恭讀聖路加福音 13:10-17

安息日,耶穌在一會堂裏施教。有一女人,病魔纏身已十八年了,傴僂著,完全不能直立。耶穌見了她,便叫她過來,對她說:「女人,你的病已消除了。」遂給她按手,她即刻就挺直起來,光榮天主。會堂長因氣惱耶穌在安息日治病,便對眾人說:「有六天應當工作,你們在這些日子裏可來治病,但不可在安息日這一天。」主回答他說:「假善人哪!你們每一個人在安息日,有不解下槽上的牛驢,牽去飲水的嗎?這個女人原是亞巴郎的女兒,她被撒殫纏住已經有十八年了,在安息日這一天,就不該解開她的束縛嗎?」當耶穌講這話時,所有敵對他的人,個個慚愧;所有民眾因他所行的種種輝煌事蹟,莫不歡喜。

A Reading from the Holy Gospel according to Luke 13:10-17

Jesus was teaching in a synagogue on the sabbath. And a woman was there who for eighteen years had been crippled by a spirit; she was bent over, completely incapable of standing erect. When Jesus saw her, he called to her and said, “Woman, you are set free of your infirmity.” He laid his hands on her, and she at once stood up straight and glorified God. But the leader of the synagogue, indignant that Jesus had cured on the sabbath, said to the crowd in reply, “There are six days when work should be done. Come on those days to be cured, not on the sabbath day.” The Lord said to him in reply, “Hypocrites! Does not each one of you on the sabbath untie his ox or his ass from the manger and lead it out for watering? This daughter of Abraham, whom Satan has bound for eighteen years now, ought she not to have been set free on the sabbath day from this bondage?” When he said this, all his adversaries were humiliated; and the whole crowd rejoiced at all the splendid deeds done by him.
