恭讀聖路加福音 13:1-9

那時候,有幾個人,把有關加里肋亞人的事,即比拉多把他們的血,攙和於他們的祭品的事,報告給耶穌。
耶穌回答說:「你們以為這些加里肋亞人,比其他所有加里肋亞人更有罪,才遭此禍害嗎?不是的。我告訴你們:如果你們不悔改,你們都要同樣喪亡。
「就如史羅亞塔倒下,壓死了十八個人,你們以為他們比耶路撒冷其他所有居民,罪債更大嗎?不是的。我告訴你們:如果你們不悔改,你們都要同樣喪亡。」
耶穌講了這個比喻,說:「有一個人將一棵無花果樹,栽種在自己的葡萄園內。他來在樹上找果子,但沒有找到,便對園丁說:你看,我三年來,在這棵無花果樹上找果子,竟沒有找到。你砍掉它吧,為什麼讓它白佔土地?
「園丁回答說:主人,再留它這一年吧!等我在它周圍掘上土,加上糞;將來,如果結果子,便算了;不然的話,你就把它砍掉。」

A Reading from the Holy Gospel according to Luke 13:1-9

Some people told Jesus about the Galileans whose blood Pilate had mingled with the blood of their sacrifices. Jesus said to them in reply, “Do you think that because these Galileans suffered in this way they were greater sinners than all other Galileans? By no means! But I tell you, if you do not repent, you will all perish as they did! Or those eighteen people who were killed when the tower at Siloam fell on them— do you think they were more guilty than everyone else who lived in Jerusalem?
By no means! But I tell you, if you do not repent, you will all perish as they did!”
And he told them this parable: “There once was a person who had a fig tree planted in his orchard, and when he came in search of fruit on it but found none, he said to the gardener, ‘For three years now I have come in search of fruit on this fig tree but have found none. So cut it down. Why should it exhaust the soil?’ He said to him in reply, ‘Sir, leave it for this year also, and I shall cultivate the ground around it and fertilize it; it may bear fruit in the future. If not you can cut it down.'”
