恭讀聖瑪竇福音 3:13-17
那時候,耶穌由加里肋亞,來到約但河若翰那裡,為受他的洗;但若翰想要阻止他,說:「我本來需要受祢的洗,而祢卻來就我嗎?」耶穌回答他說:「你暫且容許罷!因為我們應當這樣,以完成全義。」 於是若翰就容許了祂。耶穌受洗後,立時從水裡上來,忽然天為祂開了。祂看見天主聖神有如鴿子降下,來到祂上面;又有聲音由天上說:「這是我的愛子,我所喜悅的。」

(The Feast of the Baptism of the Lord)

A Reading from the Holy Gospel according to Matthew 3:13-17

13 Then Jesus came from Galilee to the Jordan to John, to be baptized by him. 14 John would have prevented him, saying, “I need to be baptized by you, and do you come to me?” 15 But Jesus answered him, “Let it be so now; for thus it is fitting for us to fulfil all righteousness.” Then he consented. 16 And when Jesus was baptized, he went up immediately from the water, and behold, the heavens were opened and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove, and alighting on him; 17 and lo, a voice from heaven, saying, “This is my beloved Son, with whom I am well pleased.”
