First reading: Zechariah 8:1-8

Douay-Rheims: Zacharias 8:1-8

¹And the word of the Lord of hosts came to me, saying: ²Thus saith the Lord of hosts: I have been jealous for Sion with a great jealousy, and with a great indignation have I been jealous for her. ³Thus saith the Lord of hosts: I am returned to Sion, and I will dwell in the midst of Jerusalem: and Jerusalem shall be called The city of truth, and the mountain of the Lord of hosts, The sanctified mountain. ⁴Thus saith the Lord of hosts: There shall yet old men and old women dwell in the streets of Jerusalem: and every man with his staff in his hand through multitude of days. ⁵And the streets of the city shall be full of boys and girls, playing in the streets thereof. ⁶Thus saith the Lord of hosts: If it seem hard in the eyes of the remnant of this people in those days: shall it be hard in my eyes, saith the Lord of hosts? ⁷Thus saith the Lord of hosts: Behold I will save my people from the land of the east, and from the land of the going down of the sun. ⁸And I will bring them, and they shall dwell in the midst of Jerusalem: and they shall be my people, and I will be their God in truth and in justice.

Responsorial Psalm: Psalm 102:16-18, 19-21, 29 and 22-23

Douay-Rheims: Psalm 101:16-21, 29, 22-23 (Psalm 102 at Mass)

¹⁶And the Gentiles shall fear thy name, O Lord, and all the kings of the earth thy glory. ¹⁷For the Lord hath built up Sion: and he shall be seen in his glory. ¹⁸He hath had regard to the prayer of the humble: and he hath not despised their petition. ¹⁹Let these things be written unto another generation: and the people that shall be created shall praise the Lord: ²⁰Because he hath looked forth from his high sanctuary: from heaven the Lord hath looked upon the earth. ²¹That he might hear the groans of them that are in fetters: that he might release the children of the slain:

²⁹The children of thy servants shall continue: and their seed shall be directed for ever.

²²That they may declare the name of the Lord in Sion: and his praise in Jerusalem; ²³When the people assemble together, and kings, to serve the Lord.

Gospel: Luke 9:46-50

Douay-Rheims: Luke 9:46-50

⁴⁶And there entered a thought into them, which of them should be greater. ⁴⁷But Jesus seeing the thoughts of their heart, took a child and set him by him, ⁴⁸And said to them: Whosoever shall receive this child in my name, receiveth me; and whosoever shall receive me, receiveth him that sent me. For he that is the lesser among you all, he is the greater. ⁴⁹And John, answering, said: Master, we saw a certain man casting out devils in thy name, and we forbade him, because he followeth not with us. ⁵⁰And Jesus said to him: Forbid him not; for he that is not against you, is for you.

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.
