恭讀聖若望福音 4:19-24

那時候撒馬黎雅婦人向耶穌說:「先生,我看你是個先知。我們的祖先一向在這座山上朝拜天主,你們卻說:應該朝拜的地方是在耶路撒冷。」耶穌回答說:「女人,妳相信我罷! 到了時候,你們將不在這座山,也不在耶路撒冷朝拜父。你們朝拜你們所不認識的,我們朝拜我們所認識的,因為救恩是出自猶太人。然而時候要到,且現在就是,那些真正朝拜的人,將以心神以真理拜父,因為父就是尋找這樣朝拜衪的人。天主是神,朝拜衪的人,應當以心神以真理去朝拜衪。」

A Reading from the Holy Gospel according to John 4:19-24

The woman said to him, “Sir, I can see that you are a prophet. Our ancestors worshiped on this mountain; but you people say that the place to worship is in Jerusalem.” Jesus said to her, “Believe me, woman, the hour is coming when you will worship the Father neither on this mountain nor in Jerusalem. You people worship what you do not understand; we worship what we understand, because salvation is from the Jews. But the hour is coming, and is now here, when true worshipers will worship the Father in Spirit and truth; and indeed the Father seeks such people to worship him. God is Spirit, and those who worship him must worship in Spirit and truth.”

—The Gospel of the Lord.
