Erste Lesung
Tobit 3:1-11a, 16-17a
I was grieved and wept, and prayed in sorrow, saying, "O Lord, you are righteous, and all your works and all your ways are mercy and truth, and you judge true and righteous judgment forever. Remember me, and look at me. Don't take vengeance on me for my sins and my ignorances, and the sins of my fathers who sinned before you. For they disobeyed your commandments. You gave us as plunder, for captivity, for death, and for a proverb of reproach to all the nations among whom we are dispersed. Now your judgments are many and true, that you should deal with me according to my sins and the sins of my fathers, because we didn't keep your commandments, for we didn't walk in truth before you. Now deal with me according to that which is pleasing in your sight. Command my spirit to be taken from me, that I may be released, and become earth. For it is more profitable for me to die rather than to live, because I have heard false reproaches, and there is much sorrow in me. Command that I be released from my distress, now, and go to the everlasting place. Don't turn your face away from me." The same day it happened to Sarah the daughter of Raguel in Ecbatana of Media, that she also was reproached by her father's maidservants; because that she had been given to seven husbands, and Asmodaeus the evil spirit killed them, before they had lain with her. And they said to her, "Do you not know that you strangle your husbands? You have had already seven husbands, and you haven't borne the name of any one of them. Why do you scourge us? If they are dead, go your ways with them. Let us never see either son or daughter from you." When she heard these things, she was grieved exceedingly, so that she thought about hanging herself. Then she said, "I am the only daughter of my father. If I do this, it will be a reproach to him, and I will bring down his old age with sorrow to the grave." Then she prayed by the window, and said, "Blessed are you, O Lord my God, and blessed is your holy and honorable name forever! Let all your works praise you forever! The prayer of both was heard before the glory of the great God. Raphael also was sent to heal them both, to scale away the white films from Tobit's eyes, and to give Sarah the daughter of Raguel for a wife to Tobias the son of Tobit; and to bind Asmodaeus the evil spirit; because it belonged to Tobias that he should inherit her. At that very time, Tobit returned and entered into his house, and Sarah the daughter of Raguel came down from her upper chamber.
Antwortpsalm
Psalm 25:2-3, 4-5ab, 6 and 7bc, 8-9
My God, I have trusted in you. Don't let me be shamed. Don't let my enemies triumph over me. Yes, no one who waits for you will be shamed. They will be shamed who deal treacherously without cause. Show me your ways, LORD. Teach me your paths. Guide me in your truth, and teach me, for you are the God of my salvation. I wait for you all day long. LORD, remember your tender mercies and your loving kindness, for they are from old times. Don't remember the sins of my youth, nor my transgressions. Remember me according to your loving kindness, for your goodness' sake, LORD. Good and upright is the LORD, therefore he will instruct sinners in the way. He will guide the humble in justice. He will teach the humble his way.
Evangelium
Mark 12:18-27
Da traten die Sadduzäer zu ihm, die da halten, es sei keine Auferstehung; die fragten ihn und sprachen: Meister, Mose hat uns geschrieben: Wenn jemands Bruder stirbt und hinterläßt ein Weib, und hinterläßt keine Kinder, so soll sein Bruder sein Weib nehmen und seinem Bruder Samen erwecken. Nun sind sieben Brüder gewesen. Der erste nahm ein Weib; der starb und hinterließ keinen Samen. Und der andere nahm sie und starb und hinterließ auch nicht Samen. Der Dritte desgleichen. Und es nahmen sie alle sieben und hinterließen nicht Samen. Zuletzt nach allen starb das Weib auch. Nun in der Auferstehung, wenn sie auferstehen, wes Weib wird sie sein unter ihnen? Denn sieben haben sie zum Weibe gehabt. Da antwortete Jesus und sprach zu ihnen: Ist's nicht also? Ihr irrt darum, daß ihr nichts wisset von der Schrift noch von der Kraft Gottes. Wenn sie von den Toten auferstehen werden, so werden sie nicht freien noch sich freien lassen, sondern sie sind wie die Engel im Himmel. Aber von den Toten, daß sie auferstehen werden, habt ihr nicht gelesen im Buch Mose's bei dem Busch, wie Gott zu ihm sagte und sprach: "Ich bin der Gott Abrahams und der Gott Isaaks und der Gott Jakobs"? Gott aber ist nicht der Toten, sondern der Lebendigen Gott. Darum irrt ihr sehr.
