إنجيل القدّيس لوقا .31-27:11
فيمَا يَسوعُ يَتَكَلَّم بِهذَا، رَفَعَتِ ٱمْرَأَةٌ مِنَ الجَمْعِ صَوْتَها، وَقَالَتْ لَهُ: طُوبَى لِلْبَطْنِ الَّذي حَمَلَكَ، وَلِلثَّدْيَينِ اللَّذَينِ رَضِعْتَهُمَا
أَمَّا يَسُوعُ فَقَال: بَلِ ٱلطُّوبَى لِلَّذينَ يَسْمَعُونَ كَلِمَةَ اللهِ وَيَحْفَظُونَها
وفيمَا كانَ الجُمُوعُ مُحْتَشِدِين، بَدَأَ يَسُوعُ يَقُول: إِنَّ هذَا الجِيلَ جِيلٌ شِرِّير. إِنَّهُ يَطْلُبُ آيَة، وَلَنْ يُعْطَى آيَةً إِلاَّ آيَةَ يُونَان
فكَمَا كَانَ يُونانُ آيَةً لأَهْلِ نِينَوى، كَذلِكَ سَيَكُونُ ٱبْنُ الإِنْسَانِ لِهذَا ٱلجِيل
مَلِكَةُ الجَنُوبِ سَتَقُومُ في الدَّيْنُونَةِ مَعَ رِجَالِ هذا الجِيلِ وَتَدِينُهُم، لأَنَّها جَاءَتْ مِنْ أَقَاصِي الأَرْضِ لِتَسْمَعَ حِكْمَةَ سُلَيْمَان، وَهَا هُنَا أَعْظَمُ مِنْ سُلَيْمَان
Holy Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Saint Mark 1:40-45.
A leper came to him and kneeling down begged him and said, “If you wish, you can make me clean.”
Moved with pity, he stretched out his hand, touched him, and said to him, “I do will it. Be made clean.”
The leprosy left him immediately, and he was made clean.
Then, warning him sternly, he dismissed him at once.
Then he said to him, “See that you tell no one anything, but go, show yourself to the priest and offer for your cleansing what Moses prescribed; that will be proof for them.”
The man went away and began to publicize the whole matter. He spread the report abroad so that it was impossible for Jesus to enter a town openly. He remained outside in deserted places, and people kept coming to him from everywhere.
