恭讀聖馬爾谷福音 10:35-45

那時候,載伯德的兒子:雅各伯和若望,走到耶穌面前,對耶穌說:「師父!我們請你允許我們的要求!」
耶穌對他們說:「你們願意我給你們做什麼?」
他們回答說:「賜我們在你的光榮中,一個坐在你右邊,一個坐在你左邊。」
耶穌對他們說:「你們不知道你們所求的是什麼;你們能飲我飲的爵嗎?或者,你們能受我受的洗嗎?」
他們對耶穌說:「我們能。」
耶穌就對他們說:「我飲的爵,你們必要飲;我受的洗,你們必要受;但坐在我右邊或左邊,不是我可以給的,而是給誰預備了,就給誰。」
那十個聽了,就開始惱怒雅各伯和若望。
耶穌叫門徒過來,對他們說:「你們知道:在外邦人中,有尊為首領的,主宰他們,有大臣管轄他們;但你們中間,卻不可這樣:誰若願意在你們中間成為大的,就當作你們的僕役;誰若願意在你們中間為首的,就當作眾人的奴僕,因為人子,不是來受服事,而是來服事人,並交出自己的性命,為大眾作贖價。」

A Reading from the Holy Gospel according to Mark 10:35-45

35 James and John, the sons of Zebedee, came forward to him, and said to him, “Teacher, we want you to do for us whatever we ask of you.” 36 And he said to them, “What do you want me to do for you?” 37 And they said to him, “Grant us to sit, one at your right hand and one at your left, in your glory.” 38 But Jesus said to them, “You do not know what you are asking. Are you able to drink the cup that I drink, or to be baptized with the baptism with which I am baptized?” 39 And they said to him, “We are able.” And Jesus said to them, “The cup that I drink you will drink; and with the baptism with which I am baptized, you will be baptized; 40 but to sit at my right hand or at my left is not mine to grant, but it is for those for whom it has been prepared.” 41 And when the ten heard it, they began to be indignant at James and John. 42 And Jesus called them to him and said to them, “You know that those who are supposed to rule over the Gentiles lord it over them, and their great men exercise authority over them. 43 But it shall not be so among you; but whoever would be great among you must be your servant, 44 and whoever would be first among you must be slave of all. 45 For the Son of man also came not to be served but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.”
