恭讀聖路加福音 5:12-16

有一次,耶穌在一座城裏,看,有一個遍體長癩的人,見了耶穌,就俯首至地求他說:「主!你若願意,就能潔淨我。」耶穌便伸手撫摸他說:「我願意,你潔淨了吧!」癩病就立刻由他身上退去。耶穌切切囑咐他不要告訴別人,並說:「但要去叫司祭檢驗你,為你的潔淨,獻上梅瑟所規定的,給他們當作證據。」他的名聲更傳揚開了,遂有許多人齊集來聽教,並為治好自己的病症。耶穌卻退入荒野中去祈禱。

A Reading from the Holy Gospel according to Luke 5:12-16

It happened that there was a man full of leprosy in one of the towns where Jesus was; and when he saw Jesus, he fell prostrate, pleaded with him, and said, “Lord, if you wish, you can make me clean.” Jesus stretched out his hand, touched him, and said, “I do will it. Be made clean.” And the leprosy left him immediately. Then he ordered him not to tell anyone, but “Go, show yourself to the priest and offer for your cleansing what Moses prescribed; that will be proof for them.” The report about him spread all the more, and great crowds assembled to listen to him and to be cured of their ailments, but he would withdraw to deserted places to pray.
