Reading

果鴻 2: 1, 3: 1-3, 6-7

2:1 He ascends, who would scatter before your eyes, who would maintain the blockade. Contemplate the way, fortify your back, reinforce virtue greatly.

3:1 Woe to the city of blood, filled with all manner of lies and violence. Crime shall not depart from you:

3:2 the voice of the whip, and the voice of the turning wheels, and of the neighing horse, and the burning chariot, and the horsemen who ride,

3:3 and of the flashing sword and the shining spear, and of a multitude executed and a grievous ruination. Neither is there an end to the dead bodies, and they will fall down upon their dead bodies.

3:6 And I will cast abominations over you, and I will afflict you with abuse, and I will make an example of you.

3:7 And this shall be: everyone who sees you, will recoil from you, and he will say: “Nineveh has been devastated.” Who will shake his head over you? Where might I seek consolation for you?

Gospel

馬修 16: 24-28

16:24 然後耶穌對他的門徒說: “如果有人肯嚟追我, 畀佢否定自己, 背起他的十字架, 跟住我.

16:25 為咗誰能救他的生命, 會失去它. 但邊個會為咗我而失去生命, 會搵到嘅.

16:26 因為它如何使男人受益, 如果佢獲得成個世界, 卻真的遭受咗靈魂嘅傷害? 抑或一個人應該付出乜嘢嚟換取他的靈魂?

16:27 因為人子必在父嘅榮耀中降臨, 與他的天使. 然後佢會根據佢嘅行為償還每個人.

16:28 阿們，我對你說, 有些人企喺呢度, 邊個唔會嘗到死亡嘅滋味, 直到佢哋睇到人子到位。
