إنجيل القدّيس مرقس 37-33:9
ووَصَلَ يَسُوعُ وتَلامِيذُهُ إِلى كَفَرْنَاحُوم، ولَمَّا دَخَلَ البَيْتَ سَأَلَهُم: «بِمَ كُنْتُم تَتَجَادَلُونَ في الطَّريق؟».
فَظَلُّوا صَامِتين، لأَنَّهُم تَجَادَلُوا في الطَّريقِ في مَنْ هُوَ الأَعْظَم.
فجَلَسَ يَسُوع، ودَعَا ٱلٱثْنَي عَشَر، وقَالَ لَهُم: «إِنْ أَرَادَ أَحَدٌ أَنْ يَكُونَ الأَوَّل، فَلْيَكُنْ آخِرَ الجَمِيعِ وخَادِمَ الجَمِيع».
ثُمَّ أَخَذَ طِفْلاً وأَقَامَهُ في وَسَطِهِم، وضَمَّهُ بِذِرَاعَيْه، وقَالَ لَهُم:
مَنْ قَبِلَ بٱسْمِي وَاحِدًا مِنْ أَمْثَالِ هؤُلاءِ الأَطْفَال، فَهُوَ يَقْبَلُنِي. ومَنْ يَقْبَلُنِي فلا يَقْبَلُنِي أَنَا بَلِ الَّذي أَرْسَلَنِي
Holy Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Saint Matthew 9:9-13.
As Jesus passed on from there, he saw a man named Matthew sitting at the customs post. He said to him, “Follow me.” And he got up and followed him.
While he was at table in his house, many tax collectors and sinners came and sat with Jesus and his disciples.
The Pharisees saw this and said to his disciples, “Why does your teacher eat with tax collectors and sinners?”
He heard this and said, “Those who are well do not need a physician, but the sick do.
Go and learn the meaning of the words, ‘I desire mercy, not sacrifice.’ I did not come to call the righteous but sinners.”
