O God, forasmuch as without you
we are not able to please you;

with you, in the unity of the Holy
Spirit, one God, now and forever..
Amen
OLD TESTAMENT READING
Job 23:1-9, 16-17
A reading from the book of Job.
1 Then Job answered:
2 "Today also my complaint is bitter;
his hand is heavy despite my groaning.
3 Oh, that I knew where I might find
him, that I might come even to his
dwelling!
4 I would lay my case before him, and
fill my mouth with arguments.
5 I would learn what he would answer
me, and understand what he would say
to me.
6 Would he contend with me in the
greatness of his power? No; but he
would
give
heed
to
me.
7 There an upright person could reason
with him, and I should be acquitted
1
forever by my judge.
8 "If I go forward, he is not there; or
backward, I cannot perceive him;
9 on the left he hides, and I cannot
behold him; I turn to the right, but I
cannot see him.
16 God has made my heart faint; the
Almighty
has
terrified
me;
17 If only I could vanish in darkness,
and thick darkness would cover my
face!
This is the word of the Lord
Thanks be to God
Psalm 22:1-15
R My God, my God, why have you
forsaken me?
My God, my God, why have you
forsaken me? Why are you so far
from helping me, from the words of
my groaning? O my God, I cry by
day, but you do not answer; and by
night, but find no rest. R
Yet you are holy, enthroned on the
praises of Israel. In you our
ancestors trusted; they trusted, and
you delivered them. To you they
cried, and were saved; in you they
trusted, and were not put to shame.
R
But I am a worm, and not human;
scorned by others, and despised by
the people. All who see me mock at
me; they make mouths at me, they
shake their heads; R
"Commit your cause to the LORD; let
him deliver-- let him rescue the one
in whom he delights!" Yet it was
you who took me from the womb;
you kept me safe on my mother's
breast. R
On you I was cast from my birth, and
since my mother bore me you have
been my God. Do not be far from
me, for trouble is near and there is
no one to help. R
Many bulls encircle me, strong bulls
of Bashan surround me; they open
wide their mouths at me, like a
ravening and roaring lion. R
I am poured out like water, and all
my bones are out of joint; my heart
is like wax; it is melted within my
breast; my mouth is dried up like a
potsherd, and my tongue sticks to
my jaws; you lay me in the dust of
death. R
NEW TESTAMENT READING
Hebrews 4:12-16
A reading from the letter to the
Hebrews.
12 Indeed, the word of God is living
and active, sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing until it divides
soul from spirit, joints from marrow;
it is able to judge the thoughts and
intentions
of
the
heart.
13 And before him no creature is
hidden, but all are naked and laid
bare to the eyes of the one to whom
we must render an account.
14 Since, then, we have a great high
priest who has passed through the
2
heavens, Jesus, the Son of God, let us
hold fast to our confession.
15 For we do not have a high priest
who is unable to sympathize with our
weaknesses, but we have one who in
every respect has been tested as we
are, yet without sin.
16 Let us therefore approach the
throne of grace with boldness, so
that we may receive mercy and find
grace to help in time of need.
This is the word of the Lord
Thanks be to God
Gradual Hymn: 19
Gospel Reading
Mark 10:17-31
Alleluia, alleluia.
I am the light of the world, says
the Lord. Whoever follows me will
never walk in darkness but will
have the light of life.
Alleluia.
The Lord be with you
And also with you
Hear the gospel of our Lord Jesus
Christ according to Mark.
Glory to you O Lord
17 As he was setting out on a journey,
a man ran up and knelt before him,
and asked him, "Good Teacher, what
must I do to inherit eternal life?"
18 Jesus said to him, "Why do you call
me good? No one is good but God
alone.
19 You know the commandments: 'You
shall not murder; You shall not commit
adultery; You shall not steal; You shall
not bear false witness; You shall not
defraud; Honour your father and
mother.'"
20 He said to him, "Teacher, I have
kept all these since my youth."
21 Jesus, looking at him, loved him and
said, "You lack one thing; go, sell what
you own, and give the money to the
poor, and you will have treasure in
heaven; then come, follow me."
22 When he heard this, he was
shocked and went away grieving, for
he had many possessions.
23 Then Jesus looked around and said
to his disciples, "How hard it will be for
those who have wealth to enter the
kingdom of God!"
24 And the disciples were perplexed at
these words. But Jesus said to them
again, "Children, how hard it is to enter
the
kingdom
of
God!
25 It is easier for a camel to go through
the eye of a needle than for someone
who is rich to enter the kingdom of
God."
26 They were greatly astounded and
said to one another, "Then who can be
saved?"
27 Jesus looked at them and said, "For
mortals it is impossible, but not for
God; for God all things are possible."
28 Peter began to say to him, "Look,
we have left everything and followed
you."
29 Jesus said, "Truly I tell you, there is
no one who has left house or brothers
or sisters or mother or father or
3
children or fields, for my sake and for
the sake of the good news,
30 who will not receive a hundredfold
now in this age--houses, brothers and
sisters, mothers and children, and
fields with persecutions--and in the age
to come eternal life.
31 But many who are first will be last,
and the last will be first."
