إنجيل القدّيس يوحنّا .36-31:3
أَلآتِي مِنْ فَوْقُ هُوَ فَوقَ الجَمِيع. مَنْ كَانَ مِنَ الأَرْضِ أَرْضِيٌّ هُوَ، ولُغَةَ الأَرْضِ يَتَكَلَّم. أَلآتي مِنَ السَّمَاءِ هُوَ فَوْقَ الجَمِيع
وهُوَ يَشْهَدُ بِمَا رَأَى وسَمِعَ، ولا أَحَدَ يَقْبَلُ شَهَادَتَهُ
مَنْ قَبِلَ شَهَادَتَهُ فَقَدْ خَتَمَ عَلى أَنَّ اللهَ صَادِق
فَمَنْ أَرْسَلَهُ اللهُ يَنْطِقُ بِكَلامِ الله، وهوَ يُعْطي الرُّوحَ بِغَيْرِ حِسَاب
أَلآبُ يُحِبُّ الٱبْنَ وقَدْ جَعَلَ في يَدِهِ كُلَّ شَيء
مَنْ يُؤْمِنُ بِٱلٱبْنِ يَنَالُ حَيَاةً أَبَدِيَّة، ومَنْ لا يُطِيعُ الٱبْنَ لَنْ يَرَى حَيَاةً، بَلْ غَضَبُ اللهِ يَسْتَقِرُّ عَلَيْه
Holy Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Saint Mark 1:40-45.
A leper came to him and kneeling down begged him and said, “If you wish, you can make me clean.”
Moved with pity, he stretched out his hand, touched him, and said to him, “I do will it. Be made clean.”
The leprosy left him immediately, and he was made clean.
Then, warning him sternly, he dismissed him at once.
Then he said to him, “See that you tell no one anything, but go, show yourself to the priest and offer for your cleansing what Moses prescribed; that will be proof for them.”
The man went away and began to publicize the whole matter. He spread the report abroad so that it was impossible for Jesus to enter a town openly. He remained outside in deserted places, and people kept coming to him from everywhere.
