神父講道 – 常年期第二十四週 (週一) (2018年9月17日)

恭讀聖路加福音 7:1-10

那時,耶穌進了葛法翁。有一個百夫長,他所喜愛的僕人病重垂危。百夫長聽說過耶穌的事,就打發猶太人的幾個長老往他那裏去,求他來治好自己的僕人。他們到了耶穌那裏,懇切求他說:「這個人值得你為他做這事,因為他愛護我們的民族,又給我們建造了會堂。」耶穌就同他們去了。當他離那家已不遠時,百夫長打發朋友向他說:「主啊!不必勞駕了!因為我當不起你到舍下來。為此,我也認為我不堪當親自到你跟前來,只請你說一句話,我的僕人就必好了。因為我雖是受派在人權下的,但是,在我下也有士兵;我對這個說:你去!他就去;對那個說:你來!他就來;對我的奴僕說:你作這個!他就作。」耶穌一聽這些話,就佩服他,遂轉身向跟隨自己的群眾說:「我告訴你們:連在以色列,我也沒有見過這樣大的信德。」被派去的人回到家中,見那僕人已經痊愈了。

—上主的話。

A Reading from the Holy Gospel according to Luke 7:1-10

When Jesus had finished all his words to the people, he entered Capernaum. A centurion there had a slave who was ill and about to die, and he was valuable to him. When he heard about Jesus, he sent elders of the Jews to him, asking him to come and save the life of his slave. They approached Jesus and strongly urged him to come, saying, “He deserves to have you do this for him, for he loves our nation and he built the synagogue for us.” And Jesus went with them, but when he was only a short distance from the house, the centurion sent friends to tell him, “Lord, do not trouble yourself, for I am not worthy to have you enter under my roof. Therefore, I did not consider myself worthy to come to you; but say the word and let my servant be healed. For I too am a person subject to authority, with soldiers subject to me. And I say to one, ‘Go,’ and he goes; and to another, ‘Come here,’ and he comes; and to my slave, ‘Do this,’ and he does it.” When Jesus heard this he was amazed at him and, turning, said to the crowd following him, “I tell you, not even in Israel have I found such faith.” When the messengers returned to the house, they found the slave in good health.
