First reading (Exodus 20: 1–17)
A reading from the book of Exodus.
In those days, God delivered all these
commandments: "I, the LORD, am your God, who brought you out of the land
of Egypt, that place of slavery. You shall not have other gods besides me. You
shall not carve idols for yourselves in the shape of anything in the sky above or
on the earth below or in the waters beneath the earth; you shall not bow down
before them or worship them. For I, the LORD, your God, am a jealous God, inflicting
punishment for their fathers' wickedness on the children of those who hate me, down
to the third and fourth generation; but bestowing mercy down to the thousandth
generation on the children of those who love me and keep my commandments. "You
shall not take the name of the LORD, your God, in vain. For the LORD will not
leave unpunished the one who takes his name in vain. "Remember to keep
holy the Sabbath day. Six days you may labor and do all your work, but the
seventh day is the Sabbath of the LORD, your God. No work may be done then
either by you, or your son or daughter, or your male or female slave, or your
beast, or by the alien who lives with you. In six days, the Lord made the
heavens and the earth, the sea and all that is in them; but on the seventh day
he rested. That is why the LORD has blessed the Sabbath day and made it holy. "Honor
your father and your mother, that you may have a long life in the land which
the LORD, your God, is giving you. You shall not kill. You shall not commit
adultery. You shall not steal. You shall not bear false witness against your
neighbor. You shall not covet your neighbor's house. You shall not covet your
neighbor's wife, nor his male or female slave, nor his ox or ass, nor anything
else that belongs to him."
Second reading (1 Corinthians 1: 22–25)
A reading from the first letter of Saint
Paul to the Corinthians.
Brothers and sisters: Jews demand signs
and Greeks look for wisdom, but we proclaim Christ crucified, a stumbling block
to Jews and foolishness to Gentiles, but to those who are called, Jews and
Greeks alike, Christ the power of God and the wisdom of God. For the
foolishness of God is wiser than human wisdom, and the weakness of God is stronger
than human strength.
Gospel (John 2: 13–25)
A reading from the holy Gospel according
to John.
Since the Passover of the Jews was near, Jesus
went up to Jerusalem. He found in the temple area those who sold oxen, sheep,
and doves, as well as the moneychangers seated there. He made a whip out of
cords and drove them all out of the temple area, with the sheep and oxen, and
spilled the coins of the moneychangers and overturned their tables, and to
those who sold doves he said, "Take these out of here, and stop making my
Father's house a marketplace." His disciples recalled the words of
Scripture, ‘Zeal for your house will consume me.’ At this, the Jews answered
and said to him, "What sign can you show us for doing this?" Jesus
answered and said to them, "Destroy this temple and in three days I will
raise it up." The Jews said, "This temple has been under construction
for forty-six years, and you will raise it up in three days?" But he was
speaking about the temple of his body. Therefore, when he was raised from the
dead, his disciples remembered that he had said this, and they came to believe
the Scripture and the word Jesus had spoken. While he was in Jerusalem for the
feast of Passover, many began to believe in his name when they saw the signs he
was doing. But Jesus would not trust himself to them because he knew them all, and
did not need anyone to testify about human nature. He himself understood it
well.
Catholic Pastoral Edition Bible readings
First reading (Exodus 20: 1–17)
A reading from the book of Exodus.
God spoke all these words. He stated, "I am Yahweh your God who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of slavery. Do not have other gods before me. Do not make yourself a carved image or any likeness of anything in heaven, or on the earth beneath, or in the waters under the earth; you shall not bow down to them or serve them. For I, Yahweh your God, am a jealous God, for the sin of the fathers, when they rebel against me, I punish the sons, the grandsons and the great-grandsons; but I show steadfast love until the thousandth generation for those who love me and keep my commandments. Do not take the name of Yahweh your God in vain for Yahweh will not leave unpunished anyone who takes his name in vain. Remember the sabbath day and keep it holy. For six days you will labor and do all your work, but the seventh day is a sabbath for Yahweh your God. Do not work on that day, neither you, nor your son, nor your daughter nor your servants, men or women, nor your animals, nor the stranger who is staying with you. For in six days Yahweh made the heavens and the earth and the sea and all that is in them, but on the seventh day he rested; that is why Yahweh has blessed the sabbath day and made it holy. Honor your father and your mother that you may have a long life in the land that Yahweh has given you. Do not kill. Do not commit adultery. Do not steal. Do not give false witness against your neighbor. Do not covet your neighbor's house. Do not covet your neighbor's wife, or his servant, man or woman, or his ox, or his donkey, or anything that is his."
Second reading (1 Corinthians 1: 22–25)
A reading from the first letter of Saint Paul to the Corinthians.
The Jews ask for miracles and the Greeks for a higher knowledge, while we proclaim a crucified Messiah. For the Jews, what a great scandal! And for the Greeks, what nonsense! But he is Christ, the power of God and the wisdom of God for those called by God among both Jews and Greeks. In reality, the "foolishness" of God is wiser than humans, and the "weakness" of God is stronger than humans.
Gospel (John 2: 13–25)
A reading from the holy Gospel according to John.
As the Passover of the Jews was at hand, Jesus went up to Jerusalem. In the Temple court he found merchants selling oxen, sheep and doves, and money-changers seated at their tables. Making a whip of cords, Jesus drove them all out of the Temple court, together with the oxen and sheep. He knocked over the tables of the money-changers, scattering the coins, and ordered the people selling doves, "Take all this away and stop turning my Father's house into a marketplace!" Jesus' disciples recalled the words of Scripture: Zeal for your House devours me as a fire. The Jews then questioned Jesus, "Where are the miraculous signs which give you the right to do this?" And Jesus stated, "Destroy this temple and in three days I will raise it up." The Jews then replied, "The building of this temple has already taken forty-six years, and you will raise it up in three days?" Actually, Jesus was referring to the temple of his body. Only when he had risen from the dead did his disciples remember these words; then they believed both the Scripture and the words Jesus had spoken. Jesus stayed in Jerusalem during the Passover Festival and many believed in his Name when they saw the miraculous signs he performed. But Jesus did not trust himself to them, because he knew all of them. He had no need of evidence about anyone for he himself knew what there was in each one.

Responsorial psalm (Psalm 19) (Verses 8–11)
ReplyDeleteThe response is: Lord, you have the words of everlasting life.
The law of the Lord is perfect: it gives life to the soul. The word of the Lord is trustworthy: it gives wisdom to the simple.
The precepts of the Lord are right: they give joy to the heart. The commandments of the Lord are clear: they enlighten the eyes.
The fear of the Lord is pure, it endures forever; the judgments of the Lord are true, all of them just and right.
They are more precious than gold — pure gold of a jeweller; they are much sweeter than honey, which drops from the honeycomb.
This responsorial psalm is taken from the Catholic Pastoral Edition Bible.

ReplyDeletePrimera lectura (Éxodo 20: 1–17)
ReplyDeleteUna lectura del libro del Éxodo.
Entonces Dios dijo todas estas palabras: “Yo soy Yahvé, tu Dios, el que te sacó de Egipto, país de la esclavitud. No tendrás otros dioses fuera de mí. No te harás estatua ni imagen alguna de lo que hay arriba, en el cielo, abajo, en la tierra, y en las aguas debajo de la tierra. No te postres ante esos dioses, ni les sirvas, porque yo, Yahvé, tu Dios, soy un Dios celoso. Yo pido cuentas a hijos, nietos y biznietos por la maldad de sus padres que no me quisieron. Pero me muestro favorable hasta mil generaciones con los que me aman y observan mis mandamientos. No tomarás en vano el nombre de Yahvé, tu Dios, porque Yahvé no dejará sin castigo a aquel que toma su nombre en vano. Acuérdate del día del Sábado, para santificarlo. Trabaja seis días, y en ellos haz todas tus faenas. Pero el día séptimo es día de descanso, consagrado a Yahvé, tu Dios. Que nadie trabaje: ni tú, ni tus hijos, ni tus hijas, ni tus siervos, ni tus siervas, ni tus animales, ni los forasteros que viven en tu país. Pues en seis días Yahvé hizo el cielo y la tierra, el mar y cuanto hay en ellos, y el séptimo día descansó. Por eso bendijo el Sábado y lo hizo sagrado. Respeta a tu padre y a tu madre, para que se prolongue tu vida sobre la tierra que Yahvé, tu Dios, te da. No matarás. No cometerás adulterio. No robarás. No atestiguarás en falso contra tu prójimo. No codiciarás la casa de tu prójimo. No codiciarás su mujer, ni sus servidores, su buey o su burro. No codiciarás nada de lo que le pertenece.”
Salmo responsorial (Salmo 19) (Versículos 8–11)
La respuesta es: Señor, tienes las palabras de vida eterna.
• La ley del Señor es perfecta, reconforta el alma; el testimonio del Señor es verdadero, da sabiduría al simple.
• Los preceptos del Señor son rectos, alegran el corazón; los mandamientos del Señor son claros, iluminan los ojos.
• La palabra del Señor es pura, permanece para siempre; los juicios del Señor son la verdad, enteramente justos.
• Son más atrayentes que el oro, que el oro más fino; más dulces que la miel, más que el jugo del panal.
Segunda lectura (1 corintios 1: 22–25)
Una lectura de la primera carta de San Pablo a los corintios.
Los judíos quieren ver señales milagrosas y los griegos buscan sabiduría; pero nosotros anunciamos a un Mesías crucificado. Esto resulta ofensivo a los judíos, y a los no judíos les parece una tontería; pero para los que Dios ha llamado, sean judíos o griegos, ese Mesías es el poder y la sabiduría de Dios. Pues lo que en Dios puede parecer una tontería es mucho más sabio que toda sabiduría humana; y lo que en Dios puede parecer debilidad es más fuerte que toda fuerza humana.
Evangelio (Juan 2: 13–25)
Una lectura del Evangelio Santo según el San Juan.
Se acercaba la Pascua de los judíos. Jesús subió a Jerusalén y encontró en el Templo a los vendedores de bueyes, ovejas y palomas y a los cambistas sentados delante de sus mesas. Hizo un látigo de cuerdas y los echó a todos del Templo, junto con sus ovejas y sus bueyes; desparramó las monedas de los cambistas, derribó sus mesas y dijo a los vendedores de palomas: “Saquen esto de aquí y no hagan de la casa de mi Padre una casa de comercio.” Y sus discípulos recordaron las palabras de la Escritura: El celo por tu Casa me consumirá. Entonces los judíos le preguntaron: “¿Qué signo nos das para obrar así?” Jesús les respondió: “Destruyan este templo y en tres días lo volveré a levantar.” Los judíos le dijeron: “Han sido necesarios cuarenta y seis años para construir este Templo, ¿y tú lo vas a levantar en tres días?” Pero el templo al que Jesús se refería era su propio cuerpo. Por eso, cuando resucitó, sus discípulos se acordaron de lo que había dicho y creyeron en la Escritura y en las palabras de Jesús. Mientras Jesús estaba en Jerusalén, en la fiesta de la Pascua, muchos creyeron en él al ver las señales milagrosas que hacía. Pero Jesús no confiaba en ellos, porque los conocía a todos. No necesitaba ser informado acerca de nadie, pues él mismo conocía el corazón de cada uno.

DeleteUnang pagbabasa (Exodo 20: 1–17)
ReplyDeleteAng pagbabasa sa aklat ng Exodo.
Ang lahat ng ito'y sinabi ng Diyos: “Ako si Yahweh, ang iyong Diyos na naglabas sa iyo sa Egipto at nagpalaya sa iyo mula sa pagkaalipin. “Huwag kang sasamba sa ibang diyos, maliban sa akin. “Huwag kang gagawa ng imahen ng anumang nilalang na nasa langit, nasa lupa, o nasa tubig upang sambahin. Huwag mo silang yuyukuran ni sasambahin sapagkat akong si Yahweh na iyong Diyos ay mapanibughuing Diyos. Ang kasalanan ng mga magulang ay sinisingil ko sa kanilang mga anak hanggang sa ikatlo at ikaapat na salinlahi. Ngunit ipinadarama ko ang aking pag-ibig sa libu-libong salinlahi ng mga umiibig sa akin at tumutupad sa aking mga kautusan. “Huwag mong gagamitin sa walang kabuluhan ang pangalan ni Yahweh na iyong Diyos. Tiyak na paparusahan ko ang sinumang gumamit nito nang walang kabuluhan. “Lagi mong tandaan at ilaan para sa akin ang Araw ng Pamamahinga. Anim na araw kang magtatrabaho, at tapusin mo ang dapat gawin. Subalit ang ikapitong araw ay para kay Yahweh na iyong Diyos; ito ay Araw ng Pamamahinga. Sa araw na ito'y huwag magtrabaho ang sinuman sa inyo; kayo, ang inyong mga anak, mga aliping lalaki o babae, ang inyong mga alagang hayop, ni ang mga dayuhang nakikipamayan sa inyo. Anim na araw kong nilikha ang langit, ang lupa, ang mga dagat at ang lahat ng nasa mga ito. Ngunit namahinga ako sa ikapitong araw. Kaya't ito'y aking pinagpala at inilaan para sa akin. Igalang mo ang iyong ama at ina. Sa gayo'y mabubuhay ka nang matagal sa lupaing ibinibigay sa inyo ni Yahweh na inyong Diyos.Huwag kang papatay. Huwag kang mangangalunya. Huwag kang magnanakaw.Huwag kang sasaksi nang walang katotohanan laban sa iyong kapwa. Huwag mong pagnanasaang maangkin ang sambahayan ng iyong kapwa: ang kanyang asawa, mga alilang lalaki o babae, mga baka, asno o ang anumang pag-aari niya.”
Pangalawang pagbabasa (1 Corinto 1: 22–25)
Ang pagbabasa sa unang sulat ni San Pablo sa mga taga-Corinto.
Ang mga Judio'y humihingi ng himala bilang katunayan. Karunungan naman ang hinahanap ng mga Griego. Ngunit ang ipinapangaral namin ay si Cristo na ipinako sa krus, na para sa mga Judio ay isang katitisuran at para sa mga Hentil ay isang kahangalan. Subalit sa mga tinawag ng Diyos, maging Judio o maging Griego, si Cristo ang kapangyarihan at karunungan ng Diyos. Sapagkat ang inaakala nilang kahangalan ng Diyos ay karunungang higit pa sa karunungan ng tao, at ang inaakala nilang kahinaan ng Diyos ay kalakasang higit pa sa kalakasan ng tao.
Ebanghelyo (Juan 2: 13–25)
DeleteAng magandang balita ayon kay San Juan.
Malapit na ang Paskwa ng mga Judio kaya't pumunta si Jesus sa Jerusalem. Nakita niya sa Templo ang mga nagtitinda ng mga baka, tupa at kalapati, at ang mga namamalit ng salapi. Kumuha siya ng lubid at ginawa iyong panghagupit, at ipinagtabuyan niyang palabas ang mga nagtitinda, pati na ang mga baka at tupa. Isinabog niya ang salapi ng mga namamalit ng pera at ipinagtataob ang kanilang mga mesa. Pinagsabihan niya ang mga nagtitinda ng kalapati, “Alisin ninyo rito ang mga iyan! Huwag ninyong gawing palengke ang bahay ng aking Ama!” Naalala ng kanyang mga alagad ang sinasabi sa kasulatan, “Ang malasakit ko sa iyong bahay ang tutupok sa akin.” Dahil dito'y tinanong siya ng mga pinuno ng Judio, “Anong himala ang maipapakita mo upang patunayang may karapatan kang gawin ito?” Sumagot si Jesus, “Gibain ninyo ang Templong ito, at sa loob ng tatlong araw ay muli ko itong itatayo.” Sinabi ng mga Judio, “Apatnapu't anim na taong ginawa ang Templong ito, at itatayo mo sa loob lamang ng tatlong araw?” Ngunit ang templong tinutukoy ni Jesus ay ang kanyang katawan. Kaya't nang siya'y muling nabuhay, naalala ng kanyang mga alagad ang sinabi niyang ito, at sila'y naniwala sa kasulatan at sa sinabi ni Jesus. Nang Pista ng Paskwa ay nasa Jerusalem si Jesus. Marami ang naniwala sa kanya nang makita nila ang mga himalang ginagawa niya. Subalit hindi ipinagkatiwala ni Jesus ang kanyang sarili sa kanila, sapagkat kilala niya ang lahat ng mga tao. Hindi na kailangang may magsabi pa sa kanya tungkol sa kaninuman, sapagkat nalalaman niya ang nasa isip ng lahat ng tao.
