恭讀聖馬爾谷福音 12:18-27

那時候,否認復活的撒杜塞人來到耶穌跟前,問他說:「師傅!梅瑟曾給我們寫說:如果一個人的哥哥死了,撇下妻子而沒留下孩子,他的弟弟就應娶他的妻子,給他哥哥立嗣。曾有兄弟七人,第一個娶了妻,沒有留下子嗣就死了。第二個娶了她,也沒有留下子嗣就死了。第三個也是這樣。那七個都沒有留下子嗣;末了,那婦人也死了。在復活時,他們復活以後,她將是他們中那一個人的妻子?因為七個人都娶過她為妻。耶穌對他們說:「你們豈不是因為沒有明瞭經書,也沒有明瞭天主的能力,而錯誤了嗎?因為人從死者中復活後,也不娶,也不嫁,就像天上的天使一樣。關於死人復活的事,在梅瑟書上荊棘篇中,你們沒有讀過天主怎樣對他說的嗎?他說:『我是亞巴郎的天主,依撒格的天主,和雅各伯的天主。』他不是死人的,而是活人的天主。所以你們大錯了!」

A Reading from the Holy Gospel according to Mark 12:18-27

Some Sadducees, who say there is no resurrection, came to Jesus and put this question to him, saying, “Teacher, Moses wrote for us, If someone’s brother dies, leaving a wife but no child, his brother must take the wife and raise up descendants for his brother. Now there were seven brothers. The first married a woman and died, leaving no descendants. So the second brother married her and died, leaving no descendants, and the third likewise. And the seven left no descendants. Last of all the woman also died. At the resurrection when they arise whose wife will she be? For all seven had been married to her.” Jesus said to them, “Are you not misled because you do not know the Scriptures or the power of God? When they rise from the dead, they neither marry nor are given in marriage, but they are like the angels in heaven. As for the dead being raised, have you not read in the Book of Moses, in the passage about the bush, how God told him, I am the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob? He is not God of the dead but of the living. You are greatly misled.”
