Prima lettura

Genesis 22:1b-19

After these things, God tested Abraham, and said to him, "Abraham!" He said, "Here I am." He said, "Now take your son, your only son, Isaac, whom you love, and go into the land of Moriah. Offer him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains which I will tell you of." Abraham rose early in the morning, and saddled his donkey; and took two of his young men with him, and Isaac his son. He split the wood for the burnt offering, and rose up, and went to the place of which God had told him. On the third day Abraham lifted up his eyes, and saw the place far off. Abraham said to his young men, "Stay here with the donkey. The boy and I will go over there. We will worship, and come back to you." Abraham took the wood of the burnt offering and laid it on Isaac his son. He took in his hand the fire and the knife. They both went together. Isaac spoke to Abraham his father, and said, "My father?" He said, "Here I am, my son." He said, "Here is the fire and the wood, but where is the lamb for a burnt offering?" Abraham said, "God will provide himself the lamb for a burnt offering, my son." So they both went together. They came to the place which God had told him of. Abraham built the altar there, and laid the wood in order, bound Isaac his son, and laid him on the altar, on the wood. Abraham stretched out his hand, and took the knife to kill his son. The LORD's angel called to him out of the sky, and said, "Abraham, Abraham!" He said, "Here I am." He said, "Don't lay your hand on the boy or do anything to him. For now I know that you fear God, since you have not withheld your son, your only son, from me." Abraham lifted up his eyes, and looked, and saw that behind him was a ram caught in the thicket by his horns. Abraham went and took the ram, and offered him up for a burnt offering instead of his son. Abraham called the name of that place "The LORD Will Provide". As it is said to this day, "On the LORD's mountain, it will be provided." The LORD's angel called to Abraham a second time out of the sky, and said, " 'I have sworn by myself,' says the LORD, 'because you have done this thing, and have not withheld your son, your only son, that I will bless you greatly, and I will multiply your offspring greatly like the stars of the heavens, and like the sand which is on the seashore. Your offspring will possess the gate of his enemies. All the nations of the earth will be blessed by your offspring, because you have obeyed my voice.' " So Abraham returned to his young men, and they rose up and went together to Beersheba. Abraham lived at Beersheba.

Salmo responsoriale

Psalm 115:1-2, 3-4, 5-6, 8-9

Not to us, LORD, not to us, but to your name give glory, for your loving kindness, and for your truth's sake. Why should the nations say, "Where is their God, now?" But our God is in the heavens. He does whatever he pleases. Their idols are silver and gold, the work of men's hands. They have mouths, but they don't speak. They have eyes, but they don't see. They have ears, but they don't hear. They have noses, but they don't smell. Those who make them will be like them; yes, everyone who trusts in them. Israel, trust in the LORD! He is their help and their shield.

Vangelo

Matthew 9:1-8

Ed egli, entrato nella navicella, passò all'altra riva, e venne nella sua città. ED ecco, gli fu presentato un paralitico che giaceva in letto. E Gesù, veduta la fede loro, disse al paralitico: Figliuolo, sta' di buon cuore, i tuoi peccati ti son rimessi. Ed ecco, alcuni degli Scribi dicevano fra sè stessi: Costui bestemmia. E Gesù, veduti i lor pensieri, disse: Perchè pensate voi cose malvage ne' vostri cuori? Perciocchè, quale è più agevole, dire: I tuoi peccati ti son rimessi, ovver dire: Levati, e cammina? Ora, acciocchè voi sappiate che il Figliuol dell'uomo ha autorità in terra di rimettere i peccati: Tu, levati (disse egli allora al paralitico), togli il tuo letto, e vattene a casa tua. Ed egli, levatosi, se ne andò a casa sua. E le turbe, veduto ciò, si maravigliarono, e glorificarono Iddio, che avea data cotal podestà agli uomini.
