恭讀聖瑪竇福音 8:28-34

那時候,耶穌來到對岸加達辣人的地方,有兩個附魔的人從墳墓裏走出,向他走來;他們異常兇猛,以致沒有人能從那條路上經過。他們喊說:「天主子,我們與你有什麼相干?時期還沒有到,你就來這裏苦害我們嗎?」離他們很遠,有一大群豬正在牧放。魔鬼懇求耶穌說:「你若驅逐我們,就趕我們進入豬群吧!」耶穌對他們說:「去吧!」魔鬼就出來進入豬內;忽然全群豬從山崖上直衝入海,死在水裏。放豬的便逃走,來到城裏,把這一切和附魔人的事都報告了。全城的人就出來會見耶穌,一見了他,就求他離開他們的地方。

A Reading from the Holy Gospel according to Matthew 8:28-34

28 And when he came to the other side, to the country of the Gadarenes, two demoniacs met him, coming out of the tombs, so fierce that no one could pass that way. 29 And behold, they cried out, “What have you to do with us, O Son of God? Have you come here to torment us before the time?” 30 Now a herd of many swine was feeding at some distance from them. 31 And the demons begged him, “If you cast us out, send us away into the herd of swine.” 32 And he said to them, “Go.” So they came out and went into the swine; and behold, the whole herd rushed down the steep bank into the sea, and perished in the waters. 33 The herdsmen fled, and going into the city they told everything, and what had happened to the demoniacs. 34 And behold, all the city came out to meet Jesus; and when they saw him, they begged him to leave their neighborhood.
