恭讀聖瑪竇福音 13:54-58

那時候,耶穌來到自己的家鄉,在會堂裡教訓人,以致人們都驚訝說:「這人從那裡得到了這樣的智慧和奇能?這人不是那木匠的兒子?他的母親不是叫瑪利亞,他的弟兄不是叫雅各伯、若瑟、西滿和猶達嗎?他的姊妹不是都在我們這裡嗎?那麼他的這一切是從那裡來的呢?」他們就對他起了反感。耶穌卻對他們說:「先知除了在本鄉本家外,沒有不受尊敬的。」他在那裡,因為他們不信,沒有多行奇能。

(Memorial of Saint Joseph the Worker)

A Reading from the Holy Gospel according to Matthew 13:54-58

He came to his native place and taught the people in their synagogue. They were astonished and said, “Where did this man get such wisdom and mighty deeds? Is he not the carpenter’s son? Is not his mother named Mary and his brothers James, Joseph, Simon, and Judas? Are not his sisters all with us? Where did this man get all this?” And they took offense at him. But Jesus said to them, “A prophet is not without honor except in his native place and in his own house.” And he did not work many mighty deeds there because of their lack of faith.

那時候,耶穌對尼苛德摩說:「你不要驚奇,因我給你說了,你們應該由上而生。風隨意向那裏吹,你聽到風的響聲,卻不知道風從那裏來,往那裏去:凡由聖神而生的就是這樣。」尼苛德摩問說:「這事怎樣能成就呢?」耶穌回答說:「你是以色列的師傅,連這事你都不知道嗎?我實實在在告訴你:我們知道的,我們才講論;我們見過的,我們才作證;而你們卻不接受我們的見證。若我給你們說地上的事,你們尚且不信;若我給你們說天上的事,你們怎麼會信呢?沒有人上過天,除了那自天降下而仍在天上的人子。正如梅瑟曾在曠野裏高舉了蛇,人子也應照樣被舉起來。使凡信的人,在他內得永生。

A Reading from the Holy Gospel according to John 3:7-15

Jesus said to Nicodemus: “‘You must be born from above.’ The wind blows where it wills, and you can hear the sound it makes, but you do not know where it comes from or where it goes; so it is with everyone who is born of the Spirit.” Nicodemus answered and said to him, ‘How can this happen?” Jesus answered and said to him, “You are the teacher of Israel and you do not understand this? Amen, amen, I say to you, we speak of what we know and we testify to what we have seen, but you people do not accept our testimony. If I tell you about earthly things and you do not believe, how will you believe if I tell you about heavenly things? 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.”

有一個法利塞黨人,名叫尼苛德摩,是個猶太人的首領。有一夜,他來到耶穌前,向他說:「辣彼,我們知道你是由天主而來的師傅,因為天主若不同他在一起,誰也不能行你所行的這些神蹟。」耶穌回答說:「我實實在在告訴你:人除非由上而生,不能見到天主的國。」尼苛德摩說:「人已年老,怎樣能重生呢?難道他還能再入母腹而重生嗎?」耶穌回答說:「我實實在在告訴你:人除非由水和聖神而生,不能進天主的國:由肉生的屬於肉,由神生的屬於神。你不要驚奇,因我給你說了:你們應該由上而生。風隨意向那裏吹,你聽到風的響聲,卻不知道風從那裏來,往那裏去。凡由聖神而生的就是這樣。」

(Memorial of Saint Catherine of Siena, Virgin and Doctor of the Church)

A Reading from the Holy Gospel according to John 3:1-8

There was a Pharisee named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews. He came to Jesus at night and said to him, “Rabbi, we know that you are a teacher who has come from God, for no one can do these signs that you are doing unless God is with him.” Jesus answered and said to him, “Amen, amen, I say to you, unless one is born from above, he cannot see the Kingdom of God.” Nicodemus said to him, “How can a man once grown old be born again? Surely he cannot reenter his mother’s womb and be born again, can he?” Jesus answered, “Amen, amen, I say to you, unless one is born of water and Spirit he cannot enter the Kingdom of God. What is born of flesh is flesh and what is born of spirit is spirit. Do not be amazed that I told you, ‘You must be born from above.’ The wind blows where it wills, and you can hear the sound it makes, but you do not know where it comes from or where it goes; so it is with everyone who is born of the Spirit.”

恭讀聖若望福音 20:19-31

一周的第一天晚上,門徒所在的地方,因為怕猶太人,門戶都關著,耶穌來了,站在中間,對他們說:「願你們平安!」 說了這話,便把手和肋膀指給他們看。門徒見了主,便喜歡起來。
耶穌又對他們說:「願你們平安!就如父派遣了我,我也同樣派遣你們。」說了這話,就向他們噓了一口氣,說:「你們領受聖神吧!你們赦免誰的罪,誰的罪就得赦免;你們保留誰的罪,誰的罪就被保留。」
十二人中的一個,號稱狄狄摩的多默,當耶穌來時,卻沒有和他們在一起。其他門徒向他說:「我們看見了主。」
但多默對他們說:「除非我看見他手上的釘孔,用我的指頭,探入釘孔;用我的手,探入他的肋膀,我決不信。」
八天以後,耶穌的門徒又在屋裡,多默也和他們在一起。門戶關著,耶穌來了,站在中間,說:「願你們平安!」然後對多默說:「把你的指頭伸到這裡來,看看我的手吧!並伸過你的手來,探入我的肋膀,不要做無信德的人,但要做個有信德的人。」
多默回答說:「我主!我天主!」
耶穌對多默說:「因為你看見了我,才相信嗎?那些沒有看見而相信的,才是有福的!」
耶穌在門徒前,還行了許多其他神蹟,沒有記在這部書上。這些所記錄的,是為叫你們信耶穌是默西亞,天主子,並使你們信的人,賴他的名,獲得生命。

(Easter Sunday – The Resurrection of the Lord )

A Reading from the Holy Gospel according to John 20:19-31

On the evening of that first day of the week, when the doors were locked, where the disciples were, for fear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood in their midst and said to them, “Peace be with you.” When he had said this, he showed them his hands and his side. The disciples rejoiced when they saw the Lord. Jesus said to them again, “Peace be with you. As the Father has sent me, so I send you.” And when he had said this, he breathed on them and said to them, “Receive the Holy Spirit. Whose sins you forgive are forgiven them, and whose sins you retain are retained.”
Thomas, called Didymus, one of the Twelve, was not with them when Jesus came. So the other disciples said to him, “We have seen the Lord.” But he said to them, “Unless I see the mark of the nails in his hands and put my finger into the nailmarks and put my hand into his side, I will not believe.”
Now a week later his disciples were again inside and Thomas was with them. Jesus came, although the doors were locked, and stood in their midst and said, “Peace be with you.” Then he said to Thomas, “Put your finger here and see my hands, and bring your hand and put it into my side, and do not be unbelieving, but believe.” Thomas answered and said to him, “My Lord and my God!” Jesus said to him, “Have you come to believe because you have seen me? Blessed are those who have not seen and have believed.”
Now Jesus did many other signs in the presence of his disciples that are not written in this book. But these are written that you may come to believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that through this belief you may have life in his name.

一週的第一天。清早,耶穌復活後,首先顯現給瑪利亞瑪達肋納:耶穌曾從她身上逐出過七個魔鬼。她去報告那些一向同耶穌在一起的人,那時,他們正在哀號哭涕。他們聽說耶穌復活了,並顯現給她,他們卻不相信。
此後,他們中有兩個人往鄉下去;走路的時候,耶穌藉了另一個形狀顯現給他們。他們就去報告其餘的人,但那些人對他們也不相信。
最後,當他們十一人坐席的時候,耶穌顯現給他們,責斥他們的無信和心硬,因為他們不信那些在他由死者中復活後,見了他的人。然後耶穌對他們說:「你們往普天下去,向一切受造的宣傳福音。」

A Reading from the Holy Gospel according to Mark 16:9-15

When Jesus had risen, early on the first day of the week, he appeared first to Mary Magdalene, out of whom he had driven seven demons. She went and told his companions who were mourning and weeping. When they heard that he was alive and had been seen by her, they did not believe.
After this he appeared in another form to two of them walking along on their way to the country. They returned and told the others; but they did not believe them either.
But later, as the Eleven were at table, he appeared to them and rebuked them for their unbelief and hardness of heart because they had not believed those who saw him after he had been raised. He said to them, “Go into the whole world and proclaim the Gospel to every creature.”

那時,耶穌在提庇黎雅海邊,又顯現給門徒;他是這樣顯現的:當西滿伯多祿,號稱狄狄摩的多默,加里肋亞加納的納塔乃耳,載伯德的兩個兒子,和其他兩個門徒在一起的時候,西滿伯多祿對他們說:「我去打魚。」他們回答說:「我們也同你一起去。」他們便出去,上了船,但那一夜什麼也沒有捕到。已經到了早晨,耶穌站在岸上,門徒卻沒有認出他是耶穌來。於是耶穌對他們說:「孩子們!你們有些魚吃嗎?」他們回答說:「沒有。」耶穌向他們說:「向船右邊撒網,就會捕到。」他們便撒下網去,因為魚太多,竟不能拉上網來。耶穌所愛的那個門徒就對伯多祿說:「是主。」伯多祿一聽說是主,他原是赤著身,就束上外衣,縱身跳入海裏;其他的門徒,因離岸不遠——約有二百肘——坐著小船,拖著一網魚而來。當他們上了岸,看見放著一堆炭火,上面放著魚和餅。耶穌對他們說:「把你們剛才所打得的魚拿一些來!」西滿伯多祿便上去,把網拉上岸來。網裏滿了大魚,共一百五十三條;雖然這麼多,網卻沒有破。耶穌向他們說:「你們來吃早飯吧!」門徒中沒有人敢問他:「你是誰?」因為知道是主。耶穌遂上前拿起餅來,遞給他們;也同樣拿起魚來,遞給他們。耶穌從死者中復活後,向門徒顯現,這已是第三次。

A Reading from the Holy Gospel according to John 21:1-14

Jesus revealed himself again to his disciples at the Sea of Tiberias. He revealed himself in this way. Together were Simon Peter, Thomas called Didymus, Nathanael from Cana in Galilee, Zebedee’s sons, and two others of his disciples. Simon Peter said to them, “I am going fishing.” They said to him, “We also will come with you.” So they went out and got into the boat, but that night they caught nothing. When it was already dawn, Jesus was standing on the shore; but the disciples did not realize that it was Jesus. Jesus said to them, “Children, have you caught anything to eat?” They answered him, “No.” So he said to them, “Cast the net over the right side of the boat and you will find something.” So they cast it, and were not able to pull it in because of the number of fish. So the disciple whom Jesus loved said to Peter, “It is the Lord.” When Simon Peter heard that it was the Lord, he tucked in his garment, for he was lightly clad, and jumped into the sea. The other disciples came in the boat, for they were not far from shore, only about a hundred yards, dragging the net with the fish. When they climbed out on shore, they saw a charcoal fire with fish on it and bread. Jesus said to them, “Bring some of the fish you just caught.” So Simon Peter went over and dragged the net ashore full of one hundred fifty-three large fish. Even though there were so many, the net was not torn. Jesus said to them, “Come, have breakfast.” And none of the disciples dared to ask him, “Who are you?” because they realized it was the Lord. Jesus came over and took the bread and gave it to them, and in like manner the fish. This was now the third time Jesus was revealed to his disciples after being raised from the dead.

他們正談論這些事的時候,耶穌立在他們中間,向他們說:「願你們平安!」眾人害怕起來,想是見了鬼神。耶穌向他們說:「你們為什麼惶恐?為什麼心裏起了疑慮?你們看看我的手,我的腳,分明是我自己。你們摸摸我,應該知道:鬼神是沒有肉軀和骨頭的,如同你們看我,卻是有的。」說了這話,就把手和腳伸給他們看。他們由於歡喜,還是不敢信,只是驚訝;耶穌向他們說:「你們這裏有什麼吃的沒有?」他們便給他一片烤魚。他就接過來,當他們面前吃了。
耶穌對他們說:「我以前還同你們在一起的時候,就對你們說過這話:諸凡梅瑟法律、先知並聖詠上指著我所記載的話,都必須應驗。」耶穌遂開啟他們的明悟,叫他們理解經書;又向他們說:「經上曾這樣記載:默西亞必須受苦,第三天要從死者中復活;並且必須從耶路撒冷開始,因他的名向萬邦宣講悔改,以得罪之赦。你們就是這些事的見證人。」

A Reading from the Holy Gospel according to Luke 24:35-48

The disciples of Jesus recounted what had taken place along the way, and how they had come to recognize him in the breaking of bread.
While they were still speaking about this, he stood in their midst and said to them, “Peace be with you.” But they were startled and terrified and thought that they were seeing a ghost. Then he said to them, “Why are you troubled? And why do questions arise in your hearts? Look at my hands and my feet, that it is I myself. Touch me and see, because a ghost does not have flesh and bones as you can see I have.” And as he said this, he showed them his hands and his feet. While they were still incredulous for joy and were amazed, he asked them, “Have you anything here to eat?” They gave him a piece of baked fish; he took it and ate it in front of them.
He said to them, “These are my words that I spoke to you while I was still with you, that everything written about me in the law of Moses and in the prophets and psalms must be fulfilled.” Then he opened their minds to understand the Scriptures. And he said to them, “Thus it is written that the Christ would suffer and rise from the dead on the third day and that repentance, for the forgiveness of sins, would be preached in his name to all the nations, beginning from Jerusalem. You are witnesses of these things.”

A Reading from the Holy Gospel according to Luke 24:13-35

That very day, the first day of the week, two of Jesus’ disciples were going to a village seven miles from Jerusalem called Emmaus, and they were conversing about all the things that had occurred. And it happened that while they were conversing and debating, Jesus himself drew near and walked with them, but their eyes were prevented from recognizing him. He asked them, “What are you discussing as you walk along?” They stopped, looking downcast. One of them, named Cleopas, said to him in reply, “Are you the only visitor to Jerusalem who does not know of the things that have taken place there in these days?” And he replied to them, “What sort of things?” They said to him, “The things that happened to Jesus the Nazarene, who was a prophet mighty in deed and word before God and all the people, how our chief priests and rulers both handed him over to a sentence of death and crucified him. But we were hoping that he would be the one to redeem Israel; and besides all this, it is now the third day since this took place. Some women from our group, however, have astounded us: they were at the tomb early in the morning and did not find his Body; they came back and reported that they had indeed seen a vision of angels who announced that he was alive. Then some of those with us went to the tomb and found things just as the women had described, but him they did not see.” And he said to them, “Oh, how foolish you are! How slow of heart to believe all that the prophets spoke! Was it not necessary that the Christ should suffer these things and enter into his glory?” Then beginning with Moses and all the prophets, he interpreted to them what referred to him in all the Scriptures. As they approached the village to which they were going, he gave the impression that he was going on farther. But they urged him, “Stay with us, for it is nearly evening and the day is almost over.” So he went in to stay with them. And it happened that, while he was with them at table, he took bread, said the blessing, broke it, and gave it to them. With that their eyes were opened and they recognized him, but he vanished from their sight. Then they said to each other, “Were not our hearts burning within us while he spoke to us on the way and opened the Scriptures to us?” So they set out at once and returned to Jerusalem where they found gathered together the Eleven and those with them who were saying, “The Lord has truly been raised and has appeared to Simon!” Then the two recounted what had taken place on the way and how he was made known to them in the breaking of the bread.

忽然,耶穌迎上她們說:「願你們平安!」她們遂上前抱住耶穌的腳,朝拜了他。耶穌對她們說:「不要害怕!你們去,報告我的兄弟,叫他們往加里肋亞去,他們要在那裏看見我。」
當婦女離去的時候,有幾個看守的兵士來到城裏,把所發生的事,全告訴了司祭長。司祭長就同長老聚會商議之後,給了兵士許多錢,囑咐他們說:「你們就說:我們睡覺的時候,他的門徒夜間來了,把他偷去了。如果這事為總督聽見,有我們說好話,保管你們無事。」兵士拿了銀錢,就照他們所囑咐的做了。這消息就在猶太人間傳揚開了,一直到今天。

A Reading from the Holy Gospel according to Matthew 28:8-15

Mary Magdalene and the other Mary went away quickly from the tomb, fearful yet overjoyed, and ran to announce the news to his disciples. And behold, Jesus met them on their way and greeted them. They approached, embraced his feet, and did him homage. Then Jesus said to them, “Do not be afraid. Go tell my brothers to go to Galilee, and there they will see me.”
While they were going, some of the guard went into the city and told the chief priests all that had happened. The chief priests assembled with the elders and took counsel; then they gave a large sum of money to the soldiers, telling them, “You are to say, ‘His disciples came by night and stole him while we were asleep.’ And if this gets to the ears of the governor, we will satisfy him and keep you out of trouble.” The soldiers took the money and did as they were instructed. And this story has circulated among the Jews to the present day.
