那時候,猶太人又拿起石頭來,要砸死耶穌。耶穌向他們說:「我賴我父給你們顯示了許多善事,為了那一件,你們要砸死我呢?」猶太人回答說:「為了善事,我們不會砸死你,而是為了褻瀆的話,因為你是人,卻把你自己當作天主。」耶穌卻向他們說:「在你們的法律上不是記載著:『我說過:你們是神』麼?如果,那些蒙受天主話的,天主尚且稱他們為神——而經書是不能廢棄的——那麼,父所祝聖並派遣到世界上來的,因為說過:我是天主子,你們就說:你說褻瀆的話麼?假使我不作我父的工作,你們就不必信我,但若是我作了,你們縱然不肯信我,至少要信這些工作,如此你們必定認出父在我內,我在父內。」他們又企圖捉拿他,他卻從他們手中走脫了。
耶穌又回到約旦河對岸,若翰先前施洗的地方去了,並住在那裏。有許多人來到他那裏說:「若翰固然沒有行過神蹟,但若翰對於這人所說的一切,都是真的。」許多人就在那裏信了耶穌。

A Reading from the Holy Gospel according to John 10:31-42

The Jews picked up rocks to stone Jesus. Jesus answered them, “I have shown you many good works from my Father. For which of these are you trying to stone me?” The Jews answered him, “We are not stoning you for a good work but for blasphemy. You, a man, are making yourself God.” Jesus answered them, “Is it not written in your law, ‘I said, ‘You are gods”‘? If it calls them gods to whom the word of God came, and Scripture cannot be set aside, can you say that the one whom the Father has consecrated and sent into the world blasphemes because I said, ‘I am the Son of God’? If I do not perform my Father’s works, do not believe me; but if I perform them, even if you do not believe me, believe the works, so that you may realize and understand that the Father is in me and I am in the Father.” Then they tried again to arrest him; but he escaped from their power.
He went back across the Jordan to the place where John first baptized, and there he remained. Many came to him and said, “John performed no sign, but everything John said about this man was true.” And many there began to believe in him.

那時候,耶穌對猶太人說:「我實實在在告訴你們:誰如果遵行我的話,永遠見不到死亡。」猶太人向他說:「現在我們知道:你附有魔鬼;亞巴郎和先知都死了;你卻說:誰如果遵行我的話,永遠嘗不到死味。難道你比我們的父親亞巴郎還大嗎?他死了,先知們也死了。你把你自己當作什麼人呢?」耶穌答覆說:「我如果光榮我自己,我的光榮算不了什麼;那光榮我的,是我的父,就是你們所稱的「我們的天主」。你們不認識他,我卻認識他;我若說我不認識他,我便像你們一樣是個撒謊者;但是,我認識他,也遵守他的話。你們的父親亞巴郎曾歡欣喜樂地企望看到我的日子,他看見了,極其高興。」猶太人就對他說:「你還沒有五十歲,就見過亞巴郎嗎?」耶穌回答說:「我實實在在告訴你們:在亞巴郎出現以前,我就有。」他們就拿起石頭來要向他投去,耶穌卻隱沒了,從聖殿出去了。

A Reading from the Holy Gospel according to John 8:51-59

Jesus said to the Jews: “Amen, amen, I say to you, whoever keeps my word will never see death.” So the Jews said to him, “Now we are sure that you are possessed. Abraham died, as did the prophets, yet you say, ‘Whoever keeps my word will never taste death.’ Are you greater than our father Abraham, who died? Or the prophets, who died? Who do you make yourself out to be?” Jesus answered, “If I glorify myself, my glory is worth nothing; but it is my Father who glorifies me, of whom you say, ‘He is our God.’ You do not know him, but I know him. And if I should say that I do not know him, I would be like you a liar. But I do know him and I keep his word. Abraham your father rejoiced to see my day; he saw it and was glad.” So the Jews said to him, “You are not yet fifty years old and you have seen Abraham?” Jesus said to them, “Amen, amen, I say to you, before Abraham came to be, I AM.” So they picked up stones to throw at him; but Jesus hid and went out of the temple area.

那時候,耶穌對那些信他的猶太人說:「你們如果固守我的話,就確是我的門徒,也會認識真理,而真理必會使你們獲得自由。」他們回答說:「我們是亞巴郎的後裔,從未給任何人做過奴隸;怎麼你說:你們要成為自由的呢?」耶穌答覆說:「我實實在在告訴你們:凡是犯罪的,就是罪惡的奴隸。奴隸不能永遠住在家裏,兒子卻永遠居住。那麼,如果天主子使你們自由了,你們的確是自由的。我知道你們是亞巴郎的後裔,你們卻圖謀殺害我,因為你們容納不下我的話。我說的,是我在父那裏所看見的;而你們行的,卻是從你們父親那裏學習的。」他們回答說:「我們的父親是亞巴郎。」耶穌對他們說:「假如你們是亞巴郎的子女,你們就該作亞巴郎所作的事。如今,你們竟然圖謀殺害我——這個給你們說出從天主那裏所聽到的真理的人——亞巴郎卻沒有作過這樣的事。你們正作你們父親的事業。」他們向他說:「我們不是由淫亂生的,我們只有一個父親:就是天主。」耶穌回答說:「假如天主是你們的父親,你們必愛我,因為我是由天主出發而來的,並不是由我自己來的,而是那一位派遣了我。」

(5th Week of Lent – Wednesday)

A Reading from the Holy Gospel according to John 8:31-42

Jesus said to those Jews who believed in him, “If you remain in my word, you will truly be my disciples, and you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.” They answered him, “We are descendants of Abraham and have never been enslaved to anyone. How can you say, ‘You will become free’?” Jesus answered them, “Amen, amen, I say to you, everyone who commits sin is a slave of sin. A slave does not remain in a household forever, but a son always remains. So if the Son frees you, then you will truly be free. I know that you are descendants of Abraham. But you are trying to kill me, because my word has no room among you. I tell you what I have seen in the Father’s presence; then do what you have heard from the Father.”
They answered and said to him, “Our father is Abraham.” Jesus said to them, “If you were Abraham’s children, you would be doing the works of Abraham. But now you are trying to kill me, a man who has told you the truth that I heard from God; Abraham did not do this. You are doing the works of your father!” So they said to him, “We were not born of fornication. We have one Father, God.” Jesus said to them, “If God were your Father, you would love me, for I came from God and am here; I did not come on my own, but he sent me.”

那時,耶穌向法利塞人說:「我去了,你們要尋找我,你們必要死在你們的罪惡中;我所去的地方,你們不能去。」猶太人便說:「他說:我所去的地方,你們不能去;莫非他要自殺嗎?」耶穌向他們說:「你們是出於下,我卻是出於上;你們是出於這個世界,我卻不是出於這個世界。因此,我對你們說過:你們要死在你們的罪惡中。的確,你們若不相信我就是那一位,你們必要死在你們的罪惡中。」於是,他們問耶穌說:「你到底是誰?」耶穌回答他們說:「難道從起初我沒有對你們講論過嗎?對你們我有許多事要說,要譴責;但是派遣我來者是真實的;我由他聽來的,我就講給世界聽。」他們不明白他是在給他們講論父。耶穌遂說:「當你們高舉了人子以後,你們便知道我就是那一位。我由我自己不作什麼;我所講論的,都是依照父所教訓我的。派遣我來者與我在一起,他沒有留下我獨自一個,因為我常作他所喜悅的事。」當耶穌講論這些話時,許多人便信了他。

A Reading from the Holy Gospel according to John 8:21-30

Jesus said to the Pharisees: “I am going away and you will look for me, but you will die in your sin. Where I am going you cannot come.” So the Jews said, “He is not going to kill himself, is he, because he said, ‘Where I am going you cannot come’?” He said to them, “You belong to what is below, I belong to what is above. You belong to this world, but I do not belong to this world. That is why I told you that you will die in your sins. For if you do not believe that I AM, you will die in your sins.” So they said to him, “Who are you?” Jesus said to them, “What I told you from the beginning. I have much to say about you in condemnation. But the one who sent me is true, and what I heard from him I tell the world.” They did not realize that he was speaking to them of the Father. So Jesus said to them, “When you lift up the Son of Man, then you will realize that I AM, and that I do nothing on my own, but I say only what the Father taught me. The one who sent me is with me. He has not left me alone, because I always do what is pleasing to him.” Because he spoke this way, many came to believe in him.

那時候,耶穌上了橄欖山。清晨他又來到聖殿,眾百姓都到他跟前來,他便坐下教訓他們。那時,經師和法利塞人帶來一個犯姦婬時被捉住的婦人,叫她站在中間,便向耶穌說:「師傅!這婦人是正在犯姦淫時被捉住的,在法律上,梅瑟命我們該用石頭砸死這樣的婦人;可是,你說什麼呢?」他們說這話,是要試探耶穌,好能控告他;耶穌卻彎下身去,用指頭在地上劃字。因為他們不斷地追問,他便直起身來,向他們說:「你們中間誰沒有罪,先向她投石吧!」他又彎下身去,在地上寫字。他們一聽這話,就從年老的開始到年幼的,一個一個地都溜走了,只留下耶穌一人和站在那裏的婦人。耶穌遂直起身來向她說:「婦人!他們在那裏呢?沒有人定你的罪嗎?」她說:「主!沒有人。」耶穌向她說:「我也不定你的罪;去吧!從今以後,不要再犯罪了。」

A Reading from the Holy Gospel according to John 8:1-11

Jesus went to the Mount of Olives. But early in the morning he arrived again in the temple area, and all the people started coming to him, and he sat down and taught them. Then the scribes and the Pharisees brought a woman who had been caught in adultery and made her stand in the middle. They said to him, “Teacher, this woman was caught in the very act of committing adultery. Now in the law, Moses commanded us to stone such women. So what do you say?” They said this to test him, so that they could have some charge to bring against him. Jesus bent down and began to write on the ground with his finger. But when they continued asking him, he straightened up and said to them, “Let the one among you who is without sin be the first to throw a stone at her.” Again he bent down and wrote on the ground. And in response, they went away one by one, beginning with the elders. So he was left alone with the woman before him. Then Jesus straightened up and said to her, “Woman, where are they? Has no one condemned you?” She replied, “No one, sir.” Then Jesus said, “Neither do I condemn you. Go, and from now on do not sin any more.”

到了第六個月,天使加俾額爾奉天主差遣,往加里肋亞一座名叫納匝肋的城去,到一位童貞女那裏,她已與達味家族中的一個名叫若瑟的男子訂了婚,童貞女的名字叫瑪利亞。天使進去向她說:「萬福!充滿恩寵者,上主與你同在!」【在女人中你是蒙祝福的。】她卻因這話驚惶不安,便思慮這樣的請安有什麼意思。天使對她說:「瑪利亞,不要害怕,因為你在天主前獲得了寵幸。看,你將懷孕生子,並要給他起名叫耶穌。他將是偉大的,並被稱為至高者的兒子,上主天主要把他祖先達味的御座賜給他。他要為王統治雅各伯家,直到永遠;他的王權沒有終結。」瑪利亞便向天使說:「這事怎能成就?因為我不認識男人。」天使答覆她說:「聖神要臨於你,至高者的能力要庇蔭你,因此,那要誕生的聖者,將稱為天主的兒子。且看,你的親戚依撒伯爾,她雖在老年,卻懷了男胎,本月已六個月了,她原是素稱不生育的,因為在天主前沒有不能的事。」瑪利亞說:「看!上主的婢女,願照你的話成就於我吧!」天使便離開她去了。

(Solemnity of the Annunciation of the Lord)

A Reading from the Holy Gospel according to Luke 1:26-38

The angel Gabriel was sent from God to a town of Galilee called Nazareth, to a virgin betrothed to a man named Joseph, of the house of David, and the virgin’s name was Mary. And coming to her, he said, “Hail, full of grace! The Lord is with you.” But she was greatly troubled at what was said and pondered what sort of greeting this might be. Then the angel said to her, “Do not be afraid, Mary, for you have found favor with God. Behold, you will conceive in your womb and bear a son, and you shall name him Jesus. He will be great and will be called Son of the Most High, and the Lord God will give him the throne of David his father, and he will rule over the house of Jacob forever, and of his Kingdom there will be no end.” But Mary said to the angel, “How can this be, since I have no relations with a man?” And the angel said to her in reply, “The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you. Therefore the child to be born will be called holy, the Son of God. And behold, Elizabeth, your relative, has also conceived a son in her old age, and this is the sixth month for her who was called barren; for nothing will be impossible for God.” Mary said, “Behold, I am the handmaid of the Lord. May it be done to me according to your word.” Then the angel departed from her.

那時候,耶穌周遊於加里肋亞,而不願周遊於猶太,因為猶太人要圖謀殺害他。那時,猶太人的慶節,帳棚節近了,耶穌的弟兄們上去過節以後,他也去了,但不是明顯的,而是暗中去的。
於是,有幾個耶路撒冷人說:「這不是人們所要圖謀殺害的人嗎?看,他放膽地講論,而沒有人對他說什麼,難道首長們也確認這人就是默西亞嗎?可是,我們知道這人是那裏的;然而,當默西亞來時,卻沒有人知道他是那裏的。」於是耶穌在聖殿施教時,大聲喊說:「你們認識我,也知道我是那裏的;但我不是由我自己而來,而是那真實者派遣我來的,你們卻不認識他;我認識他,因為我是出於他,是他派遣了我。」他們想捉住他,但沒有人向他下手,因為他的時辰還沒有到。

A Reading from the Holy Gospel according to John 7:1-2,10,25-30

Jesus moved about within Galilee; he did not wish to travel in Judea, because the Jews were trying to kill him. But the Jewish feast of Tabernacles was near.
But when his brothers had gone up to the feast, he himself also went up, not openly but as it were in secret.
Some of the inhabitants of Jerusalem said, “Is he not the one they are trying to kill? And look, he is speaking openly and they say nothing to him. Could the authorities have realized that he is the Christ? But we know where he is from. When the Christ comes, no one will know where he is from.” So Jesus cried out in the temple area as he was teaching and said, “You know me and also know where I am from. Yet I did not come on my own, but the one who sent me, whom you do not know, is true. I know him, because I am from him, and he sent me.” So they tried to arrest him, but no one laid a hand upon him, because his hour had not yet come.

那時,耶穌對猶太人說:「如果我為我自己作證,我的證據不足憑信;但另有一位為我作證,我知道他為我作的證足以憑信。你們曾派人到若翰那裏去,他就為真理作過證。其實我並不需要人的證據,我提及這事,只是為叫你們得救。若翰好比是一盞點著而發亮的燈,你們只一時高興享受他的光明。但我有比若翰更大的證據,即父所托付我要我完成的工程,就是我所行的這些工程,為我作證;證明是父派遣了我。派遣我來的父,親自為我作證;你們從未聽見過他的聲音,也從未看見過他的儀容,並且你們也沒有把他的話存留在心中,因為你們不相信他所派遣的那位。你們查考經典,因你們認為其中有永生,正是這些經典為我作證;但你們不願意到我這裏來,為獲得生命。
「我不求人的光榮;而且我認得你們,知道在你們內沒有天主的愛情。我因我父的名而來,你們卻不接納我;如果有人因自己的名而來,你們反而接納他。你們既然彼此尋求光榮,而不尋求出於唯一天主的光榮,你們怎麼能相信我呢?不要想我要在父面前控告你們;有一位控告你們的,就是你們所寄望的梅瑟。若是你們相信梅瑟,必會相信我,因為他是指著我而寫的。如果你們不相信他所寫的,怎麼會相信我的話呢?」

A Reading from the Holy Gospel according to John 5:31-47

Jesus said to the Jews: “If I testify on my own behalf, my testimony is not true. But there is another who testifies on my behalf, and I know that the testimony he gives on my behalf is true. You sent emissaries to John, and he testified to the truth. I do not accept human testimony, but I say this so that you may be saved. He was a burning and shining lamp, and for a while you were content to rejoice in his light. But I have testimony greater than John’s. The works that the Father gave me to accomplish, these works that I perform testify on my behalf that the Father has sent me. Moreover, the Father who sent me has testified on my behalf. But you have never heard his voice nor seen his form, and you do not have his word remaining in you, because you do not believe in the one whom he has sent. You search the Scriptures, because you think you have eternal life through them; even they testify on my behalf. But you do not want to come to me to have life.
“I do not accept human praise; moreover, I know that you do not have the love of God in you. I came in the name of my Father, but you do not accept me; yet if another comes in his own name, you will accept him. How can you believe, when you accept praise from one another and do not seek the praise that comes from the only God? Do not think that I will accuse you before the Father: the one who will accuse you is Moses, in whom you have placed your hope. For if you had believed Moses, you would have believed me, because he wrote about me. But if you do not believe his writings, how will you believe my words?”

那時候,耶穌向猶太人說:「我父到現在一直工作,我也應該工作。」為此猶太人越發想要殺害他,因為他不但犯了安息日,而且又稱天主是自己的父,使自己與天主平等。
耶穌於是回答他們說:「我實實在在告訴你們:子不能由自己作什麼,他看見父作什麼,才能作什麼;凡父所作的,子也照樣作,因為父愛子,凡自己所作的都指示給他;並且還要把比這些更大的工程指示給他,為叫你們驚奇。就如父喚起死者,使他們復生,照樣子也使他所願意的人復生。父不審判任何人,但他把審判的全權交給了子,為叫眾人尊敬子如同尊敬父;不尊敬子的,就是不尊敬派遣他來的父。我實實在在告訴你們:聽我的話,相信派遣我來者的,便有永生,不受審判,而已出死入生。我實實在在告訴你們:時候要到,且現在就是,死者要聽見天主子的聲音,凡聽從的,就必生存。就如父是生命之源,照樣他也使子成為生命之源;並且賜給他行審判的權柄,因為他是人子。你們不要驚奇這事,因為時候要到,那時,凡在墳墓裏的,都要聽見他的聲音,而出來;行過善的,復活進入生命;作過惡的,復活而受審判。我由自己什麼也不能作;父怎樣告訴我,我就怎樣審判,所以我的審判是正義的,因為我不尋求我的旨意,而只尋求派遣我來者的旨意。」

A Reading from the Holy Gospel according to John 5:17-30

Jesus answered the Jews: “My Father is at work until now, so I am at work.” For this reason they tried all the more to kill him, because he not only broke the sabbath but he also called God his own father, making himself equal to God.
Jesus answered and said to them, “Amen, amen, I say to you, the Son cannot do anything on his own, but only what he sees the Father doing; for what he does, the Son will do also. For the Father loves the Son and shows him everything that he himself does, and he will show him greater works than these, so that you may be amazed. For just as the Father raises the dead and gives life, so also does the Son give life to whomever he wishes. Nor does the Father judge anyone, but he has given all judgment to the Son, so that all may honor the Son just as they honor the Father. Whoever does not honor the Son does not honor the Father who sent him. Amen, amen, I say to you, whoever hears my word and believes in the one who sent me has eternal life and will not come to condemnation, but has passed from death to life. Amen, amen, I say to you, the hour is coming and is now here when the dead will hear the voice of the Son of God, and those who hear will live. For just as the Father has life in himself, so also he gave to the Son the possession of life in himself. And he gave him power to exercise judgment, because he is the Son of Man. Do not be amazed at this, because the hour is coming in which all who are in the tombs will hear his voice and will come out, those who have done good deeds to the resurrection of life, but those who have done wicked deeds to the resurrection of condemnation.
“I cannot do anything on my own; I judge as I hear, and my judgment is just, because I do not seek my own will but the will of the one who sent me.”

A Reading from the Holy Gospel according to John 5:1-16

There was a feast of the Jews, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem. Now there is in Jerusalem at the Sheep Gate a pool called in Hebrew Bethesda, with five porticoes. In these lay a large number of ill, blind, lame, and crippled. One man was there who had been ill for thirty-eight years. When Jesus saw him lying there and knew that he had been ill for a long time, he said to him, “Do you want to be well?” The sick man answered him, “Sir, I have no one to put me into the pool when the water is stirred up; while I am on my way, someone else gets down there before me.” Jesus said to him, “Rise, take up your mat, and walk.” Immediately the man became well, took up his mat, and walked.
Now that day was a sabbath. So the Jews said to the man who was cured, “It is the sabbath, and it is not lawful for you to carry your mat.” He answered them, “The man who made me well told me, ‘Take up your mat and walk.'” They asked him, “Who is the man who told you, ‘Take it up and walk’?” The man who was healed did not know who it was, for Jesus had slipped away, since there was a crowd there. After this Jesus found him in the temple area and said to him, “Look, you are well; do not sin any more, so that nothing worse may happen to you.” The man went and told the Jews that Jesus was the one who had made him well. Therefore, the Jews began to persecute Jesus because he did this on a sabbath.
