神父講道 – 常年期第八週 (週六) (2015年5月30日)

恭讀聖馬爾谷福音 11:27-33

那時候,耶穌和他的門徒來到耶路撒冷。當耶穌在殿裏徘徊時,司祭長、經師和長老來到他跟前,對他說:「你憑什麼權柄作這些事?或者,是誰給了你權柄作這些事?」耶穌對他們說:「我也要問你們一句話,你們回答我,我就告訴你們:我憑什麼權柄作這事。若翰的洗禮是從天上來的,還是從人來的?答覆我吧!」他們心中思量說:「若我們說:是從天上來的,他就要說:那麼你們為什麼不信他?但我們怎敢說:是從人來的呢?」——他們是害怕民眾,因為眾人都以若翰實在是一位先知。他們便回答耶穌說:「我們不知道。」耶穌也對他們說:「我也不告訴你們:我憑什麼權柄作這些事。」

—上主的話。

A Reading from the Holy Gospel according to Mark 11:27-33

27 And they came again to Jerusalem. And as he was walking in the temple, the chief priests and the scribes and the elders came to him, 28 and they said to him, “By what authority are you doing these things, or who gave you this authority to do them?” 29 Jesus said to them, “I will ask you a question; answer me, and I will tell you by what authority I do these things. 30 Was the baptism of John from heaven or from men? Answer me.” 31 And they argued with one another, “If we say, `From heaven,’ he will say, `Why then did you not believe him?’ 32 But shall we say, `From men’?” — they were afraid of the people, for all held that John was a real prophet. 33 So they answered Jesus, “We do not know.” And Jesus said to them, “Neither will I tell you by what authority I do these things.”

—The Gospel of the Lord.
