恭讀聖瑪竇福音 5:33-37

那時候,耶穌向他的門徒說:「你們一向聽過對古人說:『不可發虛誓!要向上主償還你的誓願!』我卻對你們說:你們總不可發誓:不可指天,因為天是天主的寶座;不可指地,因為地是他的腳凳;不可指耶路撒冷,因為她是大王的城市;也不可指你的頭發誓,因為你不能使一根頭髮變白或變黑。你們的話該當是:是就說是,非就說非;其他多餘的,便是出於邪惡。」

—上主的話。

A Reading from the Holy Gospel according to Matthew 5:33-37

33 “Again you have heard that it was said to the men of old, `You shall not swear falsely, but shall perform to the Lord what you have sworn.’ 34 But I say to you, Do not swear at all, either by heaven, for it is the throne of God, 35 or by the earth, for it is his footstool, or by Jerusalem, for it is the city of the great King. 36 And do not swear by your head, for you cannot make one hair white or black. 37 Let what you say be simply `Yes’ or `No’; anything more than this comes from evil.

—The Gospel of the Lord.
