恭讀聖馬爾谷福音 10:32-45

那時,耶穌和門徒在路上,要上耶路撒冷去。耶穌在門徒前頭走,他們都驚奇,跟隨的人也都害怕。耶穌又把那十二人帶到一邊,開始告訴他們那將要臨到他身上的事:「看,我們上耶路撒冷去,人子要被交於司祭長和經師;他們要定他的死罪,要把他交給外邦人;這些人要戲弄他,唾污他,鞭打他,殺害他;但三天以後,他必要復活。」
載伯德的兒子雅各伯和若望來到耶穌跟前,對他說:「師傅!我們願你允許我們的請求!」耶穌對他們說:「你們願意我給你們做什麼?」他們回答說:「賜我們在你的光榮中,一個坐在你右邊,一個坐在你左邊。」耶穌對他們說:「你們不知道你們所求的是什麼;你們能飲我飲的爵嗎?或者,你們能受我受的洗嗎?」他們對他說:「我們能。」耶穌就對他們說:「我飲的爵,你們必要飲;我受的洗,你們必要受;但坐在我右邊或左邊,不是我可以給的,而是給誰預備了,就給誰。」那十個聽了,就開始惱怒雅各伯和若望。耶穌叫門徒過來,對他們說:「你們知道,在外邦人中,有尊為首領的,主宰他們,有大臣管轄他們;但你們中間,卻不可這樣:誰若願意在你們中間成為大的,就當作你們的僕役;誰若願意在你們中間為首,就當作眾人的奴僕,因為人子,不是來受服侍,而是來服侍人,並交出自己的性命,為大眾作贖價。」

A Reading from the Holy Gospel according to Mark 10:32-45

The disciples were on the way, going up to Jerusalem, and Jesus went ahead of them. They were amazed, and those who followed were afraid. Taking the Twelve aside again, he began to tell them what was going to happen to him. “Behold, we are going up to Jerusalem, and the Son of Man will be handed over to the chief priests and the scribes, and they will condemn him to death and hand him over to the Gentiles who will mock him, spit upon him, scourge him, and put him to death, but after three days he will rise.”
Then James and John, the sons of Zebedee, came to Jesus and said to him, “Teacher, we want you to do for us whatever we ask of you.” He replied, “What do you wish me to do for you?” They answered him, “Grant that in your glory we may sit one at your right and the other at your left.” Jesus said to them, “You do not know what you are asking. Can you drink the chalice that I drink or be baptized with the baptism with which I am baptized?” They said to him, “We can.” Jesus said to them, “The chalice that I drink, you will drink, and with the baptism with which I am baptized, you will be baptized; but to sit at my right or at my left is not mine to give but is for those for whom it has been prepared.” When the ten heard this, they became indignant at James and John. Jesus summoned them and said to them, “You know that those who are recognized as rulers over the Gentiles lord it over them, and their great ones make their authority over them felt. But it shall not be so among you. Rather, whoever wishes to be great among you will be your servant; whoever wishes to be first among you will be the slave of all. For the Son of Man did not come to be served but to serve and to give his life as a ransom for many.”
