恭讀聖路加福音 3:1-6

凱撒提庇留執政第十五年,般雀比拉多作猶太總督,黑落德作加里肋亞分封侯,他的兄弟斐理伯作依突勒雅和特辣曷尼地方的分封侯,呂撒尼雅作阿彼肋乃分封侯,亞納斯和蓋法作大司祭時,在荒野中有天主的話,傳給匝加利亞的兒子若翰。
若翰於是走遍約但河一帶地方,宣講悔改的洗禮,為得罪之赦。正如先知依撒意亞預言書上記載的:
「在荒野中有呼號者的聲音:你們當預備上主的道路,修直他的途徑!一切深谷要填滿,一切山岳丘陵要剷平,彎曲的要修直,崎嶇的要闢成坦途!凡有血肉的,都要看見天主的救援。」

—上主的話。。

A Reading from the Holy Gospel according to Luke 3:1-6

1 In the fifteenth year of the reign of Tiber’i-us Caesar, Pontius Pilate being governor of Judea, and Herod being tetrarch of Galilee, and his brother Philip tetrarch of the region of Iturae’a and Trachoni’tis, and Lysa’ni-as tetrarch of Abile’ne, 2 in the high-priesthood of Annas and Ca’iaphas, the word of God came to John the son of Zechari’ah in the wilderness; 3 and he went into all the region about the Jordan, preaching a baptism of repentance for the forgiveness of sins. 4 As it is written in the book of the words of Isaiah the prophet, “The voice of one crying in the wilderness: Prepare the way of the Lord, make his paths straight. 5 Every valley shall be filled, and every mountain and hill shall be brought low, and the crooked shall be made straight, and the rough ways shall be made smooth; 6 and all flesh shall see the salvation of God.”

—The Gospel of the Lord.
