恭讀聖瑪竇福音　21:23-27
耶穌進入聖殿，正在教訓人時，司祭長和民間的長老前來對他說：「你憑什麼權柄做這些事？誰給了你這樣的權柄？」耶穌回答他們說：「我也向你們提一個問題， 如果你們答覆我，我就告訴你們我憑什麼權柄做這些事。」若翰的洗禮是從哪里來的？從天上？還是從人來的？」他們心中思量說：「如果我們說：『從天上來 的』，他會說：『那麼你們為何不相信他呢？』但如果我們說：『從人來的』，我們又害怕群眾，因為眾人都認若翰是一位先知。」於是他們回答耶穌說：「我們不 知道。」耶穌說：「我也不告訴你們，我憑什麼權柄做這些事。」

─這是基督的福音。

A Reading from the Holy Gospel according to Matthew 21:23-27

23 And when he entered the temple, the chief priests and the elders of the people came up to him as he was teaching, and said, “By what authority are you doing these things, and who gave you this authority?” 24 Jesus answered them, “I also will ask you a question; and if you tell me the answer, then I also will tell you by what authority I do these things. 25 The baptism of John, whence was it? From heaven or from men?” And they argued with one another, “If we say, `From heaven,’ he will say to us, `Why then did you not believe him?’ 26 But if we say, `From men,’ we are afraid of the multitude; for all hold that John was a prophet.” 27 So they answered Jesus, “We do not know.” And he said to them, “Neither will I tell you by what authority I do these things.

12月15日　(週一)　瑪21：23-27　 (其他經文──戶24：2-7, 15-17　詠25)

耶穌進了聖殿，正教訓人時，司祭長和民間的長老來到他跟前說：「你憑什麼權柄作這些事？誰給了你這種權柄？」耶穌回答說：「我也問你們一句話，你們若答覆我，我就告訴你們：我憑什麼權柄作這些事。若翰的洗禮，是從那裡來的？是從天上來的？還是從人來的？」他們心中思量說：如果我們說：是從天上來的，他必對我們說：你們為什麼不信他？如果我們說：是從人來的，我們害怕民眾，因為眾人都以若翰為一位先知。他們便回答耶穌說：「我們不知道。」耶穌也對他們說：「我也不告訴你們：我憑什麼權柄作這些事。」

默　想

• 我時常想，耶穌為什麼會這麼有智慧呢？知道別人要為難他，也知道怎樣回應。我很多時候，要過一段時間，才能想到怎樣回應人家。
• 你可能會說，當然是這樣，因為他是耶穌。但我相信有些東西我也可以學的，若能夠學到這些，我也可以有智慧地回應。
• 要學什麼呢？就是要心靜。知止而後有定；定而後能靜；靜而後能安；安而後能慮；慮而後能得。物有本末，事有終始。知所先後，則近道矣。
• 要怎樣才能靜心？最首先的秘訣是不看電視或少看電視，少受低級文化毒害。

十字．聖若望司鐸聖師

恭讀聖若望福音　1:6-8,19-28
曾有一人，是由天主派遣來的，名叫若翰。這人來，是為作證，為給光作證，為使眾人藉他而信。他不是那光，只是為給那光作證。這是若翰所作的見證：當時，猶 太人從耶路撒冷派遣了司祭和肋未人，到他那裡問他說：「你是誰？」，他明明承認，並沒有否認；他明認說：「我不是默西亞。」 他們又問他說：「那麼你是誰？你是厄里亞嗎？」 他說：「我不是。」 他們又問：「你是那位先知嗎？」 他回答說：「不是。」 於是他們問他說：「你究竟是誰？好叫我們給那派遣我們來的人一個答覆。你自己說你是誰？」他說：「我是在曠野裡呼喊者的聲音：修直上主的道路！正如依撒意 亞先知所說的。」 被派遣來的有些是法利塞人；他們又問他說：「你既不是默西亞，又不是厄里亞，也不是那位先知，那麼，你為什麼施洗呢？」 若翰答覆他們說：「我以水施洗，你們中間站著一位，是你們所不認識的；祂在我以後來，我卻當不起解祂的鞋帶。」 這些事發生於約但河對岸的伯達尼，若翰施洗的地方。

A Reading from the Holy Gospel according to John 1:6-8, 19-28

6 There was a man sent from God, whose name was John. 7 He came for testimony, to bear witness to the light, that all might believe through him.  8 He was not the light, but came to bear witness to the light. 19 And this is the testimony of John, when the Jews sent priests and Levites from Jerusalem to ask him, “Who are you?” 20 He confessed, he did not deny, but confessed, “I am not the Christ.” 21 And they asked him, “What then? Are you Elijah?” He said, “I am not.” “Are you the prophet?” And he answered, “No.” 22 They said to him then, “Who are you? Let us have an answer for those who sent us. What do you say about yourself?” 23 He said, “I am the voice of one crying in the wilderness, `Make straight the way of the Lord,’ as the prophet Isaiah said.” 24 Now they had been sent from the Pharisees. 25 They asked him, “Then why are you baptizing, if you are neither the Christ, nor Elijah, nor the prophet?” 26 John answered them, “I baptize with water; but among you stands one whom you do not know, 27 even he who comes after me, the thong of whose sandal I am not worthy to untie.” 28 This took place in Bethany beyond the Jordan, where John was baptizing.
