إنجيل القدّيس متّى .15-11:28
جَاءَ بَعْضُ الحُرَّاسِ إِلى المَدِيْنَة، وأَخْبَرُوا الأَحْبَارَ بِكُلِّ مَا حَدَث
فَٱجْتَمَعَ الأَحْبَارُ والشُّيُوخُ وتَشَاوَرُوا، ثُمَّ رَشَوا ٱلجُنُودَ بِمَبْلَغٍ كَبِيرٍ مِنَ الفِضَّة
قَائِلِين: قُولُوا: إِنَّ تَلامِيذَهُ أَتَوا لَيْلاً وسَرَقُوه، ونَحْنُ نَائِمُون
وإِذَا سَمِعَ الوَالي بِالخَبَر، فَسَوْفَ نُرْضِيه، ونَجْعَلُكُم في أَمَان
فَأَخَذَ الجُنُودُ الفِضَّة، وفَعَلُوا كَمَا عَلَّمُوهُم. فَشَاعَ هذَا ٱلقَولُ عِنْدَ ٱليَهُودِ إِلى هذَا ٱليَوم
Holy Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Saint John 3:16-21.
God so loved the world that he gave his only-begotten Son, so that everyone who believes in him might not perish but might have eternal life.
For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world might be saved through him.
Whoever believes in him will not be condemned, but whoever does not believe has already been condemned, because he has not believed in the name of the only Son of God.
And this is the verdict, that the light came into the world, but people preferred darkness to light, because their works were evil.
For everyone who does wicked things hates the light and does not come toward the light, so that his works might not be exposed.
But whoever lives the truth comes to the light, so that his works may be clearly seen as done in God.
