常年期第二十二周星期五
Friday of the Twenty-second Week in Ordinary Time
读经一
恭读圣保禄宗徒致格林多人前书 4:1-5
弟兄们:人当以我们为基督的服务员和天主奥秘的管理人。说到管理人,另外要求于他的,就是要他表现忠信。至于我,或受你们的审断,或受人间法庭的审断,为我都是极小的事,就连我自己也不审断自己,因为我虽然自觉良心无愧,但我决不因此就自断为义人;那审断我的只是主。所以,时候未到,你们什么也不要判断,只等主来,他要揭发暗中的隐情,且要显露人心的计谋:那时,各人才可由天主那里获得称誉。
Reading 1
A reading from the first letter of St. Paul to the Corinthians 4:1-5
Brothers and sisters:
Thus should one regard us: as servants of Christ
and stewards of the mysteries of God.
Now it is of course required of stewards
that they be found trustworthy.
It does not concern me in the least
that I be judged by you or any human tribunal;
I do not even pass judgment on myself;
I am not conscious of anything against me,
but I do not thereby stand acquitted;
the one who judges me is the Lord.
Therefore, do not make any judgment before the appointed time,
until the Lord comes,
for he will bring to light what is hidden in darkness
and will manifest the motives of our hearts,
and then everyone will receive praise from God.
福音
恭读圣路加福音 5:33-39
那时候,法利塞人和经师对耶稣说:“若翰的门徒屡次禁食,行祈祷;法利塞人的门徒也是这样;而你的门徒却又吃又喝!”耶稣回答说:“伴郎与新郎在一起的时候,你们岂能叫他们禁食?但日子将要来到,当新郎从他们手中被劫去时,在那些日子,他们就要禁食了。”他又对他们讲比喻说:“没有人从新衣服上撕下一块作补钉,补在旧衣上的;不然,新的撕破了,而且从新衣上撕下的补钉,与旧的也不相称。也没有人把新酒装入旧皮囊的;不然,新酒要涨破皮囊。酒要流出来,皮囊也破了,所以新酒应装入新皮囊。也没有人喝着陈酒,愿意喝新酒的,因为他说:还是陈酒好。”
Gospel
A reading from the Holy Gospel according to Luke 5:33-39
The scribes and Pharisees said to Jesus,
“The disciples of John the Baptist fast often and offer prayers,
and the disciples of the Pharisees do the same;
but yours eat and drink.”
Jesus answered them, “Can you make the wedding guests fast
while the bridegroom is with them?
But the days will come, and when the bridegroom is taken away from them,
then they will fast in those days.”
And he also told them a parable.
“No one tears a piece from a new cloak to patch an old one.
Otherwise, he will tear the new
and the piece from it will not match the old cloak.
Likewise, no one pours new wine into old wineskins.
Otherwise, the new wine will burst the skins,
and it will be spilled, and the skins will be ruined.
Rather, new wine must be poured into fresh wineskins.
And no one who has been drinking old wine desires new,
for he says, ‘The old is good.’”
