The Letter to the Hebrews   1: 1-6

1:1 In many places and in many ways, in past times, God spoke to the fathers through the Prophets;
1:2 lastly, in these days, he has spoken to us through the Son, whom he appointed as the heir of all things, and through whom he made the world.
1:3 And since the Son is the brightness of his glory, and the figure of his substance, and is carrying all things by the Word of his virtue, thereby accomplishing a purging of sins, he sits at the right hand of Majesty on high.
1:4 And having been made so much better than the Angels, he has inherited a name so much greater than theirs.
1:5 For to which of the Angels has he ever said: “You are my Son; today have I begotten you?” Or again: “I will be a Father to him, and he shall be a Son to me?”
1:6 And again, when he brings the only-begotten Son into the world, he says: “And let all the Angels of God adore him.”

Gospel

The Holy Gospel According to Mark   1: 14-20

1:14 Then, after John was handed over, Jesus went into Galilee, preaching the Gospel of the kingdom of God,
1:15 and saying: “For the time has been fulfilled and the kingdom of God has drawn near. Repent and believe in the Gospel.”
1:16 And passing by the shore of the Sea of Galilee, he saw Simon and his brother Andrew, casting nets into the sea, for they were fishermen.
1:17 And Jesus said to them, “Come after me, and I will make you fishers of men.”
1:18 And at once abandoning their nets, they followed him.
1:19 And continuing on a little ways from there, he saw James of Zebedee and his brother John, and they were mending their nets in a boat.
1:20 And immediately he called them. And leaving behind their father Zebedee in the boat with his hired hands, they followed him.
