إنجيل القدّيس متّى 17-12:4
ولَمَّا سَمِعَ يَسُوعُ أَنَّ يُوحَنَّا قَدْ أُسْلِمَ، لَجَأَ إِلى الجَلِيل.
ثُمَّ تَرَكَ النَّاصِرَةَ وأَتَى فَسَكَنَ في كَفَرْنَاحُوم، عَلى شَاطِئِ البَحْر، في نَوَاحِي زَبُولُونَ ونَفْتَالي،
لِيَتِمَّ مَا قِيلَ بِالنَّبِيِّ آشَعْيا:
«أَرْضُ زَبُولُونَ وأَرْضُ نَفْتَالي، طَرِيقُ البَحْر، عِبْرُ الأُرْدُنّ، جَلِيلُ الأُمَم.
أَلشَّعْبُ الجَالِسُ في الظُّلْمَةِ أَبْصَرَ نُورًا عَظِيمًا، والجَالِسُونَ في بُقْعَةِ المَوْتِ وظِلالِهِ أَشْرَقَ عَلَيْهِم نُور».
مِنْ ذلِكَ الحِينِ بَدَأَ يَسُوعُ يَكْرِزُ ويَقُول: تُوبُوا، فَقَدِ ٱقْتَرَبَ مَلَكُوتُ السَّمَاوَات
Holy Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Saint Mark 6:53-56.
After making the crossing, they came to land at Gennesaret and tied up there.
As they were leaving the boat, people immediately recognized him.
They scurried about the surrounding country and began to bring in the sick on mats to wherever they heard he was.
Whatever villages or towns or countryside he entered, they laid the sick in the marketplaces and begged him that they might touch only the tassel on his cloak; and as many as touched it were healed.
