, thy bowels of compassion; and thy mercies that are from the beginning of the world. 7The sins of my youth and my ignorances do not remember. According to thy mercy remember thou me: for thy goodness’ sake, O Lord. 8The Lord is sweet and righteous: therefore he will give a law to sinners in the way. 9He will guide the mild in judgment: he will teach the meek his ways.

Gospel: Mark 12:18-27

Douay-Rheims: Mark 12:18-27

18And there came to him the Sadducees, who say there is no resurrection; and they asked him, saying: 19Master, Moses wrote unto us, that if any man’s brother die, and leave his wife behind him, and leave no children, his brother should take his wife, and raise up seed to his brother. 20Now there were seven brethren; and the first took a wife, and died leaving no issue. 21And the second took her, and died: and neither did he leave any issue. And the third in like manner. 22And the seven all took her in like manner; and did not leave issue. Last of all the woman also died. 23In the resurrection therefore, when they shall rise again, whose wife shall she be of them? for the seven had her to wife. 24And Jesus answering, saith to them: Do ye not therefore err, because you know not the scriptures, nor the power of God? 25For when they shall rise again from the dead, they shall neither marry, nor be married, but are as the angels in heaven. 26And as concerning the dead that they rise again, have you not read in the book of Moses, how in the bush God spoke to him, saying: I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob? 27He is not the God of the dead, but of the living. You therefore do greatly err.

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.
