إنجيل القدّيس مرقس .20-15:16
قالَ الربُّ يَسوعُ لِتَلاميذِه: إِذْهَبُوا إِلى العَالَمِ كُلِّهِ، وَٱكْرِزُوا بِٱلإِنْجِيلِ لِلْخَلِيقَةِ كُلِّها
فَمَنْ آمَنَ وَٱعْتَمَدَ يَخْلُص، وَمَنْ لَمْ يُؤْمِنْ فَسَوْفَ يُدَان
وهذِهِ الآيَاتُ تَتْبَعُ الْمُؤْمِنين: بِٱسْمِي يُخْرِجُونَ الشَّيَاطِين، ويَتَكَلَّمُونَ بِلُغَاتٍ جَدِيدَة
ويُمْسِكُونَ الْحَيَّات، وَإِنْ شَرِبُوا سُمًّا مُمِيتًا فَلا يُؤْذِيهِم، ويَضَعُونَ أَيْدِيَهُم عَلى المَرْضَى فَيَتَعَافَوْن
وبَعْدَمَا كَلَّمَهُمُ ٱلرَّبُّ يَسُوع، رُفِعَ إِلى السَّمَاء، وجَلَسَ عَنْ يَمِينِ ٱلله
أَمَّا هُم فَخَرَجُوا وَكَرَزُوا في كُلِّ مَكَان، والرَّبُّ يَعْمَلُ مَعَهُم وَيُؤَيِّدُ الكَلِمَةَ بِمَا يَصْحَبُها مِنَ الآيَات
Holy Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Saint Mark 11:27-33.
Jesus and his disciples returned once more to Jerusalem. As he was walking in the temple area, the chief priests, the scribes, and the elders approached him
and said to him, “By what authority are you doing these things? Or who gave you this authority to do them?”
Jesus said to them, “I shall ask you one question. Answer me, and I will tell you by what authority I do these things.
Was John’s baptism of heavenly or of human origin? Answer me.”
They discussed this among themselves and said, “If we say, ‘Of heavenly origin,’ he will say, ‘(Then) why did you not believe him?’
But shall we say, ‘Of human origin’?”–they feared the crowd, for they all thought John really was a prophet.
So they said to Jesus in reply, “We do not know.” Then Jesus said to them, “Neither shall I tell you by what authority I do these things.”
