Sonntag, 3. Dezember 2023 – I. Advent

+ Aus dem Matthäusevangelium (13, 33 – 37) Damals sagte Jesus zu seinen Jüngern: „Sei vorsichtig, pass auf, denn du weißt nicht, wann es soweit ist.“ Es ist wie mit einem Mann, der gegangen ist, nachdem er sein Zuhause verlassen und seinen Dienern Macht gegeben hat, jedem seine eigenen Aufgaben, und dem Türhüter befohlen hat, Wache zu halten. Passt also auf: Ihr wisst nicht, wann der Hausherr zurückkommt, ob abends oder um Mitternacht, oder beim Hahnenschrei oder morgens; Stellen Sie sicher, dass er Sie nicht schlafend vorfindet, wenn er unerwartet eintrifft. Was ich euch sage, das sage ich allen: Passt auf! Wort des Herrn

+ From the Gospel according to Matthew (13, 33 – 37) At that time, Jesus said to his disciples: «Be careful, keep watch, because you don’t know when the time is. It is like a man, who has departed after having left his house and given power to his servants, to each of him his task, and ordered the doorkeeper to keep watch. Watch therefore: you do not know when the master of the house will return, whether in the evening or at midnight or at cockcrow or in the morning; Make sure that when he arrives unexpectedly, he doesn’t find you asleep. What I say to you, I say to everyone: keep watch! Word of the…

+ Dal Vangelo secondo Matteo (13, 33 – 37) In quel tempo, Gesù disse ai suoi discepoli: «Fate attenzione, vegliate, perché non sapete quando è il momento. È come un uomo, che è partito dopo aver lasciato la propria casa e dato il potere ai suoi servi, a ciascuno il suo compito, e ha ordinato al portiere di vegliare. Vegliate dunque: voi non sapete quando il padrone di casa ritornerà, se alla sera o a mezzanotte o al canto del gallo o al mattino; fate in modo che, giungendo all’improvviso, non vi trovi addormentati. Quello che dico a voi, lo dico a tutti: vegliate!». Parola del Signore

Dann wird der König zu denen zu seiner Rechten sagen: „Kommt, ihr Gesegneten meines Vaters, erbt das Königreich, das euch seit der Erschaffung der Welt bereitet wurde, denn ich war hungrig und ihr habt mir Nahrung gegeben, ich war durstig und ihr auch.“ hast mir gegeben,…

To one he gave five talents, to another two, to another one, according to each one’s ability; then he left. Immediately he who had received five talents went to employ them, and he earned five more.

After a long time the master of those…
