恭讀聖若望福音 3:13-17

那時候,耶穌對尼苛德摩說:
「沒有人上過天,除了那自天降下,而仍在天上的人子。正如梅瑟曾在曠野裡高舉了蛇,人子也應照樣,被舉起來,使凡信的人,在他內獲得永生。」
天主竟然這樣愛了世界,甚至賜下了自己的獨生子,使凡信他的人,不至喪亡,反而獲得永生,因為天主沒有派遣子到世界上來,審判世界,而是為叫世界,藉著他而獲救。

—上主的話。

A Reading from the Holy Gospel according to John 3:13-17

Jesus said to Nicodemus: “No one has gone up to heaven except the one who has come down from heaven, the Son of Man. And just as Moses lifted up the serpent in the desert, so must the Son of Man be lifted up, so that everyone who believes in him may have eternal life.”
For God so loved the world that he gave his only Son, so that everyone who believes in him might not perish but might have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world might be saved through him.

—The Gospel of the Lord.
