Sunday between 23 and 29 October    

Thirtieth Sunday in Ordinary Time (Year B)

First Reading - Jeremiah 31.7-9

A reading from the book of the prophet Jeremiah. Sing aloud, with joy, for the nation; even as you pray, ‘Save us, O Lord, the last of your people.’ For the Lord says this: ‘I will gather them in, from the lands of the north, and from far away, a great multitude; amongst them the blind, and the lame, expectant mothers, and those in labour. All together, a great assembly, they will return here. Weeping, and praying, they will be gathered in. And I will lead them by streams of water, on a level path, where they will stumble no more. For I am the father of all my people, and I care for the young and the weak like I care for my first-born. This is the word of the Lord.

Second Reading - Hebrews 7.23-28

A reading from the letter to the Hebrews. The former high priests were many in number, because they were prevented by death from continuing in office. But Jesus lives for ever, and his priesthood does not come to an end. He is able to intercede, for all time, on behalf of those who approach God through him. He is holy, righteous, undefiled; set apart now from sinners, exalted above the heavens.
The former high priests offered sacrifices day after day, for their own sins and for the sins of the people; but Jesus offered himself, once for all. The old law appointed high priests who were subject to human weakness; but the new law appoints a Son, who is made perfect for ever. This is the word of the Lord.

Gospel - Mark 10.46b-52

Hear the Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ according to Mark. Jesus and his disciples were leaving Jericho, and crowds of people were following them. Bartimaeus, a blind beggar, was sitting by the roadside. When he heard that Jesus of Nazareth was passing by, he began to shout out: ‘Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me!’ Many told him to stop, but he cried out all the more: ‘Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me!’ Jesus stopped, and said, ‘Call him.’ So they said to the blind man, ‘Get up, come forward, he is calling you.’ Leaving his cloak, he stood up, and came forward to Jesus. Jesus said, ‘What do you want me to do for you?’ The blind man said, ‘Teacher, let me see again.’ Jesus said, ‘Go on your way. Your faith has made you well.’ And immediately, he regained his sight. And he joined the crowds following Jesus along the road. This is the Gospel of the Lord.
