Mt 12:46-50

Stretching out his hands toward his disciples, he said, Here are my mother and my brothers.

✠ A reading from the holy Gospel according to Matthew

While Jesus was speaking to the crowds, his mother and his brothers appeared outside, wishing to speak with him. Someone told him, “Your mother and your brothers are standing outside, asking to speak with you.”

But he said in reply to the one who told him, “Who is my mother? Who are my brothers?” And stretching out his hand toward his disciples, he said, “Here are my mother and my brothers.

For whoever does the will of my heavenly Father is my brother, and sister, and mother.”

The Gospel of the Lord.

Lk 19:11-28

Why did you not put my money in a bank?

✠ A reading from the holy Gospel according to Luke

While people were listening to Jesus speak, he proceeded to tell a parable because he was near Jerusalem and they thought that the Kingdom of God
would appear there immediately.

So he said, “A nobleman went off to a distant country
to obtain the kingship for himself and then to return.
He called ten of his servants and gave them ten gold coins and told them, ‘Engage in trade with these until I return.’

His fellow citizens, however, despised him and sent a delegation after him to announce, ‘We do not want this man to be our king.’

But when he returned after obtaining the kingship, he had the servants called, to whom he had given the money, to learn what they had gained by trading.

The first came forward and said, ‘Sir, your gold coin has earned ten additional ones.’ He replied, ‘Well done, good servant! You have been faithful in this very small matter; take charge of ten cities.’ Then the second came and reported, ‘Your gold coin, sir, has earned five more.’ And to this servant too he said, ‘You, take charge of five cities.’

Then the other servant came and said, ‘Sir, here is your gold coin; I kept it stored away in a handkerchief, for I was afraid of you, because you are a demanding man; you take up what you did not lay down and you harvest what you did not plant.’

He said to him, ‘With your own words I shall condemn you, you wicked servant. You knew I was a demanding man, taking up what I did not lay down and harvesting what I did not plant; why did you not put my money in a bank? Then on my return I would have collected it with interest.’ And to those standing by he said, ‘Take the gold coin from him and give it to the servant who has ten.’

But they said to him, ‘Sir, he has ten gold coins.’
He replied, ‘I tell you, to everyone who has, more will be given, but from the one who has not, even what he has will be taken away. Now as for those enemies of mine who did not want me as their king, bring them here and slay them before me.’”

After he had said this, he proceeded on his journey up to Jerusalem.

Ang Mabuting Balita ng Panginoon ayon kay San Mateo

Noong panahong iyon, sinabi ni Hesus sa mga tao, “Sa ano ko nga ihahambing ang mga tao ngayon? Katulad sila ng mga batang nakaupo sa plasa at sumisigaw sa kanilang mga kalaro, ‘Tinugtugan namin kayo ng plauta, ngunit hindi kayo sumayaw! Nanambitan kami, ngunit hindi kayo tumangis!’ Sapagkat naparito si Juan na nag-aayuno at di umiinom ng alak, at sinasabi nila, ‘Inaalihan siya ng demonyo!’ Naparito rin ang Anak ng Tao, na kumakain at umiinom, at sinasabi naman nila, ‘Masdan ninyo ang taong ito! Matakaw at naglalasing, kaibigan ng mga publikano at mga makasalanan!’ Gayunman, ang karunungan ng Diyos ay napatutunayang tama sa pamamagitan ng kanyang mga gawa.”

Ang Mabuting Balita ng Panginoon.

Ang Mabuting Balita ng Panginoon ayon kay San Mateo

Mateo 11, 11-15

Noong panahong iyon, sinabi ni Hesus sa mga tao: “Sinasabi ko sa inyo: sa mga isinilang, walang lumilitaw na higit na dakila kay Juan Bautista; ngunit ang pinakaaba sa mga taong pinaghaharian ng Diyos ay dakila kaysa kanya. Mula nang mangaral si Juan Bautista hanggang ngayon, ang kaharian ng Diyos ay nagdaranas ng karahasan at inaagaw ng mararahas. Sapagkat ang mga propeta at Kautusan ay nagpahayag tungkol sa paghahari ng Diyos hanggang sa dumating si Juan. Kung maniniwala kayo, siya ang Elias na darating. Ang may pandinig ay makinig!”

Ang Mabuting Balita ng Panginoon.
