إنجيل القدّيس لوقا .37-29:10
أَرادَ عَالِمُ التَوْرَاةِ أَنْ يُبَرِّرَ نَفْسَهُ، فَقَالَ لِيَسُوع: وَمَنْ هُوَ قَريبِي؟
فَأَجابَ يَسُوعُ وَقَال: كانَ رَجُلٌ نَازِلاً مِنْ أُورَشَلِيمَ إِلى أَرِيحَا، فَوَقَعَ في أَيْدِي اللُّصُوص، وَعَرَّوهُ، وَأَوْسَعُوهُ ضَرْبًا، وَمَضَوا وَقَدْ تَرَكُوهُ بَيْنَ حَيٍّ وَمَيْت
وَصَدَفَ أَنَّ كَاهِنًا كَانَ نَازِلاً في تِلْكَ الطَّرِيق، وَرَآهُ، فَمَالَ عَنْهُ وَمَضَى
وَمَرَّ أَيْضًا لاوِيٌّ بِذلِكَ المَكَان، وَرَآهُ، فَمَالَ عَنْهُ وَمَضَى
ولكِنَّ سَامِرِيًّا مُسَافِرًا مَرَّ بِهِ، وَرَآهُ، فَتَحَنَّنَ عَلَيْه
وَدَنَا مِنْهُ، وَضَمَّدَ جِرَاحَهُ، سَاكِبًا عَلَيْها زَيْتًا وَخَمْرًا. ثُمَّ وَضَعَهُ عَلَى دَابَّتِهِ، وَذَهَبَ بِهَ إِلى الفُنْدُق، وٱعْتَنَى بِهِ
وفي الغَد، أَخْرَجَ دِينَارَينِ وَأَعْطاهُمَا لِصَاحِبِ الفُنْدُق، وَقَالَ لَهُ: إِعْتَنِ بِهِ، وَمَهْمَا أَنْفَقْتَ فَأَنَا أُوفِيكَ عِنْدَ عَوْدَتي
فَمَا رَأْيُكَ؟ أَيُّ هؤُلاءِ الثَّلاثَةِ كَانَ قَريبَ ذلِكَ الرَّجُلِ الَّذي وَقَعَ في أَيْدِي اللُّصُوص؟
فَقَالَ: «أَلَّذي صَنَعَ إِلَيْهِ ٱلرَّحْمَة». فَقَالَ لَهُ يَسُوع: إِذْهَبْ، وٱصْنَعْ أَنْتَ أَيْضًا كَذلِكَ
Holy Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Saint Matthew 20:20-28.
The mother of the sons of Zebedee approached Jesus with her sons and did him homage, wishing to ask him for something.
He said to her, “What do you wish?” She answered him, “Command that these two sons of mine sit, one at your right and the other at your left, in your kingdom.”
Jesus said in reply, “You do not know what you are asking. Can you drink the cup that I am going to drink?” They said to him, “We can.”
He replied, “My cup you will indeed drink, but to sit at my right and at my left (, this) is not mine to give but is for those for whom it has been prepared by my Father.”
When the ten heard this, they became indignant at the two brothers.
But Jesus summoned them and said, “You know that the rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them, and the great ones make their authority over them felt.
But it shall not be so among you. Rather, whoever wishes to be great among you shall be your servant;
whoever wishes to be first among you shall be your slave.
Just so, the Son of Man did not come to be served but to serve and to give his life as a ransom for many.”
