恭讀聖馬爾谷福音 9:30-37

那時候,耶穌和門徒經過加里肋亞。耶穌不願叫人知道,因為他那時正教訓他的門徒。
耶穌給他的門徒說:「人子將要被交在人手中,為人所殺;被殺以後,過了三天,他必要復活。」門徒卻不明白這番話,又害怕詢問他。
他們來到葛法翁,進入屋裡,耶穌問他的門徒說:「你們在路上爭論些什麼?」他們都默不出聲,因為他們在路上,彼此爭論誰最大。
耶穌坐下,叫那十二人過來,給他們說:「誰如果想做最大的,就得做眾人中最小的,並要做眾人的僕役。」
耶穌於是拉一個小孩子過來,放在門徒中間,又抱起他來,給門徒說:「誰因我的名字,收留一個這樣的小孩子,就是收留我;誰收留我,並不是收留我,而是收留那派遣我來的。」

A Reading from the Holy Gospel according to Mark 9:30-37

30 They went on from there and passed through Galilee. And he would not have any one know it; 31 for he was teaching his disciples, saying to them, “The Son of man will be delivered into the hands of men, and they will kill him; and when he is killed, after three days he will rise.” 32 But they did not understand the saying, and they were afraid to ask him. 33 And they came to Capenaum; and when he was in the house he asked them, “What were you discussing on the way?” 34 But they were silent; for on the way they had discussed with one another who was the greatest. 35 And he sat down and called the twelve; and he said to them, “If any one would be first, he must be last of all and servant of all.” 36 And he took a child, and put him in the midst of them; and taking him in his arms, he said to them, 37 “Whoever receives one such child in my name receives me; and whoever receives me, receives not me but him who sent me.”
