神父講道 – 常年期第二十一主日 (2021年8月22日)

恭讀聖若望福音 6:60-69

那時候,耶穌的門徒中,有許多人聽了耶穌的講話,便說:「這話生硬,誰能聽得下去呢?」
耶穌自知他的門徒,對他這番話,竊竊私議,便對他們說:「這話使你們起反感嗎?那麼,如果你們看到人子,升到他先前所在的地方,又將怎樣呢?使人生活的是神,肉一無所用;我對你們所講的話,就是神,就是生命。但你們中有些人,卻不相信。」原來,耶穌從開始,就知道那些人不信,和誰要出賣他。
所以他又說:「為此,我對你們說過:除非蒙父恩賜的,誰也不能到我這裡來。」
從此,他的門徒中,有許多人離開了他,不再同他往來。
於是,耶穌對那十二人說:「難道你們也要走嗎?」
西滿伯多祿回答說:「主!唯你有永生的話,我們去投奔誰呢?我們相信,而且知道:你是天主的聖者。」

A Reading from the Holy Gospel according to John 6:60-69

Many of Jesus’ disciples who were listening said, “This saying is hard; who can accept it?” Since Jesus knew that his disciples were murmuring about this, he said to them, “Does this shock you? What if you were to see the Son of Man ascending to where he was before? It is the spirit that gives life, while the flesh is of no avail. The words I have spoken to you are Spirit and life. But there are some of you who do not believe.” Jesus knew from the beginning the ones who would not believe and the one who would betray him. And he said, “For this reason I have told you that no one can come to me unless it is granted him by my Father.”
As a result of this, many of his disciples returned to their former way of life and no longer accompanied him. Jesus then said to the Twelve, “Do you also want to leave?” Simon Peter answered him, “Master, to whom shall we go? You have the words of eternal life. We have come to believe and are convinced that you are the Holy One of God.”
