神父講道 – 四旬期第四週 (週六) (2019年4月6日)

恭讀聖若望福音 7:40-53

那時候,群眾中有些人聽了耶穌的話,便說:「這人真是那位先知。」另有些人說:「這人是默西亞。」但也有人說:「難道默西亞能來自加里肋亞嗎?經上不是說:默西亞要出自達味的後裔,來自達味出生的村莊白冷嗎?」因此,為了耶穌的緣故,在群眾中起了紛爭。他們中有些人願捉拿他,但誰也沒有向他下手。差役回到司祭長和法利塞人那裏;司祭長和法利塞人問他們說:「為什麼你們沒有把他帶來?」差役回答說:「從來沒有一個人如此講話,像這人講話一樣。」法利塞人遂向他們說:「難道你們也受了煽惑嗎?首長中或法利塞人中,難道有人信仰了他嗎?但是,這些不明白法律的群眾,是可詛咒的!」他們中有一個,即先前曾來到耶穌那裏的尼苛德摩,遂向他們說:「如果不先聽取人的口供,和查明他所作的事,難道我們的法律就許定他的罪麼?」他們回答他說:「難道你也是出自加里肋亞麼?你去查考,你就能知道:從加里肋亞不會出先知的。」然後,他們就各自回家去了。

A Reading from the Holy Gospel according to John 7:40-53

Some in the crowd who heard these words of Jesus said, “This is truly the Prophet.” Others said, “This is the Christ.” But others said, “The Christ will not come from Galilee, will he? Does not Scripture say that the Christ will be of David’s family and come from Bethlehem, the village where David lived?” So a division occurred in the crowd because of him. Some of them even wanted to arrest him, but no one laid hands on him.
So the guards went to the chief priests and Pharisees, who asked them, “Why did you not bring him?” The guards answered, “Never before has anyone spoken like this man.” So the Pharisees answered them, “Have you also been deceived? Have any of the authorities or the Pharisees believed in him? But this crowd, which does not know the law, is accursed.” Nicodemus, one of their members who had come to him earlier, said to them, “Does our law condemn a man before it first hears him and finds out what he is doing?” They answered and said to him, “You are not from Galilee also, are you? Look and see that no prophet arises from Galilee.”
Then each went to his own house.

神父講道 – 四旬期第四週 耶穌聖心 (週五) (2019年4月5日)

恭讀聖若望福音 7:1-2,10,25-30

那時候,耶穌周遊於加里肋亞,而不願周遊於猶太,因為猶太人要圖謀殺害他。那時,猶太人的慶節,帳棚節近了,耶穌的弟兄們上去過節以後,他也去了,但不是明顯的,而是暗中去的。
於是,有幾個耶路撒冷人說:「這不是人們所要圖謀殺害的人嗎?看,他放膽地講論,而沒有人對他說什麼,難道首長們也確認這人就是默西亞嗎?可是,我們知道這人是那裏的;然而,當默西亞來時,卻沒有人知道他是那裏的。」於是耶穌在聖殿施教時,大聲喊說:「你們認識我,也知道我是那裏的;但我不是由我自己而來,而是那真實者派遣我來的,你們卻不認識他;我認識他,因為我是出於他,是他派遣了我。」他們想捉住他,但沒有人向他下手,因為他的時辰還沒有到。

(4th Week of Lent – Friday – Sacred Heart)

A Reading from the Holy Gospel according to John 7:1-2,10,25-30

Jesus moved about within Galilee; he did not wish to travel in Judea, because the Jews were trying to kill him. But the Jewish feast of Tabernacles was near.
But when his brothers had gone up to the feast, he himself also went up, not openly but as it were in secret.
Some of the inhabitants of Jerusalem said, “Is he not the one they are trying to kill? And look, he is speaking openly and they say nothing to him. Could the authorities have realized that he is the Christ? But we know where he is from. When the Christ comes, no one will know where he is from.” So Jesus cried out in the temple area as he was teaching and said, “You know me and also know where I am from. Yet I did not come on my own, but the one who sent me, whom you do not know, is true. I know him, because I am from him, and he sent me.” So they tried to arrest him, but no one laid a hand upon him, because his hour had not yet come.
