First Reading

Hebrews 11:1-7

1Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen.

2For by it the men of old received divine approval.

3By faith we understand that the world was created by the word of God, so that what is seen was made out of things which do not appear.

4By faith Abel offered to God a more acceptable sacrifice than Cain, through which he received approval as righteous, God bearing witness by accepting his gifts; he died, but through his faith he is still speaking.

5By faith Enoch was taken up so that he should not see death; and he was not found, because God had taken him. Now before he was taken he was attested as having pleased God.

6And without faith it is impossible to please him. For whoever would draw near to God must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who seek him.

7By faith Noah, being warned by God concerning events as yet unseen, took heed and constructed an ark for the saving of his household; by this he condemned the world and became an heir of the righteousness which comes by faith.

Responsorial Psalm

Psalms 145:2-5, 10-11

2Every day I will bless thee, and praise thy name for ever and ever.

3Great is the LORD, and greatly to be praised, and his greatness is unsearchable.

4One generation shall laud thy works to another, and shall declare thy mighty acts.

5On the glorious splendor of thy majesty, and on thy wondrous works, I will meditate.

10All thy works shall give thanks to thee, O LORD, and all thy saints shall bless thee!

11They shall speak of the glory of thy kingdom, and tell of thy power,

Gospel

Mark 9:2-13

2And after six days Jesus took with him Peter and James and John, and led them up a high mountain apart by themselves; and he was transfigured before them,

3and his garments became glistening, intensely white, as no fuller on earth could bleach them.

4And there appeared to them Eliʹjah with Moses; and they were talking to Jesus.

5And Peter said to Jesus, “Master, it is well that we are here; let us make three booths, one for you and one for Moses and one for Eliʹjah.”

6For he did not know what to say, for they were exceedingly afraid.

7And a cloud overshadowed them, and a voice came out of the cloud, “This is my beloved Son; listen to him.”

8And suddenly looking around they no longer saw any one with them but Jesus only.

9And as they were coming down the mountain, he charged them to tell no one what they had seen, until the Son of man should have risen from the dead.

10So they kept the matter to themselves, questioning what the rising from the dead meant.

11And they asked him, “Why do the scribes say that first Eliʹjah must come?”

12And he said to them, “Eliʹjah does come first to restore all things; and how is it written of the Son of man, that he should suffer many things and be treated with contempt?

13But I tell you that Eliʹjah has come, and they did to him whatever they pleased, as it is written of him.”
