恭讀聖馬爾谷福音 8:34-9:1

那時候,耶穌召集群眾和門徒來,對他們說:「誰若願意跟隨我,該棄絕自己,背著自己的十字架,跟隨我,因為誰若願意救自己的性命,必要喪失性命;但誰若為我和福音的緣故,喪失自己性命,必要救得性命。人縱然賺得了全世界而賠上自己的靈魂,為他有什麼益處?人還能拿什麼作為自己靈魂的代價?誰若在這淫亂和罪惡的世代中,以我和我的話為恥,將來人子在他父的光榮中,同諸聖天使降來時,也要以他為恥。」
耶穌又對他們說:「我實在告訴你們:站在這裏的人中,就有幾個在未嘗到死味以前,必要看見天主的國帶著威能降來。」

A Reading from the Holy Gospel according to Mark 8:34-9:1

Jesus summoned the crowd with his disciples and said to them, “Whoever wishes to come after me must deny himself, take up his cross, and follow me. For whoever wishes to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for my sake and that of the Gospel will save it. What profit is there for one to gain the whole world and forfeit his life? What could one give in exchange for his life? Whoever is ashamed of me and of my words in this faithless and sinful generation, the Son of Man will be ashamed of when he comes in his Father’s glory with the holy angels.”
He also said to them, “Amen, I say to you, there are some standing here who will not taste death until they see that the Kingdom of God has come in power.”
