耶路撒冷 – 主哭耶京堂

恭讀聖若望福音 19:31-37

猶太人因那日子是預備日,免得安息日內──那安息日原是個大節日──屍首留在十字架上,就來請求比拉多打斷他們的腿,把他們拿去。士兵遂前來,把第一個人的,並與耶穌同釘在十字架上的第二個人的腿打斷了。可是,及至來到耶穌跟前,看見他已經死了,就沒有打斷他的腿;但是,有一個兵士用槍刺透了他的肋旁,立刻流出了血和水。那看見這事的人就作證,而他的見證是真實的;並且「那位」知道他所說的是真實的,為叫你們也相信。這些事發生,正應驗了經上的話說:『不可將他的骨頭打斷。』經上另有一句說:『他們要瞻望他們所刺透的。 』

—上主的話。

A Reading from the Holy Gospel according to John 19:31-37

Now since it was preparation day, in order that the bodies might not remain on the cross on the sabbath, for the sabbath day of that week was a solemn one, the Jews asked Pilate that their legs be broken and they be taken down. So the soldiers came and broke the legs of the first and then of the other one who was crucified with Jesus. But when they came to Jesus and saw that he was already dead, they did not break his legs, but one soldier thrust his lance into his side, and immediately blood and water flowed out. An eyewitness has testified, and his testimony is true; he knows that he is speaking the truth, so that you also may [come to] believe. For this happened so that the scripture passage might be fulfilled: “Not a bone of it will be broken.” And again another passage says: “They will look upon him whom they have pierced.”
