Primeira leitura

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.

Evangelho

Matthew 22:1-14

Jesus respondeu e lhes falou novamente por parábolas, dizendo: "O Reino dos Céus é semelhante a um rei que preparou um banquete de casamento para seu filho, e enviou seus servos para chamar os convidados para o banquete de casamento, mas eles não quiseram vir. Novamente enviou outros servos, dizendo: 'Digam aos convidados: "Vejam, preparei o meu banquete. Meus bois e novilhos gordos foram abatidos, e tudo está pronto. Venham para o banquete de casamento!"' Mas eles não deram atenção e seguiram seus caminhos, um para a sua fazenda, outro para os seus negócios; e os restantes agarraram os servos dele, os maltrataram e os mataram. Quando o rei ouviu isso, ficou irado e, enviando os seus exércitos, destruiu aqueles assassinos e incendiou a cidade deles. "Então disse aos seus servos: 'O banquete de casamento está pronto, mas os convidados não eram dignos. Vão, portanto, aos cruzamentos das estradas e convidem para o banquete de casamento todos os que vocês encontrarem.' Aqueles servos saíram pelas estradas e reuniram todos os que encontraram, tanto maus quanto bons. E o salão de casamento ficou cheio de convidados. "Mas, quando o rei entrou para ver os convidados, viu ali um homem que não vestia trajes de casamento, e lhe perguntou: 'Amigo, como você entrou aqui sem trajes de casamento?' E ele emudeceu. Então o rei disse aos servos: 'Amarrem-lhe os pés e as mãos, levem-no e lancem-no nas trevas exteriores. Ali haverá choro e ranger de dentes.' Pois muitos são chamados, mas poucos escolhidos."
