Primera lectura

Judges 11:29-39a

Then the LORD's Spirit came on Jephthah, and he passed over Gilead and Manasseh, and passed over Mizpah of Gilead, and from Mizpah of Gilead he passed over to the children of Ammon. Jephthah vowed a vow to the LORD, and said, "If you will indeed deliver the children of Ammon into my hand, then it shall be, that whatever comes out of the doors of my house to meet me when I return in peace from the children of Ammon, it shall be the LORD's, and I will offer it up for a burnt offering." So Jephthah passed over to the children of Ammon to fight against them; and the LORD delivered them into his hand. He struck them from Aroer until you come to Minnith, even twenty cities, and to Abelcheramim, with a very great slaughter. So the children of Ammon were subdued before the children of Israel. Jephthah came to Mizpah to his house; and behold, his daughter came out to meet him with tambourines and with dances. She was his only child. Besides her he had neither son nor daughter. When he saw her, he tore his clothes, and said, "Alas, my daughter! You have brought me very low, and you are one of those who trouble me; for I have opened my mouth to the LORD, and I can't go back." She said to him, "My father, you have opened your mouth to the LORD; do to me according to that which has proceeded out of your mouth, because the LORD has taken vengeance for you on your enemies, even on the children of Ammon." Then she said to her father, "Let this thing be done for me. Leave me alone two months, that I may depart and go down on the mountains, and bewail my virginity, I and my companions." He said, "Go." He sent her away for two months; and she departed, she and her companions, and mourned her virginity on the mountains. At the end of two months, she returned to her father, who did with her according to his vow which he had vowed. She was a virgin. It became a custom in Israel

Salmo responsorial

Psalm 40:5, 7-8a, 8b-9, 10

Many, LORD, my God, are the wonderful works which you have done, and your thoughts which are toward us. They can't be declared back to you. If I would declare and speak of them, they are more than can be counted. Then I said, "Behold, I have come. It is written about me in the book in the scroll. I delight to do your will, my God. Yes, your law is within my heart." I have proclaimed glad news of righteousness in the great assembly. Behold, I will not seal my lips, LORD, you know. I have not hidden your righteousness within my heart. I have declared your faithfulness and your salvation. I have not concealed your loving kindness and your truth from the great assembly.

Evangelio

Matthew 22:1-14

Respondiendo Jesús, les volvió a hablar en parábolas, diciendo: "El Reino de los Cielos es semejante a un rey que hizo fiesta de bodas a su hijo; y envió a sus siervos a llamar a los convidados a las bodas; mas éstos no quisieron venir. Volvió a enviar otros siervos, diciendo: Decid a los convidados: He aquí, he preparado mi comida; mis toros y animales engordados han sido muertos, y todo está dispuesto; venid a las bodas. Mas ellos, sin hacer caso, se fueron, uno a su labranza, y otro a sus negocios; y otros, tomando a los siervos, los afrentaron y los mataron. Al oírlo el rey, se enojó; y enviando sus ejércitos, destruyó a aquellos homicidas, y quemó su ciudad. "Entonces dijo a sus siervos: Las bodas a la verdad están preparadas; mas los que fueron convidados no eran dignos. Id, pues, a las salidas de los caminos, y llamad a las bodas a cuantos halléis.' Y saliendo los siervos por los caminos, juntaron a todos los que hallaron, juntamente malos y buenos; y las bodas fueron llenas de convidados. «Y entró el rey para ver a los convidados, y vio allí a un hombre que no estaba vestido de boda. Y le dijo: Amigo, ¿cómo entraste aquí, sin estar vestido de boda? Mas él enmudeció. Entonces el rey dijo a los que servían: Atadle de pies y manos, y echadle en las tinieblas de afuera; allí será el lloro y el crujir de dientes. Porque muchos son llamados, y pocos escogidos».
