إنجيل القدّيس متّى 1:1-25
كِتَابُ مِيلاَدِ يَسُوعَ الْمَسِيحِ ابْنِ دَاوُدَ ابْنِ إِبْراھِيمَ: إِبْراھِيمُ وَلَدَ إِسْحاقَ. وَإِسْحاقُ وَلَدَ يَعْقُوبَ. وَيَعْقُوبُ وَلَدَ يَھُوذَا وَإِخْوَتَهُ. وَيَھُوذَا وَلَدَ فَارِصَ وَزَارَحَ مِنْ ثَامَارَ. وَفَارِصُ
وَلَدَ حَصْرُونَ. وَحَصْرُونُ وَلَدَ أَرَامَ. وَأَرَامُ وَلَدَ عَمِّينَادَابَ. وَعَمِّينَادَابُ وَلَدَ نَحْشُونَ. وَنَحْشُونُ وَلَدَ سَلْمُونَ. وَسَلْمُونُ وَلَدَ بُوعَزَ مِنْ رَاحَابَ. وَبُوعَزُ وَلَدَ عُوبِيدَ مِنْ رَاعُوثَ.وَعُوبِيدُ وَلَدَ يَسَّى. وَيَسَّى وَلَدَ دَاوُدَ الْمَلِكَ. وَدَاوُدُ الْمَلِكُ وَلَدَ سُلَيْمَانَ مِنَ الَّتِي لأُورِيَّا. وَسُلَيْمَانُ وَلَدَ رَحَبْعَامَ. وَرَحَبْعَامُ وَلَدَ أَبِيَّا. وَأَبِيَّا وَلَدَ آسَا آسَا وَلَدَ يُوشَافَاط، يُوشَافَاطُ وَلَدَ يُورَام، يُورَامُ وَلَدَ عُوزِيَّا،
عُوزِيَّا وَلَدَ يُوتَام، يُوتَامُ وَلَدَ آحَاز، آحَازُ وَلَدَ حِزْقِيَّا، حِزْقِيَّا وَلَدَ مَنَسَّى، مَنَسَّى وَلَدَ آمُون، آمُونُ وَلَدَ يُوشِيَّا، يُوشِيَّا وَلَدَ يُوكَنِيَّا وإِخْوَتَهُ، وكانَ السَّبْيُ إِلى بَابِل.
بَعْدَ السَّبْيِ إِلى بَابِل، يُوكَنِيَّا وَلَدَ شَأَلْتِيئيل، شأَلْتِيئيلُ وَلَدَ زُرُبَّابِل، زُرُبَّابِلُ وَلَدَ أَبِيهُود، أَبيهُودُ وَلَدَ إِليَاقِيم، إِليَاقِيمُ وَلَدَ عَازُور،عَازُورُ وَلَدَ صَادُوق، صَادُوقُ وَلَدَ آخِيم، آخِيمُ وَلَدَ إِلِيهُود،
إِلِيهُودُ وَلَدَ إِلِيعَازَر، إِلِيعَازَرُ وَلَدَ مَتَّان، مَتَّانُ وَلَدَ يَعْقُوب، يَعْقُوبُ وَلَدَ يُوسُفَ رَجُلَ مَرْيَم، الَّتي مِنْهَا وُلِدَ يَسُوع، وهُوَ الَّذي يُدْعَى المَسِيح.
فَجَميعُ الأَجْيَالِ مِنْ إِبْرَاهيمَ إِلى دَاوُدَ أَرْبَعَةَ عَشَرَ جِيلاً، ومِنْ دَاوُدَ إِلى سَبْيِ بَابِلَ أَرْبَعَةَ عَشَرَ جِيلاً، ومِنْ سَبْيِ بَابِلَ إِلى المَسِيحِ أَرْبَعَةَ عَشَرَ جيلاً
أَمَّا مِيلادُ يَسُوعَ المَسِيحِ فَكانَ هكَذَا: لَمَّا كانَتْ أُمُّهُ مَرْيَمُ مَخْطُوبَةً لِيُوسُف، وقَبْلَ أَنْ يَسْكُنَا مَعًا، وُجِدَتْ حَامِلاً مِنَ الرُّوحِ القُدُس.
ولَمَّا كَانَ يُوسُفُ رَجُلُها بَارًّا، ولا يُرِيدُ أَنْ يُشَهِّرَ بِهَا، قَرَّرَ أَنْ يُطَلِّقَهَا سِرًّا.
ومَا إِنْ فَكَّرَ في هذَا حَتَّى تَرَاءَى لَهُ مَلاكُ الرَّبِّ في الحُلْمِ قَائِلاً: «يَا يُوسُفُ بنَ دَاوُد، لا تَخَفْ أَنْ تَأْخُذَ مَرْيَمَ ٱمْرَأَتَكَ، فَٱلمَوْلُودُ فِيهَا إِنَّمَا هُوَ مِنَ الرُّوحِ القُدُس.
وسَوْفَ تَلِدُ ٱبْنًا، فَسَمِّهِ يَسُوع، لأَنَّهُ هُوَ الَّذي يُخَلِّصُ شَعْبَهُ مِنْ خَطَايَاهُم».
وحَدَثَ هذَا كُلُّهُ لِيَتِمَّ مَا قَالَهُ الرَّبُّ بِالنَّبِيّ:
هَا إِنَّ العَذْرَاءَ تَحْمِلُ وتَلِدُ ٱبْنًا، ويُدْعَى ٱسْمُهُ عِمَّانُوئِيل، أَي ٱللهُ مَعَنَا.
ولَمَّا قَامَ يُوسُفُ مِنَ النَّوْم، فَعَلَ كَمَا أَمَرَهُ مَلاكُ الرَّبِّ وأَخَذَ ٱمْرَأَتَهُ.
ولَمْ يَعْرِفْهَا، فَوَلَدَتِ ٱبْنًا، وسَمَّاهُ يَسُوع
Holy Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Saint Matthew 1:1-25.
The book of the generation of Jesus Christ, the son of David, the son of Abraham.
Abraham begat Isaac; and Isaac begat Jacob; and Jacob begat Judas and his brethren;
And Judas begat Phares and Zara of Thamar; and Phares begat Esrom; and Esrom begat Aram;
And Aram begat Aminadab; and Aminadab begat Naasson; and Naasson begat Salmon;
And Salmon begat Booz of Rachab; and Booz begat Obed of Ruth; and Obed begat Jesse;
And Jesse begat David the king; and David the king begat Solomon of her that had been the wife of Urias;
And Solomon begat Roboam; and Roboam begat Abia; and Abia begat Asa;
And Asa begat Josaphat; and Josaphat begat Joram; and Joram begat Ozias;
And Ozias begat Joatham; and Joatham begat Achaz; and Achaz begat Ezekias;
And Ezekias begat Manasses; and Manasses begat Amon; and Amon begat Josias;
And Josias begat Jechonias and his brethren, about the time they were carried away to Babylon:
And after they were brought to Babylon, Jechonias begat Salathiel; and Salathiel begat Zorobabel;
And Zorobabel begat Abiud; and Abiud begat Eliakim; and Eliakim begat Azor;
And Azor begat Sadoc; and Sadoc begat Achim; and Achim begat Eliud;
And Eliud begat Eleazar; and Eleazar begat Matthan; and Matthan begat Jacob;
And Jacob begat Joseph the husband of Mary, of whom was born Jesus, who is called Christ.
So all the generations from Abraham to David are fourteen generations; and from David until the carrying away into Babylon are fourteen generations; and from the carrying away into Babylon unto Christ are fourteen generations.
Now the birth of Jesus Christ was on this wise: When as his mother Mary was espoused to Joseph, before they came together, she was found with child of the Holy Ghost.
Then Joseph her husband, being a just man, and not willing to make her a public example, was minded to put her away privily.
But while he thought on these things, behold, the angel of the LORD appeared unto him in a dream, saying, Joseph, thou son of David, fear not to take unto thee Mary thy wife: for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Ghost.
And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name JESUS: for he shall save his people from their sins.
Now all this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord by the prophet, saying,
Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us.
Then Joseph being raised from sleep did as the angel of the Lord had bidden him, and took unto him his wife:
And knew her not till she had brought forth her firstborn son: and he called his name JESUS.
إنجيل القدّيس مرقس 33:4-41
وكانَ يَسُوعُ يُخَاطِبُهُم بِكَلِمَةِ الله، في أَمْثَالٍ كَثِيرَةٍ كَهذِهِ، عَلَى قَدْرِ مَا كَانُوا يَسْتَطِيعُونَ أَنْ يَسْمَعُوا.
وبِدُونِ مَثَلٍ لَمْ يَكُنْ يُكَلِّمُهُم. لكِنَّهُ كانَ يُفَسِّرُ كُلَّ شَيءٍ لِتَلامِيذِهِ عَلَى ٱنْفِرَاد.
وفي مَسَاءِ ذلِكَ اليَوْم، قالَ يَسُوعُ لِتَلامِيذِهِ: «لِنَعْبُرْ إِلى الضَّفَّةِ الأُخْرَى».
فتَرَكَ التَّلامِيذُ الجَمْعَ، وأَخَذُوا يَسُوعَ مَعَهُم في السَّفِينَة، وكَانَتْ سُفُنٌ أُخْرَى تَتْبَعُهُ.
وهَبَّتْ عَاصِفَةُ ريحٍ شَدِيدَة، فٱنْدَفَعَتِ الأَمْواجُ عَلى السَّفينَة، حَتَّى أَوْشَكَتِ السَّفِينَةُ أَنْ تَمْتَلِئ.
وكانَ يَسُوعُ نَائِمًا عَلى الوِسَادَةِ في مُؤَخَّرِ السَّفينَة، فَأَيْقَظُوهُ وقَالُوا لَهُ: «يا مُعَلِّم، أَلا تُبَالي؟ فنَحْنُ نَهْلِك!».
فقَامَ وزَجَرَ الرِّيحَ وقَالَ لِلْبَحْر: «أُسْكُتْ! إِهْدَأْ!». فسَكَنَتِ الرِّيحُ، وحَدَثَ هُدُوءٌ عَظِيم.
ثُمَّ قالَ لِتَلاميذِهِ: «لِمَاذَا أَنْتُم خائِفُونَ هكَذا؟ كَيْفَ لا تُؤْمِنُون؟».
فخَافُوا خَوْفًا عظيمًا، وقَالُوا بَعْضُهُم لِبَعْض: مَنْ هُوَ هذا، حَتَّى يُطِيعَهُ البَحْرُ نَفْسُهُ والرِّيح؟
Holy Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Saint John 5:31-47.
If I testify on my own behalf, my testimony cannot be verified.
But there is another who testifies on my behalf, and I know that the testimony he gives on my behalf is true.
You sent emissaries to John, and he testified to the truth.
I do not accept testimony from a human being, but I say this so that you may be saved.
He was a burning and shining lamp, and for a while you were content to rejoice in his light.
But I have testimony greater than John’s. The works that the Father gave me to accomplish, these works that I perform testify on my behalf that the Father has sent me.
Moreover, the Father who sent me has testified on my behalf. But you have never heard his voice nor seen his form,
and you do not have his word remaining in you, because you do not believe in the one whom he has sent.
You search the scriptures, because you think you have eternal life through them; even they testify on my behalf.
But you do not want to come to me to have life.
I do not accept human praise;
moreover, I know that you do not have the love of God in you.
I came in the name of my Father, but you do not accept me; yet if another comes in his own name, you will accept him.
How can you believe, when you accept praise from one another and do not seek the praise that comes from the only God?
Do not think that I will accuse you before the Father: the one who will accuse you is Moses, in whom you have placed your hope.
For if you had believed Moses, you would have believed me, because he wrote about me.
But if you do not believe his writings, how will you believe my words?”
إنجيل القدّيس لوقا 11:7-17
وكَانَ بَعْدَ ذلِكَ أَنْ ذَهَبَ يَسُوعُ إِلى مَدينَةٍ تُدْعَى نَائِين، وَذَهَبَ مَعَهُ تَلاميذُهُ وَجَمْعٌ كَثِير.
وٱقْتَرَبَ مِنْ بَابِ المَدِينَة، فإِذَا مَيْتٌ مَحْمُول، وَهوَ ٱبْنٌ وَحِيدٌ لأُمِّهِ الَّتِي كانَتْ أَرْمَلَة، وَكانَ مَعَها جَمْعٌ كَبيرٌ مِنَ المَدِينَة.
وَرَآها الرَّبُّ فَتَحَنَّنَ عَلَيها، وَقَالَ لَهَا: «لا تَبْكِي!».
ثُمَّ دَنَا وَلَمَسَ النَّعْش، فَوَقَفَ حَامِلُوه، فَقَال: «أَيُّهَا الشَّاب، لَكَ أَقُولُ: قُمْ!».
فَجَلَسَ المَيْتُ وَبَدَأَ يَتَكَلَّم، فَسَلَّمَهُ يَسُوعُ إِلى أُمِّهِ.
وٱسْتَولى الخَوفُ عَلَى الجَميع، فَأَخَذُوا يُمَجِّدُونَ اللهَ وَيَقولون: «لَقَد قَامَ فِينا نَبِيٌّ عَظِيم، وَتَفَقَّدَ اللهُ شَعْبَهُ!».
وَذَاعَتْ هذِهِ الكَلِمَةُ عَنْهُ في اليَهُودِيَّةِ كُلِّهَا، وفي كُلِّ الجِوَار
Holy Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Saint John 5:17-30.
But Jesus answered them, “My Father is at work until now, so I am at work.”
For this reason the Jews tried all the more to kill him, because he not only broke the sabbath but he also called God his own father, making himself equal to God.
Jesus answered and said to them, “Amen, amen, I say to you, a son cannot do anything on his own, but only what he sees his father doing; for what he does, his son will do also.
For the Father loves his Son and shows him everything that he himself does, and he will show him greater works than these, so that you may be amazed.
For just as the Father raises the dead and gives life, so also does the Son give life to whomever he wishes.
Nor does the Father judge anyone, but he has given all judgment to his Son,
so that all may honor the Son just as they honor the Father. Whoever does not honor the Son does not honor the Father who sent him.
Amen, amen, I say to you, whoever hears my word and believes in the one who sent me has eternal life and will not come to condemnation, but has passed from death to life.
Amen, amen, I say to you, the hour is coming and is now here when the dead will hear the voice of the Son of God, and those who hear will live.
For just as the Father has life in himself, so also he gave to his Son the possession of life in himself.
And he gave him power to exercise judgment, because he is the Son of Man.
Do not be amazed at this, because the hour is coming in which all who are in the tombs will hear his voice
and will come out, those who have done good deeds to the resurrection of life, but those who have done wicked deeds to the resurrection of condemnation.
I cannot do anything on my own; I judge as I hear, and my judgment is just, because I do not seek my own will but the will of the one who sent me.
إنجيل القدّيس مرقس 47:6-56
ولَمَّا كانَ المَسَاء، كانَتِ السَّفِينَةُ في وَسَطِ البُحَيْرَة، ويَسُوعُ وَحْدَهُ عَلى اليَابِسَة.
ورَأَى التَّلامِيذَ مَنْهُوكِينَ مِنَ التَّجْذِيف، لأَنَّ الرِّيحَ كانَتْ مُخَالِفةً لَهُم، فجَاءَ إِلَيْهِم في آخِرِ اللَّيْلِ مَاشِيًا عَلَى البُحَيْرَة، وكانَ يُريدُ أَنْ يَتخَطَّاهُم.
ولَمَّا رَآهُ التَّلامِيذُ مَاشِيًا عَلَى البُحَيْرَة، ظَنُّوهُ شَبَحًا فصَرَخُوا،
لأَنَّهُم رأَوْهُ كُلُّهُم وٱضْطَرَبُوا. وفي الحَالِ كَلَّمَهُم يَسُوعُ وقَالَ لَهُم: «ثِقُوا! أَنَا هُوَ، لا تَخَافُوا!».
وصَعِدَ إِلَيْهِم، إِلى السَّفِينَة، فسَكَنَتِ الرِّيح. ودَهِشُوا في أَنْفُسِهِم غَايَةَ الدَّهَش،
لأَنَّهُم لَمْ يَفْهَمُوا مُعْجِزَةَ الأَرْغِفَةِ لِقَسَاوَةِ قُلُوبِهِم.
ولَمَّا عَبَرُوا جَاؤُوا إِلى أَرْضِ جِنَّاشَر، وأَرْسَوا هُنَاك.
ولَمَّا خَرَجُوا مِنَ السَّفِينَةِ عَرَفَهُ النَّاسُ حَالاً.
وطَافُوا تِلْكَ النَّاحِيَةَ كُلَّها، وبَدَأُوا يَحْمِلُونَ مَنْ بِهِم سُوءٌ إِلى حَيْثُ كَانُوا يَسْمَعُونَ أَنَّهُ مَوْجُود.
وحَيْثُما كانَ يَدْخُلُ قُرًى أَوْ مُدُنًا أَو ضِياعًا، كَانُوا يَضَعُونَ المَرْضَى في السَّاحَات، ويَتَوَسَّلُونَ إِلَيْهِ أَنْ يَلْمُسُوا وَلَو طَرَفَ رِدَائِهِ. وجَمِيعُ الَّذِينَ لَمَسُوهُ كانُوا يُشْفَون
Holy Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Saint John 5:1-16.
After this, there was a feast of the Jews, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.
Now there is in Jerusalem at the Sheep (Gate) a pool called in Hebrew Bethesda, with five porticoes.
In these lay a large number of ill, blind, lame, and crippled.
One man was there who had been ill for thirty-eight years.
When Jesus saw him lying there and knew that he had been ill for a long time, he said to him, “Do you want to be well?”
The sick man answered him, “Sir, I have no one to put me into the pool when the water is stirred up; while I am on my way, someone else gets down there before me.”
Jesus said to him, “Rise, take up your mat, and walk.”
Immediately the man became well, took up his mat, and walked. Now that day was a sabbath.
So the Jews said to the man who was cured, “It is the sabbath, and it is not lawful for you to carry your mat.”
He answered them, “The man who made me well told me, ‘Take up your mat and walk.’”
They asked him, “Who is the man who told you, ‘Take it up and walk’?”
The man who was healed did not know who it was, for Jesus had slipped away, since there was a crowd there.
After this Jesus found him in the temple area and said to him, “Look, you are well; do not sin any more, so that nothing worse may happen to you.”
The man went and told the Jews that Jesus was the one who had made him well.
Therefore, the Jews began to persecute Jesus because he did this on a sabbath.
إنجيل القدّيس مرقس 1:5-20
ووَصَلَ يَسُوعُ وتَلامِيذُهُ إِلى الضَّفَّةِ الأُخْرَى مِنَ البُحَيْرَة، إِلى بَلَدِ الجِراسِيِّين.
ومَا إِنْ نَزَلَ يَسُوعُ مِنَ السَّفينَةِ حَتَّى لاقَاهُ رَجُلٌ مِنْ بَيْنِ القُبُورِ فِيهِ رُوحٌ نَجِس.
كانَ يَسْكُنُ في القُبُور، ومَا كانَ أَحَدٌ يَقْدِرُ أَنْ يُكَبِّلَهُ حَتَّى بِسِلْسِلَة.
وكَثيرًا ما كَبَّلُوهُ بِقُيُودٍ وسَلاسِل، فكَانَ يَقْطَعُ السَّلاسِل، ويَكْسِرُ القُيُود، ومَا كانَ أَحَدٌ يَقْدِرُ أَنْ يَضْبِطَهُ.
وكانَ عَلَى الدَّوَام، لَيْلاً ونَهَارًا، في القُبُورِ وفي الجِبَال، يَصْرُخُ ويُهَشِّمُ جَسَدَهُ بِٱلحِجَارَة.
ورَأَى يَسُوعَ مِنْ بَعِيدٍ فَأَسْرَعَ إِلَيْهِ وسَجَدَ لَهُ.
وصَرَخَ بِصَوْتٍ عَظِيمٍ وقَال: «مَا لي ولَكَ يا يَسُوعُ ٱبْنَ اللهِ العَلِيّ؟ أَسْتَحْلِفُكَ بِٱلله! لا تُعَذِّبْني!»؛
لأَنَّ يَسُوعَ كانَ يَقُولُ لَهُ: «أُخْرُجْ مِنَ الرَّجُل، أَيُّهَا الرُّوحُ النَّجِس!».
وسأَلَهُ: «مَا ٱسْمُكَ؟». فقَالَ لَهُ: «إِسْمي فِرْقَة، لأَنَّنَا كَثِيرُون!».
وكانَ يَتَوَسَّلُ إِلَيْهِ كَثِيرًا أَنْ لا يَطْرُدَهُم مِنْ ذلِكَ البَلَد.
وكانَ هُنَاكَ قَطِيعٌ كَبيرٌ مِنَ الخَنَازيرِ يَرْعَى قُرْبَ الجَبَل.
فتَوَسَّلَتِ الأَرْوَاحُ النَّجِسَةُ إِلى يَسُوعَ قَائِلَة: «أَرْسِلْنَا إِلى الخَنَازِيرِ فَنَدْخُلَ فِيها!».
وأَذِنَ لَهَا فَخَرَجَتْ، ودَخَلَتْ في الخَنَازِير، فَإِذَا بِٱلقَطِيعِ – وعَدَدُهُ نَحْوُ أَلْفَيْن – قَدْ وَثَبَ مِنْ عَلَى المُنْحَدَرِ الوَعْر، وغَرِقَ في البُحَيْرَة.
وهَرَبَ رُعَاةُ الخَنَازِير، وأَذاعُوا الخَبَرَ في المَدِينَةِ والقُرَى، فذَهَبَ النَّاسُ لِيَرَوا ما جَرَى.
فلَمَّا وصَلُوا إِلى يَسُوعَ شَاهَدُوا المَمْسُوس، الَّذي كانَ فِيهِ فِرْقَةُ شيَاطِين، جَالِسًا، لابِسًا، سَلِيمَ العَقْل، فخَافُوا.
والَّذين رَأَوا أَخْبَرُوهُم بِمَا جَرَى لِلْمَمْسُوسِ وَلِلْخَنَازِير،
فبَدَأُوا يَتَوَسَّلُونَ إِلى يَسُوعَ أَنْ يَرْحَلَ عَنْ دِيَارِهِم.
وفِيمَا هُوَ صَاعِدٌ إِلى السَّفينَة، تَوَسَّلَ إِلَيْهِ ذَاكَ الَّذي كانَ مَمْسُوسًا أَنْ يَكُونَ مَعَهُ.
فلَمْ يَسْمَحْ لَهُ يَسُوع، بَلْ قَالَ لَهُ: «إِذْهَبْ إِلى بَيْتِكَ، إِلى أَهْلِكَ، وَأَخْبِرْهُم بِكُلِّ ما صَنَعَ الرَّبُّ إِلَيْك، وَبِرَحْمَتِهِ لَكَ».
فذَهَبَ وبَدَأَ يُنَادي في المُدُنِ العَشْرِ بِكُلِّ مَا صَنَعَ إِلَيْهِ يَسُوع، وكانَ الجَمْيعُ يَتَعَجَّبُون
Holy Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Saint John 4:43-54.
After the two days, he left there for Galilee.
For Jesus himself testified that a prophet has no honor in his native place.
When he came into Galilee, the Galileans welcomed him, since they had seen all he had done in Jerusalem at the feast; for they themselves had gone to the feast.
Then he returned to Cana in Galilee, where he had made the water wine. Now there was a royal official whose son was ill in Capernaum.
When he heard that Jesus had arrived in Galilee from Judea, he went to him and asked him to come down and heal his son, who was near death.
Jesus said to him, “Unless you people see signs and wonders, you will not believe.”
The royal official said to him, “Sir, come down before my child dies.”
Jesus said to him, “You may go; your son will live.” The man believed what Jesus said to him and left.
While he was on his way back, his slaves met him and told him that his boy would live.
He asked them when he began to recover. They told him, “The fever left him yesterday, about one in the afternoon.”
The father realized that just at that time Jesus had said to him, “Your son will live,” and he and his whole household came to believe.
(Now) this was the second sign Jesus did when he came to Galilee from Judea.

إنجيل أحد شفاء المخلّع : مرقس 2/1-12
وبَعْدَ أَيَّامٍ عَادَ يَسُوعُ إِلى كَفَرْنَاحُوم. وسَمِعَ النَّاسُ أَنَّهُ في البَيْت.
فتَجَمَّعَ عَدَدٌ كَبيرٌ مِنْهُم حَتَّى غَصَّ بِهِمِ الـمَكَان، ولَمْ يَبْقَ مَوْضِعٌ لأَحَدٍ ولا عِنْدَ البَاب. وكانَ يُخَاطِبُهُم بِكَلِمَةِ الله.
فأَتَوْهُ بِمُخَلَّعٍ يَحْمِلُهُ أَرْبَعَةُ رِجَال.
وبِسَبَبِ الـجَمْعِ لَمْ يَسْتَطِيعُوا الوُصُولَ بِهِ إِلى يَسُوع، فكَشَفُوا السَّقْفَ فَوْقَ يَسُوع، ونَبَشُوه، ودَلَّوا الفِرَاشَ الَّذي كانَ الـمُخَلَّعُ مَطْرُوحًا عَلَيْه.
ورَأَى يَسُوعُ إِيْمَانَهُم، فقَالَ لِلْمُخَلَّع: “يَا ابْني، مَغْفُورَةٌ لَكَ خطَايَاك!”.
وكانَ بَعْضُ الكَتَبَةِ جَالِسِينَ هُنَاكَ يُفَكِّرُونَ في قُلُوبِهِم:
“لِمَاذَا يَتَكَلَّمُ هـذَا الرَّجُلُ هـكَذَا؟ إِنَّهُ يُجَدِّف! مَنْ يَقْدِرُ أَنْ يَغْفِرَ الـخَطَايَا إِلاَّ اللهُ وَحْدَهُ؟”.
وفي الـحَالِ عَرَفَ يَسُوعُ بِرُوحِهِ أَنَّهُم يُفَكِّرُونَ هـكَذَا في أَنْفُسِهِم فَقَالَ لَهُم: “لِمَاذَا تُفَكِّرُونَ بِهـذَا في قُلُوبِكُم؟
ما هُوَ الأَسْهَل؟ أَنْ يُقَالَ لِلْمُخَلَّع: مَغْفُورَةٌ لَكَ خطَايَاك؟ أَمْ أَنْ يُقَال: قُمْ وَاحْمِلْ فِرَاشَكَ وَامْشِ؟
ولِكَي تَعْلَمُوا أَنَّ لابْنِ الإِنْسَانِ سُلْطَانًا أَنْ يَغْفِرَ الـخَطَايَا عَلَى الأَرْض”، قالَ لِلْمُخَلَّع:
“لَكَ أَقُول: قُم، إِحْمِلْ فِرَاشَكَ، واذْهَبْ إِلى بَيْتِكَ!”.
فقَامَ في الـحَالِ وحَمَلَ فِرَاشَهُ، وخَرَجَ أَمامَ الـجَمِيع، حَتَّى دَهِشُوا كُلُّهُم ومَجَّدُوا اللهَ قَائِلين: مَا رَأَيْنَا مِثْلَ هـذَا البَتَّة
كانت هذه الأعجوبة في قرية كفرنحوم التي تعني بيت الراحة، وهي ترمز الى حياة الراحة مع المسيح. فمن يعيش بحياة روحية مع الله، تكون كفرنحوم في نفسه، فكلنا ننظر الى بطولة القدّيسين، فهم في الخارج كانوا يعيشون حياةً صعبة وقشفة، امّا في داخلهم فكانوا يعيشون في كفرنحوم اي في راحة مع الله.
هؤلاء الرجال الأربعة الذين وضعوا المخلّع امام المسيح يعلّموننا ثلاثة اشياء: أولاً : فلنضع انفسنا ومشاكلنا امام الله، فهو اقرب من نفسنا إلينا، وهو يستجب سؤلنا، إذ قد وضعوه امامه ولم يسألوا شيئاً، ونالوا ما يطلبون. ثانياً، لنصلّي مِن أجل بعضنا، فنحمل بصلاتنا كل مريض، وكل من هو بحاجة لصلاتنا الى الله، فصلاة الجماعة تعضض المحاج الضعيف. ثالثاً: هؤلاء الرجال الأربعة قد نزعوا السقف الذي يفصلهم عن المسيح، فتعالوا نفعل نفس الشيء وننزع كل ما يفصلنا عن المسيح، من اعمال واهتمامات وسهرات …
ثم قال له المسيح : “يَا ابْني، مَغْفُورَةٌ لَكَ خطَايَاك!”، وهاذا اثار غضب الفرّيسيين، إذ هم مخلّعون في نفوسهم وفي روحانيتهم المكبّلة بالشريعة لا بالرحمة.
واخيراً فلنتمثّل بهاذا المخلّع، إذ قال له المسيح “لَكَ أَقُول: قُم، إِحْمِلْ فِرَاشَكَ، واذْهَبْ إِلى بَيْتِكَ!”، فقد حمل هذا سريره اي كل عالمه الذي كان يقعده، فبنعمة المسيح نستطيع نحن مثله أن نحمل كل ما كان يقعدنا ونمشي
My loving Lord, it’s so hard to love the world sometimes
and to love it the way Jesus did seems impossible.
Help me to be inspired by His love and guided by His example.
Most of all, I want to accept that I can’t do it alone, and that trying is an arrogance of self-centeredness.
I need You, dear God, to give me support in this journey.
Show me how to unlock my heart so that I am less selfish.
Let me be less fearful of the pain and darkness
that will be transformed by You into Easter joy.

إنجيل القدّيس مرقس 1:3-12
وعَادَ يَسُوعُ فَدَخَلَ إِلى المَجْمَع. وكانَ هُنَاكَ رَجُلٌ يَدُهُ يَابِسَة.
وكانُوا يُرَاقِبُونَ هَلْ يَشْفِيهِ يَوْمَ السَّبْت، لِيَشْكُوه.
فقالَ لِلرَّجُلِ الَّذي يَدُهُ يَابِسَة: «قُمْ في الوَسَط!».
ثُمَّ قَالَ لَهُم: «هَلْ يَحِلُّ في السَّبْتِ عَمَلُ الخَيْرِ أَمْ عَمَلُ الشَرّ؟ تَخْليصُ نَفْسٍ أَمْ قَتْلُها؟». فَظَلُّوا صَامِتِين.
فأَجَالَ يَسُوعُ فِيهِم نَظَرَهُ غَاضِبًا، حَزينًا لِقَسَاوَةِ قُلُوبِهِم، ثُمَّ قالَ لِلرَّجُل: «مُدَّ يَدَكَ». ومَدَّ يَدَهُ فعَادَتْ صَحِيحَة.
وفي الحَالِ خَرَجَ الفَرِّيسيُّونَ مَعَ الهِيرُودُوسيِّين، وأَخَذُوا يَتَشَاوَرُونَ عَلَيْهِ لِيُهْلِكُوه.
وٱنْصَرَفَ يَسُوعُ مَعَ تَلامِيذِه إِلى البُحَيْرَة، وتَبِعَهُ جُمْهُورٌ غَفِيرٌ مِنَ الجَليل، وَمِنَ اليَهُودِيَّة،
ومِنْ أُورَشَلِيمَ وَمِنْ أَدُومَ وَعِبْرِ الأُرْدُنّ، وَمِنْ نَوَاحِي صُورَ وصَيْدَا، جُمْهُورٌ غَفِير، سَمِعُوا بِكُلِّ ما صَنَع، فَأَتَوا إِلَيْه.
وأَمَرَ تَلامِيذَهُ أَنْ يُعِدُّوا لَهُ قَارِبًا، يَكُونُ بِتَصَرُّفِهِ، لِئَلاَّ تَزْحَمَهُ الجُمُوع،
لأَنَّهُ شَفَى كَثِيرين، فصَارَ كُلُّ مَنْ بِهِ دَاءٌ يتَهَافَتُ عَلَيْهِ لِيَلْمُسَهُ.
وكَانَتِ الأَرْوَاحُ النَّجِسَة، حِينَ تَرَاه، تَسْقُطُ أَمَامَهُ وتَصْرُخُ قَائِلَة: «أَنْتَ هُوَ ٱبْنُ الله».
وكانَ يَسُوعُ يُحَذِّرُهَا بِشِدَّةٍ مِنْ أَنْ تُشْهِرَهُ
Holy Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Saint Luke 18:9-14.
He then addressed this parable to those who were convinced of their own righteousness and despised everyone else.
Two people went up to the temple area to pray; one was a Pharisee and the other was a tax collector.
The Pharisee took up his position and spoke this prayer to himself, ‘O God, I thank you that I am not like the rest of humanity–greedy, dishonest, adulterous–or even like this tax collector.
I fast twice a week, and I pay tithes on my whole income.’
But the tax collector stood off at a distance and would not even raise his eyes to heaven but beat his breast and prayed, ‘O God, be merciful to me a sinner.’
I tell you, the latter went home justified, not the former; for everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, and the one who humbles himself will be exalted.”
