Primeira leitura
1 Maccabees 6:1-13
King Antiochus was traveling through the upper countries; and he heard that in Elymais in Persia there was a city renowned for riches, for silver and gold, and that the temple which was in it was exceedingly rich, and that in it were golden shields, breastplates, and weapons which Alexander, son of Philip, the Macedonian king, who reigned first among the Greeks, left behind there. So he came and tried to take the city and to pillage it; and he was not able, because his plan was known to them of the city, and they rose up against him in battle. He fled and returned to Babylon with great disappointment. Then someone came into Persia bringing him news that the armies which went against the land of Judah had been put to flight, and that Lysias went first with a strong army and was put to shame before them, and that they had grown strong because of weapons, power, and a supply of plunder which they took from the armies that they had cut off, and that they had pulled down the abomination which he had built upon the altar that was in Jerusalem, and that they had surrounded the sanctuary with high walls, as before, and also Bethsura, his city. It came to pass, when the king heard these words, he was astonished and moved exceedingly. He laid himself down on his bed, and fell sick for grief, because it had not turned out for him as he had planned. He was there many days, because great grief continually gripped him, and he realized that he would die. He called for all his friends, and said to them, "Sleep departs from my eyes, and my heart fails because of worry. I said in my heart, 'To what suffering I have come! How great a flood it is that I'm in, now! For I was gracious and loved in my power.' But now I remember the evils which I did at Jerusalem, and that I took all the vessels of silver and gold that were in it, and sent out to destroy the inhabitants of Judah without a cause. I perceive that it is because of this that these evils have come upon me. Behold, I am perishing through great grief in a strange land."
Salmo responsorial
Psalm 9:2-3, 4 and 6, 16 and 19
I will be glad and rejoice in you. I will sing praise to your name, O Most High. When my enemies turn back, they stumble and perish in your presence. For you have maintained my just cause. You sit on the throne judging righteously. The enemy is overtaken by endless ruin. The very memory of the cities which you have overthrown has perished. The LORD has made himself known. He has executed judgment. The wicked is snared by the work of his own hands. Meditation. Selah. Arise, LORD! Don't let man prevail. Let the nations be judged in your sight.
Evangelho
Luke 20:27-40
Alguns dos saduceus, aqueles que negam que haja ressurreição, aproximaram-se dele. Eles lhe perguntaram: "Mestre, Moisés nos escreveu que, se o irmão de um homem morrer tendo esposa, e não tiver filhos, seu irmão deve casar-se com a esposa e suscitar descendência para seu irmão. Havia, portanto, sete irmãos. O primeiro casou-se e morreu sem filhos. O segundo casou-se com ela, e morreu sem filhos. O terceiro casou-se com ela, e da mesma forma todos os sete não deixaram filhos, e morreram. Depois, a mulher também morreu. Portanto, na ressurreição, de qual deles ela será esposa? Pois os sete a tiveram como esposa." Jesus lhes disse: "Os filhos desta era casam-se e são dados em casamento. Mas aqueles que são considerados dignos de alcançar aquela era e a ressurreição dentre os mortos não se casam nem são dados em casamento. Pois eles não podem mais morrer, porque são como os anjos e são filhos de Deus, sendo filhos da ressurreição. Mas que os mortos ressuscitam, até Moisés mostrou no episódio da sarça, quando chamou ao Senhor 'O Deus de Abraão, o Deus de Isaque e o Deus de Jacó.' Ora, ele não é Deus de mortos, mas de vivos, pois para ele todos vivem." Alguns dos escribas responderam: "Mestre, falaste bem." Eles não ousaram fazer-lhe mais nenhuma pergunta.
