Daily Mass Readings for March 27 2024 – Wednesday of Holy Week

1st Reading – Isaiah 50:4-9A

⁴ The Lord has given me a learned tongue, that I should know how to uphold by word him that is weary. He wakens in the morning: in the morning he wakens my ear, that I may hear him as a master.

⁵ The Lord God has opened my ear, and I do not resist: I have not gone back.

⁶ I have given my body to the strikers, and my cheeks to them that plucked them: I have not turned away my face from them that rebuked me and spit upon me.

⁷ The Lord God is my helper: therefore am I not confounded. Therefore have I set my face as a hardest rock: and I know that I shall not be confounded.

⁸ He is near that justifies me. Who will contend with me? Let us stand together. Who is my adversary? Let him come near to me.

⁹ Behold the Lord God is my helper: who is he that shall condemn me?

Responsorial Psalm – Psalms 69:8-10, 21-22, 31 and 33-34

R. (14c) Lord, in your great love, answer me.

⁸ Because for your sake I have borne reproach;
shame has covered my face.
⁹ I have become a stranger to my brethren,
and an alien to the sons of my mother.
¹⁰ For the zeal of your house has eaten me up:
and the reproaches of them that reproached you are fallen upon me.
R. Lord, in your great love, answer me.

²¹ In your sight are all they that afflict me;
my heart hath expected reproach and misery.
And I looked for one that would grieve together with me,
but there was none: and for one that would comfort me, and I found none.
²² And they gave me gall for my food,
and in my thirst they gave me vinegar to drink.
R. Lord, in your great love, answer me.

³¹ I will praise the name of God with a canticle:
and I will magnify him with praise.
³³ Let the poor see and rejoice:
seek ye God, and your soul shall live.
³⁴ For the Lord hath heard the poor:
and has not despised his prisoners.
R. Lord, in your great love, answer me.

Verse Before The Gospel

Hail to you, our King;
you alone are compassionate with our errors.

Or

Hail to you, our King, obedient to the Father;
you were led to your crucifixion like a gentle lamb to the slaughter.

Gospel – Matthew 26:14-25

¹⁴ Then went one of the twelve, who was called Judas Iscariot, to the chief priests,

¹⁵ And said to them: What will you give me, and I will deliver him unto you? But they gave him thirty pieces of silver.

¹⁶ And from thenceforth he sought opportunity to betray him.

¹⁷ And on the first day of the Feast of Unleavened Bread, the disciples came to Jesus, saying: Where do you want us to prepare for you to eat the Passover?

¹⁸ But Jesus said: Go ye into the city to a certain man, and say to him: the master says, My time is near at hand, with you I make the Passover with my disciples.

¹⁹ And the disciples did as Jesus appointed to them, and they prepared the Passover.

²⁰ But when it was evening, he sat down with his twelve disciples.

²¹ And whilst they were eating, he said: Amen I say to you, that one of you is about to betray me.

²² And they being very much troubled, began every one to say: Is it I, Lord?

²³ But he answering, said: He that dips his hand with me in the dish, he shall betray me.

²⁴ The Son of man indeed goes, as it is written of him: but woe to that man by whom the Son of man shall be betrayed: it were better for him, if that man had not been born.

²⁵ And Judas that betrayed him, answering, said: Is it I, Rabbi? Jesus said to him: You have said it.
