2 Timothy 3:10-17

10You have followed my teaching, way of life, purpose, faith, patience, love, endurance, 11persecutions, and sufferings, such as happened to me in Antioch, Iconium, and Lystra, persecutions that I endured. Yet from all these things the Lord delivered me. 12In fact, all who want to live religiously in Christ Jesus will be persecuted. 13But wicked people and charlatans will go from bad to worse, deceivers and deceived. 14But you, remain faithful to what you have learned and believed, because you know from whom you learned it, 15and that from infancy you have known [the] sacred scriptures, which are capable of giving you wisdom for salvation through faith in Christ Jesus. 16All scripture is inspired by God and is useful for teaching, for refutation, for correction, and for training in righteousness, 17so that one who belongs to God may be competent, equipped for every good work.
Responsorial Psalm

Psalm 119:157, 160, 161, 165, 166, 168

157Though my persecutors and foes are many, I do not turn from your testimonies. 160Your every word is enduring; all your righteous judgments are forever. 161Shin - Princes persecute me without reason, but my heart reveres only your word. 165Lovers of your law have much peace; for them there is no stumbling block. 166I look for your salvation, LORD, and I fulfill your commandments. 168I observe your precepts and testimonies; all my ways are before you.

Gospel

Mark 12:35-37

35As Jesus was teaching in the temple area he said, “How do the scribes claim that the Messiah is the son of David? 36David himself, inspired by the holy Spirit, said: ‘The Lord said to my lord, “Sit at my right hand until I place your enemies under your feet.”’ 37David himself calls him ‘lord’; so how is he his son?” [The] great crowd heard this with delight. Denunciation of the Scribes.
