神父講道 – 將臨期第三週 (星期四) (2021年12月16日)

恭讀聖路加福音 7:24-30

若翰的使者走了以後,耶穌就對群眾論若翰說:「你們出去到荒野是爲什麽呢?為看一枝被風搖曳的蘆葦嗎?你們出去到底是為看什麽?為看一位穿細軟衣服的人嗎?啊!那衣著華麗和生活奢侈的人是在王宮裏!你們出去究竟是為看什麽?為看一位先知嗎?是的,我告訴你們:而且他比先知還大!關於這人,經上記載說:『看,我派遣我的使者在你面前,他要在你前面預備你的道路。』我告訴你們:婦女所生的,沒有一個比若翰更大的;但在天主的國內最小的,也比他大。聽教的眾百姓和稅吏,都承認天主正義的要求而領受了若翰的洗禮。但法利塞人和法學士卻沒有受他的洗,在自己身上使天主的計劃作廢。

—上主的話。

(3rd Week of Advent – Thursday)

A Reading from the Holy Gospel according to Luke 7:24-30

When the messengers of John the Baptist had left, Jesus began to speak to the crowds about John. “What did you go out to the desert to see a reed swayed by the wind? Then what did you go out to see? Someone dressed in fine garments? Those who dress luxuriously and live sumptuously are found in royal palaces. Then what did you go out to see? A prophet? Yes, I tell you, and more than a prophet. This is the one about whom Scripture says:
Behold, I am sending my messenger ahead of you, he will prepare your way before you.
I tell you, among those born of women, no one is greater than John; yet the least in the Kingdom of God is greater than he.” (All the people who listened, including the tax collectors, who were baptized with the baptism of John, acknowledged the righteousness of God; but the Pharisees and scholars of the law, who were not baptized by him, rejected the plan of God for themselves.)

—The Gospel of the Lord.
