恭讀聖路加福音 14:25-33
那時候，有許多群眾與耶穌同行，耶穌轉身向他們說：「如果誰跟隨我，他應該愛我，勝過愛自己的父親、母親、妻子、兒女、兄弟、姊妹，什至自己的性命，否則、就不能做我的門徒。不論誰、若不背著自己的十字架跟隨我，就不能做我的門徒。
「你們中間，誰願意建造一座塔，而不先坐下籌算費用，是否有力完成呢？免得他奠基以後，竟不能完工，所有看見的人都要譏誚他說：這個人開了工，而不能完工。或者一個國王要去同別的國王交戰，那有不先坐下運籌一下，能否以一萬人，去抵抗對方的兩萬人呢？如果不能，就得趁那國王離得尚遠的時候，派使者去談判和平的條款。同樣，你們中不論是誰，如不捨棄他的一切所有，不能做我的門徒。」
—上主的話。

A Reading from the Holy Gospel according to Luke 14:25-33
25 Now great multitudes accompanied him; and he turned and said to them, 26 “If any one comes to me and does not hate his own father and mother and wife and children and brothers and sisters, yes, and even his own life, he cannot be my disciple. 27 Whoever does not bear his own cross and come after me, cannot be my disciple. 28 For which of you, desiring to build a tower, does not first sit down and count the cost, whether he has enough to complete it? 29 Otherwise, when he has laid a foundation, and is not able to finish, all who see it begin to mock him, saying, `This man began to build, and was not able to finish.’ 31 Or what king, going to encounter another king in war, will not sit down first and take counsel whether he is able with ten thousand to meet him who comes against him with twenty thousand? 32 And if not, while the other is yet a great way off, he sends an embassy and asks terms of peace. 33 So therefore, whoever of you does not renounce all that he has cannot be my disciple.
—The Gospel of the Lord.
