إنجيل القدّيس متّى .58-54:13
أَتَى يَسوعُ إِلى النَّاصِرَةَِ بَلْدَتِهِ، فَأَخَذَ يُعَلِّمُ في مَجْمَعِهِم حَتَّى بُهِتُوا وقَالُوا: «مِنْ أَيْنَ لَهُ هذِهِ الحِكْمَةُ وهذِهِ الأَعْمَالُ القَدِيْرَة؟
أَلَيْسَ هذَا ٱبْنَ النَّجَّار؟ أَلا تُدْعَى أُمُّهُ مَرْيَم، وإِخْوَتُهُ يَعْقُوبَ ويُوسِي، وسِمْعَانَ ويَهُوذَا؟
أَلَيْسَتْ جَمِيْعُ أَخَوَاتِهِ عِنْدَنَا؟ فَمِنْ أَيْنَ لَهُ كُلُّ هذَا؟
وكَانُوا يَشُكُّونَ فِيه. أَمَّا يَسُوعُ فَقَالَ لَهُم: «لا يَكُونُ نَبِيٌّ بِلا كَرَامَةٍ إِلاَّ في بَلْدَتِهِ وفي بَيْتِهِ
ولَمْ يَصْنَعْ هُنَاكَ أَعْمَالاً قَدِيْرَةً كَثِيْرَةً لِعَدَمِ إِيْمَانِهِم بِهِ
Holy Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Saint Luke 21:12-19.
Jesus said to the crowd: “They will seize and persecute you, they will hand you over to the synagogues and to prisons, and they will have you led before kings and governors because of my name.
It will lead to your giving testimony.
Remember, you are not to prepare your defense beforehand,
for I myself shall give you a wisdom in speaking that all your adversaries will be powerless to resist or refute.
You will even be handed over by parents, brothers, relatives, and friends, and they will put some of you to death.
You will be hated by all because of my name,
but not a hair on your head will be destroyed.
By your perseverance you will secure your lives.”
