读经一

恭读圣保禄宗徒致格林多人前书 4:6-15

弟兄们:为了你们的缘故,我以自己和阿颇罗当作例子,好叫你们跟我们学习:不可超过圣经所记载的,免得有人自大,高看这个,鄙视那个。

谁使你异于别人呢?你有什么不是领受的呢?既然是领受的,为什么你还夸耀,好像不是领受的呢?你们已经饱满了,已经富足了,已无需我们,自己可以为王了;恨不得你们真的为王,好叫我们与你们一同为王!我以为天主把我们作宗徒的列在最后一等,好像被判死刑的人,因为我们成了给世界、天使和世人观赏的一场戏剧。我们为了基督成了愚妄的人,你们在基督内却成了聪明的人;我们软弱,你们却强壮;你们受尊敬,我们受羞辱。直到此时此刻,我们仍是忍饥受渴,衣不蔽体,受人拳打,居无定所,并且亲手劳碌工作。被人咒骂,我们就祝福;被人迫害,我们就忍受;被人诽谤,我们就劝戒;直到现在,我们仍被视为世上的垃圾和人间的废物。

我写这些话,并不是为叫你们羞愧,而是为劝告你们,就如同劝告我所亲爱的孩子一样,因为你们纵然在基督内有上万的教师,但为父亲的却不多,因为是我在基督耶稣内借福音生了你们。

Reading 1

A reading from the first letter of St. Paul to the Corinthians 4:6b-15

Brothers and sisters:
Learn from myself and Apollos not to go beyond what is written,
so that none of you will be inflated with pride
in favor of one person over against another.
Who confers distinction upon you?
What do you possess that you have not received?
But if you have received it,
why are you boasting as if you did not receive it?
You are already satisfied; you have already grown rich;
you have become kings without us!
Indeed, I wish that you had become kings,
so that we also might become kings with you.

For as I see it, God has exhibited us Apostles as the last of all,
like people sentenced to death,
since we have become a spectacle to the world,
to angels and men alike.
We are fools on Christ’s account, but you are wise in Christ;
we are weak, but you are strong;
you are held in honor, but we in disrepute.
To this very hour we go hungry and thirsty,
we are poorly clad and roughly treated,
we wander about homeless and we toil, working with our own hands.
When ridiculed, we bless; when persecuted, we endure;
when slandered, we respond gently.
We have become like the world’s rubbish, the scum of all,
to this very moment.

I am writing you this not to shame you,
but to admonish you as my beloved children.
Even if you should have countless guides to Christ,
yet you do not have many fathers,
for I became your father in Christ Jesus through the Gospel.

福音

恭读圣路加福音 6:1-5

一个安息日,耶稣经过麦田时,他的门徒掐了麦穗,用手搓着吃。有几个法利塞人说:“为什么你们做安息日不准做的呢?”耶稣回答说:“你们没有读过:达味和同他在一起的人,在饥饿时所做的吗?他怎样进了天主的殿:拿起供饼来吃了;又给了同他在一起的人吃。这供饼原不准他人吃,而只准司祭吃。”耶稣又向他们说:“人子是安息日的主。”

Gospel

A reading from the Holy Gospel according to Luke 6:1-5

While Jesus was going through a field of grain on a sabbath,
his disciples were picking the heads of grain,
rubbing them in their hands, and eating them.
Some Pharisees said,
“Why are you doing what is unlawful on the sabbath?”
Jesus said to them in reply,
“Have you not read what David did
when he and those who were with him were hungry?
How he went into the house of God, took the bread of offering,
which only the priests could lawfully eat,
ate of it, and shared it with his companions?”
Then he said to them, “The Son of Man is lord of the sabbath.”
