恭讀聖瑪竇福音 11:11-15

那時候,耶穌對群眾說:「我實在告訴你們:在婦女所生者中,沒有興起一位比洗者若翰更大的;但在天國裏最小的,也比他大。由洗者若翰的日子直到如今,天國是以猛力去奪取的,以猛力的奪取的人,就攫取了它,因爲眾先知和法律講說預言,直到若翰爲止。若是你們願意接受,他就是那位要來的厄里亞。有耳的,聽吧!」

—上主的話。

A Reading from the Holy Gospel according to Matthew 11:11-15

Truly, I say to you, among those born of women there has risen no one greater than John the Baptist; yet he who is least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he. 12 From the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven has suffered violence, and men of violence take it by force. 13 For all the prophets and the law prophesied until John; 14 and if you are willing to accept it, he is Elijah who is to come.15 He who has ears to hear, let him hear.

—The Gospel of the Lord.
