إنجيل القدّيس متّى .35-27:9
فيمَا يَسُوعُ مُجْتَازٌ مِنْ هُنَاك، تَبِعَهُ أَعْمَيَانِ يَصْرُخَانِ ويَقُولان: إِرْحَمْنَا، يَا ٱبْنَ دَاوُد
ولَمَّا جَاءَ إِلى البَيْتِ تَقَدَّمَ إِلَيْهِ الأَعْمَيَان. فَقَالَ لَهُمَا يَسُوع: «أَتُؤْمِنَانِ أَنِّي قَادِرٌ أَنْ أَفْعَلَ هذَا؟». قَالا لَهُ: نَعَم، يَا رَبّ
حينَئِذٍ لَمَسَ أَعْيُنَهُمَا قَائِلاً: فَلْيَكُنْ لَكُمَا بِحَسَبِ إِيْمَانِكُمَا
فَٱنْفَتَحَتْ أَعْيُنُهُمَا. وٱنْتَهَرَهُمَا يَسُوعُ قَائِلاً: أُنْظُرَا، لا تُخْبِرَا أَحَدًا
ولكِنَّهُمَا خَرَجَا ونَشَرَا الخَبَرَ في تِلْكَ الأَنْحَاءِ كُلِّهَا
ولَمَّا خَرَجَ الأَعْمَيَان، قَدَّمُوا إِلَيْهِ مَمْسُوسًا أَخْرَس
وأُخْرِجَ الشَّيْطَانُ فَتَكَلَّمَ الأَخْرَس. وتَعَجَّبَ الجُمُوعُ فَقَالُوا: لَمْ يُرَ شَيْءٌ مِثْلُ هذَا في إِسْرَائِيل
أَمَّا الفَرِّيسِيُّونَ فَكَانُوا يَقُولُون: إِنَّهُ بِرَئِيْسِ الشَّيَاطِيْنِ يُخْرِجُ الشَّيَاطِين
وكَانَ يَسُوعُ يَطُوفُ المُدُنَ كُلَّهَا والقُرَى يُعَلِّمُ في مَجَامِعِهم، ويَكْرِزُ بِإِنْجِيلِ المَلَكُوت، ويَشْفِي الشَّعْبَ مِنْ كُلِّ مَرَضٍ وكُلِّ عِلَّة
Holy Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Saint Mark 12:28b-34.
One of the scribes came to Jesus and asked him, “Which is the first of all the commandments?”
Jesus replied, “The first is this: ‘Hear, O Israel! The Lord our God is Lord alone!
You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your mind, and with all your strength.’
The second is this: ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ There is no other commandment greater than these.”
The scribe said to him, “Well said, teacher. You are right in saying, ‘He is One and there is no other than he.’
And ‘to love him with all your heart, with all your understanding, with all your strength, and to love your neighbor as yourself’ is worth more than all burnt offerings and sacrifices.”
And when Jesus saw that (he) answered with understanding, he said to him, “You are not far from the kingdom of God.” And no one dared to ask him any more questions.
