Primera lectura

Judges 6:11-24a

The LORD's angel came and sat under the oak which was in Ophrah, that belonged to Joash the Abiezrite. His son Gideon was beating out wheat in the wine press, to hide it from the Midianites. The LORD's angel appeared to him, and said to him, "The LORD is with you, you mighty man of valor!" Gideon said to him, "Oh, my lord, if the LORD is with us, why then has all this happened to us? Where are all his wondrous works which our fathers told us of, saying, 'Didn't the LORD bring us up from Egypt?' But now the LORD has cast us off, and delivered us into the hand of Midian." The LORD looked at him, and said, "Go in this your might, and save Israel from the hand of Midian. Haven't I sent you?" He said to him, "O Lord, how shall I save Israel? Behold, my family is the poorest in Manasseh, and I am the least in my father's house." The LORD said to him, "Surely I will be with you, and you shall strike the Midianites as one man." He said to him, "If now I have found favor in your sight, then show me a sign that it is you who talk with me. Please don't go away until I come to you, and bring out my present, and lay it before you." He said, "I will wait until you come back." Gideon went in and prepared a young goat and unleavened cakes of an ephah of meal. He put the meat in a basket and he put the broth in a pot, and brought it out to him under the oak, and presented it. The angel of God said to him, "Take the meat and the unleavened cakes, and lay them on this rock, and pour out the broth." He did so. Then the LORD's angel stretched out the end of the staff that was in his hand, and touched the meat and the unleavened cakes; and fire went up out of the rock and consumed the meat and the unleavened cakes. Then the LORD's angel departed out of his sight. Gideon saw that he was the LORD's angel; and Gideon said, "Alas, Lord GOD! Because I have seen the LORD's angel face to face!" The LORD said to him, "Peace be to you! Don't be afraid. You shall not die." Then Gideon built an altar there to the LORD, and called it "The LORD is Peace." To this day it is still in Ophrah of the Abiezrites.

Salmo responsorial

Psalm 85:9, 11-12, 13-14

Surely his salvation is near those who fear him, that glory may dwell in our land. Truth springs out of the earth. Righteousness has looked down from heaven. Yes, the LORD will give that which is good. Our land will yield its increase. Righteousness goes before him, and prepares the way for his steps.

Evangelio

Matthew 19:23-30

Jesús dijo a sus discípulos: «Os aseguro que un rico entrará con dificultad en el Reino de los Cielos. También os digo que es más fácil que un camello pase por el ojo de una aguja que un rico entre en el Reino de Dios.» Cuando los discípulos lo oyeron, se asombraron mucho, diciendo: «¿Quién, pues, podrá salvarse?» Mirándolos, Jesús dijo: «Para los hombres esto es imposible, pero para Dios todo es posible». Entonces Pedro respondió: «He aquí que lo hemos dejado todo y te hemos seguido. ¿Qué tendremos entonces?» Jesús les dijo: "De cierto os digo que vosotros, los que me habéis seguido, en la regeneración, cuando el Hijo del hombre se siente en el trono de su gloria, os sentaréis también vosotros en doce tronos, para juzgar a las doce tribus de Israel. Todo el que haya dejado casas, o hermanos, o hermanas, o padre, o madre, o esposa, o hijos, o tierras, por mi nombre, recibirá cien veces, y heredará la vida eterna. Pero muchos primeros serán últimos, y últimos, primeros.
