恭讀聖路加福音 10:25-37

那時,有一個法學士起來,試探耶穌說:「師傅!我應當做什麼,才能獲得永生?」耶穌對他說:「法律上記載了什麼?你是怎樣讀的?」他答說:「你應當全心、全靈、全力、全意愛上主,你的天主;並愛近人如你自己。」耶穌向他說:「你答得對。你這樣做,必得生活。」但是,那人想顯示自己有理,又對耶穌說:「畢竟誰是我的近人?」耶穌答說:「有一個人從耶路撒冷下來,到耶里哥去,遭遇了強盜,他們剝去他的衣服,並加以擊傷,將他半死半活的丟下走了。恰巧有一個司祭在那條路上下來,看了看他,便從旁邊走過去。又有一個肋未人,也是一樣;他到了那裏,看了看,也從旁邊走過去。但有一個撒瑪黎雅人,路過他那裏,一看見就動了憐憫的心,遂上前,在他的傷處注上油與酒,包紮好了,又扶他騎上自己的牲口,把他帶到客店裏,小心照料他。第二天,取出兩個銀錢交給店主說:請你小心看護他!不論額外花費多少,等我回來時,必要還給你。你以為這三個人中,誰是那遭遇強盜者的近人呢?」那人答說:「是憐憫他的那人。」耶穌遂對他說:「你也照樣去做吧!」

A Reading from the Holy Gospel according to Luke 10:25-37

There was a scholar of the law who stood up to test Jesus and said, “Teacher, what must I do to inherit eternal life?” Jesus said to him, “What is written in the law? How do you read it?” He said in reply, “You shall love the Lord, your God, with all your heart, with all your being, with all your strength, and with all your mind, and your neighbor as yourself.” He replied to him, “You have answered correctly; do this and you will live.”
But because he wished to justify himself, he said to Jesus, “And who is my neighbor?” Jesus replied, “A man fell victim to robbers as he went down from Jerusalem to Jericho. They stripped and beat him and went off leaving him half-dead. A priest happened to be going down that road, but when he saw him, he passed by on the opposite side. Likewise a Levite came to the place, and when he saw him, he passed by on the opposite side. But a Samaritan traveler who came upon him was moved with compassion at the sight. He approached the victim, poured oil and wine over his wounds and bandaged them. Then he lifted him up on his own animal, took him to an inn, and cared for him. The next day he took out two silver coins and gave them to the innkeeper with the instruction, ‘Take care of him. If you spend more than what I have given you, I shall repay you on my way back.’ Which of these three, in your opinion, was neighbor to the robbers’ victim?” He answered, “The one who treated him with mercy.” Jesus said to him, “Go and do likewise.”
