First reading (Genesis 18: 20–33)
A reading from the book of Genesis.
In those days, the LORD said: "The outcry against Sodom and Gomorrah is so great, and their sin so grave, that I must go down and see whether or not their actions fully correspond to the cry against them that comes to me. I mean to find out." While Abraham's visitors walked on farther toward Sodom, the LORD remained standing before Abraham. Then Abraham drew nearer and said: "Will you sweep away the innocent with the guilty? Suppose there were fifty innocent people in the city; would you wipe out the place, rather than spare it for the sake of the fifty innocent people within it? Far be it from you to do such a thing, to make the innocent die with the guilty so that the innocent and the guilty would be treated alike! Should not the judge of all the world act with justice?" The LORD replied, "If I find fifty innocent people in the city of Sodom, I will spare the whole place for their sake." Abraham spoke up again: "See how I am presuming to speak to my Lord, though I am but dust and ashes! What if there are five less than fifty innocent people? Will you destroy the whole city because of those five?" He answered, "I will not destroy it, if I find forty-five there." But Abraham persisted, saying "What if only forty are found there?" He replied, "I will forbear doing it for the sake of the forty." Then Abraham said, "Let not my Lord grow impatient if I go on. What if only thirty are found there?" He replied, "I will forbear doing it if I can find but thirty there." Still, Abraham went on, "Since I have thus dared to speak to my Lord, what if there are no more than twenty?" The LORD answered, "I will not destroy it, for the sake of the twenty." But he still persisted: "Please, let not my Lord grow angry if I speak up this last time. What if there are at least ten there?" He replied, "For the sake of those ten, I will not destroy it."
Second reading (Colossians 2: 12–14)
A reading from the letter of Saint Paul to the Colossians.
Brothers and sisters: You were buried with him in baptism, in which you were also raised with him through faith in the power of God, who raised him from the dead. And even when you were dead in transgressions and the uncircumcision of your flesh, he brought you to life along with him, having forgiven us all our transgressions; obliterating the bond against us, with its legal claims, which was opposed to us, he also removed it from our midst, nailing it to the cross.
Gospel (Luke 11: 1–13)
A reading from the holy Gospel according to Luke.
Jesus was praying in a certain place, and when he had finished, one of his disciples said to him, "Lord, teach us to pray just as John taught his disciples." He said to them, "When you pray, say: Father, hallowed be your name, your kingdom come. Give us each day our daily bread and forgive us our sins for we ourselves forgive everyone in debt to us, and do not subject us to the final test." And he said to them, "Suppose one of you has a friend to whom he goes at midnight and says, 'Friend, lend me three loaves of bread, for a friend of mine has arrived at my house from a journey and I have nothing to offer him,' and he says in reply from within, 'Do not bother me; the door has already been locked and my children and I are already in bed. I cannot get up to give you anything.' I tell you, if he does not get up to give the visitor the loaves because of their friendship, he will get up to give him whatever he needs because of his persistence. "And I tell you, ask and you will receive; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. For everyone who asks, receives; and the one who seeks, finds; and to the one who knocks, the door will be opened. What father among you would hand his son a snake when he asks for a fish? Or hand him a scorpion when he asks for an egg? If you then, who are wicked, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will the Father in heaven give the Holy Spirit to those who ask him?"

First reading (Genesis 18: 20–33)
A reading from the book of Genesis.
Then the Lord stated, "How great is the cry for justice against Sodom and Gomorrah! And how grievous is their sin! I am going to see if they have done all that they are charged within the outcry that has reached me. If it is not so, I will know." The men with him turned away and went towards Sodom, but the Lord remained standing before Abraham. Abraham went forward and stated, "Will you really let the just perish with the wicked? Perhaps there are fifty good people in the town. Are you really going to let them perish? Would you not spare the place for the sake of these fifty righteous people? It would not be at all like you to do such a thing and you cannot let the good perish with the wicked, nor treat the good and the wicked alike. Far be it from you! Will not the judge of all the earth be just?" Then the Lord stated, "If I find fifty good people in Sodom, I will spare the whole place for their sake." Abraham spoke up again, "I know that I am very bold to speak like this to my Lord, I who am only dust and ashes! But perhaps the number of the good is five less than fifty. Will you destroy the town because of five?" The Lord replied, "I will not destroy the town if I find forty-five good people there." Again Abraham stated to the Lord, "Perhaps there will be only forty." The Lord answered, "For the sake of forty, I will not do it." Abraham continued, stating, "May the Lord not be angry, but let me speak. Maybe only thirty good people will be found in the town." The Lord answered, "I will not destroy it if I find thirty there." Abraham stated, "Now that I have been so bold as to speak to my Lord, what if only twenty can be found?" He stated, "For they speak of twenty, I will not destroy the place." But Abraham insisted, "May my Lord not be angry, but let me speak just once more. What if only ten can be found?" And the Lord answered, "For the sake of ten good people, I will not destroy Sodom." When the Lord had finished speaking with Abraham, he left, and Abraham went home.
Second reading (Colossians 2: 12–14)
A reading from the letter of Saint Paul to the Colossians.
Brothers and sisters: I refer to baptism. On receiving it you were buried with Christ, and you also rose with him for having believed in the power of God who raised him from the dead. You were dead. You were in sin and uncircumcised at the same time. But God gave you life with Christ. He forgave all our sins. He canceled the record of our debts, those regulations which accused us. He did away with all that and nailed it to the cross.
Gospel (Luke 11: 1–13)
A reading from the holy Gospel according to Luke.
One day Jesus was praying in a certain place and when he had finished, one of his disciples stated to him, "Lord, teach us to pray, just as John taught his disciples." And Jesus stated to them, "When you pray, say this: 'Father, hallowed be your name, may your kingdom come, give us each day the kind of bread we need, and forgive us our sins, for we also forgive all who do us wrong, and do not bring us to the test.'" Jesus added, stating this to his disciples, "Suppose one of you has a friend and goes to his house in the middle of the night and says: 'Friend, lend me three loaves, for a friend of mine who is traveling has just arrived and I have nothing to offer him.' Maybe your friend will answer from inside: 'Do not bother me now; the door is locked and my children and I are in bed, so I cannot get up and give you anything.' But I tell you, even though he will not get up and attend to you because you are a friend, yet he will get up because you are a bother to him, and he will give you all you need. And so I say to you, 'Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you. For the one who asks, receives; and the one who searches, finds; and to him who knocks the door will be opened. If your child asks for a fish, will you give a snake instead? And if your child asks for an egg, will you give a scorpion? Even you evil people know how to give good gifts to your children; then how much more will the Father in heaven give holy spirit to those who ask him?"

Responsorial Psalm (Psalm 138) (Verses 1–3 and 6–8)
ReplyDeleteThe response is: Lord, on the day I called for help, you answered me.
I will give thanks to you, O LORD, with all my heart, for you have heard the words of my mouth; in the presence of the angels I will sing your praise; I will worship at your holy temple and give thanks to your name.
Because of your kindness and your truth; for you have made great above all things your name and your promise. When I called you answered me; you built up strength within me.
The LORD is exalted, yet the lowly he sees, and the proud he knows from afar. Though I walk amid distress, you preserve me; against the anger of my enemies you raise your hand.
Your right hand saves me. The LORD will complete what he has done for me; your kindness, O LORD, endures forever; forsake not the work of your hands.

Dijo entonces Yahvé: “La denuncia contra Sodoma y Gomorra es terrible, y su pecado es grande. Voy a visitarlos, y comprobaré si han actuado según esas denuncias que han llegado hasta mí. Si no es así, lo sabré.” Los hombres partieron y se dirigieron a Sodoma, mientras Yahvé se quedaba de pie delante de Abraham. Se acercó entonces Abraham y le dijo: “¿Es cierto que vas a exterminar al justo junto con el malvado? Tal vez haya cincuenta justos dentro de la ciudad: ¿es cierto que vas a acabar con todos y no perdonar el lugar en atención a esos cincuenta justos? ¡Tú no vas a hacer algo semejante, permitir que el bueno sea tratado igual que el malvado! ¿O es que el juez de toda la tierra no aceptará lo que es justo?” Yahvé le dijo: “Si encuentro en Sodoma cincuenta justos dentro de la ciudad, perdonaré a todo el lugar en atención a ellos.” Abraham volvió a hablar: “Sé que a lo mejor es un atrevimiento hablar a mi Señor, yo que soy polvo y ceniza, pero si faltan cinco justos para llegar a los cincuenta, ¿destruirás la ciudad por esos cinco que faltan?” Yahvé respondió: “No habrá destrucción si encuentro allí cuarenta y cinco hombres justos.” Abraham insistió: “Pero a lo mejor se encuentran allí sólo cuarenta justos.” Yahvé contestó: “En atención a esos cuarenta, no lo haré.” Abraham continuó todavía: “No se enoje mi Señor si sigo hablando, pero tal vez no se encuentren más que treinta justos.” Yahvé contestó: “No lo haré si encuentro allí treinta justos.” Abraham insistió: “Sé que es una osadía por mi parte hablar así a mi Señor; pero, ¿y si se encuentran allí solamente veinte justos?” Yahvé contestó: “No destruiré el lugar, en atención a esos veinte.” Abraham dijo: “Vaya, no se enoje mi Señor, y hablaré por última vez. Puede ser que se encuentren allí sólo diez.” Yahvé dijo: “En atención a esos diez, no destruiré la ciudad.” Cuando Yahvé terminó de hablar con Abraham se fue, mientras Abraham volvió a su casa.

La respuesta es: Cuando te invoqué, Señor, me escuchaste.
• Te doy gracias, Señor, de todo corazón, te cantaré en presencia de los ángeles. Me postraré ante tu santo Templo, y daré gracias a tu Nombre.
• Te daré gracias por tu amor y tu fidelidad, y tu promesa ha superado tu renombre. Me respondiste cada vez que te invoqué y aumentaste la fuerza de mi alma.
• El Señor está en las alturas, pero se fija en el humilde y reconoce al orgulloso desde lejos. Si camino entre peligros, me conservas la vida, extiendes tu mano contra el furor de mi enemigo, y tu derecha me salva.
• El Señor lo hará todo por mí. Señor, tu amor es eterno, ¡no abandones la obra de tus manos!
Segunda lectura (Colosenses 2: 12–14)
Una lectura de la carta de San Pablo a los colosenses.
En el bautismo, ustedes fueron sepultados con él, y con él resucitaron, por la fe en el poder de Dios que lo resucitó de entre los muertos. Ustedes estaban muertos a causa de sus pecados y de la incircuncisión de su carne, pero Cristo los hizo revivir con él, perdonando todas nuestras faltas. Él canceló el acta de condenación que nos era contraria, con todas sus cláusulas, y la hizo desaparecer clavándola en la cruz.

Un día, Jesús estaba orando en cierto lugar, y cuando terminó, uno de sus discípulos le dijo: “Señor, enséñanos a orar, así como Juan enseñó a sus discípulos”. Él les dijo entonces: “Cuando oren, digan: Padre, santificado sea tu Nombre, que venga tu Reino, danos cada día nuestro pan cotidiano; perdona nuestros pecados, porque también nosotros perdonamos a aquellos que nos ofenden; y no nos dejes caer en la tentación”. Jesús agregó: “Supongamos que algunos de ustedes tiene un amigo y recurre a él a medianoche, para decirle: ‘Amigo, préstame tres panes, porque uno de mis amigos llegó de viaje y no tengo nada que ofrecerle’, y desde adentro él le responde: ‘No me fastidies; ahora la puerta está cerrada, y mis hijos y yo estamos acostados. No puedo levantarme para dártelos’. Yo les aseguro que aunque él no se levante para dárselos por ser su amigo, se levantará al menos a causa de su insistencia y le dará todo lo necesario. También les aseguro: pidan y se les dará, busquen y encontrarán, llamen y se les abrirá. Porque el que pide, recibe; el que busca, encuentra; y al que llama, se le abre. ¿Hay entre ustedes algún padre que da a su hijo una piedra cuando le pide pan? ¿Y si le pide un pescado, le dará en su lugar una serpiente? ¿Y si le pide un huevo, le dará un escorpión? Si ustedes, que son malos, saben dar cosas buenas a sus hijos, cuánto más el Padre del cielo dará el Espíritu Santo a aquellos que se lo pidan”.

Sesudah itu berfirmanlah TUHAN: "Sesungguhnya banyak keluh kesah orang tentang Sodom dan Gomora dan sesungguhnya sangat berat dosanya. Baiklah Aku turun untuk melihat, apakah benar-benar mereka telah berkelakuan seperti keluh kesah orang yang telah sampai kepada-Ku atau tidak; Aku hendak mengetahuinya." Lalu berpalinglah orang-orang itu dari situ dan berjalan ke Sodom, tetapi Abraham masih tetap berdiri di hadapan TUHAN. Abraham datang mendekat dan berkata: "Apakah Engkau akan melenyapkan orang benar bersama-sama dengan orang fasik? Bagaimana sekiranya ada lima puluh orang benar dalam kota itu? Apakah Engkau akan melenyapkan tempat itu dan tidakkah Engkau mengampuninya karena kelima puluh orang benar yang ada di dalamnya itu? Jauhlah kiranya dari pada-Mu untuk berbuat demikian, membunuh orang benar bersama-sama dengan orang fasik, sehingga orang benar itu seolah-olah sama dengan orang fasik! Jauhlah kiranya yang demikian dari pada-Mu! Masakan Hakim segenap bumi tidak menghukum dengan adil?" TUHAN berfirman: "Jika Kudapati lima puluh orang benar dalam kota Sodom, Aku akan mengampuni seluruh tempat itu karena mereka." Abraham menyahut: "Sesungguhnya aku telah memberanikan diri berkata kepada Tuhan, walaupun aku debu dan abu. Sekiranya kurang lima orang dari kelima puluh orang benar itu, apakah Engkau akan memusnahkan seluruh kota itu karena yang lima itu?" Firman-Nya: "Aku tidak memusnahkannya, jika Kudapati empat puluh lima di sana." Lagi Abraham melanjutkan perkataannya kepada-Nya: "Sekiranya empat puluh didapati di sana?" Firman-Nya: "Aku tidak akan berbuat demikian karena yang empat puluh itu." Katanya: "Janganlah kiranya Tuhan murka, kalau aku berkata sekali lagi. Sekiranya tiga puluh didapati di sana?" Firman-Nya: "Aku tidak akan berbuat demikian, jika Kudapati tiga puluh di sana." Katanya: "Sesungguhnya aku telah memberanikan diri berkata kepada Tuhan. Sekiranya dua puluh didapati di sana?" Firman-Nya: "Aku tidak akan memusnahkannya karena yang dua puluh itu." Katanya: "Janganlah kiranya Tuhan murka, kalau aku berkata lagi sekali ini saja. Sekiranya sepuluh didapati di sana?" Firman-Nya: "Aku tidak akan memusnahkannya karena yang sepuluh itu." Lalu pergilah TUHAN, setelah Ia selesai berfirman kepada Abraham; dan kembalilah Abraham ke tempat tinggalnya.

Pada suatu kali Yesus sedang berdoa di salah satu tempat. Ketika Ia berhenti berdoa, berkatalah seorang dari murid-murid-Nya kepada-Nya: "Tuhan, ajarlah kami berdoa, sama seperti yang diajarkan Yohanes kepada murid-muridnya." Jawab Yesus kepada mereka: "Apabila kamu berdoa, katakanlah: Bapa, dikuduskanlah nama-Mu; datanglah Kerajaan-Mu. Berikanlah kami setiap hari makanan kami yang secukupnya dan ampunilah kami akan dosa kami, sebab kamipun mengampuni setiap orang yang bersalah kepada kami; dan janganlah membawa kami ke dalam pencobaan." Lalu kata-Nya kepada mereka: "Jika seorang di antara kamu pada tengah malam pergi ke rumah seorang sahabatnya dan berkata kepadanya: Saudara, pinjamkanlah kepadaku tiga roti, sebab seorang sahabatku yang sedang berada dalam perjalanan singgah ke rumahku dan aku tidak mempunyai apa-apa untuk dihidangkan kepadanya; masakan ia yang di dalam rumah itu akan menjawab: Jangan mengganggu aku, pintu sudah tertutup dan aku serta anak-anakku sudah tidur; aku tidak dapat bangun dan memberikannya kepada saudara. Aku berkata kepadamu: Sekalipun ia tidak mau bangun dan memberikannya kepadanya karena orang itu adalah sahabatnya, namun karena sikapnya yang tidak malu itu, ia akan bangun juga dan memberikan kepadanya apa yang diperlukannya. Oleh karena itu Aku berkata kepadamu: Mintalah, maka akan diberikan kepadamu; carilah, maka kamu akan mendapat; ketoklah, maka pintu akan dibukakan bagimu. Karena setiap orang yang meminta, menerima dan setiap orang yang mencari, mendapat dan setiap orang yang mengetok, baginya pintu dibukakan. Bapa manakah di antara kamu, jika anaknya minta ikan dari padanya, akan memberikan ular kepada anaknya itu ganti ikan? Atau, jika ia minta telur, akan memberikan kepadanya kalajengking? Jadi jika kamu yang jahat tahu memberi pemberian yang baik kepada anak-anakmu, apalagi Bapamu yang di sorga! Ia akan memberikan Roh Kudus kepada mereka yang meminta kepada-Nya."

Kaya't sinabi ni Yahweh, “Katakut-takot na ang sumbong sa akin laban sa Sodoma at Gomorra, at napakalaki ng kanilang kasalanan. Kaya't bababâ ako roon at aalamin ko kung totoo o hindi ang paratang laban sa kanila.” Umalis nga ang mga lalaki at nagpunta sa Sodoma, ngunit naroon pa rin si Yahweh sa tabi ni Abraham. Itinanong ni Abraham, “Lilipulin po ba ninyo ang lahat ng tao, ang mabubuti kasama ng masasama? Sakali pong may limampung mabubuting tao sa lunsod, wawasakin pa rin ba ninyo iyon? Hindi po ba ninyo patatawarin ang lunsod alang-alang sa limampung iyon? Naniniwala po akong hindi ninyo idaramay ang mabubuti. Hindi ninyo gagawin iyon sapagkat kung ganito ang mangyayari, parehong magdurusa ang masama at ang mabuti. Hindi ninyo magagawa iyon! Makatarungan ang Hukom ng buong daigdig!” At sumagot si Yahweh, “Hindi ko wawasakin ang lunsod alang-alang sa limampung mabubuting tao.” “Ipagpaumanhin po ninyo ang aking kapangahasan,” wika ni Abraham, “wala po akong karapatang magsalita sa inyo, sapagkat ako'y isang hamak na tao lamang. Kung wala pong limampu, at apatnapu't lima lamang ang mabubuti, wawasakin pa rin ba ninyo ang lunsod?” “Hindi, hindi ko wawasakin alang-alang sa apatnapu't limang iyon,” tugon ni Yahweh. Nagtanong muli si Abraham, “Kung apatnapu lamang?” “Hindi ko wawasakin ang lunsod alang-alang sa apatnapung iyon,” tugon sa kanya. “Huwag sana kayong magagalit, magtatanong pa ako. Kung tatlumpu lamang ang mabuting tao roon, wawasakin ba ninyo?” Sinagot siya, “Hindi ko wawasakin ang lunsod alang-alang sa tatlumpung iyon.” Sinabi pa ni Abraham, “Mangangahas po uli ako. Kung dalawampu na lamang ang mabubuting tao roon?” “Hindi ko pa rin wawasakin ang lunsod alang-alang sa dalawampung iyon,” muling sagot sa kanya. Sa huling pagkakataon ay nagtanong si Abraham, “Ito na po lamang ang itatanong ko: Paano po kung sampu lamang ang mabubuting tao roon?” “Hindi ko pa rin wawasakin ang lunsod alang-alang sa sampung iyon,” sagot ni Yahweh. Pagkasabi nito, umalis na si Yahweh at umuwi naman si Abraham.

Ang pagbabasa sa sulat ni San Pablo sa mga taga-Colosas.
Sa pamamagitan ng bautismo, nailibing kayong kasama ni Cristo at muli rin kayong nabuhay na kasama niya dahil sa inyong pananalig sa kapangyarihan ng Diyos na muling bumuhay sa kanya. Kayong dating patay dahil sa kasalanan, kayong mga Hentil na hindi saklaw ng pagtutuli ayon sa Kautusan ay binuhay ng Diyos na kasama ni Cristo. Pinatawad niya ang ating mga kasalanan at pinawalang-bisa ang lahat ng naisulat na alituntunin laban sa atin, pati ang mga pananagutang kaugnay nito. Pinawi niya ang lahat ng ito nang ipako siya sa krus.
Ebanghelyo (Lucas 11: 1–13)
DeleteAng magandang balita ayon kay San Lucas.
Minsan, nanalangin si Jesus sa isang lugar. Nang siya'y matapos, sinabi ng isa sa kanyang mga alagad, “Panginoon, turuan po ninyo kaming manalangin, tulad ng ginawa ni Juan sa kanyang mga alagad.” Sinabi ni Jesus sa kanila, “Kung kayo'y mananalangin, sabihin ninyo, ‘Ama, sambahin nawa ang iyong pangalan. Dumating nawa ang iyong kaharian. Bigyan mo kami ng aming pagkain sa araw-araw. At patawarin mo kami sa aming mga kasalanan, sapagkat pinapatawad namin ang bawat nagkakasala sa amin. At huwag mo kaming hayaang matukso.’” Sinabi pa rin niya sa kanila, “Ipalagay nating isang hatinggabi, isa sa inyo'y nagpunta sa isa ninyong kaibigan at nakiusap, ‘Kaibigan, pahiram muna ng tatlong tinapay. Dumating kasi ang isa kong kaibigang naglalakbay at wala akong maihain sa kanya!’ At ganito naman ang sagot ng kaibigan mong nasa loob ng bahay, ‘Huwag mo akong gambalain! Sarado na ang pinto at nakahiga na kami ng aking mga anak. Hindi na ako makakabangon para bigyan ka ng kahit ano.’ Sinasabi ko sa inyo, hindi man siya bumangon dahil sa kanilang pagiging magkaibigan, babangon siya upang ibigay ang hinihingi ng kaibigan dahil sa pagpupumilit nito. Kaya't sinasabi ko sa inyo, humingi kayo at kayo'y bibigyan; humanap kayo at kayo'y makakatagpo; kumatok kayo at kayo'y pagbubuksan. Sapagkat ang bawat humihingi ay tatanggap; ang bawat humahanap ay makakatagpo; at ang bawat kumakatok ay pagbubuksan. Kayong mga ama, bibigyan ba ninyo ng ahas ang inyong anak kung ito'y humihingi ng isda? Bibigyan ba ninyo siya ng alakdan kung siya'y humihingi ng itlog? Kayo ngang masasama ay marunong magbigay ng mabubuting kaloob sa inyong mga anak. Lalo na ang inyong Ama na nasa langit, na magbibigay ng Espiritu Santo sa mga humihingi sa kanya!”

そこで主は、アブラハムに打ち明けました。「ソドムとゴモラの住民は、すっかり悪に染まってしまったという。ずいぶんひどいことをしているようだ。今、その知らせがほんとうかどうか調べに行くところなのだ。向こうに着けばはっきりわかるだろう。」ほかの二人は、そのままソドムへ向かいましたが、アブラハムはなお主の前に立っていました。彼は恐る恐る神に近づいて言いました。「お尋ねしてもよろしいでしょうか。あなたは正しい人も悪人も同じように殺してしまうおつもりですか。もしあの町に正しい人が五十人いたとしても、それでも滅ぼされますか。その人たちのために町を救おうとはなさらないのですか。 だとしたら、正義はどこにあるのでしょう。悪人も正しい人もいっしょに殺してしまうなどということを、あなたがなさるはずはありません。もしも、もしもそんなことをされるなら、正しい人も悪人も全く同じ扱いをされることになってしまいます。あなたは決してそんなことはなさらないでしょう。全地をさばかれる方は、公平でなければならないのですから。」「わかった。正しい人が五十人見つかったら、彼らのために町全体を救うことにしよう。」「ありがとうございます。こう申し上げる私自身が、ちりや灰にすぎない者だということは、よく承知しております。ですが、もう少しお尋ねしてよろしいでしょうか。もし正しい人が四十五人しかいない時にはどうでしょう。五人足りないだけで、町をすべて滅ぼされますか。」「四十五人いれば滅ぼすまい。」「では、四十人しかいなかったら？」「四十人でも。」「どうぞお怒りにならないでください。あえてお聞きするのですが、三十人ではいかがですか。」「やはり滅ぼすまい。」「許されるなら、もう少し続けさせてください。もし二十人だけでしたら？」「よろしい。その二十人のために滅ぼさない。」「神様、お怒りにならないでください。もうひと言だけ、これが最後です。もしも、たった十人だったら、いかがでしょう。」「もうよい。その十人のために町を滅ぼすことはしない。」主はアブラハムと話し終えると、去って行きました。アブラハムは自分のテントに帰って行きました。

ですから、古い性質はキリストと共に死に、共に葬られたのです。そして、キリストを死者の中から復活させた、力ある神のことばを信じたあなたがたは、キリストと共に、新しいいのちへと復活させていただいたのです。あなたがたは、以前は罪の中で死んでいましたが、神は、そんなあなたがたをキリストと共に生かしてくださいました。それは、すべての罪を赦し、神の定めに違反したことが記されているあなたがたに不利な証書を、塗りつぶしてしまわれたからです。この罪の証書は、キリストの十字架と共に釘づけにされて無効となったのです。
福音書（ルカ第11章：第1詩–第13詩）
この読み物はルカの福音書です。
ある時、イエスは外で祈っておられました。ちょうど祈り終えたところへ一人の弟子が来て、「主よ。バプテスマのヨハネが弟子たちに教えたように、私たちにも祈りを教えてください」と願いました。そこでイエスは、「このように祈りなさい」とお教えになりました。「天のお父様。あなたのきよい御名があがめられますように。あなたの御国がすぐに来ますように。私たちに日々必要な食物をお与えください。私たちの罪をお赦しください。私たちも、私たちに罪を犯した者を赦します。私たちを誘惑に会わせないでください。」祈りについての教えはまだ続きました。それが、このたとえです。「真夜中に、どうしてもパンを三つ借りなければならなくなって、友達の家に駆けつけたとします。戸をドンドンたたき、声を張り上げて、『迷惑をかけてすまない。突然のお客があったのだけど、あいにく、家には一切れのパンもないんだ。お願いだから貸してくれないか』と頼みます。友達は何と答えるでしょう。中から、『かんべんしてくれ。いま何時だと思っているんだ。戸じまりもしてしまったし、もうみんな寝ている。何も出してやれないよ』と返って来るだけかもしれません。しかし、友達だからというのでは何もしてくれなくても、しつこく戸をたたき続けるなら、その根気に負けて、必要な物を出してくれるでしょう。祈りも同じです。あきらめずに求め続けなさい。そうすれば与えられます。捜し続けなさい。そうすれば見つかります。戸をたたきなさい。そうすれば開けてもらえます。求める人は与えられ、捜す人は見つけ出し、戸をたたく人は開けてもらえるのです。パンをねだる子どもに、石ころを与える父親がいるでしょうか。魚が食べたいと言う子どもに、毒蛇を与える親がいるでしょうか。卵がほしいと言うのに、さそりを渡したりするでしょうか。もちろん、そんなはずはありません。罪深い人間でさえ、子どもには良い物を与えたいと思うのが人情です。そうだとしたら天の父が、求める者に聖霊を下さらないわけはありません。」
