神父講道 – 常年期第三十週 (週三) (2018年10月31日)

恭讀聖路加福音 13:22-30

那時候,耶穌經過城市和鄉村,隨處施教,朝著耶路撒冷走去。有一個人問他說:「主!得救的人果然不多嗎?」耶穌對眾人說:「你們竭力由窄門而入吧!因為將有許多人,我告訴你們:想要進去,而不得進入。及至家主起來把門關上,你們在外面站著,開始敲門說:主!請給我們開門吧!他要回答你們說:我不認識你們是從那裏來的。那時,你們會說:我們曾在你面前吃過喝過;你也曾在我們的街市上教導過人。他要說:我告訴你:我不認識你們是從那裏來的;你們這些作惡的人,離開我去吧!幾時你們看見亞巴郎、依撒格、雅各伯及眾先知在天主的國裏,你們卻被拋棄在外,那裏要有哀號和切齒。將有從東到西,從北剽南而來的人,在天主的國裏坐席。看吧!有最後的將成為最先的,也有最先的將成為最後的。」

—上主的話。

(30th Week in Ordinary Time – Wednesday)

A Reading from the Holy Gospel according to Luke 13:22-30

Jesus passed through towns and villages, teaching as he went and making his way to Jerusalem. Someone asked him, “Lord, will only a few people be saved?” He answered them, “Strive to enter through the narrow gate, for many, I tell you, will attempt to enter but will not be strong enough. After the master of the house has arisen and locked the door, then will you stand outside knocking and saying, ‘Lord, open the door for us.’ He will say to you in reply, ‘I do not know where you are from.’ And you will say, ‘We ate and drank in your company and you taught in our streets.’ Then he will say to you, ‘I do not know where you are from. Depart from me, all you evildoers!’ And there will be wailing and grinding of teeth when you see Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob and all the prophets in the Kingdom of God and you yourselves cast out. And people will come from the east and the west and from the north and the south and will recline at table in the Kingdom of God. For behold, some are last who will be first, and some are first who will be last.”

—The Gospel of the Lord.
