神父講道 – 常年期第十四週 (週五) (2019年7月12日)

恭讀聖瑪竇福音 10:16-23

那時候,耶穌對他的門徒說:「看,我派遣你們好像羊進入狼群中,所以你們要機警如同蛇,純樸如同鴿子。你們要提防世人,因為他們要把你們交給公議會,要在他們的會堂裏鞭打你們;並且你們要為我的緣故,被帶到總督和君王前,對他們和外邦人作證。當人把你們交出時,你們不要思慮:怎麼說,或說什麼,因為在那時刻,自會賜給你們說什麼。因為說話的不是你們,而是你們父的聖神在你們內說話。兄弟要將兄弟,父親要將兒子置於死地,兒女也要起來反對父母,要將他們害死。你們為了我的名字,要為眾人所惱恨;唯獨堅持到底的,才可得救。但是,幾時人們在這城迫害你們,你們就逃往另一城去;我實在告訴你們:直到人子來到時,你們還未走完以色列的城邑。」

—上主的話。

(14th Week in Ordinary Time – Friday)

A Reading from the Holy Gospel according to Matthew 10:16-23

Jesus said to his Apostles: “Behold, I am sending you like sheep in the midst of wolves; so be shrewd as serpents and simple as doves. But beware of men, for they will hand you over to courts and scourge you in their synagogues, and you will be led before governors and kings for my sake as a witness before them and the pagans. When they hand you over, do not worry about how you are to speak or what you are to say. You will be given at that moment what you are to say. For it will not be you who speak but the Spirit of your Father speaking through you. Brother will hand over brother to death, and the father his child; children will rise up against parents and have them put to death. You will be hated by all because of my name, but whoever endures to the end will be saved. When they persecute you in one town, flee to another. Amen, I say to you, you will not finish the towns of Israel before the Son of Man comes.”

—The Gospel of the Lord.
