Jonah 3: 1-5, 10
1The word of the LORD came to Jonah a second time:
2Set out for the great city of Nineveh, and announce to it the message that I will tell you.
3So Jonah set out for Nineveh, in accord with the word of the LORD. Now Nineveh was an awesomely great city; it took three days to walk through it.
4Jonah began his journey through the city, and when he had gone only a single day’s walk announcing, “Forty days more and Nineveh shall be overthrown,”
5the people of Nineveh believed God; they proclaimed a fast and all of them, great and small, put on sackcloth.
10When God saw by their actions how they turned from their evil way, he repented of the evil he had threatened to do to them; he did not carry it out.
Responsorial Psalm

5Guide me by your fidelity and teach me, for you are God my savior, for you I wait all the day long.
6Remember your compassion and your mercy, O LORD, for they are ages old.
7Remember no more the sins of my youth; remember me according to your mercy, because of your goodness, LORD.

9He guides the humble in righteousness, and teaches the humble his way.

Gospel
Mark 1: 14-20
14II. The Mystery of Jesus - The Beginning of the Galilean Ministry. After John had been arrested, Jesus came to Galilee proclaiming the gospel of God:
15“This is the time of fulfillment. The kingdom of God is at hand. Repent, and believe in the gospel.” The Call of the First Disciples.
16As he passed by the Sea of Galilee, he saw Simon and his brother Andrew casting their nets into the sea; they were fishermen.
17Jesus said to them, “Come after me, and I will make you fishers of men.”
18Then they abandoned their nets and followed him.
19He walked along a little farther and saw James, the son of Zebedee, and his brother John. They too were in a boat mending their nets.
20Then he called them. So they left their father Zebedee in the boat along with the hired men and followed him.
