Gospel: Mark 3:13-19
13 He went up into the mountain, and called to himself those whom he wanted, and they went to him.
14 He appointed twelve, that they might be with him, and that he might send them out to preach,
15 and to have authority to heal sicknesses and to cast out demons:
16 Simon, to whom he gave the name Peter;
17 James the son of Zebedee; John, the brother of James, and he called them Boanerges, which means, Sons of Thunder;
18 Andrew; Philip; Bartholomew; Matthew; Thomas; James, the son of Alphaeus; Thaddaeus; Simon the Zealot;
19 and Judas Iscariot, who also betrayed him.

Hebrews 8:6-13
6 But now he has obtained a more excellent ministry, by so much as he is also the mediator of a better covenant, which on better promises has been given as law.
7 For if that first covenant had been faultless, then no place would have been sought for a second.
8 For finding fault with them, he said,
"Behold,* the days come", says the Lord,
"that I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah;
9 not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers,
in the day that I took them by the hand to lead them out of the land of Egypt;
for they didn't continue in my covenant,
and I disregarded them," says the Lord.
10 "For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel.
After those days," says the Lord;
"I will put my laws into their mind,
I will also write them on their heart.
I will be their God,
and they will be my people.
11 They will not teach every man his fellow citizen,†
and every man his brother, saying, 'Know the Lord,'
for all will know me,
from their least to their greatest.
12 For I will be merciful to their unrighteousness.
I will remember their sins and lawless deeds no more."☆
13 In that he says, "A new covenant", he has made the first old. But that which is becoming old and grows aged is near to vanishing away.
*8:8: "Behold", from "?δο?", means look at, take notice, observe, see, or gaze at. It is often used as an interjection.
†8:11: TR reads "neighbour" instead of "fellow citizen"
☆ 8:12: Jeremiah 31:31-34
