恭讀聖路加福音 5: 17-26
有一天，耶穌正在施教，幾個法利塞人和法學士也在座。他們是從加里肋亞和猶太各鄉村及耶路撒冷來的；上主的德能催迫耶穌治病。看，有人用床抬來一個患癱瘓症的人，設法把他抬進去，放在耶穌跟前。但因人眾多，不得其門而入。遂上了房頂，從瓦中間，把他連那小床繫到中間，正放在耶穌面前。耶穌一見他們的信心，就說：「人啊！你的罪赦了。」經師和法利塞人開始忖度說：「這人是誰？竟說褻瀆話？除了天主一個外，誰能赦罪？」耶穌看透了他們的心思，就向他們說：「你們心裏忖度什麽呢？什麼比較容易？是說：你的罪赦了，或是說：起來行走吧！但爲叫你們知道人子在地上有權赦罪。」——便對癱子說：「我給你說：起來，拿起你的小床，回家去吧！」那人立刻在他們面前站了起來，拿著他躺過的小床，讚頌著天主，回家去了。眾人十分驚奇，並光榮天主，滿懷恐懼說：「今天我們看見了出奇的事。」

A Reading from the Holy Gospel according to Luke 5:17-26
17 On one of those days, as he was teaching, there were Pharisees and teachers of the law sitting by, who had come from every village of Galilee and Judea and from Jerusalem; and the power of the Lord was with him to heal. 18 And behold, men were bringing on a bed a man who was paralyzed, and they sought to bring him in and lay him before Jesus; 19 but finding no way to bring him in, because of the crowd, they went up on the roof and let him down with his bed through the tiles into the midst before Jesus. 20 And when he saw their faith he said, “Man, your sins are forgiven you.” 21 And the scribes and the Pharisees began to question, saying, “Who is this that speaks blasphemies? Who can forgive sins but God only?” 22 When Jesus perceived their questionings, he answered them, “Why do you question in your hearts? 23 Which is easier, to say, ‘Your sins are forgiven you,’ or to say, ‘Rise and walk?’ 24 But that you may know that the Son of man has authority on earth to forgive sins” –he said to the man who was paralyzed– “I say to you, rise, take up your bed and go home.” 25 And immediately he rose before them, and took up that on which he lay, and went home, glorifying God. 26 And amazement seized them all, and they glorified God and were filled with awe, saying, “We have seen strange things today.”
