Gospel: Mark 12:35-37
35 Jesus responded, as he taught in the temple, "How is it that the scribes say that the Christ is the son of David?
36 For David himself said in the Holy Spirit,
'The Lord said to my Lord,
"Sit at my right hand,
until I make your enemies the footstool of your feet."'☆
37 Therefore David himself calls him Lord, so how can he be his son?"
The common people heard him gladly.
☆12:36: Psalm 110:1

Tobit 11:5-17
5 And Anna sat looking about towards the way for her son.
6 And she espied him coming, and said to his father, Behold, your son comes, and the man that went with him.
7 And Raphael said, I know, Tobias, that your father will open his eyes.
8 Do you therefore anoint his eyes with the gall, and being pricked therewith, he shall rub, and shall make the white films to fall away, and he shall see you.
9 And Anna ran to him, and fell upon the neck of her son, and said to him, I have seen you, my child; from henceforth I will die. And they wept both.
10 And Tobit went forth towards the door, and stumbled: but his son ran to him,
11 and took hold of his father: and he struck the gall on his father's eyes, saying, Be of good cheer, my father.
12 But when his eyes began to hurt, he rubbed them;
13 and the white films scaled away from the corners of his eyes; and he saw his son, and fell upon his neck.
14 And he wept, and said, Blessed are you, O God, and blessed is your name for ever, and blessed are all your holy angels;
15 for you did scourge, and did have mercy on me: behold, I see my son Tobias. And his son went in rejoicing, and told his father the great things that had happened to him in Media.
16 And Tobit went out to meet his daughter in law at the gate of Nineveh, rejoicing, and blessing God: and they which saw him go marvelled, because he had received his sight.
17 And Tobit gave thanks before them, because God had showed mercy on him. And when Tobit came near to Sarah his daughter in law, he blessed her, saying, Welcome, daughter: blessed is God which has brought you to us, and blessed are your father and your mother. And there was joy to all his brethren which were at Nineveh.
