若望福音 14:7-14

在今天的福音中,耶穌對門徒說:「凡信我的,我所做的事業,他也要做,並且還要作比這些更大的事業」。我們聽到這話,心中不免驚訝。耶穌是天主,人怎能做出更大的事業?

人的能力當然有限,但耶穌說:「你們因我的名無論求父什麼,我必要踐行」,只要我們為了愛祂而求,祈求的不是相反祂意願的事,祂就會俯允;也就是這個緣故,我們能做「更大的事業」。

John 14:7-14

In today's gospel, Jesus said to His disciples: "whoever believes in me will do the works that I do, and will do greater ones than these". When we hear these words, we might be surprised. Jesus is the Lord, how could humans do greater works?

Our human capabilities are limited, but Jesus said: "If you ask anything of me in my name, I will do it." As long as we ask Him out of the love for Him, and that it is not something that is against His will, He will do it. And for this reason, we are able to do "greater works".
