إنجيل القدّيس يوحنّا 8-1:15
قالَ الربُّ يَسوعُ: «أَنَا هُوَ الكَرْمَةُ الحَقِيقِيَّةُ وأَبِي الكَرَّام. كُلُّ غُصْنٍ فِيَّ لا يَحْمِلُ ثَمَرًا يَقْطَعُهُ، وكُلُّ غُصْنٍ يَحْمِلُ ثَمَرًا يُنَقِّيهِ لِيَحْمِلَ ثَمَرًا أَكْثَر. أَنْتُمُ الآنَ أَنْقِيَاءُ بِفَضْلِ الكَلِمَةِ الَّتِي كَلَّمْتُكُم بِهَا. أُثْبُتُوا فِيَّ، وأَنَا فِيكُم كَمَا أَنَّ الغُصْنَ لا يَقْدِرُ أَنْ يَحْمِلَ ثَمَرًا مِنْ تِلْقَاءِ ذَاتِهِ، إِنْ لَمْ يَثْبُتْ في الكَرْمَة، كَذلِكَ أَنْتُم أَيْضًا إِنْ لَمْ تَثْبُتُوا فِيَّ. أَنَا هُوَ الكَرْمَةُ وأَنْتُمُ الأَغْصَان. مَنْ يَثْبُتُ فِيَّ وأَنَا فِيه، يَحْمِلُ ثَمَرًا كَثيرًا، لأَنَّكُم بِدُونِي لا تَقْدِرُونَ أَنْ تَفْعَلُوا شَيْئًا. مَنْ لا يَثْبُتُ فِيَّ يُطْرَحُ كَالغُصْنِ خَارِجًا ويَيْبَس. وتُجْمَعُ الأَغْصَانُ اليَابِسَة، وتُطْرَحُ في النَّارِ فَتَحْتَرِق. إِنْ تَثْبُتُوا فِيَّ، وتَثْبُتْ أَقْوَالِي فِيكُم، تَطْلُبُوا مَا تَشَاؤُونَ فَيَكُونَ لَكُم. بِهذَا يُمَجَّدُ أَبِي أَنْ تَحْمِلُوا ثَمَرًا كَثيرًا، وتَصِيرُوا لي تَلاميذ
Holy Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Saint Mark 4:35-41.
On that day, as evening drew on, he said to them, “Let us cross to the other side.” Leaving the crowd, they took him with them in the boat just as he was. And other boats were with him. A violent squall came up and waves were breaking over the boat, so that it was already filling up. Jesus was in the stern, asleep on a cushion. They woke him and said to him, “Teacher, do you not care that we are perishing?” He woke up, rebuked the wind, and said to the sea, “Quiet! Be still!” The wind ceased and there was great calm. Then he asked them, “Why are you terrified? Do you not yet have faith?” They were filled with great awe and said to one another, “Who then is this whom even wind and sea obey?”
