神父講道 – 常年期第八週 (週一) (2019年3月4日)恭讀聖馬爾谷福音 10:17-27

耶穌正在出來行路時,跑來了一個人,跪在他面前,問他說:「善師,為承受永生,我該作什麼?」耶穌對他說:「你為什麼稱我善?除了天主一個外,沒有誰是善的。誡命你都知道:不可殺人,不可奸淫,不可偷盜,不可做假見證,不可欺詐,應孝敬你的父母。」他回答耶穌說:「師傅!這一切我從小就都遵守了。」耶穌定睛看他,就喜愛他,對他說:「你還缺少一樣:你去,變賣你所有的一切,施捨給窮人,你必有寶藏在天上,然後來,背著十字架,跟隨我!」因了這話,那人就面帶愁容,憂鬱地走了,因為他有許多產業。耶穌周圍一看,對自己的門徒說:「那些有錢財的人,進天主的國是多麼難啊!」門徒就都驚奇他這句話。耶穌又對他們說:「孩子們!仗恃錢財的人,進天主的國是多麼難啊!駱駝穿過針孔,比富有的人進天主的國還容易。」他們就更加驚奇,彼此說:「這樣,誰還能得救?」耶穌注視他們說:「在人不可能,在天主卻不然,因為在天主,一切都可能的。」

A Reading from the Holy Gospel according to Mark 10:17-27

As Jesus was setting out on a journey, a man ran up, knelt down before him, and asked him, “Good teacher, what must I do to inherit eternal life?” Jesus answered him, “Why do you call me good? No one is good but God alone. You know the commandments: You shall not kill; you shall not commit adultery; you shall not steal; you shall not bear false witness; you shall not defraud; honor your father and your mother.” He replied and said to him, “Teacher, all of these I have observed from my youth.” Jesus, looking at him, loved him and said to him, “You are lacking in one thing. Go, sell what you have, and give to the poor and you will have treasure in heaven; then come, follow me.” At that statement, his face fell, and he went away sad, for he had many possessions.
Jesus looked around and said to his disciples, “How hard it is for those who have wealth to enter the Kingdom of God!” The disciples were amazed at his words. So Jesus again said to them in reply, “Children, how hard it is to enter the Kingdom of God! It is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle. than for one who is rich to enter the Kingdom of God.” They were exceedingly astonished and said among themselves, “Then who can be saved?” Jesus looked at them and said, “For men it is impossible, but not for God. All things are possible for God.”
