恭讀聖若望福音 15:12-17

那時,耶穌對門徒說:「這是我的命令:你們該彼此相愛,如同我愛了你們一樣。人若為自己的朋友捨掉性命,再沒有比這更大的愛情了。你們如果實行我所命令你們的,你們就是我的朋友。我不再稱你們為僕人,因為僕人不知道他主人所做的事。我稱你們為朋友,因為凡由我父聽來的一切,我都顯示給你們了。不是你們揀選了我,而是我揀選了你們,並派你們去結果實,去結常存的果實;如此,你們因我的名無論向父求什麼,他必賜給你們。這就是我命令你們的:你們應該彼此相愛。」

—上主的話。

A Reading from the Holy Gospel according to John 15:12-17

Jesus said to his disciples: “This is my commandment: love one another as I love you. No one has greater love than this, to lay down one’s life for one’s friends. You are my friends if you do what I command you. I no longer call you slaves, because a slave does not know what his master is doing. I have called you friends, because I have told you everything I have heard from my Father. It was not you who chose me, but I who chose you and appointed you to go and bear fruit that will remain, so that whatever you ask the Father in my name he may give you. This I command you: love one another.”

—The Gospel of the Lord.
