A READING FROM THE GOSPEL OF JESUS ACCORDING TO MARK(FIRST READER ONLY)

AS JESUS WAS SETTING OUT ON A JOURNEY/

A MAN RAN UP AND KNELT BEFORE HIM/

"GOOD TEACHER", HE SAID, "WHAT MUST I DO TO INHERIT ETERNAL LIFE?"

JESUS REPLIED, "YOU KNOW THE COMMANDMENTS."/

THE MAN REPLIED, "TEACHER, I HAVE KEPT THE COMMANDMENTS SINCE MY YOUTH."

JESUS, LOOKING AT HIM, LOVED HIM/

HE SAID, " YOU LACK ONE THING; SELL WHAT YOU OWN, AND GIVE THE MONEY TO THE POOR/

THEN COME AND FOLLLOW ME/

AND YOU WILL HAVE TREASURE IN HEAVEN."
