恭讀聖瑪竇福音 5:17-19
那時候，耶穌對他的門徒說：「你們不要以為我來是廢除法律或先知；我來不是為廢除，而是為成全。我實在告訴你們：即使天地過去了，一撇或一畫也決不會從法 律上過去，必待一切完成。所以，誰若廢除這些誡命中最小的一條，也這樣教訓人，在天國裏，他將稱為最小的；但誰若實行，也這樣教訓人，這人在天國裏將稱為 大的。」
—這是基督的福音。

A Reading from the Holy Gospel according Matthew 5:17-19
17 “Think not that I have come to abolish the law and the prophets; I have come not to abolish them but to fulfil them. 18 For truly, I say to you, till heaven and earth pass away, not an iota, not a dot, will pass from the law until all is accomplished. 19 Whoever then relaxes one of the least of these commandments and teaches men so, shall be called least in the kingdom of heaven; but he who does them and teaches them shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.
—The Gospel of the Lord.
