读经一
恭读圣保禄宗徒致得撒洛尼人后书 2:1-3, 14-17
弟兄们：关于我们的主耶稣基督的来临，和我们聚集到他前的事，我们请求你们，不要因着什么神恩，或什么言论，或什么似乎出于我们的书信，好像说主的日子迫近了，就迅速失去理智，惊慌失措。不要让人用任何方法欺骗你们。
天主也借着我们宣讲的福音召叫了你们，为获得我们的主耶稣基督的光荣。所以，弟兄们，你们要站立稳定，要坚持你们或由我们的言论，或由我们的书信所学得的传授。愿我们的主耶稣基督，和那爱我们，并开恩将永远的安慰和美好的希望，赐与我们的父天主，鼓励你们的心，并在各种善工善言上，坚固你们。
Reading 1
A reading from the second letter of St. Paul to the Thessalonians 2:1-3A, 14-17
We ask you, brothers and sisters,
with regard to the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ
and our assembling with him,
not to be shaken out of your minds suddenly,
or to be alarmed either by a “spirit,” or by an oral statement,
or by a letter allegedly from us
to the effect that the day of the Lord is at hand.
Let no one deceive you in any way.
To this end he has also called you through our Gospel
to possess the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Therefore, brothers and sisters, stand firm
and hold fast to the traditions that you were taught,
either by an oral statement or by a letter of ours.
May our Lord Jesus Christ himself and God our Father,
who has loved us and given us everlasting encouragement
and good hope through his grace,
encourage your hearts and strengthen them
in every good deed and word.
福音
恭读圣玛窦福音 23:23-26
那时候，耶稣对民众和众门徒讲论说：“祸哉，你们经师和法利塞假善人！因为你们捐献十分之一的薄荷、茴香和莳萝，却忽视了法律上最重要的公义、仁慈与信义；这些固然该作，那些也不可放过。瞎眼的向导！你们滤出蚊蚋，却吞下了骆驼。
“祸哉，你们经师和法利塞假善人！因为你们洗擦杯盘的外面，里面却满是劫掠与贪欲。瞎眼的法利塞人！你先应清洁杯的里面，好叫它外面也成为清洁的。”
Gospel
A reading from the Holy Gospel according to Matthew 22:23-26
Jesus said:
“Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, you hypocrites.
You pay tithes of mint and dill and cummin,
and have neglected the weightier things of the law:
judgment and mercy and fidelity.
But these you should have done, without neglecting the others.
Blind guides, who strain out the gnat and swallow the camel!“Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, you hypocrites.
You cleanse the outside of cup and dish,
but inside they are full of plunder and self-indulgence.
Blind Pharisee, cleanse first the inside of the cup,
so that the outside also may be clean.”
