New American Bible readings
First reading (Isaiah 55: 1–3)
A reading from the book of the prophet Isaiah.
Thus says the LORD: All you who are thirsty, come to the water! You who have no money, come, receive grain and eat; come, without paying and without cost, drink wine and milk! Why spend your money for what is not bread; your wages for what fails to satisfy? Heed me, and you shall eat well, you shall delight in rich fare. Come to me heedfully, listen, that you may have life. I will renew with you the everlasting covenant, the benefits assured to David.

Second reading (Romans 8: 35 and 37–39)
A reading from the letter of Saint Paul to the Romans.
Brothers and sisters: What will separate us from the love of Christ? Will anguish, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or the sword? No, in all these things we conquer overwhelmingly through him who loved us. For I am convinced that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor present things, nor future things, nor powers, nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Gospel (Matthew 14: 13–21)
A reading from the holy Gospel according to Matthew.
When Jesus heard of the death of John the Baptist, he withdrew in a boat to a deserted place by himself. The crowds heard of this and followed him on foot from their towns. When he disembarked and saw the vast crowd, his heart was moved with pity for them, and he cured their sick. When it was evening, the disciples approached him and said, “This is a deserted place and it is already late; dismiss the crowds so that they can go to the villages and buy food for themselves.” Jesus said to them, “There is no need for them to go away; give them some food yourselves.” But they said to him, “Five loaves and two fish are all we have here.” Then he said, “Bring them here to me,” and he ordered the crowds to sit down on the grass. Taking the five loaves and the two fish, and looking up to heaven, he said the blessing, broke the loaves, and gave them to the disciples, who in turn gave them to the crowds. They all ate and were satisfied, and they picked up the fragments left over—twelve wicker baskets full. Those who ate were about five thousand men, not counting women and children.
Catholic Pastoral Edition Bible readings

First reading (Isaiah 55: 1–3)
A reading from the book of the prophet Isaiah.
Come here, all you who are thirsty, come to the water! All you who have no money, come! Yes, without money and at no cost, buy and drink wine and milk. Why spend money on what is not food and labor for what does not satisfy? Listen to me, and you will eat well; you will enjoy the richest of fare. Incline your ear and come to me; listen, that your soul may live. I will make with you and everlasting covenant, I will fulfill in you my promises to David.

Second reading (Romans 8: 35 and 37–39)
A reading from the letter of Saint Paul to the Romans.
Brothers and sisters: Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Will it be trials, or anguish, persecution or hunger, lack of clothing, or dangers or sword? No, in all of this we are more than conquerors, thanks to him who has loved us. I am certain that neither death nor life, neither angels nor spiritual powers, neither the present nor the future, nor cosmic powers, were they from heaven or from the deep world below, nor any creature whatsoever will separate us from the love of God, which we have in Jesus Christ, our Lord.

Gospel (Matthew 14: 13–21)
A reading from the holy Gospel according to Matthew.
On hearing that John the Baptist had been beheaded, Jesus set out surreptitiously by boat for a secluded place. But the people heard of it, and they followed him on foot from their towns. When Jesus went ashore, he saw the crowd gathered there and he had compassion on them. And he healed their sick. Late in the afternoon, his disciples came to him and stated, "We are in a lonely place and it is now late. You should send these people away, so they can go to the villages and buy something for themselves to eat." But Jesus replied, "They do not need to go away, you give them something to eat." They answered, "We have nothing here but five loaves and two fishes." Jesus stated to them, "Bring them here to me." Then he made everyone sit down on the grass. He took the five loaves and the two fishes, raised his eyes to heaven, pronounced the blessing, broke the loaves and handed them to the disciples to distribute to the people. And they all ate, and everyone had enough; then the disciples gathered up the leftovers, filling twelve baskets. About five thousand men had eaten there besides women and children.

  3. Primera lectura (Isaías 55: 1–3)
    Una lectura del libro del profeta Isaías.
    A ver ustedes que andan con sed, ¡vengan a las aguas! No importa que estén sin plata, vengan; pidan trigo sin dinero, y coman, pidan vino y leche, sin pagar. ¿Para qué van a gastar en lo que no es pan y dar su salario por cosas que no alimentan? Si ustedes me hacen caso, comerán cosas ricas y su paladar se deleitará con comidas exquisitas. Atiéndanme y acérquense a mí, escúchenme y su alma vivirá. Voy a hacer con ustedes una alianza para siempre, para darles los bienes que tengo prometidos a David.

    Salmo responsorial (Salmo 145) (Versículos 8–9 y 15–18)
    La respuesta es: La mano de Dios nos alimenta; él satisface nuestras necesidades.
    • El Señor es bondadoso y compasivo, lento para enojarse y de gran misericordia; el Señor es bueno con todos y tiene compasión de todas sus criaturas.
    • Los ojos de todos esperan en ti, y tú les das la comida a su tiempo; abres tu mano y colmas de favores a todos los vivientes.
    • El Señor es justo en todos sus caminos y bondadoso en todas sus acciones. El Señor está cerca de aquellos que lo invocan, de aquellos que lo invocan de verdad.

    Segunda lectura (Romanos 8: 35 y 37–39)
    Una lectura de la carta de San Pablo a los romanos.
    ¿Quién podrá entonces separarnos del amor de Cristo? ¿Las tribulaciones, las angustias, la persecución, el hambre, la desnudez, los peligros, la espada? Pero en todo esto obtenemos una amplia victoria, gracias a aquel que nos amó. Porque tengo la certeza de que ni la muerte ni la vida, ni los ángeles ni los principados, ni lo presente ni lo futuro, ni los poderes espirituales, ni lo alto ni lo profundo, ni ninguna otra criatura podrá separarnos jamás del amor de Dios, manifestado en Cristo Jesús, nuestro Señor.

    Evangelio (Mateo 14: 13–21)
    Una lectura del Evangelio Santo según el San Mateo.
    Al enterarse de que Juan el bautista fue decapitado, Jesús se alejó en una barca a un lugar desierto para esta a solas. Apenas lo supo la gente, dejó las ciudades y lo siguió a pie. Al desembarcar Jesús y encontrarse con tan gran gentío, sintió compasión de ellos y sanó a sus enfermos. Cuando ya caía la tarde, sus discípulos se le acercaron, diciendo: “Estamos en un lugar despoblado y ya ha pasado la hora. Despide a esta gente para que se vayan a las aldeas y se compren algo de comer.” Pero Jesús les dijo: “No tienen por qué irse; denles ustedes de comer.” Ellos respondieron: “Aquí no tenemos más que cinco panes y dos pescados.” “Tráiganmelos aquí,” les dijo. Y mandó a la gente que se sentara en el pasto. Tomó los cinco panes y los dos pescados, levantó los ojos al cielo, pronunció la bendición, partió los panes y los entregó a los discípulos. Y los discípulos los daban a la gente. Todos comieron hasta saciarse y con los pedazos que sobraron se llenaron doce canastas. Los que comieron fueron unos cinco mil hombres, sin contar las mujeres y los niños.

  4. Bacaan pertama (Yesaya 55: 1–3)
    Pembacaan dari kitab dari nabi Yesaya.
    Ayo, hai semua orang yang haus, marilah dan minumlah air, dan hai orang yang tidak mempunyai uang, marilah! Terimalah gandum tanpa uang pembeli dan makanlah, juga anggur dan susu tanpa bayaran! Mengapakah kamu belanjakan uang untuk sesuatu yang bukan roti, dan upah jerih payahmu untuk sesuatu yang tidak mengenyangkan? Dengarkanlah Aku maka kamu akan memakan yang baik dan kamu akan menikmati sajian yang paling lezat. Sendengkanlah telingamu dan datanglah kepada-Ku; dengarkanlah, maka kamu akan hidup! Aku hendak mengikat perjanjian abadi dengan kamu, menurut kasih setia yang teguh yang Kujanjikan kepada Daud.

    Mazmur (Mazmur 145) (Ayat 8–9 dan 15–18)
    Tanggapan adalah: Tangan Tuhan memberi kita makanan; Dia memenuhi kebutuhan kita.
    — TUHAN itu pengasih dan penyayang, panjang sabar dan besar kasih setia-Nya. TUHAN itu baik kepada semua orang, dan penuh rahmat terhadap segala yang dijadikan-Nya.
    — Mata sekalian orang menantikan Engkau, dan Engkaupun memberi mereka makanan pada waktunya; Engkau yang membuka tangan-Mu dan yang berkenan mengenyangkan segala yang hidup.
    — TUHAN itu adil dalam segala jalan-Nya dan penuh kasih setia dalam segala perbuatan-Nya. TUHAN dekat pada setiap orang yang berseru kepada-Nya, pada setiap orang yang berseru kepada-Nya dalam kesetiaan.

    Bacaan kedua (Roma 8: 35 dan 37–39)
    Pembacaan dari surat Paulus kepada jemaat di Roma.
    Siapakah yang akan memisahkan kita dari kasih Kristus? Penindasan atau kesesakan atau penganiayaan, atau kelaparan atau ketelanjangan, atau bahaya, atau pedang? Tetapi dalam semuanya itu kita lebih dari pada orang-orang yang menang, oleh Dia yang telah mengasihi kita. Sebab aku yakin, bahwa baik maut, maupun hidup, baik malaikat-malaikat, maupun pemerintah-pemerintah, baik yang ada sekarang, maupun yang akan datang, atau kuasa-kuasa, baik yang di atas, maupun yang di bawah, ataupun sesuatu makhluk lain, tidak akan dapat memisahkan kita dari kasih Allah, yang ada dalam Kristus Yesus, Tuhan kita.

    1. Bacaan Injil (Matius 14: 13–21)
      Pembacaan dari Injil kudus menurut Santo Matius.
      Setelah Yesus mendengar berita yang kepala Yohanes sudah memenggal, menyingkirlah Ia dari situ, dan hendak mengasingkan diri dengan perahu ke tempat yang sunyi. Tetapi orang banyak mendengarnya dan mengikuti Dia dengan mengambil jalan darat dari kota-kota mereka. Ketika Yesus mendarat, Ia melihat orang banyak yang besar jumlahnya, maka tergeraklah hati-Nya oleh belas kasihan kepada mereka dan Ia menyembuhkan mereka yang sakit. Menjelang malam, murid-murid-Nya datang kepada-Nya dan berkata: "Tempat ini sunyi dan hari sudah mulai malam. Suruhlah orang banyak itu pergi supaya mereka dapat membeli makanan di desa-desa." Tetapi Yesus berkata kepada mereka: "Tidak perlu mereka pergi, kamu harus memberi mereka makan." Jawab mereka: "Yang ada pada kami di sini hanya lima roti dan dua ikan." Yesus berkata: "Bawalah ke mari kepada-Ku." Lalu disuruh-Nya orang banyak itu duduk di rumput. Dan setelah diambil-Nya lima roti dan dua ikan itu, Yesus menengadah ke langit dan mengucap berkat, lalu memecah-mecahkan roti itu dan memberikannya kepada murid-murid-Nya, lalu murid-murid-Nya membagi-bagikannya kepada orang banyak. Dan mereka semuanya makan sampai kenyang. Kemudian orang mengumpulkan potongan-potongan roti yang sisa, dua belas bakul penuh. Yang ikut makan kira-kira lima ribu laki-laki, tidak termasuk perempuan dan anak-anak.

  8. Unang pagbabasa (Isaias 55: 1–3)
    Ang pagbabasa sa aklat ni propeta Isaias.
    Sinabi ang Panginoon, “Narito ang tubig, kayong mga nauuhaw. Ang mga walang salapi ay lumapit din dito, bumili kayo ng pagkain at ito'y kainin ninyo! Bumili kayo ng alak at gatas kahit walang salaping pambayad. Bakit gumugugol kayo ng salapi sa mga bagay na hindi nakakabusog? Bakit ninyo inuubos ang perang kinita sa mga bagay na sa inyo ay hindi nagbibigay kasiyahan? Makinig kayong mabuti sa akin at sundin ang utos ko, at matitikman ninyo ang pinakamasasarap na pagkain. Makinig kayo at lumapit sa akin. Sundin ninyo ako at magkakaroon kayo ng buhay! Isang walang hanggang kasunduan ang gagawin natin; pagtitibayin ko ang aking walang hanggang pag-ibig kay David.”

    Pangalawang pagbabasa (Roma 8: 35 at 37–39)
    Ang pagbabasa sa sulat ni San Pablo sa mga taga-Roma.
    Sino ang makapaghihiwalay sa atin sa pag-ibig ni Cristo? Ang kaguluhan kaya, ang kapighatian, pag-uusig, pagkagutom, kahirapan, panganib, o kamatayan? Hindi! Sa lahat ng mga ito, tayo'y lalong higit pang magtatagumpay sa pamamagitan niya na nagmamahal sa atin. Sapagkat natitiyak kong walang makapaghihiwalay sa atin sa kanyang pag-ibig. Kahit ang kamatayan o ang buhay, ang mga anghel o ang mga pamunuan at ang mga kapangyarihan, ang kasalukuyan o ang hinaharap, ang kataasan o ang kalaliman, o alinmang nilalang ay hindi makapaghihiwalay sa atin sa pag-ibig ng Diyos na ipinagkaloob sa atin sa pamamagitan ni Cristo Jesus na ating Panginoon.

    Ebanghelyo (Mateo 14: 13–21)
    Ang magandang balita ayon kay San Mateo.
    Nang marinig ni Jesus ang pagkamatay ni Juan, sumakay siya sa isang bangka at pumunta sa isang lugar na walang tao. Ngunit nang mabalitaan naman iyon ng mga tao, sila'y naglakad papalabas sa kani-kanilang bayan at sinundan si Jesus. Pagdating ni Jesus sa dalampasigan, nakita niya ang napakaraming taong iyon. Nahabag siya sa kanila at pinagaling niya ang mga maysakit na dala nila. Nang dapit-hapon na'y lumapit sa kanya ang mga alagad. Sinabi nila, “Malapit na pong lumubog ang araw at liblib ang lugar na ito. Papuntahin na po ninyo sa mga kalapit na nayon ang mga tao upang makabili ng kanilang makakain.” “Hindi na sila kailangang umalis. Bigyan ninyo sila ng makakain,” sabi ni Jesus. Sumagot sila, “Wala po tayong pagkain kundi limang tinapay lamang at dalawang isda.” “Dalhin ninyo rito,” sabi niya. Pinaupo niya sa damuhan ang mga tao. Kinuha ang limang tinapay at dalawang isda, tumingala siya sa langit at nagpasalamat sa Diyos. Pinaghati-hati niya ang mga tinapay at iniutos sa mga alagad na ipamahagi iyon sa mga tao. Nakakain at nabusog ang lahat. Nang ipunin ng mga alagad ang natirang pagkain, nakapuno pa sila ng labindalawang kaing ng tinapay. May limanlibong lalaki ang nakakain, bukod pa sa mga babae at mga bata.
