神父講道 – 聖母進教之佑 (紀念) (週五) (2019年5月24日)

恭讀聖若望福音 2:1-11

第三天,在加里肋亞加納有婚宴,耶穌的母親也在那裡;耶穌和他的門徒也被請去赴婚宴。
酒不夠了,耶穌的母親向耶穌說:「他們沒有酒了。」耶穌回答說:「女人,這於我和你有什麼關係?我的時刻尚未來到。」
他的母親給僕役說:「他無論吩咐你們什麼,你們就做什麼。」在那裡放著六口石缸,是為猶太人取潔禮用的;每口可容納兩三桶水。耶穌向僕役說:「你們把缸灌滿水吧!」他們就灌滿了,直到缸口。然後,耶穌給他們說:「現在你們舀出來,送給司席!」他們便送去了。
司席一嘗已變成酒的水——他並不知道是從那裡來的;舀水的僕役卻知道——司席便叫了新郎來,向他說:「人人都先擺上好酒,當客人都喝夠了,才擺上次等的;你卻把好酒保留到現在。」
這是耶穌所行的第一個神蹟,是在加里肋亞加納行的;他顯示了自己的光榮,他的門徒就信從了他。

A Reading from the Holy Gospel according to John 2:1-11

On the third day there was a wedding* in Cana in Galilee, and the mother of Jesus was there. Jesus and his disciples were also invited to the wedding. When the wine ran short, the mother of Jesus said to him, “They have no wine.” [And] Jesus said to her, “Woman, how does your concern affect me? My hour has not yet come.” His mother said to the servers, “Do whatever he tells you.” Now there were six stone water jars there for Jewish ceremonial washings, each holding twenty to thirty gallons. Jesus told them, “Fill the jars with water.” So they filled them to the brim. Then he told them, “Draw some out now and take it to the headwaiter.” So they took it. And when the headwaiter tasted the water that had become wine, without knowing where it came from (although the servers who had drawn the water knew), the headwaiter called the bridegroom and said to him, “Everyone serves good wine first, and then when people have drunk freely, an inferior one; but you have kept the good wine until now.” Jesus did this as the beginning of his signs in Cana in Galilee and so revealed his glory, and his disciples began to believe in him.
