إنجيل القدّيس مرقس 22-18:2
كانَ تَلاميذُ يُوحَنَّا والفَرِّيسِيُّونَ صَائِمِين. فجَاؤُوا وقَالُوا لِيَسُوع: لِمَاذَا تَلامِيذُ يُوحَنَّا وتَلامِيذُ الفَرِّيسيِّينَ يَصُومُون، وتَلامِيذُكَ لا يَصُومُون؟
فقالَ لَهُم يَسُوع: هَلْ يَسْتَطيعُ بَنُو العُرْسِ أَنْ يَصُومُوا وَالعَريسُ مَعَهُم؟ ما دَامَ العَرِيسُ مَعَهُم لا يَسْتَطِيعُونَ أَنْ يَصُومُوا
ولكِنْ ستَأْتِي أَيَّامٌ يَكُونُ فيهَا العَريسُ قَدْ رُفِعَ مِنْ بَيْنِهِم، فحِينَئِذٍ في ذلِكَ اليَوْمِ يَصُومُون
لا أَحَدَ يَضَعُ رُقْعَةً جَدِيدَةً في ثَوْبٍ بَالٍ، وإِلاَّ فَٱلجَدِيدُ يَأْخُذُ مِلأَهُ مِنَ البَالي، فيَصِيرُ الخِرْقُ أَسْوَأ
ولا أَحَدَ يَضَعُ خَمْرَةً جَدِيدَةً في زِقَاقٍ عَتِيقَة، وإِلاَّ فَٱلْخَمْرَةُ تَشُقُّ الزِّقَاق، فَتُتْلَفُ الخَمْرَةُ والزِّقَاقُ مَعًا. بَلْ تُوضَعُ الخَمْرَةُ الجَدِيدَةُ في زِقَاقٍ جَدِيدَة
Holy Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Saint Luke 17:26-37.
Jesus said to his disciples: “As it was in the days of Noah, so it will be in the days of the Son of Man;
they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage up to the day that Noah entered the ark, and the flood came and destroyed them all.
Similarly, as it was in the days of Lot: they were eating, drinking, buying, selling, planting, building;
on the day when Lot left Sodom, fire and brimstone rained from the sky to destroy them all.
So it will be on the day the Son of Man is revealed.
On that day, a person who is on the housetop and whose belongings are in the house must not go down to get them, and likewise a person in the field must not return to what was left behind.
Remember the wife of Lot.
Whoever seeks to preserve his life will lose it, but whoever loses it will save it.
I tell you, on that night there will be two people in one bed; one will be taken, the other left.
And there will be two women grinding meal together; one will be taken, the other left.”
They said to him in reply, “Where, Lord?” He said to them, “Where the body is, there also the vultures will gather.”
