Weekday
Ninth Week in Ordinary Time
First Reading
2 Peter 1:2-7
2May grace and peace be multiplied to you in the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord.
3His divine power has granted to us all things that pertain to life and godliness, through the knowledge of him who called us to his own glory and excellence,
4by which he has granted to us his precious and very great promises, that through these you may escape from the corruption that is in the world because of passion, and become partakers of the divine nature.
5For this very reason make every effort to supplement your faith with virtue, and virtue with knowledge,
6and knowledge with self-control, and self-control with steadfastness, and steadfastness with godliness,
7and godliness with brotherly affection, and brotherly affection with love.
Responsorial Psalm
Psalms 91:1-2, 14-16
1He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High, who abides in the shadow of the Almighty,
2will say to the LORD, “My refuge and my fortress; my God, in whom I trust.”
14Because he cleaves to me in love, I will deliver him; I will protect him, because he knows my name.
15When he calls to me, I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble, I will rescue him and honor him.
16With long life I will satisfy him, and show him my salvation.
Gospel
Mark 12:1-12
1And he began to speak to them in parables. “A man planted a vineyard, and set a hedge around it, and dug a pit for the wine press, and built a tower, and let it out to tenants, and went into another country.
2When the time came, he sent a servant to the tenants, to get from them some of the fruit of the vineyard.
3And they took him and beat him, and sent him away empty-handed.
4Again he sent to them another servant, and they wounded him in the head, and treated him shamefully.
5And he sent another, and him they killed; and so with many others, some they beat and some they killed.
6He had still one other, a beloved son; finally he sent him to them, saying, ‘They will respect my son.’
7But those tenants said to one another, ‘This is the heir; come, let us kill him, and the inheritance will be ours.’
8And they took him and killed him, and cast him out of the vineyard.
9What will the owner of the vineyard do? He will come and destroy the tenants, and give the vineyard to others.
10Have you not read this scripture: ‘The very stone which the builders rejected has become the head of the corner;
11this was the Lord’s doing, and it is marvelous in our eyes’?”
12And they tried to arrest him, but feared the multitude, for they perceived that he had told the parable against them; so they left him and went away.
