Reading 1
Is 53:10-11
The LORD was pleased
to crush him in  infirmity. 
If he gives his life as  an offering for sin,
  he shall see his  descendants in a long life,
  and the will of the  LORD shall be accomplished through him.
Because of his  affliction
  he shall see the light  in fullness
  of days;
  through his suffering,  my servant shall justify many,
  and their guilt he  shall bear.
   Responsorial Psalm
  Ps 33:4-5, 18-19, 20, 22
 
R. (22)Lord, let your mercy be on us, as we place  our trust in you.
Upright is the word of  the LORD,
and all his works are trustworthy.
He loves justice and  right;
of the kindness of the LORD the earth is full.
R. Lord, let your  mercy be on us, as we place our trust in you.
See, the eyes of the  LORD are upon those who fear him,
upon those who hope for his kindness,
To deliver them from  death
and preserve them in spite of famine.
R. Lord, let your  mercy be on us, as we place our trust in you.
Our soul waits for the  LORD,
who is our help and our shield.
May your kindness, O  LORD, be upon us
who have put our hope in you.
R. Lord,  let your mercy be on us, as we place our trust in you.  
Brothers and sisters:
Since we have a great  high priest who has passed through the heavens,
Jesus, the Son of God,
let us hold fast to our  confession.
For we do not have a  high priest
who is unable to  sympathize with our weaknesses,
but one who has  similarly been tested in every way,
yet without sin.
So let us confidently  approach the throne of grace
to receive mercy and  to find grace for timely help.
      Gospel
    Mk 10:35-45 or 10:42-45
    
    James and John, the  sons of Zebedee, came to Jesus and said to him,
"Teacher, we want  you to do for us whatever we ask of you."
He replied, "What  do you wish me to do for you?"
They answered him,  "Grant that in your glory
we may sit one at your  right and the other at your left."
Jesus said to them,  "You do not know what you are asking.
Can you drink the cup  that I drink
or be baptized with the  baptism with which I am baptized?"
They said to him,  "We can."
Jesus said to them,  "The cup that I drink, you will drink,
and with the baptism  with which I am baptized, you will be baptized;
but to sit at my right  or at my left is not mine to give
but is for those for  whom it has been prepared."
When the ten heard  this, they became indignant at James and John.
Jesus summoned them and  said to them,
"You know that  those who are recognized as rulers over the Gentiles
lord it over them,
and their great ones  make their authority over them felt.
But it shall not be so  among you.
Rather, whoever wishes  to be great among you will be your servant;
whoever wishes to be  first among you will be the slave of all.
For the Son of Man did  not come to be served
but to serve and to  give his life as a ransom for many." 
or
Jesus summoned the  twelve and said to them,
  "You know that  those who are recognized as rulers over the Gentiles
  lord it over them,
  and their great ones  make their authority over them felt.
  But it shall not be so  among you.
  Rather, whoever wishes  to be great among you will be your servant;
  whoever wishes to be  first among you will be the slave of all.
  For the Son of Man did  not come to be served
  but to serve and to  give his life as a ransom for many."
