一﹑本週經文Scriptures: 約翰福音12:1-8 Matthew
1逾越節前六日，耶穌來到伯大尼，就是他叫拉撒路從死裡復活之處。2有人在那裡給耶穌預備筵席；馬大伺候，拉撒路也在那同耶穌坐席的人中。3馬利亞就拿著一斤極貴的真哪噠香膏，抹耶穌的腳，又用自己頭髮去擦，屋裡就滿了膏的香氣。4有一個門徒，就是那將要賣耶穌的加略人猶大，5說：「這香膏為甚麼不賣三十兩銀子賙濟窮人呢？」6他說這話，並不是掛念窮人，乃因他是個賊，又帶著錢囊，常取其中所存的。7耶穌說：「由她吧！她是為我安葬之日存留的。8因為常有窮人和你們同在，只是你們不常有我。」
Six days before the Passover, Jesus came to Bethany, where Lazarus lived, whom Jesus had raised from the dead. 2 Here a dinner was given in Jesus’ honor. Martha served, while Lazarus was among those reclining at the table with him. 3 Then Mary took about a pint[a] of pure nard, an expensive perfume; she poured it on Jesus’ feet and wiped his feet with her hair. And the house was filled with the fragrance of the perfume. 4 But one of his disciples, Judas Iscariot, who was later to betray him, objected, 5 “Why wasn’t this perfume sold and the money given to the poor? It was worth a year’s wages.[b]” 6 He did not say this because he cared about the poor but because he was a thief; as keeper of the money bag, he used to help himself to what was put into it. 7 “Leave her alone,” Jesus replied. “It was intended that she should save this perfume for the day of my burial. 8 You will always have the poor among you,[c] but you will not always have me.”
二﹑禱告事項 Prayer Items:
1.為印度禱告：印度在全世界基督徒受迫害排名在今年上升至第11名，印度總理莫迪是印度教民族主義者、人民志願組織（RSS）成員，該組織挑唆、煽動大量針對基督徒的暴力行動，並在其政府領導下，該組織的威脅行動不斷增加。讓我們持續為印度國家領導人禱告，深願神賜下領導與治理的智慧臨到印度，也保守印度的教會不遇見試探、救他們脫離兇惡。
Pray for the India. India’s ranking for Christian persecution worldwide has risen to 11th place this year. Indian Prime Minister Modi is a Hindu nationalist and a member of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS), an organization that incites and provokes large-scale violence against Christians. Under his government’s leadership, threats and attacks from this organization have continued to increase. Let us pray for India’s national leaders, asking God to grant them wisdom in leadership and governance. May He also protect the churches in India, keeping them from temptation and delivering them from evil.
