恭讀聖若望福音 3:7-15

那時候,耶穌對尼苛德摩說:「你不要驚奇,因我給你說了,你們應該由上而生。風隨意向那裏吹,你聽到風的響聲,卻不知道風從那裏來,往那裏去:凡由聖神而生的就是這樣。」尼苛德摩問說:「這事怎樣能成就呢?」耶穌回答說:「你是以色列的師傅,連這事你都不知道嗎?我實實在在告訴你:我們知道的,我們才講論;我們見過的,我們才作證;而你們卻不接受我們的見證。若我給你們說地上的事,你們尚且不信;若我給你們說天上的事,你們怎麼會信呢?沒有人上過天,除了那自天降下而仍在天上的人子。正如梅瑟曾在曠野裏高舉了蛇,人子也應照樣被舉起來。使凡信的人,在他內得永生。

A Reading from the Holy Gospel according to John 3:7-15

7 Do not marvel that I said to you, `You must be born anew.’ 8 The wind blows where it wills, and you hear the sound of it, but you do not know whence it comes or whither it goes; so it is with every one who is born of the Spirit.” 9 Nicode’mus said to him, “How can this be?”10 Jesus answered him, “Are you a teacher of Israel, and yet you do not understand this? 11 Truly, truly, I say to you, we speak of what we know, and bear witness to what we have seen; but you do not receive our testimony. 12 If I have told you earthly things and you do not believe, how can you believe if I tell you heavenly things? 13 No one has ascended into heaven but he who descended from heaven, the Son of man. 14 And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, so must the Son of man be lifted up, 15 that whoever believes in him may have eternal life.”
