New American Bible readings
First reading (Ezekiel 2: 2–5)
A reading from the book of the prophet Ezekiel.
As the LORD spoke to me, the spirit entered into me and set me on my feet, and I heard the one who was speaking say to me: Son of man, I am sending you to the Israelites, rebels who have rebelled against me; they and their ancestors have revolted against me to this very day. Hard of face and obstinate of heart are they to whom I am sending you. But you shall say to them: Thus says the LORD GOD! And whether they heed or resist—for they are a rebellious house—they shall know that a prophet has been among them.

Second reading (2 Corinthians 12: 7–10)
A reading from the second letter of Saint Paul to the Corinthians.
Brothers and sisters: That I, Paul, might not become too elated, because of the abundance of the revelations, a thorn in the flesh was given to me, an angel of Satan, to beat me, to keep me from being too elated. Three times I begged the Lord about this, that it might leave me, but he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for power is made perfect in weakness.” I will rather boast most gladly of my weaknesses, in order that the power of Christ may dwell with me. Therefore, I am content with weaknesses, insults, hardships, persecutions, and constraints, for the sake of Christ; for when I am weak, then I am strong.

Gospel (Mark 6: 1–6)
A reading from the holy Gospel according to Mark.
Jesus departed from there and came to his native place, accompanied by his disciples. When the Sabbath came he began to teach in the synagogue, and many who heard him were astonished. They said, “Where did this man get all this? What kind of wisdom has been given him? What mighty deeds are wrought by his hands! Is he not the carpenter, the son of Mary, and the brother of James and Joset and Judas and Simon? And are not his sisters here with us?” And they took offense at him. Jesus said to them, “A prophet is not without honor except in his native place and among his own kin and in his own house.” So he was not able to perform any mighty deed there, apart from curing a few sick people by laying his hands on them. He was amazed at their lack of faith.

Catholic Pastoral Edition Bible readings
First reading (Ezekiel 2: 2–5)
A reading from the book of the prophet Ezekiel.
A spirit come upon me as he spoke and kept me standing and then I heard him speak, "Son of man, I am sending you to the Israelites, to a people who have rebelled against me; they and their fathers have sinned against me to this day. Now I am sending you to these defiant and stubborn people to tell them 'this is the Lord God's word.' So, whether they listen or not this set of rebels will know there is a prophet among them."


Second reading (2 Corinthians 12: 7–10)
A reading from the second letter of Saint Paul to the Corinthians.
I better give up lest somebody think more of me than what is seen in me or 
heard from me. Lest I become proud after so many and extraordinary revelations, I was given a thorn in my flesh, a true messenger of Satan, to slap me in the face. Three times I prayed to the Lord that it leave me, but he answered, "My grace is enough for you; my great strength is revealed in weakness." Gladly, then, will I boast of my weakness that the strength of Christ may be mine. So I rejoice when I suffer infirmities, humiliations, want, persecutions: all for Christ! For when I am weak, then I am strong.


Gospel (Mark 6: 1–6)
A reading from the holy Gospel according to Mark.
Leaving that place, Jesus returned to his own country, and his disciples followed him. When the sabbath came, he began teaching in the synagogue, and most of those who heard him were astonished. They commented, "How did this come to him? What kind of wisdom has been given to him that he also performs such miracles? Who is he but the carpenter, the son of Mary and the brother of James and Joset and Judas and Simon? His sisters, too, are they not here among us?" So they took offense at him. And Jesus stated to them, "Prophets are despised only in their own country, among their relatives and in their own family." And he could work no miracles there, but only healed a few sick people by laying his hands on them. Jesus himself was astounded at their unbelief. Jesus then went around the villages, teaching.

  1. Responsorial Psalm (Psalm 123) (Verses 1–4)
    The response is: Our eyes are fixed on the Lord, pleading for his mercy.

    To you I lift up my eyes, to you whose throne is in heaven, as the eyes of servants look to the hand of their master.

    As the eyes of maids look to the hand of their mistress, so our eyes look to the Lord our God, till he shows us his mercy.

    Have mercy on us, O Lord, have mercy on us, for we have our fill of contempt. Too long have our souls been filled with the scorn of the arrogant, with the ridicule of the insolent.

  2. Responsorial Psalm (Psalm 123) (Verses 1–4)
    The response is: Our eyes are fixed on the Lord, pleading for his mercy.

    To you I lift up my eyes who are enthroned in heaven — as the eyes of servants are on the hands of their masters.

    As the eyes of a maid are on the hands of her mistress, so are our eyes on the LORD, our God, till he have pity on us.

    Have pity on us, O LORD, have pity on us, for we are more than sated with contempt; our souls are more than sated with the mockery of the arrogant, with the contempt of the proud.

  4. Primera lectura (Ezequiel 2: 2–5)
    Una lectura del libro del profeta Ezequiel.
    En el mismo momento en que me habla, entra en mí un espíritu y me hace ponerme de pie; entonces oigo que me dice: “Hijo de hombre, te envío donde los Israelitas, a un pueblo de rebeldes que se han rebelado contra mí; ellos y sus padres me han sido infieles hasta el día de hoy. Te envío donde esa raza de cabezas duras y de corazones obstinados para que les digas: ‘Esta es la palabra de Yahvé.’ Te escucharán o no te escucharán porque son una raza de rebeldes, pero sabrán que hay un profeta en medio de ellos.”

    Salmo responsorial (Salmo 123) (Versículos 1–4)
    La respuesta es: Nuestros ojos se fijan al Señor, rogando por su misericordia.
    • Levanto mis ojos hacia ti, que habitas en el cielo. Los ojos de los servidores están fijos en las manos de su señor.
    • Los ojos de la servidora en las manos de su dueña: así miran nuestros ojos al Señor, nuestro Dios, hasta que se apiade de nosotros.
    • ¡Ten piedad, Señor, ten piedad de nosotros, porque estamos hartos de desprecios! Nuestra alma está saturada de la burla de los arrogantes, del desprecio de los orgullosos.

    Segunda lectura (2 Corintios 12: 7–10)
    Una lectura de la segunda carta de San Pablo a los corintios.
    Y para que la grandeza de las revelaciones no me envanezca, tengo una espina clavada en mi carne, un ángel de Satanás que me hiere. Tres veces pedí al Señor que me librara, pero él me respondió: “Te basta mi gracia, porque mi poder triunfa en la debilidad.” Más bien, me gloriaré de todo corazón en mi debilidad, para que resida en mí el poder de Cristo. Por eso, me complazco en mis debilidades, en los oprobios, en las privaciones, en las persecuciones y en las angustias soportadas por amor de Cristo; porque cuando soy débil, entonces soy fuerte.

    Evangelio (Marcos 6: 1–6)
    Una lectura del Evangelio Santo según el San Marcos.
    Al irse Jesús de allí, volvió a su tierra, y sus discípulos se fueron con él. Cuando llegó el sábado, se puso a enseñar en la sinagoga y mucha gente lo escuchaba con estupor. Se preguntaban: “¿De dónde le viene todo esto? ¿Y qué pensar de la sabiduría que ha recibido, con esos milagros que salen de sus manos? Pero no es más que el carpintero, el hijo de María; es un hermano de Santiago, de Joset, de Judas y Simón. ¿Y sus hermanas no están aquí entre nosotros?” Jesús les dijo: “Si hay un lugar donde un profeta es despreciado, es en su tierra, entre sus parientes y en su propia familia.” Y no pudo hacer allí ningún milagro. Tan sólo sanó a unos pocos enfermos imponiéndoles las manos. Jesús se admiraba de cómo se negaban a creer. Jesús recorría todos los pueblos de los alrededores enseñando.

  5. Bacaan Pertama (Yehezkiel 2: 2–5)
    Pembacaan dari kitab dari nabi Yehezkiel.
    Sewaktu suara itu kudengar, masuklah Roh Allah ke dalam diriku, dan ditegakkannya aku. Kemudian kudengar lagi suara itu mengatakan, “Hai manusia fana, engkau Kuutus kepada orang-orang Israel yang memberontak melawan Aku. Mereka itu pemberontak seperti nenek moyang mereka juga. Mereka keras kepala dan tidak menghormati Aku. Engkau Kuutus kepada mereka untuk menyampaikan apa yang Aku, TUHAN Yang Mahatinggi katakan kepada mereka, entah mereka mau mendengarkan atau tidak; yang penting, mereka harus tahu bahwa ada nabi di tengah-tengah mereka.”

    Mazmur (Mazmur 123) (Ayat 1–4)
    Tanggapan adalah: Kepada-Mu kami melayangkan mata kami, memohon rahmat-Nya.
    • Aku menengadah kepada-Mu ya TUHAN yang memerintah di surga. Seperti seorang hamba bergantung kepada tuannya.
    • Seorang hamba perempuan kepada nyonyanya, demikianlah kami menantikan Engkau, ya TUHAN, Allah kami, sampai Engkau mengasihani kami.
    • Kasihanilah kami, ya TUHAN, kasihanilah kami, sebab kami sudah terlalu banyak dihina. Sudah cukup kami diolok-olok orang kaya, dan dicemooh orang-orang yang sombong.

    Bacaan Kedua (2 Korintus 12: 7–10)
    Pembacaan dari surat Paulus yang kedua kepada jemaat di Korintus.
    Tetapi supaya saya jangan terlalu sombong karena penglihatan-penglihatan yang luar biasa itu, saya diberikan semacam penyakit pada tubuh saya yang merupakan alat Iblis. Penyakit itu diberikan untuk memukul saya supaya saya tidak menjadi sombong. Tiga kali saya berdoa kepada Tuhan supaya penyakit itu diangkat dari saya. Tetapi Tuhan menjawab, "Aku mengasihi engkau dan itu sudah cukup untukmu; sebab kuasa-Ku justru paling kuat kalau kau dalam keadaan lemah." Itu sebabnya saya lebih senang membanggakan kelemahan-kelemahan saya, sebab apabila saya lemah, maka justru pada waktu itulah saya merasakan Kristus melindungi saya dengan kekuatan-Nya. Jadi saya gembira dengan kelemahan-kelemahan saya. Saya juga gembira kalau oleh karena Kristus saya difitnah, saya mengalami kesulitan, dikejar-kejar dan saya mengalami kesukaran. Sebab kalau saya lemah, maka pada waktu itulah justru saya kuat.

    Bacaan Injil (Markus 6: 1–6)
    Pembacaan dari Injil kudus menurut Santo Markus.
    Dari tempat itu, Yesus pulang bersama-sama dengan pengikut-pengikut-Nya ke kampung halaman-Nya. ari tempat itu, Yesus pulang bersama-sama dengan pengikut-pengikut-Nya ke kampung halaman-Nya. Pada hari Sabat Ia mulai mengajar di rumah ibadat. Ada banyak orang di situ. Waktu orang-orang itu mendengar pengajaran Yesus, mereka heran sekali. Mereka berkata, "Dari mana orang ini mendapat semuanya itu? Kebijaksanaan macam apakah ini yang ada pada-Nya? Bagaimanakah Ia dapat mengadakan keajaiban? Bukankah Ia ini tukang kayu, anak Maria, dan saudara dari Yakobus, Yoses, Yudas dan Simon? Ya, saudara-saudara perempuan-Nya pun ada tinggal di sini juga." Karena itu mereka menolak Dia. Lalu Yesus berkata kepada mereka, "Seorang nabi dihormati di mana-mana, kecuali di kampung halamannya, dan di antara sanak saudaranya dan keluarganya." Di tempat itu Yesus tidak dapat membuat sesuatu keajaiban pun, kecuali menyembuhkan beberapa orang sakit dengan meletakkan tangan-Nya ke atas mereka. Ia heran mereka tidak percaya. Kemudian Yesus pergi ke kampung-kampung di sekitar itu, dan mengajar.

  6. Unang pagbabasa (Ezekiel 2: 2–5)
    Ang pagbabasa ng aklat ng Ezekiel.
    Kasabay noon, nilukuban ako ng kanyang Espiritu at itinayo ako upang pakinggan ang kanyang sasabihin. Ang sabi niya, “Ezekiel, anak ng tao, susuguin kita sa Israel, sa bansang suwail. Pagkat mula sa kanilang ninuno, naghihimagsik na sila sa akin hanggang ngayon. Matigas ang kanilang ulo at walang pitagan. Kaya puntahan mo sila at sabihin mong ito ang ipinapasabi ng Panginoong Yahweh. Makinig man sila o hindi, malalaman nilang may isang propeta sa kanilang kalagitnaan.”

    Pangalawang pagbabasa (2 Corinto 12: 7–10)
    Ang pagbabasa ng ikalawang sulat ni Pablo sa mga taga-Corinto.
    Ngunit upang hindi ko ipagyabang ang kamangha-manghang pahayag ng Diyos sa akin, ako'y binigyan ng isang kapansanan sa katawan na nagsisilbing sugo ni Satanas upang pahirapan ako, at nang sa gayo'y hindi ako maging palalo. Tatlong beses kong idinalangin sa Panginoon na alisin ito, ngunit ganito ang kanyang sagot, “Ang pagpapala ko ay sapat sa lahat ng pangangailangan mo; lalong nahahayag ang aking kapangyarihan kung ikaw ay mahina.” Kaya't buong galak kong ipagmamalaki ang aking mga kahinaan upang lalo kong madama ang kapangyarihan ni Cristo. Dahil kay Cristo, walang halaga sa akin kung ako ma'y mahina, kutyain, pahirapan, usigin at magtiis. Sapagkat kung kailan ako lalong mahina, saka naman ako nagiging malakas.

    Ebanghelyo (Marcos 6: 1–6)
    Ang magandang balita ayon kay San Marcos.
    Umalis doon si Jesus at umuwi siya sa sariling bayan kasama ang kanyang mga alagad. Pagdating ng Araw ng Pamamahinga, si Jesus ay nagturo sa sinagoga. Maraming tao ang nakarinig sa kanya at sa kanilang pagkamangha'y nagtatanungan sila, “Saan niya natutunan ang lahat ng iyan? Anong karunungan itong ipinagkaloob sa kanya? Paano siya nakakagawa ng mga himala? Hindi ba ito ang karpinterong anak ni Maria, at kapatid nina Santiago, Jose, Judas, at Simon? Tagarito rin ang kanyang mga kapatid na babae, hindi ba?” Kaya't sila'y nagduda sa kanya at siya'y hinamak nila. Dahil dito, sinabi ni Jesus sa kanila, “Ang isang propeta'y iginagalang ng lahat, maliban ng kanyang mga kababayan, mga kamag-anak, at mga kasambahay.” Hindi siya nakagawa ng himala roon, maliban sa ilang maysakit na pinatungan niya ng kanyang kamay at pinagaling. Nagtaka siya dahil hindi sila naniwala sa kanya. Nilibot ni Jesus ang mga nayon sa paligid at tinuruan niya ang mga tagaroon.
