The Bible – Old Testament Psalms Chapter 112 1 1 Hallelujah! 2 Happy are those who fear the LORD, who greatly delight in God’s commands. 2 Their descendants shall be mighty in the land, generation upright and blessed. 3 3 Wealth and riches shall be in their homes; their prosperity shall endure forever. 4 They shine through the darkness, a light for the upright; they are gracious, merciful, and just. 5 All goes well for those gracious in lending, who conduct their affairs with justice. 6… Seguir leyendo Psalms – Chapter 112

Psalms
Chapter 97
1
1 The LORD is king; let the earth rejoice; let the many islands be glad.
2
Cloud and darkness surround the Lord; justice and right are the foundation of his throne.
3
Fire goes before him; everywhere it consumes the foes.
4
Lightning illumines the world; the earth sees and trembles.
5
The mountains melt like wax before the LORD, before the Lord of all the earth.
6
The heavens proclaim God’s justice; all peoples see his glory.
7
2 All who serve idols are put to shame, who glory in worthless things; all gods bow down before you.
8
Zion hears and is glad, and the cities of Judah rejoice because of your judgments, O LORD.
9
You, LORD, are the Most High over all the earth, exalted far above all gods.
10
The LORD loves those who hate evil, protects the lives of the faithful, rescues them from the hand of the wicked.
11
Light dawns for the just; gladness, for the honest of heart.
12
Rejoice in the LORD, you just, and praise his holy name.
1 [Psalm 97] The hymn begins with God appearing in a storm, a traditional picture of some ancient Near Eastern gods (⇒ Psalm 97:1-6); cf ⇒ Psalm 18:8-16; ⇒ Micah 1:3-4; ⇒ Hebrews 3:3-15. Israel rejoices in the overthrowing of idol worshipers and their gods (⇒ Psalm 97:7-9) and the rewarding of the faithful righteous (⇒ Psalm 97:10-12).
2 [7] All gods: divine beings thoroughly subordinate to Israel’s God. The Greek translates «angels,» an interpretation adopted by ⇒ Hebrews 1

Chapter 17
1
He said to his disciples, «Things that cause sin will inevitably occur, but woe to the person through whom they occur.
2
It would be better for him if a millstone were put around his neck and he be thrown into the sea than for him to cause one of these little ones to sin.
3
Be on your guard! 1 If your brother sins, rebuke him; and if he repents, forgive him.
4
And if he wrongs you seven times in one day and returns to you seven times saying, ‘I am sorry,’ you should forgive him.»
5
And the apostles said to the Lord, «Increase our faith.»
6
The Lord replied, «If you have faith the size of a mustard seed, you would say to (this) mulberry tree, ‘Be uprooted and planted in the sea,’ and it would obey you.
7
2 «Who among you would say to your servant who has just come in from plowing or tending sheep in the field, ‘Come here immediately and take your place at table’?
8
Would he not rather say to him, ‘Prepare something for me to eat. Put on your apron and wait on me while I eat and drink. You may eat and drink when I am finished’?
9
Is he grateful to that servant because he did what was commanded?
10
So should it be with you. When you have done all you have been commanded, say, ‘We are unprofitable servants; we have done what we were obliged to do.'»
11
3 4 As he continued his journey to Jerusalem, he traveled through Samaria and Galilee.
12
As he was entering a village, ten lepers met (him). They stood at a distance from him
13
and raised their voice, saying, «Jesus, Master! Have pity on us!»
14
And when he saw them, he said, «Go show yourselves to the priests.» 5 As they were going they were cleansed.
15
And one of them, realizing he had been healed, returned, glorifying God in a loud voice;
16
and he fell at the feet of Jesus and thanked him. He was a Samaritan.
17
Jesus said in reply, «Ten were cleansed, were they not? Where are the other nine?
18
Has none but this foreigner returned to give thanks to God?»
19
Then he said to him, «Stand up and go; your faith has saved you.»
20
6 Asked by the Pharisees when the kingdom of God would come, he said in reply, «The coming of the kingdom of God cannot be observed,
21
7 and no one will announce, ‘Look, here it is,’ or, ‘There it is.’ For behold, the kingdom of God is among you.»
22
Then he said to his disciples, «The days will come when you will long to see one of the days of the Son of Man, but you will not see it.
23
There will be those who will say to you, ‘Look, there he is,’ (or) ‘Look, here he is.’ Do not go off, do not run in pursuit.
24
For just as lightning flashes and lights up the sky from one side to the other, so will the Son of Man be (in his day).
25
But first he must suffer greatly and be rejected by this generation.
26
As it was in the days of Noah, so it will be in the days of the Son of Man;
27
they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage up to the day that Noah entered the ark, and the flood came and destroyed them all.
28
Similarly, as it was in the days of Lot: they were eating, drinking, buying, selling, planting, building;
29
on the day when Lot left Sodom, fire and brimstone rained from the sky to destroy them all.
30
So it will be on the day the Son of Man is revealed.
31
On that day, a person who is on the housetop and whose belongings are in the house must not go down to get them, and likewise a person in the field must not return to what was left behind.
32
Remember the wife of Lot.
33
Whoever seeks to preserve his life will lose it, but whoever loses it will save it.
34
I tell you, on that night there will be two people in one bed; one will be taken, the other left.
35
And there will be two women grinding meal together; one will be taken, the other left.»
36

37
They said to him in reply, «Where, Lord?» He said to them, «Where the body is, there also the vultures will gather.»
1 [3] Be on your guard: the translation takes ⇒ Luke 17:3a as the conclusion to the saying on scandal in ⇒ Luke 17:1-2. It is not impossible that it should be taken as the beginning of the saying on forgiveness in ⇒ Luke 17:3b-4.
2 [7-10] These sayings of Jesus, peculiar to Luke, which continue his response to the apostles’ request to increase their faith (⇒ Luke 17:5-6), remind them that Christian disciples can make no claim on God’s graciousness; in fulfilling the exacting demands of discipleship, they are only doing their duty.
3 [11-19] This incident recounting the thankfulness of the cleansed Samaritan leper is narrated only in Luke’s gospel and provides an instance of Jesus holding up a non-Jew (⇒ Luke 17:18) as an example to his Jewish contemporaries (cf ⇒ Luke 10:33 where a similar purpose is achieved in the story of the good Samaritan). Moreover, it is the faith in Jesus manifested by the foreigner that has brought him salvation (⇒ Luke 17:19; cf the similar relationship between faith and salvation in ⇒ Luke 7:50; ⇒ 8:48, ⇒ 50).
4 [11] Through Samaria and Galilee: or, «between Samaria and Galilee.»
5 [14] See the note on ⇒ Luke 5:14.
6 [20-37] To the question of the Pharisees about the time of the coming of God’s kingdom, Jesus replies that the kingdom is among you (⇒ Luke 17:20-21). The emphasis has thus been shifted from an imminent observable coming of the kingdom to something that is already present in Jesus’ preaching and healing ministry. Luke has also appended further traditional sayings of Jesus about the unpredictable suddenness of the day of the Son of Man, and assures his readers that in spite of the delay of that day (⇒ Luke 12:45), it will bring judgment unexpectedly on those who do not continue to be vigilant.
7 [21] Among you: the Greek preposition translated as among can also be translated as «within.» In the light of other statements in Luke’s gospel about the presence of the kingdom (see ⇒ Luke 10:9, ⇒ 11; ⇒ 11:20) «among» is to be preferred.
8 [36] The inclusion of ⇒ Luke 17:36 «There will be two men in the field; one will be taken, the other left behind,» in some Western manuscripts appears to be a scribal assimilation to ⇒ Matthew 24:40.

Psalms
Chapter 110
1
1 A psalm of David. 2 The LORD says to you, my lord: «Take your throne at my righthand, while I make your enemies your footstool.»
2
The scepter of your sovereign might the LORD will extend from Zion. The LORD says: «Rule over your enemies!
3
3 Yours is princely power from the day of your birth. In holy splendor before the daystar, like the dew I begot you.»
4
4 The LORD has sworn and will not waver: «Like Melchizedek you are a priest forever.»
5
At your right hand is the Lord, who crushes kings on the day of wrath,
6
Who, robed in splendor, judges nations, crushes heads across the wide earth,
7
5 Who drinks from the brook by the wayside and thus holds high the head.
1 [Psalm 110] A royal psalm in which a court singer recites three oracles in which God assures the king that his enemies are conquered (⇒ Psalm 110:1-2), makes the king «son» in traditional adoption language (⇒ Psalm 110:3), gives priestly status to the king and promises to be with him in future military ventures (⇒ Psalm 110:4-7).
2 [1] The LORD says to you, my lord: literally, «The LORD says to my lord,» a polite form of address of an inferior to a superior. Cf ⇒ 1 Sam 25:25; ⇒ 2 Sam 1:10. The court singer refers to the king. Jesus in the synoptic gospels (⇒ Matthew 22:41-46 and parallels) takes the psalmist to be David and hence «my lord» refers to the messiah, who must be someone greater than David. Your footstool: in ancient times victorious kings put their feet on the prostrate bodies of their enemies.
3 [3] Like the dew I begot you: an adoption formula as in ⇒ Psalm 2:7; ⇒ 89:27-28. Before the daystar: possibly an expression for before the world began (⇒ Proverb 8:22).
4 [4] Like Melchizedek: Melchizedek was the ancient king of Salem (Jerusalem) who blessed Abraham (⇒ Genesis 14:18-20); like other kings of the time he performed priestly functions. Hebrews 7 sees in Melchizedek a type of Christ.
5 [7] Who drinks from the brook by the wayside: the meaning is uncertain. Some see an allusion to a rite of royal consecration at the Gihon spring (cf ⇒ 1 Kings 1:33, ⇒ 38). Others find here an image of the divine warrior (or king) pursuing enemies so relentlessly that he does not stop long enough to eat and drink.

LECTURA DEL DÍA
Lectura del libro del Eclesiastés
Eclesiastés (Cohélet) 11, 9–12, 8
.
Alégrate, joven, durante tu juventud,
disfruta de corazón tus años jóvenes.
Sigue el camino que te indique el corazón
y lo que deleita a tus ojos.
Pero no olvides que de todo ello Dios te pedirá cuentas.
Aleja de tu corazón la tristeza
y de tu cuerpo el sufrimiento;
pero recuerda que los placeres de la juventud
son cosas que se acaban.
Acuérdate de tu Creador en tus años jóvenes,
antes de que vengan los días amargos
y se te echen encima los años en que dirás:
“No hallo gusto en nada”.
Antes de que se nuble la luz del sol,
la luna y las estrellas,
y retornen las nubes tras la lluvia.
Cuando tiemblen los guardias de la casa
y se dobleguen los valientes.
Cuando las que muelen sean pocas y dejen de trabajar
y las que miran por las ventanas se queden ciegas.
Cuando las puertas de la calle se cierren
y se apague el ruido del molino.
Cuando enmudezca el canto de las aves
y cesen todas las canciones.
Cuando den miedo las alturas
y los peligros del camino.
Cuando florezca el almendro
y se arrastre la langosta
y no dé gusto la alcaparra,
porque el hombre se va a su eterna morada
y circulan por la calle los dolientes.
Antes de que se rompa el cordón de plata,
antes de que se quiebre la lámpara de oro,
antes de que se haga añicos el cántaro junto a la fuente,
antes de que se caiga la polea dentro del pozo,
antes de que el polvo vuelva a la tierra, a lo que era,
y el espíritu vuelva a Dios, que es quien lo ha dado.
Todas las cosas, absolutamente todas,
dice Cohélet, son vana ilusión.

EVANGELIO DEL DÍA
Lectura del santo evangelio según san Lucas
Lc 9, 43-45
.
En aquel tiempo, como todos comentaban, admirados, los prodigios que Jesús hacía, éste dijo a sus discípulos: “Presten mucha atención a lo que les voy a decir: El Hijo del hombre va a ser entregado en manos de los hombres”.
Pero ellos no entendieron estas palabras, pues un velo les ocultaba su sentido y se las volvía incomprensibles. Y tenían miedo de preguntarle acerca de este asunto.
