Isaiah 42:1-7

1Here is my servant whom I uphold, my chosen one with whom I am pleased. Upon him I have put my spirit; he shall bring forth justice to the nations. 2He will not cry out, nor shout, nor make his voice heard in the street. 3A bruised reed he will not break, and a dimly burning wick he will not quench. He will faithfully bring forth justice. 4He will not grow dim or be bruised until he establishes justice on the earth; the coastlands will wait for his teaching. 5Thus says God, the LORD, who created the heavens and stretched them out, who spread out the earth and its produce, Who gives breath to its people and spirit to those who walk on it: 6I, the LORD, have called you for justice, I have grasped you by the hand; I formed you, and set you as a covenant for the people, a light for the nations, 7To open the eyes of the blind, to bring out prisoners from confinement, and from the dungeon, those who live in darkness.
Responsorial Psalm

Psalm 27:1, 2, 3, 13-14

1Psalm 27 Trust in God - Of David. A - IThe LORD is my light and my salvation; whom should I fear? The LORD is my life’s refuge; of whom should I be afraid? 2When evildoers come at me to devour my flesh, These my enemies and foes themselves stumble and fall. 3Though an army encamp against me, my heart does not fear; Though war be waged against me, even then do I trust. 13I believe I shall see the LORD’s goodness in the land of the living. 14Wait for the LORD, take courage; be stouthearted, wait for the LORD!

Gospel

John 12:1-11

1Six days before Passover Jesus came to Bethany, where Lazarus was, whom Jesus had raised from the dead. 2They gave a dinner for him there, and Martha served, while Lazarus was one of those reclining at table with him. 3Mary took a liter of costly perfumed oil made from genuine aromatic nard and anointed the feet of Jesus and dried them with her hair; the house was filled with the fragrance of the oil. 4Then Judas the Iscariot, one [of] his disciples, and the one who would betray him, said, 5“Why was this oil not sold for three hundred days’ wages and given to the poor?” 6He said this not because he cared about the poor but because he was a thief and held the money bag and used to steal the contributions. 7So Jesus said, “Leave her alone. Let her keep this for the day of my burial. 8You always have the poor with you, but you do not always have me.” 9[The] large crowd of the Jews found out that he was there and came, not only because of Jesus, but also to see Lazarus, whom he had raised from the dead. 10And the chief priests plotted to kill Lazarus too, 11because many of the Jews were turning away and believing in Jesus because of him.
