إنجيل القدّيس متّى 10-6:18
ومَنْ شَكَّكَ وَاحِدًا مِنْ هؤُلاءِ الصِّغَارِ المُؤْمِنِينَ بي، فَخَيْرٌ لَهُ أَنْ يُعَلَّقَ في عُنُقِهِ رَحَى الحِمَار، ويُزَجَّ بِهِ في عُمْقِ البَحْر.
أَلوَيلُ لِلْعَالَمِ مِنَ الشُّكُوك! فلا بُدَّ أَنْ تَقَعَ الشُّكُوك، ولكِنِ ٱلوَيْلُ لِمَنْ تَقَعُ الشُّكُوكُ بِسَبَبِهِ.
فَإِنْ كَانَتْ يَدُكَ أَو رِجْلُكَ سَبَبَ عَثْرَةٍ لَكَ، فَٱقْطَعْهَا وأَلْقِهَا عَنْكَ، فَخَيْرٌ لَكَ أَنْ تَدْخُلَ الحَيَاةَ وأَنْتَ أَقْطَعُ أَو أَعْرَج، مِنْ أَنْ يَكُونَ لَكَ يَدَانِ أَو رِجْلانِ وتُلْقَى في النَّارِ الأَبَدِيَّة.
وإِنْ كَانَتْ عَيْنُكَ سَبَبَ عَثْرَةٍ لَكَ، فَٱقْلَعْهَا وأَلْقِهَا عَنْكَ، فَخَيْرٌ لَكَ أَنْ تَدْخُلَ الحَيَاةَ بِعَيْنٍ وَاحِدَة، مِنْ أَنْ يَكُونَ لَكَ عَيْنَانِ وتُلْقَى في جَهَنَّمِ النَّار.
أُنْظُرُوا، لا تَحْتَقِرُوا أَحَدًا مِنْ هؤُلاءِ الصِّغَار، فَإِنِّي أَقُولُ لَكُم: إِنَّ مَلائِكتَهُم في السَّمَاوَاتِ يُشَاهِدُونَ كُلَّ حِينٍ وَجْهَ أَبِي الَّذي في السَّمَاوَات
Holy Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Saint Matthew 9:32-38.
As they were going out, a demoniac who could not speak was brought to him,
and when the demon was driven out the mute person spoke. The crowds were amazed and said, “Nothing like this has ever been seen in Israel.”
But the Pharisees said, “He drives out demons by the prince of demons.”
Jesus went around to all the towns and villages, teaching in their synagogues, proclaiming the gospel of the kingdom, and curing every disease and illness.
At the sight of the crowds, his heart was moved with pity for them because they were troubled and abandoned, like sheep without a shepherd.
Then he said to his disciples, “The harvest is abundant but the laborers are few;
so ask the master of the harvest to send out laborers for his harvest.”
