## Readings of the day

- Epistle

  Hebrews 3:12–16

  **Show the text**

  12 Beware, brothers, lest perhaps there might be in any one of you an evil heart of unbelief, in falling away from the living God;

  13 but exhort one another day by day, so long as it is called “today”, lest any one of you be hardened by the deceitfulness of sin.

  14 For we have become partakers of Christ, if we hold the beginning of our confidence firm to the end,

  15 while it is said, “Today if you will hear his voice, don’t harden your hearts, as in the rebellion.”

  16 For who, when they heard, rebelled? Wasn’t it all those who came out of Egypt led by Moses?

- Gospel

  Mark 1:35–44

  **Show the text**

  35 Early in the morning, while it was still dark, he rose up and went out, and departed into a deserted place, and prayed there.

  36 Simon and those who were with him searched for him.

  37 They found him and told him, “Everyone is looking for you.”

  38 He said to them, “Let’s go elsewhere into the next towns, that I may preach there also, because I came out for this reason.”

  39 He went into their synagogues throughout all Galilee, preaching and casting out demons.

  40 A leper came to him, begging him, kneeling down to him, and saying to him, “If you want to, you can make me clean.”

  41 Being moved with compassion, he stretched out his hand, and touched him, and said to him, “I want to. Be made clean.”

  42 When he had said this, immediately the leprosy departed from him, and he was made clean.

  43 He strictly warned him, and immediately sent him out,

  44 and said to him, “See you say nothing to anybody, but go show yourself to the priest, and offer for your cleansing the things which Moses commanded, for a testimony to them.”
