主日講道 – 常年期第三十三主日 (2013年11月17日)

恭讀聖路加福音 21:5-19

那時候,有些人正談論聖殿是用美麗的石頭,及還願的獻禮裝飾的;耶穌說:「你們所看見的這一切,當那日子一到,便沒有一塊石頭,留在另一塊石頭上,而不被拆毀的。」
門徒於是問:「師父,那麼,什麼時候要發生這些事?這些事要發生的時候,將有什麼先兆?」
耶穌說:「你們要謹慎,不要受欺騙!因為將有許多人,假冒我的名字而來,說:我就是(默西亞);又說:時期近了。你們切不可跟隨他們。你們幾時聽見戰爭及叛亂,不要驚惶!因為,這些事必須先要發生,但還不即刻是結局。」
耶穌於是又給門徒說:「民族要起來攻擊民族,國家攻擊國家;將有大地震,到處有飢荒及瘟疫;將出現可怖的異象,天上要有巨大的凶兆。
「但是,這一切事以前,你們為了我的名字,要被拘捕和迫害;人們要把你們解送到會堂,並關進監獄;且押送到君王及總督之前,為給你們一個作見證的機會。
「所以,你們心中要鎮定,不要事先考慮申辯,因為我要給你們口才和明智,是你們一切仇敵,所不能抵抗及辯駁的。
「你們要被父母、兄弟、親戚及朋友出賣;你們中有一些,要被殺死。你們要為我的名字,受眾人憎恨;但是,連你們的一根頭髮,也不會失落。你們要憑著堅忍,保全你們的靈魂。」

A Reading from the Holy Gospel according to Luke 21:5-19

5 And as some spoke of the temple, how it was adorned with noble stones and offerings, he said, 6 “As for these things which you see, the days will come when there shall not be left here one stone upon another that will not be thrown down.” 7 And they asked him, “Teacher, when will this be, and what will be the sign when this is about to take place?” 8 And he said, “Take heed that you are not led astray; for many will come in my name, saying, `I am he!’ and, `The time is at hand!’ Do not go after them. 9 And when you hear of wars and tumults, do not be terrified; for this must first take place, but the end will not be at once.” 10 Then he said to them, “Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom; 11 there will be great earthquakes, and in various places famines and pestilences; and there will be terrors and great signs from heaven.
12 But before all this they will lay their hands on you and persecute you, delivering you up to the synagogues and prisons, and you will be brought before kings and governors for my name’s sake. 13 This will be a time for you to bear testimony. 14 Settle it therefore in your minds, not to meditate beforehand how to answer; 15 for I will give you a mouth and wisdom, which none of your adversaries will be able to withstand or contradict. 16 You will be delivered up even by parents and brothers and kinsmen and friends, and some of you they will put to death; 17 you will be hated by all for my name’s sake. 18 But not a hair of your head will perish.19 By your endurance you will gain your lives.
