恭讀聖瑪竇福音 18:15-20
那時候,耶穌對門徒說:「如果你的弟兄得罪了你,去,要在你和他獨處的時候,規勸他;如果他聽從了你,你便賺得了你的兄弟;但他如果不聽,你就多帶一個或兩個人同去,為叫任何事情,憑兩個或三個見證人的口供,得以成立。如果他仍不聽從他們,你要告訴教會;如果他連教會也不聽從,你就將他看作外教人或稅吏。
「我實在告訴你們:凡你們在地上所束縛的,在天上也要被束縛;凡你們在地上所釋放的,在天上也要被釋放。
「我實在告訴你們:如果你們當中有兩個人,在地上同心合意,無論為什麼事祈禱,我在天之父,必要成全他們,因為那裡有兩個或三個人,因我的名字聚集一起,我就在他們中間。」

A Reading from the Holy Gospel according to Matthew 18:15-20

15 “If your brother sins against you, go and tell him his fault, between you and him alone. If he listens to you, you have gained your brother. 16 But if he does not listen, take one or two others along with you, that every word may be confirmed by the evidence of two or three witnesses. 17 If he refuses to listen to them, tell it to the church; and if he refuses to listen even to the church, let him be to you as a Gentile and a tax collector. 18 Truly, I say to you, whatever you bind on earth shall be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven. 19 Again I say to you, if two of you agree on earth about anything they ask, it will be done for them by my Father in heaven. 20 For where two or three are gathered in my name, there am I in the midst of them.”

—The Gospel of the Lord.
