恭讀聖路加福音 15:1-7

眾稅吏及罪人們都來接近耶穌,為聽他講道。法利塞人及經師們竊竊私議說:「這個人交接罪人,又同他們吃飯。 」耶穌遂對他們設了這個比喻說:「你們中間有那個人有一百隻羊,遺失了其中的一隻,而不把這九十九隻丟在荒野,去尋覓那遺失的一隻,直到找著呢﹖待找著了,就喜歡的把牠放在自己的肩膀上,來到家中,請他的友好及鄰人來,給他們說:你們與我同樂罷! 因為我那隻遺失了的羊,又找到了。我告訴你們:同樣,對於一個罪人悔改,在天上所有的歡樂,甚於對那九十九個無須悔改的義人。」

A Reading from the Holy Gospel according to Luke 15:1-7

1 Now the tax collectors and sinners were all drawing near to hear him.2 And the Pharisees and the scribes murmured, saying, “This man receives sinners and eats with them.” 3 So he told them this parable: 4 “What man of you, having a hundred sheep, if he has lost one of them, does not leave the ninety-nine in the wilderness, and go after the one which is lost, until he finds it? 5 And when he has found it, he lays it on his shoulders, rejoicing. 6 And when he comes home, he calls together his friends and his neighbors, saying to them, `Rejoice with me, for I have found my sheep which was lost.’ 7 Just so, I tell you, there will be more joy in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine righteous persons who need no repentance.
