恭讀聖路加福音 11:47-54

耶穌向法學士們說:「禍哉,你們!你們修建先知的墳墓,而你們的祖先卻殺害了他們,可見你們證明,並且贊成你們祖先所行的事,因為他們殺害了先知,而你們卻修建先知的墳墓。為此,天主的智慧曾說過:我將要派遣先知及使者到他們那裏,其中有的,他們要殺死;有的,他們要迫害,為使從創造世界以來,所流眾先知的血,都要向這一代追討,從亞伯爾的血,到喪亡在祭壇與聖所之間的則加黎雅的血,的確,我告訴你們:都要向這一代追討。禍哉,你們法學士!因為你們拿走了知識的鑰匙,自己不進去,那願意進去的,你們也加以阻止。」耶穌從那個法利塞人的家出來以後,經師們及法利塞人開始嚴厲追逼他,盤問他許多的事,窺伺他,要他從口中找到語病。

A Reading from the Holy Gospel according to Luke 11:47-54

The Lord said: “Woe to you who build the memorials of the prophets whom your fathers killed. Consequently, you bear witness and give consent to the deeds of your ancestors, for they killed them and you do the building. Therefore, the wisdom of God said, ‘I will send to them prophets and Apostles; some of them they will kill and persecute’ in order that this generation might be charged with the blood of all the prophets shed since the foundation of the world, from the blood of Abel to the blood of Zechariah who died between the altar and the temple building. Yes, I tell you, this generation will be charged with their blood! Woe to you, scholars of the law! You have taken away the key of knowledge. You yourselves did not enter and you stopped those trying to enter.” When Jesus left, the scribes and Pharisees began to act with hostility toward him and to interrogate him about many things, for they were plotting to catch him at something he might say.
