Lezing

 

Jesaja 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, and Israel, my elect, I have even called you by your name. I have taken you up, and you have not known me.

45:5I am the Lord, and there is no one else. There is no god beside me. I girded you, and you have not known me.

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. I am the Lord, and there is no other.

 

Second Reading

 

First Thessalonians 1: 1-5

 

1:1Paulus en Sylvanus en Timoteüs, naar de kerk van de Thessalonicenzen, in God de Vader en de Heer Jezus Christus.

1:2Genade en vrede voor jou. We danken God altijd voor jullie allemaal, de herinnering aan jou houden in onze gebeden zonder ophouden,

1:3herinnerend aan uw geloofswerk, en ontberingen, en liefdadigheid, en blijvende hoop, in onze Heer Jezus Christus, voor God onze Vader.

1:4Want we weten het, broers, geliefd bij God, van uw verkiezing.

1:5Want ons evangelie is niet alleen in woorden onder u geweest, maar ook in deugd, en in de Heilige Geest, en met een grote volheid, op dezelfde manier als u weet, hebben wij onder u gehandeld ter wille van u.

 

Evangelie

 

Mattheüs 22: 15-21

 

2:15 Then the Pharisees, uitgaan, took counsel as to how they might entrap him in speech.

22:16 And they sent their disciples to him, with the Herodians, gezegde: "Docent, 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 Daarom, tell us, how does it seem to you? Is it lawful to pay the census tax to Caesar, or not?”

22:18 Maar Jezus, knowing their wickedness, gezegd: “Why do you test me, you hypocrites?

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

22:20 En Jezus zei tegen hen, “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.”
