Gospel: Mark 3:31-35

31 His mother and his brothers came, and standing outside, they sent to him, calling him.

32 A multitude was sitting around him, and they told him, "Behold, your mother, your brothers, and your sisters† are outside looking for you."

33 He answered them, "Who are my mother and my brothers?"

34 Looking around at those who sat around him, he said, "Behold, my mother and my brothers!

35 For whoever does the will of God, the same is my brother, and my sister, and mother."


†3:32: TR omits "your sisters"

2 Samuel 6:12b-15, 17-19

12b So David went and brought up God's ark from the house of Obed-Edom into David's city with joy.

13 When those who bore the LORD's ark had gone six paces, he sacrificed an ox and a fattened calf.

14 David danced before the LORD with all his might; and David was clothed in a linen ephod.

15 So David and all the house of Israel brought up the LORD's ark with shouting, and with the sound of the trumpet.

16 As the LORD's ark came into David's city, Michal the daughter of Saul looked out through the window, and saw king David leaping and dancing before the LORD; and she despised him in her heart.

17 They brought in the LORD's ark, and set it in its place, in the middle of the tent that David had pitched for it; and David offered burnt offerings and peace offerings before the LORD.

18 When David had finished offering the burnt offering and the peace offerings, he blessed the people in the name of the LORD of Armies.

19 He gave to all the people, even amongst the whole multitude of Israel, both to men and women, to everyone a portion of bread, dates, and raisins. So all the people departed, each to his own house.
