إنجيل القدّيس لوقا 17-13:16
ما مِن خادِمٍ يَستَطيعُ أَن يَعمَلَ لِسَيِّدَيْن، لِأَنَّه إِمَّا أَن يُبغِضَ أَحَدَهُما ويُحِبَّ الآخَر، وإِمَّا أَن يَلَزمَ أَحَدَهما ويَزدَرِيَ الآخَر. فأَنتُم لا تَستَطيعونَ أَن تَعمَلوا لِله ولِلمال».
وكانَ الفِرِّيسِيُّونَ، وهُم مُحِبُّونَ لِلمال، يَسمَعونَ هذا كُلَّه وَيَهزَأُونَ بِه.
فقالَ لَهم: «أَنتُم تُزَكُّونَ أَنفُسَكم في نَظَرِ النَّاس، لكِنَّ اللهَ عالِمٌ بِما في قُلوبِكم، لِأَنَّ الرَّفيعَ عِندَ النَّاسِ رِجْسٌ في نَظَرِ الله.
دامَ عَهْدُ الشَّريعَةِ والأَنبِياءِ حتَّى يوحَنَّا، ومِن ذلكَ الحِينِ يُبَشَّرُ بِمَلكوتِ الله، وكُلُّ امْرِئٍ مُلزَمٌ بِدُخوِله.
لِأَن تَزولَ السَّماءُ والأَرضُ أَيسرُ مِن أَن تَسقُطَ نُقطَةٌ واحِدَةٌ مِنَ الشَّريعَة
Holy Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Saint Luke 5:33-39.
And they said to him, “The disciples of John fast often and offer prayers, and the disciples of the Pharisees do the same; but yours eat and drink.”
Jesus answered them, “Can you make the wedding guests fast while the bridegroom is with them?
But the days will come, and when the bridegroom is taken away from them, then they will fast in those days.
And he also told them a parable. No one tears a piece from a new cloak to patch an old one. Otherwise, he will tear the new and the piece from it will not match the old cloak.
Likewise, no one pours new wine into old wine skins. Otherwise, the new wine will burst the skins, and it will be spilled, and the skins will be ruined.
Rather, new wine must be poured into fresh wine skins.
(And) no one who has been drinking old wine desires new, for he says, ‘The old is good.’
