神父講道 – 將臨期第三週 (週四) (2010年12月16日)

恭讀聖路加福音 7:24-30
若翰派來的人走後,耶穌就向眾人論若翰說:「你們到曠野裏去,是為看什麼?是隨風搖動的一支蘆葦嗎?你們出去,究竟看到什麼?是一個穿著細軟的人嗎?看!那衣著華麗、生活奢侈的人是在王宮裏的。但你們出去究竟看見什麼?一個先知嗎?我對你們說,正是的,而且還勝過先知!這就是經上指著的那位:『看!我派遣我的使者在你面前,為你預備道路。』我告訴你們,婦女所生的,沒有一個比若翰更大的;但是,天主國中最小的一個比他還大。」民眾和稅吏聽了若翰的話,都承認天主的聖善公義,受了若翰的洗禮。但法利塞人和經師們自己,不受苦翰的洗禮,天主對他們的計畫落空。
—基督的福音。

(3rd Week of Advent – Thursday)

A Reading from the Holy Gospel according to Luke 7:24-30

24 When the messengers of John had gone, he began to speak to the crowds concerning John: “What did you go out into the wilderness to behold? A reed shaken by the wind? 25 What then did you go out to see? A man clothed in soft raiment? Behold, those who are gorgeously appareled and live in luxury are in kings’ courts. 26 What then did you go out to see? A prophet? Yes, I tell you, and more than a prophet. 27 This is he of whom it is written, `Behold, I send my messenger before thy face, who shall prepare thy way before thee.’ 28 I tell you, among those born of women none is greater than John; yet he who is least in the kingdom of God is greater than he.” 29 (When they heard this all the people and the tax collectors justified God, having been baptized with the baptism of John; 30 but the Pharisees and the lawyers rejected the purpose of God for themselves, not having been baptized by him.)

—The Gospel of the Lord.
