恭讀聖馬爾谷福音 12:28-34

有一個經師前來,問耶穌說:「一切誡命中,那一條是第一條呢?」
耶穌回答說:「第一條是:以色列!你要聽!上主、我們的天主,是唯一的天主。你應當全心、全靈、全意、全力,愛上主、你的天主。第二條是:你應當愛近人,如你自己。再沒有別的誡命,比這兩條更大的了。」
那經師對耶穌說:「不錯,師父說的實在對:天主是唯一的,除他以外,再沒有別的。我們應全心、全意、全力愛他,並愛近人如自己;這遠超過一切全燔祭和犧牲。」
耶穌見他回答得明智,便對他說:「你離天主的國不遠了。」從此,沒有人敢再問他。

A Reading from the Holy Gospel according to Mark 12:28-34

28 And one of the scribes came up and heard them disputing with one another, and seeing that he answered them well, asked him, “Which commandment is the first of all?” 29 Jesus answered, “The first is, `Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one; 30 and you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind, and with all your strength.’ 31 The second is this, `You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ There is no other commandment greater than these.” 32 And the scribe said to him, “You are right, Teacher; you have truly said that he is one, and there is no other but he; 33 and to love him with all the heart, and with all the understanding, and with all the strength, and to love one’s neighbor as oneself, is much more than all whole burnt offerings and sacrifices.” 34 And when Jesus saw that he answered wisely, he said to him, “You are not far from the kingdom of God.” And after that no one dared to ask him any question.
