First Reading

2 Samuel 5:1-7, 10

1Then all the tribes of Israel came to David at Hebron, and said, “Behold, we are your bone and flesh.

2In times past, when Saul was king over us, it was you that led out and brought in Israel; and the LORD said to you, ‘You shall be shepherd of my people Israel, and you shall be prince over Israel.’ ”

3So all the elders of Israel came to the king at Hebron; and King David made a covenant with them at Hebron before the LORD, and they anointed David king over Israel.

4David was thirty years old when he began to reign, and he reigned forty years.

5At Hebron he reigned over Judah seven years and six months; and at Jerusalem he reigned over all Israel and Judah thirty-three years.

6And the king and his men went to Jerusalem against the Jebʹusites, the inhabitants of the land, who said to David, “You will not come in here, but the blind and the lame will ward you off”—thinking, “David cannot come in here.”

7Nevertheless David took the stronghold of Zion, that is, the city of David.

10And David became greater and greater, for the LORD, the God of hosts, was with him.

Responsorial Psalm

Psalms 89:20-22, 25-26

19Of old thou didst speak in a vision to thy faithful one, and say: “I have set the crown upon one who is mighty, I have exalted one chosen from the people.

20I have found David, my servant; with my holy oil I have anointed him;

21so that my hand shall ever abide with him, my arm also shall strengthen him.

24My faithfulness and my steadfast love shall be with him, and in my name shall his horn be exalted.

25I will set his hand on the sea and his right hand on the rivers.

Gospel

Mark 3:22-30

22And the scribes who came down from Jerusalem said, “He is possessed by Be-elʹzebul, and by the prince of demons he casts out the demons.”

23And he called them to him, and said to them in parables, “How can Satan cast out Satan?

24If a kingdom is divided against itself, that kingdom cannot stand.

25And if a house is divided against itself, that house will not be able to stand.

26And if Satan has risen up against himself and is divided, he cannot stand, but is coming to an end.

27But no one can enter a strong man’s house and plunder his goods, unless he first binds the strong man; then indeed he may plunder his house.

28“Truly, I say to you, all sins will be forgiven the sons of men, and whatever blasphemies they utter;

29but whoever blasphemes against the Holy Spirit never has forgiveness, but is guilty of an eternal sin”—

30for they had said, “He has an unclean spirit.”
