Old Testament Reading

Deuteronomy 4:1-9
“And now, O Israel, listen to the statutes and the rules that I am teach-
ing you, and do them, that you may live, and go in and take possession
of the land that the LORD, the God of your fathers, is giving you.
2
You shall not add to the word that I command you, nor take from it,
that you may keep the commandments of the LORD your God that I
command you. 3 Your eyes have seen what the LORD did at Baal-peor,
for the LORD your God destroyed from among you all the men who
followed the Baal of Peor. 4 But you who held fast to the LORD your
God are all alive today. 5 See, I have taught you statutes and rules, as the
LORD my God commanded me, that you should do them in the land
that you are entering to take possession of it. 6 Keep them and do them,
for that will be your wisdom and your understanding in the sight of
the peoples, who, when they hear all these statutes, will say, ‘Surely this
great nation is a wise and understanding people.’ 7 For what great nation
is there that has a god so near to it as the LORD our God is to us,
whenever we call upon him? 8 And what great nation is there, that has
statutes and rules so righteous as all this law that I set before you today?
9
“Only take care, and keep your soul diligently, lest you forget the
things that your eyes have seen, and lest they depart from your heart
1
all the days of your life. Make them known to your children and your
children's children—
Reader: The word of the Lord.
People: Thanks be to God.
Psalter Verses
(In said services, the psalm verses may be placed between the Epistle and the
Gospel, with the congregation standing in preparation for the Gospel. At
services where there is a hymn or canticle before the Gospel, the psalm might
be said between the Old Testament and Epistle, the people seated.)
Psalm 15
1
LORD, who shall dwell in your tabernacle? *
Or who shall rest upon your holy hill?
2
Whoever leads an uncorrupt life, *
and does that which is right, and speaks the truth from his heart.
3
He has not spoken deceitfully with his tongue, nor done evil to his
neighbor, *
and has not slandered his neighbor.
4
In his eyes the wicked is rejected, *
and he makes much of those who fear the LORD.
5
He swears to his neighbor and disappoints him not, *
though it were to his own hindrance.
6
He has not given his money for usury, *
nor taken a bribe against the innocent.
7
Whoever does these things *
shall never be overthrown.
New Testament Reading

Ephesians 6:10-20
Finally, be strong in the Lord and in the strength of his might. 11 Put
on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the
schemes of the devil. 12 For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood,
but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers
over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heav-
enly places. 13 Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may
2
be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand firm.
14
Stand therefore, having fastened on the belt of truth, and having put
on the breastplate of righteousness, 15 and, as shoes for your feet, having
put on the readiness given by the gospel of peace. 16 In all circumstances
take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flam-
ing darts of the evil one; 17 and take the helmet of salvation, and the
sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God, 18 praying at all times
in the Spirit, with all prayer and supplication. To that end, keep alert
with all perseverance, making supplication for all the saints, 19 and also
for me, that words may be given to me in opening my mouth boldly to
proclaim the mystery of the gospel, 20 for which I am an ambassador in
chains, that I may declare it boldly, as I ought to speak.
Reader: The word of the Lord.
People: Thanks be to God.
The Holy Gospel
Deacon: The Holy Gospel of Our Lord Jesus Christ, according to
St. Mark.
People: Glory to you, Lord Christ.
Mark 7:1-23
Now when the Pharisees gathered to him, with some of the scribes who
had come from Jerusalem, 2 they saw that some of his disciples ate with
hands that were defiled, that is, unwashed. 3 (For the Pharisees and all
the Jews do not eat unless they wash their hands properly, holding to
the tradition of the elders, 4 and when they come from the marketplace,
they do not eat unless they wash. And there are many other traditions
that they observe, such as the washing of cups and pots and copper
vessels and dining couches.) 5 And the Pharisees and the scribes asked
him, “Why do your disciples not walk according to the tradition of the
elders, but eat with defiled hands?” 6 And he said to them, “Well did
Isaiah prophesy of you hypocrites, as it is written,
“‘This people honors me with their lips, but their heart is far from me;
7
in vain do they worship me, teaching as doctrines the commandments
of men.’ 8 You leave the commandment of God and hold to the tradition
of men.”
9
And he said to them, “You have a fine way of rejecting the command-
3
ment of God in order to establish your tradition! 10 For Moses said,
‘Honor your father and your mother’; and, ‘Whoever reviles father or
mother must surely die.’ 11 But you say, ‘If a man tells his father or his
mother, “Whatever you would have gained from me is Corban”’ (that
is, given to God)— 12 then you no longer permit him to do anything
for his father or mother, 13 thus making void the word of God by your
tradition that you have handed down. And many such things you do.”
14
And he called the people to him again and said to them, “Hear me,
all of you, and understand: 15 There is nothing outside a person that by
going into him can defile him, but the things that come out of a person
are what defile him.” 17 And when he had entered the house and left
the people, his disciples asked him about the parable. 18 And he said to
them, “Then are you also without understanding? Do you not see that
whatever goes into a person from outside cannot defile him, 19 since it
enters not his heart but his stomach, and is expelled?” (Thus he de-
clared all foods clean.) 20 And he said, “What comes out of a person is
what defiles him. 21 For from within, out of the heart of man, come evil
thoughts, sexual immorality, theft, murder, adultery, 22 coveting, wick-
edness, deceit, sensuality, envy, slander, pride, foolishness. 23 All these
evil things come from within, and they defile a person.”
Deacon: The Gospel of the Lord.
People: Praise to you, Lord Christ.
