恭讀聖若望福音 12:20-33
那時候，在那些上來過節、崇拜天主的人當中，有些希臘人。他們來到加里肋亞貝特賽達人斐理伯前，請求他說：「先生！我們想拜見耶穌。」斐理伯就去告訴安德肋，然後，安德肋和斐理伯便來告訴耶穌。
耶穌開口向他們說：「人子要受光榮的時辰到了。我實實在在告訴你們：一粒麥子，如果不落在地裡死了，仍只是一粒；如果死了，才結出許多子粒來。愛惜自己性命的，必要喪失性命；在現世憎恨自己性命的，必要保存性命，進入永生。誰若事奉我，就當跟隨我；這樣，我在那裡，我的僕人也要在那裡；誰若事奉我，我父必要尊重他。
「現在我心神煩亂，我可說什麼呢？我說：父啊！救我脫離這時辰吧？但我正是為此，才到了這時辰。父啊！光榮你的名吧！」
當時有聲音來自天上：「我已光榮了我的名字，我還要再光榮它。」在場聽見的群眾，便說：「這是打雷。」另有人說：「是天使同他說話。」耶穌回答說：「這聲音不是為我而來，而是為你們。現在，就是這世界應受審判的時候，現在這世界的元首，就要被趕出去；至於我，當我從地上被舉起來時，便要吸引眾人來歸向我。」
他說這話，是表明他要以怎樣的死而死。

A Reading from the Holy Gospel according to John 12:20-33
20 Now among those who went up to worship at the feast were some Greeks. 21 So these came to Philip, who was from Beth-sa’ida in Galilee, and said to him, “Sir, we wish to see Jesus.” 22 Philip went and told Andrew; Andrew went with Philip and they told Jesus. 23 And Jesus answered them, “The hour has come for the Son of man to be glorified. 24 Truly, truly, I say to you, unless a grain of wheat falls into the earth and dies, it remains alone; but if it dies, it bears much fruit. 25 He who loves his life loses it, and he who hates his life in this world will keep it for eternal life. 26 If any one serves me, he must follow me; and where I am, there shall my servant be also; if any one serves me, the Father will honor him. 27 “Now is my soul troubled. And what shall I say? `Father, save me from this hour’? No, for this purpose I have come to this hour. 28 Father, glorify thy name.” Then a voice came from heaven, “I have glorified it, and I will glorify it again.” 29 The crowd standing by heard it and said that it had thundered. Others said, “An angel has spoken to him.” 30 Jesus answered, “This voice has come for your sake, not for mine. 31 Now is the judgment of this world, now shall the ruler of this world be cast out; 32 and I, when I am lifted up from the earth, will draw all men to myself.” 33 He said this to show by what death he was to die.
