恭讀聖若望福音 7:40-53
那時候，群眾中有些人聽了耶穌的話，便說：「這人真是那位先知。」另有些人說：「這人是默西亞。」但也有人說：「難道默西亞能來自加里肋亞嗎？經上不是說：默西亞要出自達味的後裔，來自達味出生的村莊白冷嗎？」因此，為了耶穌的緣故，在群眾中起了紛爭。他們中有些人願捉拿他，但誰也沒有向他下手。差役回到司祭長和法利塞人那裏；司祭長和法利塞人問他們說：「為什麼你們沒有把他帶來？」差役回答說：「從來沒有一個人如此講話，像這人講話一樣。」法利塞人遂向他們說：「難道你們也受了煽惑嗎？首長中或法利塞人中，難道有人信仰了他嗎？但是，這些不明白法律的群眾，是可詛咒的！」他們中有一個，即先前曾來到耶穌那裏的尼苛德摩，遂向他們說：「如果不先聽取人的口供，和查明他所作的事，難道我們的法律就許定他的罪麼？」他們回答他說：「難道你也是出自加里肋亞麼？你去查考，你就能知道：從加里肋亞不會出先知的。」然後，他們就各自回家去了。

A Reading from the Holy Gospel according to John 7:40-53

40 When they heard these words, some of the people said, “This is really the prophet.” 41 Others said, “This is the Christ.” But some said, “Is the Christ to come from Galilee? 42 Has not the scripture said that the Christ is descended from David, and comes from Bethlehem, the village where David was?” 43 So there was a division among the people over him. 44 Some of them wanted to arrest him, but no one laid hands on him. 45 The officers then went back to the chief priests and Pharisees, who said to them, “Why did you not bring him?” 46 The officers answered, “No man ever spoke like this man!” 47 The Pharisees answered them, “Are you led astray, you also? 48 Have any of the authorities or of the Pharisees believed in him? 49 But this crowd, who do not know the law, are accursed.” 50 Nicode’mus, who had gone to him before, and who was one of them, said to them, 51 “Does our law judge a man without first giving him a hearing and learning what he does?” 52 They replied, “Are you from Galilee too? Search and you will see that no prophet is to rise from Galilee.” 53 They went each to his own house.

神父講道 – 四旬期第四週 (週四) (2011年4月7日)

聖若翰．薩樂（若翰喇沙）
恭讀聖若望福音 5:31-47
那時，耶穌對猶太人說：「如果我為我自己作證，我的證據不足憑信；但另有一位為我作證，我知道他為我作的證足以憑信。你們曾派人到若翰那裏去，他就為真理作過證。其實我並不需要人的證據，我提及這事，只是為叫你們得救。若翰好比是一盞點著而發亮的燈，你們只一時高興享受他的光明。但我有比若翰更大的證據，即父所托付我要我完成的工程，就是我所行的這些工程，為我作證；證明是父派遣了我。派遣我來的父，親自為我作證；你們從未聽見過他的聲音，也從未看見過他的儀容，並且你們也沒有把他的話存留在心中，因為你們不相信他所派遣的那位。你們查考經典，因你們認為其中有永生，正是這些經典為我作證；但你們不願意到我這裏來，為獲得生命。
「我不求人的光榮；而且我認得你們，知道在你們內沒有天主的愛情。我因我父的名而來，你們卻不接納我；如果有人因自己的名而來，你們反而接納他。你們既然彼此尋求光榮，而不尋求出於唯一天主的光榮，你們怎麼能相信我呢？不要想我要在父面前控告你們；有一位控告你們的，就是你們所寄望的梅瑟。若是你們相信梅瑟，必會相信我，因為他是指著我而寫的。如果你們不相信他所寫的，怎麼會相信我的話呢？」
—基督的福音。

(4th week of Lent – Thursday)

A Reading from the Holy Gospel according to John 5:31-47

31 If I bear witness to myself, my testimony is not true; 32 there is another who bears witness to me, and I know that the testimony which he bears to me is true. 33 You sent to John, and he has borne witness to the truth. 34 Not that the testimony which I receive is from man; but I say this that you may be saved. 35 He was a burning and shining lamp, and you were willing to rejoice for a while in his light. 36 But the testimony which I have is greater than that of John; for the works which the Father has granted me to accomplish, these very works which I am doing, bear me witness that the Father has sent me. 37 And the Father who sent me has himself borne witness to me. His voice you have never heard, his form you have never seen; 38 and you do not have his word abiding in you, for you do not believe him whom he has sent. 39 You search the scriptures, because you think that in them you have eternal life; and it is they that bear witness to me; 40 yet you refuse to come to me that you may have life. 41 I do not receive glory from men. 42 But I know that you have not the love of God within you. 43 I have come in my Father’s name, and you do not receive me; if another comes in his own name, him you will receive. 44 How can you believe, who receive glory from one another and do not seek the glory that comes from the only God? 45 Do not think that I shall accuse you to the Father; it is Moses who accuses you, on whom you set your hope. 46 If you believed Moses, you would believe me, for he wrote of me. 47 But if you do not believe his writings, how will you believe my words?”

—The Gospel of the Lord.

神父講道 – 四旬期第四週 (週三) (2011年4月6日)

恭讀聖若望福音 5:17-30
那時候，耶穌向猶太人說：「我父到現在一直工作，我也應該工作。」為此猶太人越發想要殺害他，因為他不但犯了安息日，而且又稱天主是自己的父，使自己與天主平等。
耶穌於是回答他們說：「我實實在在告訴你們：子不能由自己作什麼，他看見父作什麼，才能作什麼；凡父所作的，子也照樣作，因為父愛子，凡自己所作的都指示給他；並且還要把比這些更大的工程指示給他，為叫你們驚奇。如如父喚起死者，使他們復生，照樣子也使他所願意的人復生。父不審判任何人，但他把審判的全權交給了子，為叫眾人尊敬子如同尊敬父；不尊敬子的，就是不尊敬派遣他來的父。我實實在在告訴你們：聽我的話，相信派遣我來者的，便有永生，不受審判，而已出死入生。我實實在在告訴你們：時候要到，且現在就是，死者要聽見天主子的聲音，凡聽從的，就必生存。就如父是生命之源，樣樣他也使子成為生命之源；並且賜給他行審判的權柄，因為他是人子。你們不要驚奇這事，因為時候要到，那時，凡在墳墓裏的，都要聽見他的聲音，而出來；行過善的，復活進入生命；作過惡的，復活而受審判。我由自己什麼也不能作；父怎樣告訴我，我就怎樣審判，所以我的審判是正義的，因為我不尋求我的旨意，而只尋求派遣我來者的旨意。」
—基督的福音。

(4th week of Lent – Wednesday)

A Reading from the Holy Gospel according to John 5:17-30

17 But Jesus answered them, “My Father is working still, and I am working.” 18 This was why the Jews sought all the more to kill him, because he not only broke the Sabbath but also called God his Father, making himself equal with God. 19 Jesus said to them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, the Son can do nothing of his own accord, but only what he sees the Father doing; for whatever he does, that the Son does likewise. 20 For the Father loves the Son, and shows him all that he himself is doing; and greater works than these will he show him, that you may marvel. 21 For as the Father raises the dead and gives them life, so also the Son gives life to whom he will. 22 The Father judges no one, but has given all judgment to the Son, 23 that all may honor the Son, even as they honor the Father. He who does not honor the Son does not honor the Father who sent him. 24 Truly, truly, I say to you, he who hears my word and believes him who sent me, has eternal life; he does not come into judgment, but has passed from death to life. 25 “Truly, truly, I say to you, the hour is coming, and now is, when the dead will hear the voice of the Son of God, and those who hear will live. 26 For as the Father has life in himself, so he has granted the Son also to have life in himself, 27 and has given him authority to execute judgment, because he is the Son of man. 28 Do not marvel at this; for the hour is coming when all who are in the tombs will hear his voice 29 and come forth, those who have done good, to the resurrection of life, and those who have done evil, to the resurrection of judgment. 30 “I can do nothing on my own authority; as I hear, I judge; and my judgment is just, because I seek not my own will but the will of him who sent me.

—The Gospel of the Lord.
