神父講道 – 常年期第二十九週 (週三) (2018年10月24日)
恭讀聖路加福音 12:39-48
那時候，耶穌對門徒說：「你們應該明白這一點：如果家主知道盜賊何時要來，【他必要醒寤，】決不容許自己的房屋被挖穿。你們也應當準備，因為在你們料想不到的時辰，人子就來了。」
伯多祿說：「主！你講的這個比喻，是為我們呢？還是為眾人？」主說：「究竟誰是那忠信及精明的管家？主人派他管理自己的家僕，按時配給食糧。主人來時，看見他如此行事，那僕人才是有福的。我實在告訴你們：主人必要委派他，管理自己的一切財產。如果那個僕人心裏說：我的主人必然遲來；他便開始拷打僕婢，也吃也喝也醉酒。在他想不到的日子，不知覺的時刻，那僕人的主人就會來到，必要剷除他，使他與不信者遭受同樣的命運。那知道主人的旨意，而偏不準備，或竟不奉行他旨意的僕人，必然要多受拷打；那不知道而做了應受拷打之事的，要少受拷打。給誰的多，向誰要的也多；交託誰的多，向誰索取的也格外多。」
—上主的話。

A Reading from the Holy Gospel according to Luke 12:39-48
Jesus said to his disciples: “Be sure of this: if the master of the house had known the hour when the thief was coming, he would not have let his house be broken into. You also must be prepared, for at an hour you do not expect, the Son of Man will come.”
Then Peter said, “Lord, is this parable meant for us or for everyone?” And the Lord replied, “Who, then, is the faithful and prudent steward whom the master will put in charge of his servants to distribute the food allowance at the proper time? Blessed is that servant whom his master on arrival finds doing so. Truly, I say to you, he will put him in charge of all his property. But if that servant says to himself, ‘My master is delayed in coming,’ and begins to beat the menservants and the maidservants, to eat and drink and get drunk, then that servant’s master will come on an unexpected day and at an unknown hour and will punish the servant severely and assign him a place with the unfaithful. That servant who knew his master’s will but did not make preparations nor act in accord with his will shall be beaten severely; and the servant who was ignorant of his master’s will but acted in a way deserving of a severe beating shall be beaten only lightly. Much will be required of the person entrusted with much, and still more will be demanded of the person entrusted with more.”
—The Gospel of the Lord.
