神父講道 – 我們的主、耶穌基督、普世君王 (節日) (2022年11月20日)

恭讀聖路加福音 23:35-43

耶穌被釘在十字架上時,民眾站著觀望;首領們嗤笑耶穌,說:「別人,他救了;如果這人是天主的受傅者、被選者,就救他自己吧!」
兵士也戲弄耶穌,前來把醋遞給他,說:「如果你是猶太人的君王,就救你自己吧!」在他頭上,還有一塊用希臘文、拉丁文及希伯來文,寫的罪狀牌:「這是猶太人的君王。」
懸掛著的凶犯中,有一個侮辱耶穌說:「你不是默西亞嗎?救救你自己和我們吧!」
另一個凶犯,應聲責斥他說:「你既然受著同樣的刑罰,連天主你都不怕嗎?這刑罰對我們是理所當然的,因為我們所受的,是罪有應得;但是,這個人,從未做過什麼不正當的事。」隨後說:「耶穌,當你來為王時,請你紀念我!」
耶穌給他說:「我實在告訴你:今天,你就要與我一同在樂園裡。」

(34th Sunday in Ordinary Time – The Solemnity of Our Lord Jesus Christ, King of the Universe)

A Reading from the Holy Gospel according to Luke 23:35-43

The rulers sneered at Jesus and said, “He saved others, let him save himself if he is the chosen one, the Christ of God.” Even the soldiers jeered at him. As they approached to offer him wine they called out, “If you are King of the Jews, save yourself.” Above him there was an inscription that read, “This is the King of the Jews.”
Now one of the criminals hanging there reviled Jesus, saying, “Are you not the Christ? Save yourself and us.” The other, however, rebuking him, said in reply, “Have you no fear of God, for you are subject to the same condemnation? And indeed, we have been condemned justly, for the sentence we received corresponds to our crimes, but this man has done nothing criminal.” Then he said, “Jesus, remember me when you come into your kingdom.” He replied to him, “Amen, I say to you, today you will be with me in Paradise.”

恭讀聖路加福音 20:27-40

那時候,否認復活的撒杜塞人中,有幾個前來問耶穌說:「師傅,梅瑟給我們寫道:如果一個人的哥哥死了,遺下妻子而沒有子嗣,他的弟弟應娶他的妻子,給他哥哥立嗣。曾有兄弟七人,第一個娶了妻子,沒有嗣子就死了。第二個及第三個都娶過她為妻。七個人都是如此:沒有留下子嗣就死了。最後,連那婦人也死了。那麼,在復活的時候,這婦人是他們那一個的妻子?因為他們七個人都娶過她為妻。」耶穌對他們說:「今世之子也娶也嫁;但那堪得來世,及堪當由死者中復活的人,他們也不娶,也不嫁;甚至他們也不能再死,因為他們相似天使;他們既是復活之子,也就是天主之子。至於死者復活,梅瑟已在荊棘篇中指明了:他稱上主為亞巴郎的天主,依撒格的天主及雅各伯的天主。他不是死人的,而是活人的天主:所有的人為他都是生活的。」有幾個經師中應聲說:「師傅!你說得好。」從此,他們再不敢質問他什麼了。

A Reading from the Holy Gospel according to Luke 20:27-40

Some Sadducees, those who deny that there is a resurrection, came forward and put this question to Jesus, saying, “Teacher, Moses wrote for us, If someone’s brother dies leaving a wife but no child, his brother must take the wife and raise up descendants for his brother. Now there were seven brothers; the first married a woman but died childless. Then the second and the third married her, and likewise all the seven died childless. Finally the woman also died. Now at the resurrection whose wife will that woman be? For all seven had been married to her.” Jesus said to them, “The children of this age marry and remarry; but those who are deemed worthy to attain to the coming age and to the resurrection of the dead neither marry nor are given in marriage. They can no longer die, for they are like angels; and they are the children of God because they are the ones who will rise. That the dead will rise even Moses made known in the passage about the bush, when he called ‘Lord’ the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob; and he is not God of the dead, but of the living, for to him all are alive.” Some of the scribes said in reply, “Teacher, you have answered well.” And they no longer dared to ask him anything.

A Reading from the Holy Gospel according to Luke 19:45-48

Jesus entered the temple area and proceeded to drive out those who were selling things, saying to them, “It is written, My house shall be a house of prayer, but you have made it a den of thieves.” And every day he was teaching in the temple area. The chief priests, the scribes, and the leaders of the people, meanwhile, were seeking to put him to death, but they could find no way to accomplish their purpose because all the people were hanging on his words.

耶穌臨近耶路撒冷的時候,望見京城,便為她哀哭說:「恨不得在這一天,你也知道有關你平安的事;但這事如今在你眼前是隱藏的。的確,日子將臨於你。你的仇敵要在你四周築起壁壘,包圍你,四面圍困你;又要消滅你,及在你城牆內的子民;在你內決不留一塊石頭在另一塊石頭上,因為你沒有認出天主眷顧你的時機。」

A Reading from the Holy Gospel according to Luke 19:41-44

As Jesus drew near Jerusalem, he saw the city and wept over it, saying, “If this day you only knew what makes for peace– but now it is hidden from your eyes. For the days are coming upon you when your enemies will raise a palisade against you; they will encircle you and hem you in on all sides. They will smash you to the ground and your children within you, and they will not leave one stone upon another within you because you did not recognize the time of your visitation.”

當眾人聽耶穌講話的時候,耶穌因為已臨近耶路撒冷,而且他們都以為天主的國快要出現,遂設了一個比喻說:「有一個貴人起身到遠方去,為取得了王位再回來。他將自己的十個僕人叫來,交給他們十個「米納」(銀幣),並囑咐說:你們拿去做生意,直到我回來。他本國的人一向懷恨他,遂在他後面派代表去說:我們不願意這人為王統治我們。這貴人得了王位歸來以後,便傳召那些領了他錢的僕人,想知道每個人做生意賺了多少。第一個前來說:主!你的那個「米納」(銀幣)賺了十個「米納」(銀幣)。主人對他說:好,善僕!你既然在小事上忠信,你要有權掌管十座城。第二個前來說:主!你的那個「米納」(銀幣)賺了五個「米納」(銀幣)。主人也對這人說:你也要掌管五座城。另一個前來說:主!看,你那個「米納」(銀幣),我收存在手巾裏。我一向害怕你,因為你是一個嚴厲的人:你沒有存放的,也要提取;沒有下種的,也要收割。主人向他說:惡僕!我就憑你的口供定你的罪。你不是知道我是個嚴厲的人,沒有存放的,也要提取;沒有下種的,也要收割的嗎?為什麼你不把我的錢存於錢莊,待我回來時,我可以連本帶利取出來。主人便向侍立左右的人說:你們把他那個「米納」(銀幣)奪過來,給那有十個的。他們向他說:主!他已有十個「米納」(銀幣)了。我告訴你們:凡是有的,還要給他;那沒有的,連他所有的,也要從他奪去。至於那些敵對我,不願意我作他們君王的人,你們把他們押到這裏,在我面前殺掉。」
耶穌說了這些話,就領頭前行,上耶路撒冷去。

(33rd Week in Ordinary Time – Wednesday)

A Reading from the Holy Gospel according to Luke 19:11-28

While people were listening to Jesus speak, he proceeded to tell a parable because he was near Jerusalem and they thought that the Kingdom of God would appear there immediately. So he said, “A nobleman went off to a distant country to obtain the kingship for himself and then to return. He called ten of his servants and gave them ten gold coins and told them, ‘Engage in trade with these until I return.’ His fellow citizens, however, despised him and sent a delegation after him to announce, ‘We do not want this man to be our king.’ But when he returned after obtaining the kingship, he had the servants called, to whom he had given the money, to learn what they had gained by trading. The first came forward and said, ‘Sir, your gold coin has earned ten additional ones.’ He replied, ‘Well done, good servant! You have been faithful in this very small matter; take charge of ten cities.’ Then the second came and reported, ‘Your gold coin, sir, has earned five more.’ And to this servant too he said, ‘You, take charge of five cities.’ Then the other servant came and said, ‘Sir, here is your gold coin; I kept it stored away in a handkerchief, for I was afraid of you, because you are a demanding man; you take up what you did not lay down and you harvest what you did not plant.’ He said to him, ‘With your own words I shall condemn you, you wicked servant. You knew I was a demanding man, taking up what I did not lay down and harvesting what I did not plant; why did you not put my money in a bank? Then on my return I would have collected it with interest.’ And to those standing by he said, ‘Take the gold coin from him and give it to the servant who has ten.’ But they said to him, ‘Sir, he has ten gold coins.’ He replied, ‘I tell you, to everyone who has, more will be given, but from the one who has not, even what he has will be taken away. Now as for those enemies of mine who did not want me as their king, bring them here and slay them before me.’”
After he had said this, he proceeded on his journey up to Jerusalem.

恭讀聖路加福音 19:1-10

那時候,耶穌進了耶里哥,正經過的時候,有一個人,名叫匝凱,他原是稅吏長,是個富有的人。他想要看看耶穌是什麼人;但由於人多,不能看見,因為他身材短小,於是他往前奔跑,攀上了一棵野桑樹,要看看耶穌,因為耶穌就要從那裏經過。耶穌來到那地方,抬頭一看,對他說:「匝凱!你快下來!因為我今天必須住在你家中。」他便趕快下來,喜悅地款待耶穌。眾人見了,都竊竊私議說:「他竟到有罪的人那裏投宿。」匝凱站起來對主說:「主,你看,我把我財物的一半施捨給窮人;我如果欺騙過誰,我就以四倍賠償。」耶穌對他說:「今天救恩臨到了這一家,因為他也是亞巴郎之子。因為人子來,是為尋找及拯救迷失了的人。」

(33rd Week in Ordinary Time – Tuesday)

A Reading from the Holy Gospel according to Luke 19:1-10

At that time Jesus came to Jericho and intended to pass through the town. Now a man there named Zacchaeus, who was a chief tax collector and also a wealthy man, was seeking to see who Jesus was; but he could not see him because of the crowd, for he was short in stature. So he ran ahead and climbed a sycamore tree in order to see Jesus, who was about to pass that way. When he reached the place, Jesus looked up and said, “Zacchaeus, come down quickly, for today I must stay at your house.” And he came down quickly and received him with joy. When they saw this, they began to grumble, saying, “He has gone to stay at the house of a sinner.” But Zacchaeus stood there and said to the Lord, “Behold, half of my possessions, Lord, I shall give to the poor, and if I have extorted anything from anyone I shall repay it four times over.” And Jesus said to him, “Today salvation has come to this house because this man too is a descendant of Abraham. For the Son of Man has come to seek and to save what was lost.”

As Jesus approached Jericho a blind man was sitting by the roadside begging, and hearing a crowd going by, he inquired what was happening. They told him, “Jesus of Nazareth is passing by.” He shouted, “Jesus, Son of David, have pity on me!” The people walking in front rebuked him, telling him to be silent, but he kept calling out all the more, “Son of David, have pity on me!” Then Jesus stopped and ordered that he be brought to him; and when he came near, Jesus asked him, “What do you want me to do for you?” He replied, “Lord, please let me see.” Jesus told him, “Have sight; your faith has saved you.” He immediately received his sight and followed him, giving glory to God. When they saw this, all the people gave praise to God.

恭讀聖路加福音 21:5-19

那時候,有些人正談論聖殿是用美麗的石頭,及還願的獻禮裝飾的;耶穌說:「你們所看見的這一切,當那日子一到,便沒有一塊石頭,留在另一塊石頭上,而不被拆毀的。」
門徒於是問:「師父,那麼,什麼時候要發生這些事?這些事要發生的時候,將有什麼先兆?」
耶穌說:「你們要謹慎,不要受欺騙!因為將有許多人,假冒我的名字而來,說:我就是(默西亞);又說:時期近了。你們切不可跟隨他們。你們幾時聽見戰爭及叛亂,不要驚惶!因為,這些事必須先要發生,但還不即刻是結局。」
耶穌於是又給門徒說:「民族要起來攻擊民族,國家攻擊國家;將有大地震,到處有飢荒及瘟疫;將出現可怖的異象,天上要有巨大的凶兆。
「但是,這一切事以前,你們為了我的名字,要被拘捕和迫害;人們要把你們解送到會堂,並關進監獄;且押送到君王及總督之前,為給你們一個作見證的機會。
「所以,你們心中要鎮定,不要事先考慮申辯,因為我要給你們口才和明智,是你們一切仇敵,所不能抵抗及辯駁的。
「你們要被父母、兄弟、親戚及朋友出賣;你們中有一些,要被殺死。你們要為我的名字,受眾人憎恨;但是,連你們的一根頭髮,也不會失落。你們要憑著堅忍,保全你們的靈魂。」

A Reading from the Holy Gospel according to Luke 21:5-19

While some people were speaking about how the temple was adorned with costly stones and votive offerings, Jesus said, “All that you see here– the days will come when there will not be left a stone upon another stone that will not be thrown down.”
Then they asked him, “Teacher, when will this happen? And what sign will there be when all these things are about to happen?” He answered, “See that you not be deceived, for many will come in my name, saying, ‘I am he,’ and ‘The time has come.’ Do not follow them! When you hear of wars and insurrections, do not be terrified; for such things must happen first, but it will not immediately be the end.” Then he said to them, “Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be powerful earthquakes, famines, and plagues from place to place; and awesome sights and mighty signs will come from the sky.
“Before all this happens, however, they will seize and persecute you, they will hand you over to the synagogues and to prisons, and they will have you led before kings and governors because of my name. It will lead to your giving testimony. Remember, you are not to prepare your defense beforehand, for I myself shall give you a wisdom in speaking that all your adversaries will be powerless to resist or refute. You will even be handed over by parents, brothers, relatives, and friends, and they will put some of you to death. You will be hated by all because of my name, but not a hair on your head will be destroyed. By your perseverance you will secure your lives.”

那時候,耶穌給門徒設了一個比喻,論及人應當時常祈禱,不要灰心。他說:「某城中曾有一個判官不敬畏天主,也不敬重人。在那城中另有一個寡婦,常去見他說:請你制裁我的對頭,為我伸寃吧!判官多次不肯;以後想道:我雖不敬畏天主,也不敬重人,只是因為這個寡婦常來煩擾我,我要為她伸寃,免得她不斷的來糾纏我。於是主說:你們聽聽這個不義的判官說了什麼!天主聽到他所召選的人日夜呼籲,能不為他們伸寃嗎?他會延遲俯聽他們嗎?我告訴你們:他必要快快為他們伸寃,但是,人子來臨時,能在世上找到這樣的信德嗎?」

(Memorial of Saint Josaphat, Bishop and Martyr)

A Reading from the Holy Gospel according to Luke 18:1-8

Jesus told his disciples a parable about the necessity for them to pray always without becoming weary. He said, “There was a judge in a certain town who neither feared God nor respected any human being. And a widow in that town used to come to him and say, ‘Render a just decision for me against my adversary.’ For a long time the judge was unwilling, but eventually he thought, ‘While it is true that I neither fear God nor respect any human being, because this widow keeps bothering me I shall deliver a just decision for her lest she finally come and strike me.’” The Lord said, “Pay attention to what the dishonest judge says. Will not God then secure the rights of his chosen ones who call out to him day and night? Will he be slow to answer them? I tell you, he will see to it that justice is done for them speedily. But when the Son of Man comes, will he find faith on earth?”

那時候,耶穌向門徒說:「在諾厄的日子裏怎樣,在人子的日子裏也要怎樣:那時,人們吃喝婚嫁,直到諾厄進入方舟的那天,洪水來了,消滅了所有的人。又如在羅特的日子裏,人們吃喝買賣,耕種建造,但在羅特離開索多瑪的那一天,火及硫磺自天降下,消滅了所有的人:在人子顯現的日子裏,也要這樣。
「在那一日,那在屋頂上的,不要下來拿取在屋裏的器具;那在田裏的,也同樣不要回家。你們要記得羅特的妻子!不論誰,若想保全自己的性命,必要喪失性命;凡喪失性命的,必要保存性命。我告訴你們:在這一夜,兩個人同在一張床上,一個被接去,而一個被遺棄;兩個女人一起推磨,一個被接去,而一個被遺棄。」門徒問耶穌說:「主,在那裏發生呢?」耶穌回答說:「那裏有屍體,老鷹就聚集在那裏。」

A Reading from the Holy Gospel according to Luke 17:26-37

(Memorial of Saint Martin of Tours, Bishop)

Jesus said to his disciples: “As it was in the days of Noah, so it will be in the days of the Son of Man; they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage up to the day that Noah entered the ark, and the flood came and destroyed them all. Similarly, as it was in the days of Lot: they were eating, drinking, buying, selling, planting, building; on the day when Lot left Sodom, fire and brimstone rained from the sky to destroy them all. So it will be on the day the Son of Man is revealed. On that day, someone who is on the housetop and whose belongings are in the house must not go down to get them, and likewise one in the field must not return to what was left behind. Remember the wife of Lot. Whoever seeks to preserve his life will lose it, but whoever loses it will save it. I tell you, on that night there will be two people in one bed; one will be taken, the other left. And there will be two women grinding meal together; one will be taken, the other left.” They said to him in reply, “Where, Lord?” He said to them, “Where the body is, there also the vultures will gather.”

—The Gospel of the Lord.
