恭讀聖路加福音 9:18-24
有一天,耶穌獨自祈禱,門徒同他在一起。他問他們說:「眾人說我是誰?」他們回答說:「有人說是洗者若翰;有人卻說是厄里亞;還有人說是古時的一位先知復活了。」他問他們說:「但你們說我是誰呢?」伯多祿回答說:「天主的受傅者。」但耶穌嚴厲囑咐他們,不要把這事告訴人,說:「人子必須受許多苦,被長老、司祭長和經師們棄絕,並且要被殺;但第三天必要復活。」
他又對眾人說:「誰若願意跟隨我,該棄絕自己,天天背著自己的十字架跟隨我。因為誰若願意救自己的性命,必要喪失性命;但誰若為我的原故喪失自己的性命,這人必能救得性命。」

A Reading from the Holy Gospel according to Luke 9:18-24

18 Now it happened that as he was praying alone the disciples were with him; and he asked them, “Who do the people say that I am?” 19 And they answered, “John the Baptist; but others say, Eli’jah; and others, that one of the old prophets has risen.” 20 And he said to them, “But who do you say that I am?” And Peter answered, “The Christ of God.” 21 But he charged and commanded them to tell this to no one, 22 saying, “The Son of man must suffer many things, and be rejected by the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be killed, and on the third day be raised.” 23 And he said to all, “If any man would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross daily and follow me. 24 For whoever would save his life will lose it; and whoever loses his life for my sake, he will save it.
