恭讀聖路加福音 4:1-13

那時候,耶穌充滿聖神,離開約但河,就被聖神引入荒野,四十天之久,受魔鬼試探。耶穌在那段日子,什麼也沒有吃;過了那段日子,就餓了。魔鬼對耶穌說:「你如果是天主子,就命令這塊石頭變成餅吧!」
耶穌回答說:「經上記載:『人生活不只靠餅。』」
魔鬼引耶穌到高處,頃刻間把普世萬國指給耶穌看,並對耶穌說:「這一切權勢及其榮華,我都要給你,因為這一切都已全交給了我;我願意把它給誰,就給誰。所以,你如果朝拜我,這一切都是你的。」
耶穌回答說:「經上記載:『你要朝拜上主,你的天主;唯獨奉侍他。』」
魔鬼又引耶穌到耶路撒冷,把他放在聖殿頂上,向他說:「你如果是天主子,從這裡跳下去吧!因為經上記載:『他為你吩咐了自己的天使保護你;他們要用手托著你,免得你的腳踫在石頭上。』」
耶穌回答說:「經上說:『不可試探上主,你的天主。』」
魔鬼用盡了各種試探後,就離開了耶穌,再等時機。

A Reading from the Holy Gospel according to Luke 4:1-13

1 And Jesus, full of the Holy Spirit, returned from the Jordan, and was led by the Spirit 2 for forty days in the wilderness, tempted by the devil. And he ate nothing in those days; and when they were ended, he was hungry. 3 The devil said to him, “If you are the Son of God, command this stone to become bread.” 4 And Jesus answered him, “It is written, `Man shall not live by bread alone.'” 5 And the devil took him up, and showed him all the kingdoms of the world in a moment of time, 6 and said to him, “To you I will give all this authority and their glory; for it has been delivered to me, and I give it to whom I will. 7 If you, then, will worship me, it shall all be yours.” 8 And Jesus answered him, “It is written, `You shall worship the Lord your God, and him only shall you serve.'” 9 And he took him to Jerusalem, and set him on the pinnacle of the temple, and said to him, “If you are the Son of God, throw yourself down from here; 10 for it is written, `He will give his angels charge of you, to guard you,’ 11 and `On their hands they will bear you up, lest you strike your foot against a stone.'” 12 And Jesus answered him, “It is said, `You shall not tempt the Lord your God.'” 13 And when the devil had ended every temptation, he departed from him until an opportune time.
