First Reading

Hebrews 2:14-18

14Since therefore the children share in flesh and blood, he himself likewise partook of the same nature, that through death he might destroy him who has the power of death, that is, the devil,

15and deliver all those who through fear of death were subject to lifelong bondage.

16For surely it is not with angels that he is concerned but with the descendants of Abraham.

17Therefore he had to be made like his brethren in every respect, so that he might become a merciful and faithful high priest in the service of God, to make expiation for the sins of the people.

18For because he himself has suffered and been tempted, he is able to help those who are tempted.

Responsorial Psalm

Psalms 105:1-4, 6-9

1O give thanks to the LORD, call on his name, make known his deeds among the peoples!

2Sing to him, sing praises to him, tell of all his wonderful works!

3Glory in his holy name; let the hearts of those who seek the LORD rejoice!

4Seek the LORD and his strength, seek his presence continually!

6O offspring of Abraham his servant, sons of Jacob, his chosen ones!

7He is the LORD our God; his judgments are in all the earth.

8He is mindful of his covenant for ever, of the word that he commanded, for a thousand generations,

9the covenant which he made with Abraham, his sworn promise to Isaac,

Gospel

Mark 1:29-39

29And immediately he left the synagogue, and entered the house of Simon and Andrew, with James and John.

30Now Simon’s mother-in-law lay sick with a fever, and immediately they told him of her.

31And he came and took her by the hand and lifted her up, and the fever left her; and she served them.

32That evening, at sundown, they brought to him all who were sick or possessed with demons.

33And the whole city was gathered together about the door.

34And he healed many who were sick with various diseases, and cast out many demons; and he would not permit the demons to speak, because they knew him.

35And in the morning, a great while before day, he rose and went out to a lonely place, and there he prayed.

36And Simon and those who were with him followed him,

37and they found him and said to him, “Every one is searching for you.”

38And he said to them, “Let us go on to the next towns, that I may preach there also; for that is why I came out.”

39And he went throughout all Galilee, preaching in their synagogues and casting out demons.
