恭讀聖瑪竇福音 7:21-29

那時候,耶穌對他的門徒說:「不是凡向我說『主啊!主啊!』的人,就能進天國;而是那承行我在天之父旨意的人,才能進天國。到那一天,有很多人要向我說:主啊!主啊!我們不是因你的名字說過預言,因你的名字驅過魔鬼,因你的名字行過許多奇蹟嗎?那時,我必要向他們聲明說:我從來不認識你們;你們這些作惡的人,離開我吧!
「所以,凡聽了我這些話而實行的,就好像一個聰明的人,把自己的房屋建在磐石上:雨淋,水沖,風吹,襲擊那座房屋,它並不坍塌,因為基礎是建在磐石上。凡聽了我這些話而不實行的,就好像一個愚昧的人,把自己的房屋建在沙土上:雨淋,水沖,風吹,襲擊那座房屋,它就坍塌了,且坍塌得很慘。」
耶穌講完了這些話,群眾都驚奇他的教訓,因為他教訓他們,正像有權威的人,不像他們的經師。

A Reading from the Holy Gospel according to Matthew 7:21-29

Jesus said to his disciples: “Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the Kingdom of heaven, but only the one who does the will of my Father in heaven. Many will say to me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name? Did we not drive out demons in your name? Did we not do mighty deeds in your name?’ Then I will declare to them solemnly, ‘I never knew you. Depart from me, you evildoers.’
“Everyone who listens to these words of mine and acts on them will be like a wise man who built his house on rock. The rain fell, the floods came, and the winds blew and buffeted the house. But it did not collapse; it had been set solidly on rock. And everyone who listens to these words of mine but does not act on them will be like a fool who built his house on sand. The rain fell, the floods came, and the winds blew and buffeted the house. And it collapsed and was completely ruined.”
When Jesus finished these words, the crowds were astonished at his teaching, for he taught them as one having authority, and not as their scribes.
