Story of The Day- 22/09/09

إنجيل القدّيس مرقس 37-33:9
وجاؤوا إِلى كَفَرناحوم. فلَمَّا دخَلَ البَيتَ سأَلَهم: «فيمَ كُنتُم تَتَجادَلونَ في الطَّريق؟»
فظَلُّوا صامِتين، لأَنَّهم كانوا في الطَّريقِ يَتَجادَلونَ فيمَن هُو الأَكبَر.
فجَلَسَ ودَعا الاثَنيْ عَشَرَ وقالَ لَهم: «مَن أَرادَ أَن يَكونَ أَوَّلَ القَوم، فَلْيَكُنْ آخِرَهم جَميعًا وخادِمَهُم».
ثُمَّ أَخَذَ بِيَدِ طِفْلٍ فأَقامَه بَينَهم وضَمَّه إِلى صَدرِه وقالَ لَهم:
مَن قَبِلَ واحِدًا مِن أَمْثالِ هؤُلاءِ الأَطْفالِ إِكرامًا لِاسمِي فقَد قَبِلَني أَنا ومَن قَبِلَني فلم يَقبَلْني أَنا، بلِ الَّذي أَرسَلَني
