恭讀聖馬爾谷福音 2:1-12

過了一些日子,耶穌又進了葛法翁。人聽說他在家裏,就聚來了許多人,以致連門前也不能再容納,他就對他們講道。那時,有人帶著一個癱子到他這裏來,由四個人抬著;但因為人眾多,不能送到他面前,就在耶穌所在之處,拆開了房頂;拆穿之後,把床縋下去,癱子在上面躺著。耶穌一見他們的信心,就對癱子說:「孩子!你的罪赦了。」那時,有幾個經師坐在那裏,心裏忖度說,「怎麼這人這樣說話呢?他說了褻瀆的話;除了天主一個外,誰能赦罪呢?」耶穌憑自己的神力,即刻認透了他們私自這樣忖度,遂向他們說:「你們心中為什麼這樣忖度呢?什麼比較容易呢?是對癱子說:你的罪赦了;還是說:起來,拿你的床走?但為叫你們知道:人子在地上有赦罪的權柄——遂對癱子說:我給你說:起來,拿你的床,回家去吧!」那人遂起來,立刻拿起床,當著眾人的面走出去了,以致眾人大為驚愕,遂光榮天主說:「我們從未見過這樣的事!」

A Reading from the Holy Gospel according to Mark 2:1-12

When Jesus returned to Capernaum after some days, it became known that he was at home. Many gathered together so that there was no longer room for them, not even around the door, and he preached the word to them. They came bringing to him a paralytic carried by four men. Unable to get near Jesus because of the crowd, they opened up the roof above him. After they had broken through, they let down the mat on which the paralytic was lying. When Jesus saw their faith, he said to him, “Child, your sins are forgiven.” Now some of the scribes were sitting there asking themselves, “Why does this man speak that way? He is blaspheming. Who but God alone can forgive sins?” Jesus immediately knew in his mind what they were thinking to themselves, so he said, “Why are you thinking such things in your hearts? Which is easier, to say to the paralytic, ‘Your sins are forgiven,’ or to say, ‘Rise, pick up your mat and walk’? But that you may know that the Son of Man has authority to forgive sins on earth” –he said to the paralytic, “I say to you, rise, pick up your mat, and go home.” He rose, picked up his mat at once, and went away in the sight of everyone. They were all astounded and glorified God, saying, “We have never seen anything like this.”
