神父講道 – 常年期第十八週 (週一) (2019年8月5日)

恭讀聖瑪竇福音 14:13-21

耶穌一聽若翰的死訊,就從那裏上船,私下退到荒野地方;群眾聽說了,就從各城裏步行跟了他去。他一下船,看見一大夥群眾,便對他動了憐憫的心,治好了他們的病人。到了傍晚,門徒到他跟前說:「這地方是荒野,時候已不早了,請你遣散群眾吧!叫他們各自到村莊去買食物。」耶穌卻對他們說:「他們不必去,你們給他們吃的吧!」門徒對他說:「我們這裏什麼也沒有,只有五個餅和兩條魚。」耶穌說:「你們給我拿到這裏來!」遂又吩咐群眾坐在草地上,然後拿起那五個餅和兩條魚,望天祝福了;把餅擘開,遞給門徒,門徒再分給群眾。眾人吃了,也都飽了;然後他們把剩餘的碎塊收了滿滿十二籃。吃的人數,除了婦女和小孩子外,約有五千。

A Reading from the Holy Gospel according to Matthew 14:13-21

When Jesus heard of the death of John the Baptist, he withdrew in a boat to a deserted place by himself. The crowds heard of this and followed him on foot from their towns. When he disembarked and saw the vast crowd, his heart was moved with pity for them, and he cured their sick. When it was evening, the disciples approached him and said, “This is a deserted place and it is already late; dismiss the crowds so that they can go to the villages and buy food for themselves.” He said to them, “There is no need for them to go away; give them some food yourselves.” But they said to him, “Five loaves and two fish are all we have here.” Then he said, “Bring them here to me,” and he ordered the crowds to sit down on the grass. Taking the five loaves and the two fish, and looking up to heaven, he said the blessing, broke the loaves, and gave them to the disciples, who in turn gave them to the crowds. They all ate and were satisfied, and they picked up the fragments left over– twelve wicker baskets full. Those who ate were about five thousand men, not counting women and children.
