恭讀聖路加福音 7:31-35

那時候,耶穌說:「我可把這一代的人比作什麼呢?他們相似什麼人呢?他們相似坐在街上的兒童,彼此呼喚說:我們給你們吹笛,你們卻不跳舞;我們唱哀歌,你們卻不悲哭。因為洗者若翰來了,他不吃餅,也不喝酒。你們便說:他附了魔。人子來了,也吃也喝,你們又說:這是個貪吃嗜酒的人,是稅史和罪人的朋友。但一切智慧之子,必彰顯智慧的正義。」

—上主的話。

A Reading from the Holy Gospel according to Luke 7:31-35

Jesus said to the crowds: “To what shall I compare the people of this generation? What are they like? They are like children who sit in the marketplace and call to one another,
‘We played the flute for you, but you did not dance. We sang a dirge, but you did not weep.’
For John the Baptist came neither eating food nor drinking wine, and you said, ‘He is possessed by a demon.’ The Son of Man came eating and drinking and you said, ‘Look, he is a glutton and a drunkard, a friend of tax collectors and sinners.’ But wisdom is vindicated by all her children.”

—The Gospel of the Lord.
