إنجيل القدّيس لوقا 42-38:10
فيمَا (كَانَ يَسوعُ و تلاميذهُ) سَائِرين، دَخَلَ يَسُوعُ إِحْدَى ٱلقُرَى، فٱسْتَقْبَلَتْهُ في بَيتِهَا ٱمْرَأَةٌ ٱسْمُها مَرْتا
وَكانَ لِمَرْتَا أُخْتٌ تُدْعَى مَرْيَم. فَجَلَسَتْ عِنْدَ قَدَمَي ٱلرَّبِّ تَسْمَعُ كَلامَهُ
أَمَّا مَرْتَا فَكانَتْ مُنْهَمِكَةً بِكَثْرَةِ ٱلخِدْمَة، فَجَاءَتْ وَقَالَتْ: «يَا رَبّ، أَمَا تُبَالي بِأَنَّ أُخْتِي تَرَكَتْنِي أَخْدُمُ وَحْدِي؟ فَقُلْ لَهَا أَنْ تُسَاعِدَنِي
فَأَجَابَ ٱلرَّبُّ وَقَالَ لَهَا: مَرْتا، مَرْتا، إِنَّكِ تَهْتَمِّينَ بِأُمُورٍ كَثِيرَة، وَتَضْطَرِبِين
إِنَّمَا ٱلمَطْلُوبُ وَاحِد! فَمَرْيَمُ ٱخْتَارَتِ ٱلنَّصِيبَ ٱلأَفْضَل، وَلَنْ يُنْزَعَ مِنْهَا
Holy Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Saint Matthew 9:14-17.

Jesus answered them, “Can the wedding guests mourn as long as the bridegroom is with them? The days will come when the bridegroom is taken away from them, and then they will fast.
No one patches an old cloak with a piece of unshrunken cloth, for its fullness pulls away from the cloak and the tear gets worse.
People do not put new wine into old wineskins. Otherwise the skins burst, the wine spills out, and the skins are ruined. Rather, they pour new wine into fresh wineskins, and both are preserved.”
