Lectures du jour

Première lecture

Wisdom 2:1a, 12-22

For they said within themselves, with unsound reasoning, "Our life is short and sorrowful. There is no healing when a man comes to his end, and no one was ever known who was released from Hades. But let's lie in wait for the righteous man, because he annoys us, is contrary to our works, reproaches us with sins against the law, and charges us with sins against our training. He professes to have knowledge of God, and calls himself a child of the Lord. He became to us a reproof of our thoughts. He is grievous to us even to look at, because his life is unlike other men's, and his paths are strange. We were regarded by him as something worthless, and he abstains from our ways as from uncleanness. He calls the latter end of the righteous happy. He boasts that God is his father. Let's see if his words are true. Let's test what will happen at the end of his life. For if the righteous man is God's son, he will uphold him, and he will deliver him out of the hand of his adversaries. Let's test him with insult and torture, that we may find out how gentle he is, and test his patience. Let's condemn him to a shameful death, for he will be protected, according to his words." Thus they reasoned, and they were led astray; for their wickedness blinded them, and they didn't know the mysteries of God, neither did they hope for wages of holiness, nor did they discern that there is a prize for blameless souls.

Psaume responsorial

Psalm 34:17-18, 19-20, 21 and 23

The righteous cry, and the LORD hears, and delivers them out of all their troubles. The LORD is near to those who have a broken heart, and saves those who have a crushed spirit. Many are the afflictions of the righteous, but the LORD delivers him out of them all. He protects all of his bones. Not one of them is broken. Evil shall kill the wicked. Those who hate the righteous shall be condemned. The LORD redeems the soul of his servants. None of those who take refuge in him shall be condemned.

Évangile

John 7:1-2, 10, 25-30

Après ces choses, Jésus parcourait la Galilée, car il ne voulait pas demeurer en Judée, parce que les Juifs cherchaient à le faire mourir. Or, la fête des Juifs, appelée des Tabernacles, approchait. Mais, lorsque ses frères furent partis, il monta aussi à la fête, non pas publiquement, mais comme en cachette. Et quelques-uns de ceux de Jérusalem disaient: N'est-ce pas celui qu'on cherche à faire mourir? Et le voilà qui parle librement, et on ne lui dit rien. Les chefs auraient-ils vraiment reconnu qu'il est véritablement le Christ? Cependant nous savons d'où il est; au lieu que, quand le Christ viendra, personne ne saura d'où il est. Et Jésus s'écriait donc dans le temple, enseignant, et disant: Vous me connaissez, et vous savez d'où je suis. Je ne suis pas venu de moi-même, mais celui qui m'a envoyé est véritable, et vous ne le connaissez point. Moi, je le connais; car je viens de sa part, et c'est lui qui m'a envoyé. Ils cherchaient donc à se saisir de lui; mais personne ne mit la main sur lui, parce que son heure n'était pas encore venue.
