恭讀聖馬爾谷福音 3:22-30

那時候,從耶路撒冷下來的經師們說:「耶穌附有貝耳則步。」又說「他賴魔王驅魔。」耶穌遂把他們叫來,用比喻向他們說:「撒殫怎能驅逐撒殫呢?一國若自相紛爭,那國就不能存立;一家若自相紛爭,那家也將不能存立。撒殫若起來自相攻擊紛爭,也就不能存立,必要滅亡。決沒有人能進入壯士的家,搶劫他的家具的,除非先把那壯士捆起來,然後搶劫他的家。我實在告訴你們:世人的一切罪惡,連說的任何褻瀆的話,都可得赦免;但誰若褻瀆了聖神,永遠不得赦免,而是永久罪惡的犯人。」耶穌說這話,是因為他們說:「他附有邪魔。」

A Reading from the Holy Gospel according to Mark 3:22-30

The scribes who had come from Jerusalem said of Jesus, “He is possessed by Beelzebul,” and “By the prince of demons he drives out demons.”
Summoning them, he began to speak to them in parables, “How can Satan drive out Satan? If a kingdom is divided against itself, that kingdom cannot stand. And if a house is divided against itself, that house will not be able to stand. And if Satan has risen up against himself and is divided, he cannot stand; that is the end of him. But no one can enter a strong man’s house to plunder his property unless he first ties up the strong man. Then he can plunder his house. Amen, I say to you, all sins and all blasphemies that people utter will be forgiven them. But whoever blasphemes against the Holy Spirit will never have forgiveness, but is guilty of an everlasting sin.” For they had said, “He has an unclean spirit.”
