聖路加福音 9:57-62

耶穌和門徒正走的時候,在路上有一個人對耶穌說:「你不論往那裏去,我要跟隨你。」耶穌對他說:「狐狸有穴,天上的飛鳥有巢;但是人子卻沒有枕頭的地方。」又對另一個人說:「你跟隨我吧!」那人卻說:「主,請許我先去埋葬我的父親。」耶穌對他說:「任憑死人去埋葬自己的死人吧!至於你,你要去傳揚天主的國。」又有一個人說:「主!我要跟隨你;但是請許我先去告別我的家人。」耶穌對他說:「手扶著犁而往後看的,不適於天主的國。」

A Reading from the Holy Gospel according to Luke 9:57-62

As they were going along the road, a man said to him, “I will follow you wherever you go.” And Jesus said to him, “Foxes have holes, and birds of the air have nests; but the Son of man has nowhere to lay his head.” To another he said, “Follow me.” But he said, “Lord, let me first go and bury my father.” But he said to him, “Leave the dead to bury their own dead; but as for you, go and proclaim the kingdom of God.” Another said, “I will follow you, Lord; but let me first say farewell to those at my home.” Jesus said to him, “No one who puts his hand to the plow and looks back is fit for the kingdom of God.”
