恭讀聖若望福音 18:33-37

那時候,比拉多對耶穌說:「你是猶太人的君王嗎?」
耶穌回答說:「這話是你自己說的,或是別人論及我,而對你說的?」
比拉多答說:「莫非我是猶太人?你的民族和司祭長,把你交給我,你做了什麼?」
耶穌回答說:「我的國不屬於這世界;如果我的國屬於這世界,我的臣民早已反抗了,使我不至於被交給猶太人;但是,我的國不是這世界的。」
於是,比拉多對耶穌說:「那麼,你就是君王了?」
耶穌回答說:「你說的是,我是君王。我為此而生,我也為此而來到世界上,為給真理作證;凡屬於真理的,必聽從我的聲音。」

A Reading from the Holy Gospel according to John 18:33-37

Pilate entered the praetorium again and called Jesus, and said to him, “Are you the King of the Jews?” Jesus answered, “Do you say this of your own accord, or did others say it to you about me?” Pilate answered, “Am I a Jew? Your own nation and the chief priests have handed you over to me; what have you done?” Jesus answered, “My kingship is not of this world; if my kingship were of this world, my servants would fight, that I might not be handed over to the Jews; but my kingship is not from the world.” Pilate said to him, “So you are a king?” Jesus answered, “You say that I am a king. For this I was born, and for this I have come into the world, to bear witness to the truth. Every one who is of the truth hears my voice.”
