恭讀聖瑪竇福音　2:1-12

當黑落德為王時，耶穌誕生在猶大的白冷。看，有賢士從東方來到耶路撒冷，說：「剛誕生的猶太人君王在那裡？我們在東方見到了他的星，特來朝拜他。」
黑落德王聽見了，就驚慌起來；全耶路撒冷也同他一起驚慌。黑落德王便召集了眾司祭長和民間的經師，仔細考問他們：「默西亞應當生在那裡？」他們對他說：「在猶大的白冷，因為先知曾這樣記載：『你猶大白冷啊！你在猶大的郡邑中，決不是最小的，因為將由你出來一位領袖；他將牧養我的百姓以色列。』」
於是，黑落德暗暗把賢士叫來，仔細詢問他們那星出現的時間；然後打發他們往白冷去，說：「你們去仔細尋訪那嬰孩，幾時找到了，就向我報告，好讓我也去朝拜他。」 賢士聽了王的話，就走了。
看，他們在東方所見的那星，走在他們前面，直至來到嬰孩所在的地方，就停在上面。他們一見到那星，極其高興歡喜。他們走進屋裡，看見嬰孩和他的母親瑪利亞，就俯伏朝拜了那嬰孩，並打開自己的寶匣，給嬰孩奉獻了禮物，即黃金、乳香和沒藥。
賢士在夢中得到指示，不要回到黑落德那裡，就由另一條路，返回自己的地方。

—上主的話。

(The Epiphany of the Lord)

A Reading from the Holy Gospel according to Matthew 2:1-12

When Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judea, in the days of King Herod, behold, magi from the east arrived in Jerusalem, saying, “Where is the newborn king of the Jews? We saw his star at its rising and have come to do him homage.” When King Herod heard this, he was greatly troubled, and all Jerusalem with him. Assembling all the chief priests and the scribes of the people, He inquired of them where the Christ was to be born. They said to him, “In Bethlehem of Judea, for thus it has been written through the prophet: And you, Bethlehem, land of Judah, are by no means least among the rulers of Judah; since from you shall come a ruler, who is to shepherd my people Israel.” Then Herod called the magi secretly and ascertained from them the time of the star’s appearance. He sent them to Bethlehem and said, “Go and search diligently for the child. When you have found him, bring me word, that I too may go and do him homage.” After their audience with the king they set out. And behold, the star that they had seen at its rising preceded them, until it came and stopped over the place where the child was. They were overjoyed at seeing the star, and on entering the house they saw the child with Mary his mother. They prostrated themselves and did him homage. Then they opened their treasures and offered him gifts of gold, frankincense, and myrrh. And having been warned in a dream not to return to Herod, they departed for their country by another way.

恭讀聖若望福音　2:1-11

那時候，在加里肋亞加納有婚宴，耶穌的母親在那裏，耶穌和他的門徒也被請去赴婚宴。酒缺了，耶穌的母親向他說：「他們沒有酒了。」耶穌回答說：「女人，這於我和你有什麼關係？我的時刻尚未來到。」他的母親給僕役說：「他無論吩咐你們什麼，你們就作什麼。」在那裏放著六口石缸，是為猶太人的取潔禮用的，每口可容納兩三桶水。耶穌向僕役說：「你們把缸罐滿水吧！」他們就灌滿了，直到缸口。然後，耶穌給他們說：「現在你們舀出來，送給司席。」他們便送去了。司筵一嘗已變成酒的水——並不知是從那裏來的，舀水的僕役卻知道——司席便叫了新郎來，向他說：「人人都先擺上好酒，當客人喝夠了，才擺上次等的，你卻把好酒保留到現在。」這是耶穌所行的第一個神蹟，是在加里肋亞加納行的，他顯示了自己的光榮，他的門徒們就信從了他。

—上主的話。

(Before Epiphany – Saturday)

A Reading from the Holy Gospel according to John 2:1-11

There was a wedding at Cana in Galilee, and the mother of Jesus was there. Jesus and his disciples were also invited to the wedding. When the wine ran short, the mother of Jesus said to him, “They have no wine.” And Jesus said to her, “Woman, how does your concern affect me? My hour has not yet come.” His mother said to the servers, “Do whatever he tells you.” Now there were six stone water jars there for Jewish ceremonial washings, each holding twenty to thirty gallons. Jesus told them, “Fill the jars with water.” So they filled them to the brim. Then he told them, “Draw some out now and take it to the headwaiter.” So they took it. And when the headwaiter tasted the water that had become wine, without knowing where it came from (although the servers who had drawn the water knew), the headwaiter called the bridegroom and said to him, “Everyone serves good wine first, and then when people have drunk freely, an inferior one; but you have kept the good wine until now.” Jesus did this as the beginning of his signs at Cana in Galilee and so revealed his glory, and his disciples began to believe in him.

恭讀聖馬爾谷福音　1:7-11

那時候，若翰宣告說：「那比我更有力量的，要在我以後來，我連俯身解他的鞋帶也不配。我以水洗你們，他卻要以聖神洗你們。」在那些日子裏，耶穌由加里肋亞納匝肋來，在約旦河裏受了若翰的洗。他剛從水裏上來，就看見天裂開了，聖神有如鴿子降在他上面；又有聲音從天上說：「你是我的愛子，我因你而喜悅。」

—上主的話。

(Before Epiphany – Friday)

A Reading from the Holy Gospel according to Mark 1:7-11

And this is what John proclaimed: “One mightier than I is coming after me. I am not worthy to stoop and loosen the thongs of his sandals. I have baptized you with water; he will baptize you with the holy Spirit.” It happened in those days that Jesus came from Nazareth of Galilee and was baptized in the Jordan by John. On coming up out of the water he saw the heavens being torn open and the Spirit, like a dove, descending upon him. And a voice came from the heavens, “You are my beloved Son; with you I am well pleased.”

恭讀聖若望福音　1:43-51

那時候，耶穌願意往加里肋亞去，遇到了斐理伯，耶穌便向他說：「你跟隨我吧！」斐理伯是貝特賽達人，與安德肋和伯多祿同城。斐理伯遇到納塔乃耳，就向他說：「梅瑟在法律上所記載，和先知們所預報的，我們找著了，就是若瑟的兒子，出身於納匝納耶穌。」納塔乃耳便向他說：「從納匝肋還能出什麼好東西？」斐理伯向他說：「你來看一看吧！」耶穌看見納塔乃耳向自己走來，就指著他說：「看，這確是一個以色列人，在他內毫無詭詐。」納塔乃耳向他說：「你從那裡認識我呢？」耶穌回答說：「斐理伯叫你以前，當你還在無花果樹下時，我就看見了你。」納塔乃耳回答說：「辣彼，你是天主子，你是以色列的君王。」耶穌遂說道：「因為我向你說：我看見了你在無花果樹下，你就信了嗎？你要看見比這更大的事！」又向他說：「我實實在在告訴你們：你們要看見天開，天主的天使在人子身上，上去下來。」

—上主的話。

(Before Epiphany – Thursday)

A Reading from the Holy Gospel according to John 1:43-51

Jesus decided to go to Galilee, and he found Philip. And Jesus said to him, “Follow me.” Now Philip was from Bethsaida, the town of Andrew and Peter. Philip found Nathanael and told him, “We have found the one about whom Moses wrote in the law, and also the prophets, Jesus, son of Joseph, from Nazareth.” But Nathanael said to him, “Can anything good come from Nazareth?” Philip said to him, “Come and see.” Jesus saw Nathanael coming toward him and said of him, “Here is a true child of Israel. There is no duplicity in him.” Nathanael said to him, “How do you know me?” Jesus answered and said to him, “Before Philip called you, I saw you under the fig tree.” Nathanael answered him, “Rabbi, you are the Son of God; you are the King of Israel.” Jesus answered and said to him, “Do you believe because I told you that I saw you under the fig tree? You will see greater things than this.” And he said to him, “Amen, amen, I say to you, you will see the sky opened and the angels of God ascending and descending on the Son of Man.”

恭讀聖若望福音　1:35-42

第二天，若翰和他的兩個門徒，又在那裏站著，若翰看見耶穌走過，便注視著他說：「看，天主的羔羊！」那兩個門徒聽見他說這話，便跟隨了耶穌。耶穌轉過身來，看見他們跟著，便問他們說：「你們找什麼？」他們回答說：「辣彼！——意即師傅——你住在那裏？」他向他們說：「你們來看看吧！」他們於是去了，見了他住的地方；那天，他們就在那裏住下了。那時，大約是第十時辰。西滿伯多祿的哥哥安德肋，就是聽了若翰的話，而跟隨了耶穌的那兩人中的一個，先去找到了自己的弟弟西滿，並向他說：「我們找到了默西亞」——意即基督。遂領他到耶穌跟前，耶穌注視著他說：「你是若望的兒子西滿，你要叫『刻法』」——意即伯多祿。」

—上主的話。

(Before Epiphany – Wednesday)

A Reading from the Holy Gospel according to John 1:35-42

John was standing with two of his disciples, and as he watched Jesus walk by, he said, “Behold, the Lamb of God.” The two disciples heard what he said and followed Jesus. Jesus turned and saw them following him and said to them, “What are you looking for?” They said to him, “Rabbi” (which translated means Teacher), “where are you staying?” He said to them, “Come, and you will see.” So they went and saw where he was staying, and they stayed with him that day. It was about four in the afternoon. Andrew, the brother of Simon Peter, was one of the two who heard John and followed Jesus. He first found his own brother Simon and told him, “We have found the Messiah,” which is translated Christ. Then he brought him to Jesus. Jesus looked at him and said, “You are Simon the son of John; you will be called Cephas,” which is translated Peter.

恭讀聖路加福音　2:21-24

滿了八天，孩子應受割損，遂給衪起名叫耶穌，這是衪降孕母胎前，由天使所起的。按梅瑟的法律，一滿了他們取潔的日期，他們便帶孩子上耶路撒冷去獻給上主，就如上主的法律上所記載的：『凡開胎首生的男性，應祝聖於上主。』並該照上主法律上所吩咐的，獻上祭物：一對斑鳩或兩隻鶵鴿。

—上主的話。

(Before Epiphany – Tuesday – Holy Name of Jesus)

A Reading from the Holy Gospel according to Luke 2:21-24

When eight days were completed for his circumcision, he was named Jesus, the name given him by the angel before he was conceived in the womb. When the days were completed for their purification according to the law of Moses, the parents of Jesus took him up to Jerusalem to present him to the Lord, just as it is written in the law of the Lord, Every male that opens the womb shall be consecrated to the Lord, and to offer the sacrifice of a pair of turtledoves or two young pigeons, in accordance with the dictate in the law of the Lord.

恭讀聖若望福音　1:19-28

這是若翰所作的見證：當猶太人從耶路撒冷派遣了司祭和肋未人，到他那裡問他說：「你是誰」他明明承認，並沒有否認，他明認說：「我不是默西亞。」他們問他說：「那麼你是誰？你是厄里亞嗎？」他說：「我不是。」「你是那位先知嗎？」他回答說：「不是。」於是他們問他說：「你究竟是誰？好叫我們給那派遣我們來的人一個答覆。你自己說你是誰？」他說：「我是在曠野裡呼喊者的聲音：修直上主的道路！正如依撒意亞先知所說的。」被派遣來的有些是法利塞人。他們又問他說：「你既不是默西亞，又不是厄里亞，又不是那位先知，那麼，你為什麼施洗呢？」若翰答覆他們說：「我以水施洗。你們中間站著一位，是你們不認識的；他在我以後來，我卻當不起解他的鞋帶。」這些事發生於約旦河對岸的伯達尼，若翰施洗的地方。

(Before Epiphany – Monday)

(Memorial of Saint Basil the Great, Bishops and Doctors of the Church) and (Memorial of Saint Gregory Nazianzen, Bishops and Doctors of the Church)

A Reading from the Holy Gospel according to John 1:19-28

This is the testimony of John. When the Jews from Jerusalem sent priests and Levites to him to ask him, “Who are you?” He admitted and did not deny it, but admitted, “I am not the Christ.” So they asked him, “What are you then? Are you Elijah?” And he said, “I am not.” “Are you the Prophet?” He answered, “No.” So they said to him, “Who are you, so we can give an answer to those who sent us? What do you have to say for yourself?” He said: “I am the voice of one crying out in the desert, ‘Make straight the way of the Lord,’ as Isaiah the prophet said.” Some Pharisees were also sent. They asked him, “Why then do you baptize if you are not the Christ or Elijah or the Prophet?” John answered them, “I baptize with water; but there is one among you whom you do not recognize, the one who is coming after me, whose sandal strap I am not worthy to untie.” This happened in Bethany across the Jordan, where John was baptizing.
