恭讀聖瑪竇福音 5:38-48
那時候，耶穌對門徒說：「你們一向聽說過：『以眼還眼，以牙還牙。』我卻對你們說：不要抵抗惡人；而且，若有人掌擊你的右頰，你把另一面也轉給他。那要與你爭訟，拿你內衣的，你連外衣也讓給他。若有人強迫你走一千步，你就同他走兩千步。求你的，就給他；有人向你借貸，你不要拒絕。
「你們一向聽說過：『你應愛你的近人，恨你的仇人！』我卻對你們說：你們當愛你們的仇人，當為迫害你們的人祈禱，好使你們成為你們在天之父的子女，因為他使太陽上升，光照惡人，也光照善人；降雨給義人，也給不義的人。
「你們若只愛那愛你們的人，你們還有什麼賞報呢？稅吏不是也這樣做嗎？你們若只問候你們的弟兄，你們做了什麼特別的呢？外邦人不是也這樣做嗎？所以你們應當是成全的，如同你們的天父是成全的一樣。」

A Reading from the Holy Gospel according to Matthew 5:38-48
Jesus said to his disciples: “You have heard that it was said, An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth. But I say to you, offer no resistance to one who is evil. When someone strikes you on your right cheek, turn the other one as well. If anyone wants to go to law with you over your tunic, hand over your cloak as well. Should anyone press you into service for one mile, go for two miles. Give to the one who asks of you, and do not turn your back on one who wants to borrow.
“You have heard that it was said, You shall love your neighbor and hate your enemy. But I say to you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, that you may be children of your heavenly Father, for he makes his sun rise on the bad and the good, and causes rain to fall on the just and the unjust. For if you love those who love you, what recompense will you have? Do not the tax collectors do the same? And if you greet your brothers only, what is unusual about that? Do not the pagans do the same? So be perfect, just as your heavenly Father is perfect.”
