إنجيل القدّيس متّى 43-36:13
تَرَكَ يَسُوعُ الجُمُوعَ وَأَتَى إِلى البَيْت، فَدَنَا مِنْهُ تَلامِيْذُهُ وقَالُوا لَهُ: فَسِّرْ لَنَا مَثَلَ زُؤَانِ الحَقْل
فَأَجَابَ وقَال: زَارِعُ الزَّرْعِ الجَيِّدِ هُوَ ٱبْنُ الإِنْسَان
والحَقْلُ هُوَ العَالَم، والزَّرْعُ الجَيِّدُ هُم أَبْنَاءُ المَلَكُوت، والزُّؤَانُ هُم بَنُو الشِّرِّير
والعَدُوُّ الَّذي زَرَعَ الزُّؤَانَ هُوَ إِبْلِيس، والحِصَادُ هُوَ نِهَايَةُ العَالَم، والحَصَّادُونَ هُمُ المَلائِكَة
فكَمَا يُجْمَعُ الزُّؤَانُ ويُحْرَقُ بِالنَّار، كَذلِكَ يَكُونُ في نِهَايَةِ العَالَم
يُرْسِلُ ٱبْنُ الإِنْسَانِ مَلائِكَتَهُ، فَيَجْمَعُونَ مِنْ مَمْلَكَتِهِ كُلَّ الشُّكُوكِ وفَاعِلي الإِثْم
ويُلقُونَهُم في أَتُّونِ النَّار. هُنَاكَ يَكُونُ البُكَاءُ وصَرِيْفُ الأَسْنَان
حينَئِذٍ يَسْطَعُ الأَبْرَارُ كالشَّمْسِ في مَلَكُوتِ أَبِيْهِم. مَنْ لَهُ أُذُنَانِ فَلْيَسْمَع
Holy Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Saint Luke 13:1-9.
Some people told Jesus about the Galileans whose blood Pilate had mingled with the blood of their sacrifices.
He said to them in reply, “Do you think that because these Galileans suffered in this way they were greater sinners than all other Galileans?
By no means! But I tell you, if you do not repent, you will all perish as they did!
Or those eighteen people who were killed when the tower at Siloam fell on them –do you think they were more guilty than everyone else who lived in Jerusalem?
By no means! But I tell you, if you do not repent, you will all perish as they did!”
And he told them this parable: “There once was a person who had a fig tree planted in his orchard, and when he came in search of fruit on it but found none,
he said to the gardener, ‘For three years now I have come in search of fruit on this fig tree but have found none. (So) cut it down. Why should it exhaust the soil?’
He said to him in reply, ‘Sir, leave it for this year also, and I shall cultivate the ground around it and fertilize it;
it may bear fruit in the future. If not you can cut it down.'”
