The scriptures read are Leviticus 22-24 and Mark 11.
Leviticus 22. More on how physically pure priests must be. Cleanliness is next to godliness, according to this. Also the sacrificial animals must be flawless.
Leviticus 23. The Sabbath and the 3 major feasts: Passover, the Day of Atonement, and the Feast of the Booths. Also this tidbit: when you harvest your fields, don't mow things all the way to the edges. Leave some for the poor and immigrants. If you don't read carefully, you miss these things.
Leviticus 24. Oil for lamps, the showbread and blasphemy. Also strict and equivalent justice for murdering another human being.
Psalm 37:19-42. I messed up and did the whole psalm last time. If you did as well, take a psalm break today.
Mark 11. Jesus enters Jerusalem in a big way but peacefully. What he does to the merchants in the temple is not so peaceful. He overturns their tables and when challenged by the authorities, he turns the tables on them.
