إنجيل القدّيس لوقا 24-16:14
قَالَ الرَبُّ يَسُوعُ:رَجُلٌ صَنَعَ عَشَاءً عَظِيمًا، وَدَعَا كَثِيرين
وسَاعَةَ العَشَاء، أَرْسَلَ عَبْدَهُ يَقُولُ لِلْمَدعُوِّين: تَعَالَوا، فَكُلُّ شَيءٍ مُهيَّأ
فَبَدَأَ الجَمِيعُ يَعْتَذِرُونَ عَلَى طَرِيقَةٍ وَاحِدَة. قَالَ لَهُ الأَوَّل: إِشْتَرَيْتُ حَقْلاً، وَأَنَا مُضْطَرٌّ أَنْ أَذْهَبَ لأَرَاه. أَسْأَلُكَ أَنْ تَعْذِرَنِي
وقَالَ آخَر: إِشْتَرَيْتُ خَمْسَةَ فَدَادِين، وَأَنَا ذَاهِبٌ لأُجَرِّبَها. أَسْأَلُكَ أَنْ تَعْذِرَني
وَقالَ آخَر: تَزَوَّجْتُ ٱمْرَأَةً، وَلِذلِكَ لا أَقْدِرُ أَنْ أَجِيء
وَعادَ العَبْدُ وَأَخْبَرَ سَيِّدَهُ بِذلِكَ. فَغَضِبَ رَبُّ البَيْتِ وقَالَ لِعَبْدِهِ: أُخْرُجْ سَرِيعًا إِلى سَاحَاتِ المَدِينَةِ وَشَوارِعِها، وَأْتِ إِلى هُنَا بِالمَسَاكِينِ وَالمُقْعَدِينَ وَالعُرْجِ وَالعُمْيَان
فَقالَ العَبْد: يَا سَيِّد، لَقَدْ نُفِّذَ مَا أَمَرْتَ بِه، وَبَقِي أَيْضًا مَكَان
فَقَالَ السَيِّدُ لِلعَبْد: أُخْرُجْ إِلى الطُّرُقِ والسِّيَاجَات، وَأَجْبِرِ النَّاسَ عَلَى الدُّخُول، حَتَّى يَمْتَلِئَ بَيْتِي
فإِنِّي أَقُولُ لَكُم: لَنْ يَذُوقَ عَشَائِي أَحَدٌ مِنْ أُولئِكَ المَدْعُوِّين
Holy Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Saint John 1:45-51.
Philip found Nathanael and told him, “We have found the one about whom Moses wrote in the law, and also the prophets, Jesus, son of Joseph, from Nazareth.”
But Nathanael said to him, “Can anything good come from Nazareth?” Philip said to him, “Come and see.”
Jesus saw Nathanael coming toward him and said of him, “Here is a true Israelite. There is no duplicity in him.”
Nathanael said to him, “How do you know me?” Jesus answered and said to him, “Before Philip called you, I saw you under the fig tree.”
Nathanael answered him, “Rabbi, you are the Son of God; you are the King of Israel.”
Jesus answered and said to him, “Do you believe because I told you that I saw you under the fig tree? You will see greater things than this.”
And he said to him, “Amen, amen, I say to you, you will see the sky opened and the angels of God ascending and descending on the Son of Man.”
