New American Bible readings

First reading (Isaiah 22: 19–23)
A reading from the book of the prophet Isaiah.
Thus says the LORD to Shebna, master of the palace: "I will thrust you from your office and pull you down from your station. On that day I will summon my servant Eliakim, son of Hilkiah; I will clothe him with your robe, and gird him with your sash, and give over to him your authority. He shall be a father to the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and to the house of Judah. I will place the key of the House of David on Eliakim's shoulder; when he opens, no one shall shut when he shuts, no one shall open. I will fix him like a peg in a sure spot, to be a place of honor for his family."

Second reading (Romans 11: 33–36)
A reading from the letter of Saint Paul to the Romans.
Oh, the depth of the riches and wisdom and knowledge of God! How inscrutable are his judgments and how unsearchable his ways! For who has known the mind of the Lord or who has been his counselor? Or who has given the Lord anything that he may be repaid? For from him and through him and for him are all things. To him be glory forever. Amen.

Gospel (Matthew 16: 13–20)
A reading from the holy Gospel according to Matthew.
Jesus went into the region of Caesarea Philippi and he asked his disciples, "Who do people say that the Son of Man is?" They replied, "Some say John the Baptist, others Elijah, still others Jeremiah or one of the prophets." He said to them, "But who do you say that I am?" Simon Peter said in reply, "You are the Christ, the Son of the living God." Jesus said to him in reply, "Blessed are you, Simon son of Jonah. For flesh and blood has not revealed this to you, but my heavenly Father. And so I say to you, you are Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church, and the gates of the netherworld shall not prevail against it. I will give you the keys to the kingdom of heaven. Whatever you bind on earth shall be bound in heaven; and whatever you loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven." Then he strictly ordered his disciples to tell no one that he was the Christ.

First Reading (Isaiah 22: 15 and 19–23)
A reading from the book of the prophet Isaiah.
Thus states the Lord God Sabaoth: Go and talk to this man Shebna, who is the palace steward. Tell him: You will be deposed, strongman. I will hurl you down from where you are. On that day I will summon my servant Eliakim, son of Hilkiah. I will clothe him with your robe, I will strengthen him with your girdle, I will give him your authority, and he will be a father to the inhabitants of Jerusalem and to the people of Judah. Upon his shoulder I will place the key to the House of David: what he opens, no one shall shut; what he shuts, no one shall open. I will fasten him like a peg in a sure spot, and he will be a seat of honor in the house of his father.

Second Reading (Romans 11: 33–36)
A reading from the letter of Saint Paul to the Romans.
How deep are the riches, the wisdom and knowledge of God! His decision cannot be explained, nor his ways understood! Who has ever known God's thoughts? Who has ever been his adviser? Who has given him something first, so that God had to repay him? For everything comes from him, has been made by him and has to return to him. To him be the glory forever! Amen.

Gospel (Matthew 16: 13–20)
 
A reading from the holy Gospel according to Matthew. 
After that Jesus came to Caesarea Philippi. He asked his disciples, "What do people say of the Son of Man? Who do they say I am?" They stated, "For some of them you are John the Baptist, for others Elijah or Jeremiah or one of the prophets." Jesus asked them, "But you, who do you say I am?" Peter answered, "You are the Messiah, the Son of the living God." Jesus replied, "It is well for you, Simon Barjona, for it is not flesh or blood that has revealed this to you but my Father in heaven. And now I say to you: You are Peter (or Rock) and on this rock I will build my Church; and never will the powers of death overcome it. I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven: whatever you bind on earth shall be bound in heaven, and what you unbind on earth shall be unbound in heaven." Then he ordered his disciples not to tell anyone that he was the Christ.

  1. Responsorial psalm (Psalm 138) (Verses 1–3, 6, and 8)
    The response is: Lord, Your love is eternal; do not forsake the work of Your hands.

    I thank you, O Lord, with all my heart, for you have heard the word of my lips. I sing your praise in the presence of the gods; I bow down towards your holy temple.

    I give thanks to your name, for your love and faithfulness, for your word which exceeds everything. You answered me when I called; you restored my soul and made me strong.

    From above, the Lord watches over the lowly; from afar, he marks down the haughty. How the Lord cares for me! Your kindness, O Lord, endures forever. Forsake not the work of your hands.

  2. Primera lectura (Isaías 22: 15 y 19–23)
    Una lectura del libro del profeta Isaías.
    Así habla el Señor Yahvé de los Ejércitos: Anda a ver a ese funcionario, llamado Sobna, que es administrador del palacio y cuéntale, “Te destituiré de tu puesto y te quitaré tu cargo; Aquel día llamaré a mi servidor, a Eliaquim, hijo de Helcías. Le pasaré tu traje, le colocaré tu cinturón, y le confiaré tu cargo, y será un padre para los habitantes de Jerusalén y para la familia de Judá. Pondré en sus manos la llave de la Casa de David; cuando él abra, nadie podrá cerrar, y cuando cierre, nadie podrá abrir. Lo meteré como un clavo en un muro resistente y su puesto le dará fama a la familia de su padre.”

    Salmo responsorial (Salmo 138) (Versículos 1–3, 6 y 8)
    La respuesta es: Señor, tu amor es eterno; no abandones la obra de tus manos.
    • Te doy gracias, Señor, de todo corazón, te cantaré en presencia de los ángeles. Me postraré ante tu santo Templo.
    • Daré gracias a tu Nombre por tu amor y tu fidelidad, porque tu promesa ha superado tu renombre. Me respondiste cada vez que te invoqué y aumentaste la fuerza de mi alma.
    • El Señor está en las alturas, pero se fija en el humilde y reconoce al orgulloso desde lejos, el Señor lo hará todo por mí. Señor, tu amor es eterno, ¡no abandones la obra de tus manos!

    Segunda lectura (Romanos 11: 33–36)
    Una lectura de la carta de San Pablo a los romanos.
    ¡Qué profunda y llena de riqueza es la sabiduría y la ciencia de Dios! ¡Qué insondables son sus designios y qué incomprensibles sus caminos! ¿Quién penetró en el pensamiento del Señor? ¿Quién fue su consejero? ¿Quién le dio algo, para que tenga derecho a ser retribuido? Porque todo viene de él, ha sido por él, y es para él. ¡A él sea la gloria eternamente! Amén.

    Evangelio (Mateo 16: 13–20)
    Una lectura del Evangelio Santo según el San Mateo.
    Jesús se fue a la región de Cesarea de Filipo. Estando allí, preguntó a sus discípulos: “Según el parecer de la gente, ¿quién es este Hijo del Hombre?” Respondieron: “Unos dicen que eres Juan el Bautista, otros que eres Elías o Jeremías, o alguno de los profetas.” Jesús les preguntó: “Y ustedes, ¿quién dicen que soy yo?” Pedro contestó: “Tú eres el Mesías, el Hijo del Dios vivo.” Jesús le replicó: “Feliz eres, Simón Barjona, porque esto no te lo ha revelado la carne ni la sangre, sino mi Padre que está en los Cielos. Y ahora yo te digo: Tú eres Pedro (o sea Piedra), y sobre esta piedra edificaré mi Iglesia; los poderes de la muerte jamás la podrán vencer. Yo te daré las llaves del Reino de los Cielos: lo que ates en la tierra quedará atado en el Cielo, y lo que desates en la tierra quedará desatado en el Cielo.” Entonces Jesús les ordenó a sus discípulos que no dijeran a nadie que él era el Mesías.

  3. Bacaan Pertama (Yesayas 22: 15 dan 19–23)
    Pembacaan dari kitab dari nabi Yesayas.
    Beginilah firman Tuhan, TUHAN semesta alam: "Mari, pergilah kepada kepala istana ini, kepada Sebna yang mengurus istana, dan katakan: Aku akan melemparkan engkau dari jabatanmu, dan dari pangkatmu engkau akan dijatuhkan. Maka pada waktu itu Aku akan memanggil hamba-Ku, Elyakim bin Hilkia: Aku akan mengenakan jubahmu kepadanya dan ikat pinggangmu akan Kuikatkan kepadanya, dan kekuasaanmu akan Kuberikan ke tangannya; maka ia akan menjadi bapa bagi penduduk Yerusalem dan bagi kaum Yehuda. Aku akan menaruh kunci rumah Daud ke atas bahunya: apabila ia membuka, tidak ada yang dapat menutup; apabila ia menutup, tidak ada yang dapat membuka. Aku akan memberikan dia kedudukan yang teguh seperti gantungan yang dipasang kuat-kuat pada tembok yang kokoh; maka ia akan menjadi kursi kemuliaan bagi kaum keluarganya.

    Mazmur (Mazmur 138) (Ayat 1–3, 6 dan 8)
    Tanggapan adalah: Tuhan, cinta Anda abadi; jangan kautinggalkan perbuatan tanganmu.
    — Aku hendak bersyukur kepada-Mu dengan segenap hatiku, di hadapan para allah aku akan bermazmur bagi-Mu. Aku hendak sujud ke arah bait-Mu yang kudus.
    — Aku memuji nama-Mu, oleh karena kasih-Mu dan oleh karena setia-Mu; sebab Kaubuat nama-Mu dan janji-Mu melebihi segala sesuatu. Pada hari aku berseru, Engkaupun menjawab aku, Engkau menambahkan kekuatan dalam jiwaku.
    — TUHAN itu tinggi, namun Ia melihat orang yang hina, dan mengenal orang yang sombong dari jauh. TUHAN akan menyelesaikannya bagiku! Ya TUHAN, kasih setia-Mu untuk selama-lamanya; janganlah Kautinggalkan perbuatan tangan-Mu!

    Bacaan Kedua (Roma 11: 33–36)
    Pembacaan dari surat Paulus kepada jemaat di Roma.
    O, alangkah dalamnya kekayaan, hikmat dan pengetahuan Allah! Sungguh tak terselidiki keputusan-keputusan-Nya dan sungguh tak terselami jalan-jalan-Nya! Sebab, siapakah yang mengetahui pikiran Tuhan? Atau siapakah yang pernah menjadi penasihat-Nya? Atau siapakah yang pernah memberikan sesuatu kepada-Nya, sehingga Ia harus menggantikannya? Sebab segala sesuatu adalah dari Dia, dan oleh Dia, dan kepada Dia: Bagi Dialah kemuliaan sampai selama-lamanya!

    Bacaan Injil (Matius 16: 13–20)
    Pembacaan dari Injil kudus menurut Santo Matius.
    Setelah Yesus tiba di daerah Kaisarea Filipi, Ia bertanya kepada murid-murid-Nya: "Kata orang, siapakah Anak Manusia itu?" Jawab mereka: "Ada yang mengatakan: Yohanes Pembaptis, ada juga yang mengatakan: Elia dan ada pula yang mengatakan: Yeremia atau salah seorang dari para nabi." Lalu Yesus bertanya kepada mereka: "Tetapi apa katamu, siapakah Aku ini?" Maka jawab Simon Petrus: "Engkau adalah Mesias, Anak Allah yang hidup!" Kata Yesus kepadanya: "Berbahagialah engkau Simon bin Yunus sebab bukan manusia yang menyatakan itu kepadamu, melainkan Bapa-Ku yang di sorga. Dan Akupun berkata kepadamu: Engkau adalah Petrus dan di atas batu karang ini Aku akan mendirikan jemaat-Ku dan alam maut tidak akan menguasainya. Kepadamu akan Kuberikan kunci Kerajaan Sorga. Apa yang kauikat di dunia ini akan terikat di sorga dan apa yang kaulepaskan di dunia ini akan terlepas di sorga." Lalu Yesus melarang murid-murid-Nya supaya jangan memberitahukan kepada siapapun bahwa Ia Mesias.

  5. Unang pagbabasa (Isaias 22: 15 at 19–23)
    Ang pagbabasa sa aklat ni propeta Isaias.
    Ganito ang sabi sa akin ni Yahweh, ang Makapangyarihang Panginoon: “Puntahan mo si Sebna, ng katiwala ng palasyo at sabihin mo sa kanya: Aalisin kita sa iyong katungkulan, palalayasin kita sa iyong kinalalagyan. Tatawagin ko sa araw na iyon ang aking lingkod, si Eliakim na anak ni Hilkias. Siya ang pagsusuutin ko ng iyong buong kasuotan, ibibigay ko sa kanya ang iyong kapangyarihan, siya ang magiging ama ng mga taga-Jerusalem at ng mga taga-Juda. Ibibigay ko sa kanya ang susi ng sambahayan ni David; walang makakapagsara ng anumang buksan niya, at walang makakapagbukas ng anumang sarhan niya. Itatayo ko siyang parang haligi ng tolda, itatayo ko nang matibay sa isang matatag na lugar, at siya'y magiging marangal na trono sa sambahayan ng kanyang ama.”

    Pangalawang pagbabasa (Roma 11: 33–36)
    Ang pagbabasa sa sulat ni San Pablo sa mga taga-Roma.
    Lubhang napakasagana ng kayamanan ng Diyos! Di matarok ang kanyang karunungan at kaalaman! Sino ang makakapagpaliwanag ng kanyang mga kapasyahan? Sino ang makakaunawa ng kanyang mga pamamaraan? Gaya ng nasusulat, “Sino ang nakakaalam sa pag-iisip ng Panginoon? Sino ang maaaring maging tagapayo niya? Sino ang nakapagbigay ng anuman sa kanya na dapat niyang bayaran?” Sapagkat ang lahat ng bagay ay mula sa kanya, sa pamamagitan niya, at pag-aari niya. Sa kanya ang karangalan magpakailanman! Amen.

    Ebanghelyo (Mateo 16: 13–20)
    Ang magandang balita ayon kay San Mateo.
    Nang dumating si Jesus sa bayan ng Cesarea ng Filipos, tinanong niya ang kanyang mga alagad, “Sino raw ang Anak ng Tao, ayon sa mga tao?” At sumagot sila, “Ang sabi po ng ilan, kayo si Juan na Tagapagbautismo. Sabi po naman ng iba, kayo si Elias. At may nagsasabi pong kayo si Jeremias, o isa sa mga propeta.” Tinanong ulit sila ni Jesus, “Ngunit para sa inyo, sino ako?” Sumagot si Simon Pedro, “Kayo po ang Cristo, ang Anak ng Diyos na buháy.” Sinabi sa kanya ni Jesus, “Pinagpala ka, Simon na anak ni Jonas! Sapagkat ang katotohanang ito'y hindi inihayag sa iyo ng sinumang tao kundi ng aking Ama na nasa langit. At sinasabi ko sa iyo, ikaw ay Pedro, at sa ibabaw ng batong ito ay itatayo ko ang aking iglesya at ang kapangyarihan ng kamatayan ay hindi magtatagumpay laban sa kanya. Ibibigay ko sa iyo ang mga susi ng kaharian ng langit. Ang ipagbawal mo sa lupa ay ipagbabawal sa langit, at ang ipahintulot mo sa lupa ay ipahihintulot din sa langit.” At mahigpit niyang iniutos sa kanyang mga alagad na huwag sabihin kaninuman na siya nga ang Cristo.
