恭讀聖若望福音 8:21-30
那時,耶穌向法利塞人說:「我去了,你們要尋找我,你們必要死在你們的罪惡中;我所去的地方,你們不能去。」猶太人便說:「他說:我所去的地方,你們不能去;莫非他要自殺嗎?」耶穌向他們說:「你們是出於下,我卻是出於上;你們是出於這個世界,我卻不是出於這個世界。因此,我對你們說過:你們要死在你們的罪惡中。的確,你們若不相信我就是那一位,你們必要死在你們的罪惡中。」於是,他們問耶穌說:「你到底是誰?」耶穌回答他們說:「難道從起初我沒有對你們講論過嗎?對你們我有許多事要說,要譴責;但是派遣我來者是真實的;我由他聽來的,我就講給世界聽。」他們不明白他是在給他們講論父。耶穌遂說:「當你們高舉了人子以後,就們便知道我就是那一位。我由我自己不作什麼;我所講論的,都是依照父所教訓我的。派遣我來者與我在一起,他沒有留下我獨自一個,因為我常作他所喜悅的事。」當耶穌講論這些話時,許多人便信了他。

A Reading from the Holy Gospel according to John 8:21-30

21 Again he said to them, “I go away, and you will seek me and die in your sin; where I am going, you cannot come.” 22 Then said the Jews, “Will he kill himself, since he says, `Where I am going, you cannot come’?” 23 He said to them, “You are from below, I am from above; you are of this world, I am not of this world. 24 I told you that you would die in your sins, for you will die in your sins unless you believe that I am he.” 25 They said to him, “Who are you?” Jesus said to them, “Even what I have told you from the beginning. 26 I have much to say about you and much to judge; but he who sent me is true, and I declare to the world what I have heard from him.” 27 They did not understand that he spoke to them of the Father. 28 So Jesus said, “When you have lifted up the Son of man, then you will know that I am he, and that I do nothing on my own authority but speak thus as the Father taught me. 29 And he who sent me is with me; he has not left me alone, for I always do what is pleasing to him.” 30 As he spoke thus, many believed in him.
