恭讀聖路加福音 17:1-6

那時候,耶穌對門徒說:「引人跌倒的事是免不了的;但是,引人跌倒的人是有禍的。把一塊磨石套在他的頸上,投入海中,比讓他引誘這些小子中的一個跌倒,為他更好。你們要謹慎!如果你的兄弟犯了罪,你就得規勸他;他如果後悔了,你就得寬恕他。如果他一天七次得罪了你,而又七次轉向你說:我後悔了,你也得寬恕他。」
宗徒們向主說:「請增加我們的信德吧!」主說:「如果你們有像芥子那樣大的信德,即使你們對這棵桑樹說:你連根拔出,移植到海中去!它也會服從你們的。」

—上主的話。

A Reading from the Holy Gospel according to Luke 17:1-6

Jesus said to his disciples, “Things that cause sin will inevitably occur, but woe to the one through whom they occur. It would be better for him if a millstone were put around his neck and he be thrown into the sea than for him to cause one of these little ones to sin. Be on your guard! If your brother sins, rebuke him; and if he repents, forgive him. And if he wrongs you seven times in one day and returns to you seven times saying, ‘I am sorry,’ you should forgive him.”
And the Apostles said to the Lord, “Increase our faith.” The Lord replied, “If you have faith the size of a mustard seed, you would say to this mulberry tree, ‘Be uprooted and planted in the sea,’ and it would obey you.”

—The Gospel of the Lord.
