En lisant

 

Isaïe 45: 1, 4-6

 

45:1Thus says the Lord to my anointed Cyrus, whose right hand I hold, so that I may subjugate the nations before his face, and I may turn the backs of kings, and I may open the doors before him, and so that the gates will not be shut

45:4For the sake of Jacob, my servant, et Israël, mon élu, I have even called you by your name. I have taken you up, et tu ne m'as pas connu.

45:5je suis le Seigneur, and there is no one else. There is no god beside me. I girded you, et tu ne m'as pas connu.

45:6So may those who are from the rising of the sun, and those who are from its setting, know that there is no one beside me. je suis le Seigneur, and there is no other.

Gospel

 

Matthieu 22: 15-21

 

2:15 Puis les pharisiens, sortir, took counsel as to how they might entrap him in speech.

22:16 And they sent their disciples to him, with the Herodians, en disant: "Professeur, we know that you are truthful, and that you teach the way of God in truth, and that the influence of others is nothing to you. For you do not consider the reputation of men.

22:17 Donc, tell us, how does it seem to you? Is it lawful to pay the census tax to Caesar, ou non?”

22:18 Mais Jésus, knowing their wickedness, a dit: “Why do you test me, vous les hypocrites?

22:19 Show me the coin of the census tax.” And they offered him a denarius.

22:20 Et Jésus leur dit, “Whose image is this, and whose inscription?”

22:21 They said to him, “Caesar’s.” Then he said to them, “Then render to Caesar what is of Caesar; and to God what is of God.”
