恭讀聖路加福音 5: 17-26
有一天，耶穌正在施教，幾個法利塞人和法學士也在座。他們是從加里肋亞和猶太各鄉村及耶路撒冷來的；上主的德能催迫耶穌治病。看，有人用床抬來一個患癱瘓症的人，設法把他抬進去，放在耶穌跟前。但因人眾多，不得其門而入。遂上了房頂，從瓦中間，把他連那小床繫到中間，正放在耶穌面前。耶穌一見他們的信心，就說：「人啊！你的罪赦了。」經師和法利塞人開始忖度說：「這人是誰？竟說褻瀆話？除了天主一個外，誰能赦罪？」耶穌看透了他們的心思，就向他們說：「你們心裏忖度什麽呢？什麼比較容易？是說：你的罪赦了，或是說：起來行走吧！但爲叫你們知道人子在地上有權赦罪。」——便對癱子說：「我給你說：起來，拿起你的小床，回家去吧！」那人立刻在他們面前站了起來，拿著他躺過的小床，回家去了。眾人十分驚奇，並光榮天主，滿懷恐懼說：「今天我們看見了出奇的事。」

A Reading from the Holy Gospel according to Luke 5: 17-26
One day as Jesus was teaching, Pharisees and teachers of the law, who had come from every village of Galilee and Judea and Jerusalem, were sitting there, and the power of the Lord was with him for healing. And some men brought on a stretcher a man who was paralyzed; they were trying to bring him in and set him in his presence. But not finding a way to bring him in because of the crowd, they went up on the roof and lowered him on the stretcher through the tiles into the middle in front of Jesus. When Jesus saw their faith, he said, “As for you, your sins are forgiven.”
Then the scribes and Pharisees began to ask themselves, “Who is this who speaks blasphemies? Who but God alone can forgive sins?” Jesus knew their thoughts and said to them in reply, “What are you thinking in your hearts? Which is easier, to say, ‘Your sins are forgiven,’ or to say, ‘Rise and walk’? But that you may know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins”– he said to the one who was paralyzed, “I say to you, rise, pick up your stretcher, and go home.”
He stood up immediately before them, picked up what he had been lying on, and went home, glorifying God. Then astonishment seized them all and they glorified God, and, struck with awe, they said, “We have seen incredible things today.”
