First Reading: Isaiah 45:1, 4-6
Cyrus, King of Persia and friend to the Jewish people,
becomes the Lord’s anointed one, and through God’s
intervention, returns the Jews to their own country.
Second Reading: 1 Thessalonians 1:1-5b
Paul rejoices that the Thessalonians, newly converted to
Christianity, are displaying remarkable constancy in their
new-found faith.
Gospel: Matthew 22:15-21
Seeking to entrap Jesus in his speech, the hostile and
hypocritical Pharisees ask him this dangerous question,
“Is it lawful to pay tax to the emperor or not?” Realizing
their treacherous motives, Jesus asks for a Roman coin,
and pointing to the inscription of Caesar’s, he answers,
“Give to Caesar what is Caesar’s, but give to God what is
God’s.”
