1. Première lecture 1 Maccabées 6:1-13

   ¹King 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, ²and 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. ³So 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, ⁴and they rose up against him in battle. He fled and returned to Babylon with great disappointment. ⁵Then someone came into Persia bringing him news that the armies which went against the land of Judah had been put to flight, ⁶and 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, ⁷and 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. ⁸It 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. ⁹He was there many days, because great grief continually gripped him, and he realized that he would die. ¹⁰He called for all his friends, and said to them, “Sleep departs from my eyes, and my heart fails because of worry. ¹¹I 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.’ ¹²But 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. ¹³I 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.”

2. Psaume Psaumes 9:2-3, 4, 6, 16b, 19

   ²Je louerai l’Éternel de tout mon cœur, Je raconterai toutes tes merveilles. ³Je ferai de toi le sujet de ma joie et de mon allégresse, Je chanterai ton nom, Dieu Très-Haut! ⁴Mes ennemis reculent, Ils chancellent, ils périssent devant ta face. ⁶Tu châties les nations, tu détruis le méchant, Tu effaces leur nom pour toujours et à perpétuité. ¹⁶Les nations tombent dans la fosse qu’elles ont faite, Leur pied se prend au filet qu’elles ont caché. ¹⁹Car le malheureux n’est point oublié à jamais, L’espérance des misérables ne périt pas à toujours.

4. Évangile Luc 20:27-40

   ²⁷Quelques-uns des sadducéens, qui disent qu’il n’y a point de résurrection, s’approchèrent, et posèrent à Jésus cette question: ²⁸Maître, voici ce que Moïse nous a prescrit: Si le frère de quelqu’un meurt, ayant une femme sans avoir d’enfants, son frère épousera la femme, et suscitera une postérité à son frère. ²⁹Or, il y avait sept frères. Le premier se maria, et mourut sans enfants. ³⁰Le second et le troisième épousèrent la veuve; ³¹il en fut de même des sept, qui moururent sans laisser d’enfants. ³²Enfin, la femme mourut aussi. ³³A la résurrection, duquel d’entre eux sera-t-elle donc la femme? Car les sept l’ont eue pour femme. ³⁴Jésus leur répondit: Les enfants de ce siècle prennent des femmes et des maris; ³⁵mais ceux qui seront trouvés dignes d’avoir part au siècle à venir et à la résurrection des morts ne prendront ni femmes ni maris. ³⁶Car ils ne pourront plus mourir, parce qu’ils seront semblables aux anges, et qu’ils seront fils de Dieu, étant fils de la résurrection. ³⁷Que les morts ressuscitent, c’est ce que Moïse a fait connaître quand, à propos du buisson, il appelle le Seigneur le Dieu d’Abraham, le Dieu d’Isaac, et le Dieu de Jacob. ³⁸Or, Dieu n’est pas Dieu des morts, mais des vivants; car pour lui tous sont vivants. ³⁹Quelques-uns des scribes, prenant la parole, dirent: Maître, tu as bien parlé. ⁴⁰Et ils n’osaient plus lui faire aucune question.
