إنجيل القدّيس لوقا .40-35:12
قالَ الرَبُّ يَسوعُ: لِتَكُنْ أَوْسَاطُكُم مَشْدُودَة، وَسُرْجُكُم مُوقَدَة
وَكُونُوا مِثْلَ أُنَاسٍ يَنْتَظِرُونَ سَيِّدَهُم مَتَى يَعُودُ مِنَ العُرْس، حَتَّى إِذَا جَاءَ وَقَرَع، فَتَحُوا لَهُ حَالاً
طُوبَى لأُولئِكَ العَبِيدِ الَّذينَ، مَتَى جَاءَ سَيِّدُهُم، يَجِدُهُم مُتَيَقِّظِين. أَلحَقَّ أَقُولُ لَكُم: إِنَّهُ يَشُدُّ وَسْطَهُ، وَيُجْلِسُهُم لِلطَّعَام، وَيَدُورُ يَخْدُمُهُم
وَإِنْ جَاءَ في الهَجْعَةِ الثَّانِيَةِ أَوِ الثَّالِثَة، وَوَجَدَهُم هكذَا، فَطُوبَى لَهُم
وٱعْلَمُوا هذَا: إِنَّهُ لَوْ عَرَفَ رَبُّ البَيْتِ في أَيِّ سَاعَةٍ يَأْتِي السَّارِق، لَمَا تَرَكَ بَيْتَهُ يُنقَب
فَكُونُوا أَنْتُم أَيْضًا مُسْتَعِدِّين، لأَنَّ ٱبْنَ الإِنْسَانِ يَجِيءُ في سَاعَةٍ لا تَخَالُونَها
Holy Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Saint Matthew 13:47-53.
Jesus said to the disciples: “The Kingdom of heaven is like a net thrown into the sea, which collects fish of every kind.
When it is full they haul it ashore and sit down to put what is good into buckets. What is bad they throw away.
Thus it will be at the end of the age. The angels will go out and separate the wicked from the righteous
and throw them into the fiery furnace, where there will be wailing and grinding of teeth.
Do you understand all these things? They answered, “Yes.”
And he replied, “Then every scribe who has been instructed in the kingdom of heaven is like the head of a household who brings from his storeroom both the new and the old.”
When Jesus finished these parables, he went away from there.
