神父講道 – 四旬期第三週 (週二) (2020年3月17日)
恭讀聖瑪竇福音 18:21-35
那時，伯多祿前來對耶穌說：「主啊！若我的弟兄得罪了我，我該寬恕他多少次？直到七次嗎？」耶穌對他說：「我不對你說：直到七次，而是到七十個七次。為此天國好比一個君王，要同他的僕人算賬。他開始算賬的時候，給他送來了一個欠他一萬「塔冷通」的，因他沒有可還的，主人就下令，要他把自己和妻子兒女，以及他所有的一切，都變賣來還債。那僕人就俯伏在地叩拜他說：主啊！容忍我吧！一切我都要還給你。那僕人的主人就動心把他釋放了，並且也赦免了他的債。但那僕人正出去時，遇見了一個欠他一百「德納」的同伴，他就抓住他，扼住他的喉嚨說：還你欠的債！他的同伴就俯伏在地哀求他說：容忍我吧！我必還給你。可是他不願意，且把他下在監裡，直到他還清了欠債。他的同伴見到所發生的事，非常悲憤，遂去把所發生的一切告訴了主人。於是主人把那僕人叫來，對他說：惡僕！因為你哀求了我，我赦免了你那一切的債；難道你不該憐憫你的同伴，如同我憐憫了你一樣嗎？他的主人大怒，遂把他交給刑役，直到他還清所欠的一切。如果你們不各自從心裡寬恕自己的弟兄，我的天父也必要這樣對待你們。」

A Reading from the Holy Gospel according to Matthew 18:21-35
Peter approached Jesus and asked him, “Lord, if my brother sins against me, how often must I forgive him? As many as seven times?” Jesus answered, “I say to you, not seven times but seventy-seven times. That is why the Kingdom of heaven may be likened to a king who decided to settle accounts with his servants. When he began the accounting, a debtor was brought before him who owed him a huge amount. Since he had no way of paying it back, his master ordered him to be sold, along with his wife, his children, and all his property, in payment of the debt. At that, the servant fell down, did him homage, and said, ‘Be patient with me, and I will pay you back in full.’ Moved with compassion the master of that servant let him go and forgave him the loan. When that servant had left, he found one of his fellow servants who owed him a much smaller amount. He seized him and started to choke him, demanding, ‘Pay back what you owe.’ Falling to his knees, his fellow servant begged him, ‘Be patient with me, and I will pay you back.’ But he refused. Instead, he had him put in prison until he paid back the debt. Now when his fellow servants saw what had happened, they were deeply disturbed, and went to their master and reported the whole affair. His master summoned him and said to him, ‘You wicked servant! I forgave you your entire debt because you begged me to. Should you not have had pity on your fellow servant, as I had pity on you?’ Then in anger his master handed him over to the torturers until he should pay back the whole debt. So will my heavenly Father do to you, unless each of you forgives your brother from your heart.”
—The Gospel of the Lord.
