神父講道 – 將臨期第二週 星期四 – 聖路濟亞紀念 – (2007年12月13日)
恭讀聖瑪竇福音 11: 11-15
我切實告訴你們:「在婦女所生者中,沒有出過一個比授洗的若翰更大的;但在天國中最小的也比他大。從授洗的若翰的日子起直至今日,天國是以猛力去爭奪的,用強力的人就奪取了它。因為所有的先知和法律所作的預言都到若翰為止。如果你們願意接受的話,他就是那位要來的厄里亞。有耳聽的,聽吧!」
-上主的話。
A Reading from the Gospel of Matthew 11:11-15
Jesus said to the crowds: “Amen, I say to you, among those born of women there has been none greater than John the Baptist; yet the least in the Kingdom of heaven is greater than he. From the days of John the Baptist until now, the Kingdom of heaven suffers violence, and the violent are taking it by force. All the prophets and the law prophesied up to the time of John. And if you are willing to accept it, he is Elijah, the one who is to come. Whoever has ears ought to hear.”
—The Gospel of the Lord.


國是以猛力去爭奪的,用強力的人就奪取了它。因為所有的先知和法律所作的預言都到若翰為止。如果你們願意接受的話,他就是那位要來的厄里亞。有耳聽的,聽吧!」
