First Reading: Dn 7:13-14

读经一（他的王权是永远的王权。）

恭读达尼尔先知书 7:13-14

 

As the visions during the night continued, I saw one like a Son of man coming, on the clouds of heaven; when he reached the Ancient One and was presented before him,

我在夜间的神视中观望：看见一位相似人子者，乘着天上的云彩而来，走向万古常存者，便立即被引到万古常存者面前。

 

the one like a Son of man received dominion, glory, and kingship; all peoples, nations, and languages serve him.

万古常存者便赐给那相似人子者，统治权、尊荣和国度。各民族、各邦国及各种语言的人民，都要事奉那相似人子者；

 

His dominion is an everlasting dominion that shall not be taken away, his kingship shall not be destroyed.

他的王权是永远的王权，永存不替；他的国度永不灭亡。

To him who loves us and has freed us from our sins by his blood, who has made us into a kingdom, priests for his God and Father, to him be glory and power forever and ever. Amen.

Yes. Amen. "I am the Alpha and the Omega, " says the Lord God, "the one who is and who was and who is to come, the almighty."

的确这样。阿们。我是“阿耳法”和“敖默加”，那今在、昔在，及将来永在的，全能者上主天主，这样说。

Gospel  Jn 18:33b-37

福音（你说的是，我是君王。）

恭读圣若望福音 18:33-37

 

Pilate said to Jesus, "Are you the King of the Jews?" Jesus answered, "Do you say this on your own or have others told you about me?"

那时候，比拉多对耶稣说：“你是犹太人的君王吗？”耶稣回答说：“这话是你自己说的，或是别人论及我，而对你说的？”

 

Pilate answered, "I am not a Jew, am I? Your own nation and the chief priests handed you over to me. What have you done?"

比拉多答说：“莫非我是犹太人？你的民族和司祭长，把你交给我，你做了什么？”

 

Jesus answered, "My kingdom does not belong to this world. If my kingdom did belong to this world,

耶稣回答说：“我的国不属于这世界；如果我的国属于这世界，

 

my attendants would be fighting to keep me from being handed over to the Jews. But as it is, my kingdom is not here."

我的臣民早已反抗了，使我不至于被交给犹太人；但是，我的国不是这世界的。”

 

So Pilate said to him, "Then you are a king?" Jesus answered, "You say I am a king.

于是，比拉多对耶稣说：“那么，你就是君王了？”耶稣回答说：“你说的是，我是君王。

 

For this I was born and for this I came into the world, to testify to the truth. Everyone who belongs to the truth listens to my voice."

我为此而生，我也为此而来到世界上，为给真理作证；凡属于真理的，必听从我的声音。”
