إنجيل القدّيس لوقا 30-18:7
وَأَخْبَرَ تَلامِيذُ يُوحَنَّا مُعَلِّمَهُم بِكُلِّ ذلِكَ، فَدَعَا يُوحَنَّا ٱثنَينِ مِنْ تَلامِيذِه
وَأَرْسَلَهُما إِلى الرَّبِّ يَقُول: أَنْتَ هُوَ الآتِي، أَمْ نَنْتَظِرُ آخَر
فَأَقْبَلَ الرَّجُلانِ إِلَيهِ وَقَالا: يُوحَنَّا المَعْمَدانُ أَرْسَلَنا إِلَيْكَ قَائِلاً: أَنْتَ هُوَ الآتِي، أَمْ نَنْتَظِرُ آخَر
في تِلْكَ السَّاعَة، شَفَى يَسُوعُ كَثِيرِينَ مِنْ أَمْرَاضٍ وَعاهَاتٍ وَأَرْوَاحٍ شِرِّيرَة، وَوَهَبَ البَصَرَ لِعُمْيانٍ كَثِيرِين
ثُمَّ أَجابَ وقالَ لِلرَّجُلَين: إِذْهَبَا وَأَخْبِرا يُوحَنَّا بِمَا رَأَيْتُما وَسَمِعْتُما: أَلعُمْيَانُ يُبْصِرُون، وَالعُرْجُ يَمْشُون، وَالبُرْصُ يَطْهُرُون، والصُّمُّ يَسْمَعُون، والمَوتَى يَقُومُون، والمَسَاكِينُ يُبَشَّرُون
وَطُوبَى لِمَنْ لا يَشُكُّ فِي
وٱنْصَرَفَ رَسولاَ يُوحَنَّا فَبَدَأَ يَسُوعُ يَقُولُ لِلجُمُوعِ في شَأْنِ يُوحَنَّا: «مَاذا خَرَجْتُم إِلَى البَرِّيَّةِ تَنْظُرُون؟ أَقَصَبَةً تُحَرِّكُها الرِّيح
أَوْ مَاذا خَرَجْتُم تَرَون؟ أَرَجُلاً في ثِيَابٍ نَاعِمَة؟ هَا إِنَّ الَّذِينَ يَلْبَسُونَ المَلابِسَ الفَاخِرَة، وَيَعِيشُونَ في التَّرَف، هُمْ في قُصُورِ المُلُوك
أَوْ مَاذا خَرَجْتُم تَرَون؟ أَنَبِيًّا؟ أَقُولُ لَكُم: نَعَم! بَلْ أَكْثَرَ مِنْ نَبِي
هذَا هُوَ الَّذي كُتِبَ عَنْهُ: هَا أَنَا مُرسِلٌ مَلاكِي أَمَامَ وَجْهِكَ لِيُمَهِّدَ الطَّرِيقَ أَمَامَك
أَقُولُ لَكُم: لَيْسَ في مَوالِيدِ النِّسَاءِ أَعْظَمُ مِنْ يُوحَنَّا، وَلكِنَّ الأَصْغَرَ في مَلَكُوتِ اللهِ أَعْظَمُ مِنْه
وَلَمَّا سَمِعَ الشَّعْبُ كُلُّهُ والعَشَّارُون، الَّذِينَ ٱعْتَمَدُوا بِمَعْمُودِيَّةِ يُوحَنَّا، إِعْتَرَفُوا بِبِرِّ ٱلله
أَمَّا الفَرِّيسِيُّونَ وَعُلَمَاءُ التَّوْرَاة، الَّذِينَ لَمْ يَعْتَمِدُوا، فَرَفَضُوا مَشِيئَةَ ٱلله
Holy Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Saint John 2:1-11.
There was a wedding at Cana in Galilee, and the mother of Jesus was there.
Jesus and his disciples were also invited to the wedding.
When the wine ran short, the mother of Jesus said to him, “They have no wine.”
(And) Jesus said to her, “Woman, how does your concern affect me? My hour has not yet come.”
His mother said to the servers, “Do whatever he tells you.”
Now there were six stone water jars there for Jewish ceremonial washings, each holding twenty to thirty gallons.
Jesus told them, “Fill the jars with water.” So they filled them to the brim.
Then he told them, “Draw some out now and take it to the headwaiter.” So they took it.
And when the headwaiter tasted the water that had become wine, without knowing where it came from (although the servers who had drawn the water knew), the headwaiter called the bridegroom
and said to him, “Everyone serves good wine first, and then when people have drunk freely, an inferior one; but you have kept the good wine until now.”
Jesus did this as the beginning of his signs in Cana in Galilee and so revealed his glory, and his disciples began to believe in him.
