恭讀聖若望福音　11:45-56

那些來到瑪利亞那裏的猶太人，一看到耶穌所行的事，就有許多人信了他。他們中也有一些到法利塞人那裏去，把耶穌所行的，報告給他們。因此，司祭長和法利塞人召集了會議，說：「這人行了許多奇蹟，我們怎麼辦呢？如果讓他這樣，眾人都會信從他，羅馬人必要來，連我們的聖殿和民族都要除掉。」他們中有一個名叫蓋法的，正是那一年的大司祭，對他們說：「你們什麼都不懂，也不想想：叫一個人替百姓死，以免全民族滅亡：這為你們多麼有利。」這話不是由他自己說出來的，只因他是那年的大司祭，才預言了耶穌將為民族而死；不但為猶太民族，而且也是為使那四散的天主的兒女都聚集歸一。從那一天起，他們就議決要殺害耶穌。因此，耶穌不再公開地在猶太人中往來，卻從那裏往臨近荒野的地方去，來到一座名叫厄弗辣因的城，在那裏和他的門徒住下了。猶太人的逾越節臨近了，所以，許多人在逾越節前，從鄉間上了耶路撒冷，要聖潔自己。他們就尋找耶穌，並站在聖殿內，彼此談論說：「你們想什麼？他來不來過節呢？」

—上主的話。

A Reading from the Holy Gospel according to John 11:45-56

Many of the Jews who had come to Mary and seen what Jesus had done began to believe in him. But some of them went to the Pharisees and told them what Jesus had done. So the chief priests and the Pharisees convened the Sanhedrin and said, “What are we going to do? This man is performing many signs. If we leave him alone, all will believe in him, and the Romans will come and take away both our land and our nation.” But one of them, Caiaphas, who was high priest that year, said to them, “You know nothing, nor do you consider that it is better for you that one man should die instead of the people, so that the whole nation may not perish.” He did not say this on his own, but since he was high priest for that year, he prophesied that Jesus was going to die for the nation, and not only for the nation, but also to gather into one the dispersed children of God. So from that day on they planned to kill him.
So Jesus no longer walked about in public among the Jews, but he left for the region near the desert, to a town called Ephraim, and there he remained with his disciples.
Now the Passover of the Jews was near, and many went up from the country to Jerusalem before Passover to purify themselves. They looked for Jesus and said to one another as they were in the temple area, “What do you think? That he will not come to the feast?”

恭讀聖若望福音　10:31-42

那時候，猶太人又拿起石頭來，要砸死耶穌。耶穌向他們說：「我賴我父給你們顯示了許多善事，為了那一件，你們要砸死我呢？」猶太人回答說：「為了善事，我們不會砸死你，而是為了褻瀆的話，因為你是人，卻把你自己當作天主。」耶穌卻向他們說：「在你們的法律上不是記載著：『我說過：你們是神』麼？如果，那些蒙受天主話的，天主尚且稱他們為神——而經書是不能廢棄的——那麼，父所祝聖並派遣到世界上來的，因為說過：我是天主子，你們就說：你說褻瀆的話麼？假使我不作我父的工作，你們就不必信我，但若是我作了，你們縱然不肯信我，至少要信這些工作，如此你們必定認出父在我內，我在父內。」他們又企圖捉拿他，他卻從他們手中走脫了。
耶穌又回到約旦河對岸，若翰先前施洗的地方去了，並住在那裏。有許多人來到他那裏說：「若翰固然沒有行過神蹟，但若翰對於這人所說的一切，都是真的。」許多人就在那裏信了耶穌。

—上主的話。

A Reading from the Holy Gospel according to John 10:31-42

The Jews picked up rocks to stone Jesus. Jesus answered them, “I have shown you many good works from my Father. For which of these are you trying to stone me?” The Jews answered him, “We are not stoning you for a good work but for blasphemy. You, a man, are making yourself God.” Jesus answered them, “Is it not written in your law, ‘I said, ‘You are gods”‘? If it calls them gods to whom the word of God came, and Scripture cannot be set aside, can you say that the one whom the Father has consecrated and sent into the world blasphemes because I said, ‘I am the Son of God’? If I do not perform my Father’s works, do not believe me; but if I perform them, even if you do not believe me, believe the works, so that you may realize and understand that the Father is in me and I am in the Father.” Then they tried again to arrest him; but he escaped from their power.
He went back across the Jordan to the place where John first baptized, and there he remained. Many came to him and said, “John performed no sign, but everything John said about this man was true.” And many there began to believe in him.

—The Gospel of the Lord.
