恭讀聖瑪竇福音 17: 10-13

眾門徒從山上下來時,便問耶穌說:「那麼,爲什麽經師說:厄里亞應該先來呢?」耶穌回答說:「厄里亞的確要來,且要重整一切;但我告訴你們;厄里亞已經來了,人們卻不認識他,反而任意待了他;照樣,人子也要受他們的磨難。」門徒這才明白耶穌給他們所說的,是指的洗者若翰。

—上主的話。

A Reading from the Holy Gospel according to Matthew 17:9a,10-13

9a And as they were coming down the mountain 10 the disciples asked him, “Then why do the scribes say that first Elijah must come?” 11 He replied, “Elijah does come, and he is to restore all things; 12 but I tell you that Elijah has already come, and they did not know him, but did to him whatever they pleased. So also the Son of man will suffer at their hands.” 13 Then the disciples understood that he was speaking to them of John the Baptist.

—The Gospel of the Lord.
