Friday after Epiphany

主显节后 星期五

 

 

First Reading:  1 JN 5:5-13

读经一（为真理作证的有圣神、水及血。）

恭读圣若望一书 5:5-13

 

Beloved: Who indeed is the victor over the world but the one who believes that Jesus is the Son of God?

可爱的诸位：谁是得胜世界的呢？不是那信耶稣为天主子的人吗？

 

This is the one who came through water and Blood, Jesus Christ, not by water alone, but by water and Blood. The Spirit is the one who testifies, and the Spirit is truth.

这位就是经过水及血而来的耶稣基督，他不但以水，而且也是以水及血而来的；并且有圣神作证，因为圣神是真理。

 

So there are three who testify, the Spirit, the water, and the Blood, and the three are of one accord. If we accept human testimony, the testimony of God is surely greater. Now the testimony of God is this, that he has testified on behalf of his Son.

原来作证的有三个：就是圣神、水及血，而这三个是一致的。人的证据我们既然接受，但天主的证据更大，因为天主的证据就是他为自己的子作证。

 

Whoever believes in the Son of God has this testimony within himself. Whoever does not believe God has made him a liar by not believing the testimony God has given about his Son.

那信天主子的，在自己内就怀有这证据；那不信天主的，就是以天主为撒谎者，因为他不信天主为自己的子所作的证。

 

And this is the testimony: God gave us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. Whoever possesses the Son has life; whoever does not possess the Son of God does not have life.

这证据就是天主将永远的生命赐给了我们，而这生命是在自己的子内。那有子的，就有生命；那没有天主子的，就没有生命。

 

I write these things to you so that you may know that you have eternal life, you who believe in the name of the Son of God.

我给你们这些信天主子名字的人，写了这些事，是为叫你们知道：你们已获有永远的生命。

Gospel  LK 5:12-16

福音（癞病立刻消退。）

恭读圣路加福音 5:12-16

 

It happened that there was a man full of leprosy in one of the towns where Jesus was; and when he saw Jesus, he fell prostrate, pleaded with him, and said, "Lord, if you wish, you can make me clean."

有一次，耶稣在一座城里，看，有一个遍体长癞的人，见了耶稣，就俯首至地求他说：“主！你若愿意，就能洁净我。”

 

Jesus stretched out his hand, touched him, and said, "I do will it. Be made clean." And the leprosy left him immediately.

耶稣便伸手抚摸他说：“我愿意，你洁净了吧！”癞病就立刻由他身上退去。

 

Then he ordered him not to tell anyone, but "Go, show yourself to the priest and offer for your cleansing what Moses prescribed; that will be proof for them."

耶稣切切嘱咐他不要告诉别人，并说：“但要去叫司祭检验你，为你的洁净，献上梅瑟所规定的，给他们当作证据。”

 

The report about him spread all the more, and great crowds assembled to listen to him and to be cured of their ailments, but he would withdraw to deserted places to pray.

他的名声更传扬开了，遂有许多人齐集来听教，并为治好自己的病症。耶稣却退入荒野中去祈祷。
