Scripture of the Day
Personal Reading
The Gospel according to Luke, chapter twenty-two, verses nineteen & twenty;
The Letter to the Hebrews, chapter eight;
The Book of Jeremiah, chapter thirty-one, verses thirty-one thru thirty-four.

Commentary: Jeremiah, 31:31-34 is quoted in Hebrews, 8:8-12, but I wanted to compare the texts &, at least as translated in my New American Bible, there are a couple subtle differences. The footnotes say that the author of Hebrews quoted the Septuagint, the Hebrew Bible translated into Koine Greek; if the N.A.B. Jeremiah is a direct translation from the original Hebrew, that would more than explain any slight differences.

Mass Readings
The Book of Isaiah, chapter fifty-eight, verses one thru nine(A);
Psalm Fifty-one, verses three thru six(A,B), eighteen & nineteen;
The Gospel according to Matthew, chapter nine, verses fourteen & fifteen.
