إنجيل القدّيس لوقا .13-1:4
عَادَ يَسُوعُ مِنَ الأُرْدُنِّ مُمْتَلِئًا مِنَ الرُّوحِ القُدُس، وكانُ الرُّوحُ يَقُودُهُ في البرِّيَّة
أَربَعِينَ يَومًا، وإِبلِيسُ يُجَرِّبُهُ. ولَمْ يأْكُلْ شَيئًا في تِلْكَ الأَيَّام. ولَمَّا تَمَّتْ جَاع
فقَالَ لَهُ إِبْلِيس: إنْ كُنْتَ ٱبنَ اللهِ فَقُلْ لِهذَا الحَجَرِ أَنْ يَصيرَ رَغيفًا
فأَجَابَهُ يَسُوع: مَكتُوب: لَيْسَ بِالخُبْزِ وَحْدَهُ يَحْيَا الإِنْسَان
وصَعِدَ بِهِ إِبليسُ إِلى جَبَلٍ عَالٍ، وأَرَاهُ جَمِيعَ مَمَالِكِ المَسْكُونَةِ في لَحْظَةٍ مِنَ الزَّمَن
وقالَ لهُ: أُعْطِيكَ هذَا السُّلْطَانَ كُلَّهُ، ومَجْدَ هذِهِ المَمَالِك، لأَنَّهُ سُلِّمَ إِليَّ، وأَنَا أُعْطِيهِ لِمَنْ أَشَاء
فإِنْ سَجَدْتَ أَمَامِي يَكُونُ كُلُّه لَكَ
فأَجَابَ يَسُوعُ وقَالَ لَهُ: مَكْتُوب: لِلرَّبِّ إِلهِكَ تَسْجُد، وإِيَّاهُ وَحْدَهُ تَعْبُد
وقَادَهُ إِبليسُ إِلى أُورَشَليم، وأَقَامَهُ على جَنَاحِ الهَيْكَل، وقَالَ لَهُ: إِنْ كُنْتَ ٱبْنَ ٱللهِ فأَلْقِ بنَفْسِكَ مِنْ هُنَا إِلى الأَسْفَل
لأَنَّهُ مَكْتُوب: يُوصِي مَلائِكتَهُ بِكَ لِيَحْفَظُوك
ومكْتُوبٌ أَيضًا: على أَيْدِيهِم يَحْمِلُونَكَ، لِئَلاَّ تَصْدِمَ بحَجَرٍ رِجلَكَ
فأَجَابَ يَسُوعُ وقَالَ لَهُ: إِنَّهُ قِيل: لا تُجَرِّبِ ٱلرَّبَّ إِلهَكَ
ولَمَّا أَتَمَّ إِبليسُ كُلَّ تَجَارِبِهِ، ٱبتَعَدَ عَنْ يَسُوعَ إِلى حِين
Holy Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Saint John 10:31-42.
The Jews picked up rocks to stone Jesus.
Jesus answered them, “I have shown you many good works from my Father. For which of these are you trying to stone me?”
The Jews answered him, “We are not stoning you for a good work but for blasphemy. You, a man, are making yourself God.”
Jesus answered them, “Is it not written in your law, ‘I said, “You are gods”‘?
If it calls them gods to whom the word of God came, and scripture cannot be set aside,
can you say that the one whom the Father has consecrated and sent into the world blasphemes because I said, ‘I am the Son of God’?
If I do not perform my Father’s works, do not believe me;
but if I perform them, even if you do not believe me, believe the works, so that you may realize (and understand) that the Father is in me and I am in the Father.”
(Then) they tried again to arrest him; but he escaped from their power.
He went back across the Jordan to the place where John first baptized, and there he remained.
Many came to him and said, “John performed no sign, but everything John said about this man was true.”
And many there began to believe in him.
