恭讀聖路加福音 6:43-49

耶穌對門徒說:「沒有好樹結壞果子的,也沒有壞樹結好果子的。每一棵樹憑它的果子就可認出來。人從荊棘上收不到無花果,從茨藤上也剪不到葡萄。善人從自己心中的善庫發出善來,壞人從惡庫中發出惡來,因為心裏充滿什麼,口裏就說什麼。你們為什麼稱呼我:主啊!主啊!而不行我所吩咐的呢?

「凡到我跟前,聽了我的道理而實行的,我要給你們指出,他相似什麼人:他相似一個建造房屋的人,掘地深挖,把基礎建立在磐石上,洪水瀑發時,大水沖擊那座房屋,而不能動搖它,因為它建築得好。但那聽了而不實行的,相似人在平地上不打基礎而建造房屋,洪水一衝擊,那房屋立刻傾倒,且破壞得很慘。」

—上主的話。

A Reading from the Holy Gospel according to Luke 6:43-49

“For no good tree bears bad fruit, nor again does a bad tree bear good fruit; for each tree is known by its own fruit. For figs are not gathered from thorns, nor are grapes picked from a bramble bush. The good man out of the good treasure of his heart produces good, and the evil man out of his evil treasure produces evil; for out of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaks. “Why do you call me `Lord, Lord,’ and not do what I tell you? Every one who comes to me and hears my words and does them, I will show you what he is like: 48 he is like a man building a house, who dug deep, and laid the foundation upon rock; and when a flood arose, the stream broke against that house, and could not shake it, because it had been well built. But he who hears and does not do them is like a man who built a house on the ground without a foundation; against which the stream broke, and immediately it fell, and the ruin of that house was great.”

—The Gospel of the Lord.
