恭讀聖若望福音 1:43-51

那時候,耶穌願意往加里肋亞去,遇到了斐理伯,耶穌便向他說:「你跟隨我吧!」斐理伯是貝特 賽達人,與安德肋和伯多祿同城。斐理伯遇到納塔乃耳,就向他說:「梅瑟在法律上所記載,和先知們所預報的,我們找著了,就是若瑟的兒子,出身於納匝納耶 穌。」納塔乃耳便向他說:「從納匝肋還能出什麼好東西?」斐理伯向他說:「你來看一看吧!」耶穌看見納塔乃耳向自己走來,就指著他說:「看,這確是一個以 色列人,在他內毫無詭詐。」納塔乃耳向他說:「你從那裡認識我呢?」耶穌回答說:「斐理伯叫你以前,當你還在無花果樹下時,我就看見了你。」納塔乃耳回答 說:「辣彼,你是天主子,你是以色列的君王。」耶穌遂說道:「因為我向你說:我看見了你在無花果樹下,你就信了嗎?你要看見比這更大的事!」又向他說: 「我實實在在告訴你們:你們要看見天開,天主的天使在人子身上,上去下來。」

A Reading from the Holy Gospel according to John 1:43-51

43 The next day Jesus decided to go to Galilee. And he found Philip and said to him, “Follow me.” 44 Now Philip was from Beth-sa’ida, the city of Andrew and Peter. 45 Philip found Nathan’a-el, and said to him, “We have found him of whom Moses in the law and also the prophets wrote, Jesus of Nazareth, the son of Joseph.” 46 Nathan’a-el said to him, “Can anything good come out of Nazareth?” Philip said to him, “Come and see.” 47 Jesus saw Nathan’a-el coming to him, and said of him, “Behold, an Israelite indeed, in whom is no guile!” 48 Nathan’a-el said to him, “How do you know me?” Jesus answered him, “Before Philip called you, when you were under the fig tree, I saw you.” 49 Nathan’a-el answered him, “Rabbi, you are the Son of God! You are the King of Israel!” 50 Jesus answered him, “Because I said to you, I saw you under the fig tree, do you believe? You shall see greater things than these.” 51 And he said to him, “Truly, truly, I say to you, you will see heaven opened, and the angels of God ascending and descending upon the Son of man.”
