Wednesday of the Fourth Week in Ordinary Time
读经一
恭读致希伯来人书 12:4-7, 11-15
你们与罪恶争斗，还没有抵抗到流血的地步。你们竟全忘了天主劝你们，好像劝子女的话说：“我儿，不要轻视上主的惩戒，也不要厌恶他的谴责，因为上主惩戒他所爱的，鞭打他所接管的每个儿子。”为接受惩戒，你们应该坚忍，因为天主对待你们，就如对待子女；那有儿子，做父亲的不惩戒他呢？
固然各种惩戒，在当时似乎不是乐事，而是苦事；可是，以后却给那些这样受训练的人，结出义德的和平果实。为此，你们应该伸直痿弱的手和麻木的膝；你们的脚应履行正直的路，叫瘸子不要偏离正道，反叫他能得痊愈。你们应设法与众人和平相处，尽力追求圣德；若无圣德，谁也见不到主；又应该谨慎，免得有人疏忽天主的恩宠，免得有苦根子长出来，而累及你们，使许多人因此蒙受玷污。
Reading 1
A reading from the Letter to the Hebrews 12:4-7, 11-15
Brothers and sisters:
In your struggle against sin
you have not yet resisted to the point of shedding blood.
You have also forgotten the exhortation addressed to you as children:
My son, do not disdain the discipline of the Lord
or lose heart when reproved by him;
for whom the Lord loves, he disciplines;
he scourges every son he acknowledges.
Endure your trials as “discipline”;
God treats you as his sons.
For what “son” is there whom his father does not discipline?
At the time, all discipline seems a cause not for joy but for pain,
yet later it brings the peaceful fruit of righteousness
to those who are trained by it.
So strengthen your drooping hands and your weak knees.
Make straight paths for your feet,
that what is lame may not be dislocated but healed.
Strive for peace with everyone,
and for that holiness without which no one will see the Lord.
See to it that no one be deprived of the grace of God,
that no bitter root spring up and cause trouble,
through which many may become defiled.
福音
恭读圣马尔谷福音 6:1-6
耶稣来到自己的家乡，门徒也跟了他来。到了安息日，他便开始在会堂里教训人：众人听了，就惊讶说：“他这一切是从那里来的呢？所赐给他的是什么样的智慧？怎么借他的手行出这样的奇能？这人不就是那个木匠吗？他不是玛利亚的儿子，雅各伯、若瑟、犹达、西满的兄弟吗？他的姐妹不是也都在我们这里吗？”他们便对他起了反感。耶稣对他们说：“先知除了在自己的本乡、本族和本家外，是没有不受尊敬的。”耶稣在那里不能行什么奇能，只给少数的几个病人覆手，治好了他们。他因他们的无信心而感到诧异，遂周游四周各村施教去了。
Gospel
A reading from the Holy Gospel according to Mark 6:1-6
Jesus departed from there and came to his native place, accompanied by his disciples.
When the sabbath came he began to teach in the synagogue,
and many who heard him were astonished.
They said, “Where did this man get all this?
What kind of wisdom has been given him?
What mighty deeds are wrought by his hands!
Is he not the carpenter, the son of Mary,
and the brother of James and Joseph and Judas and Simon?
And are not his sisters here with us?”
And they took offense at him.
Jesus said to them,
“A prophet is not without honor except in his native place
and among his own kin and in his own house.”
So he was not able to perform any mighty deed there,
apart from curing a few sick people by laying his hands on them.
He was amazed at their lack of faith.
