إنجيل القدّيس متّى 39-29:15
وٱنْتَقَلَ يَسُوعُ مِنْ هُنَاك، وأَتَى إِلى نَاحِيَةِ بَحْرِ الجَليل، وصَعِدَ إِلى الجَبَلِ فَجَلَسَ هُنَاك.
ودَنَا مِنْهُ جُمُوعٌ كَثِيْرَة، ومَعَهُم عُرْجٌ، وعُمْيَان، ومُقْعَدُون، وخُرْسٌ، ومَرْضَى كَثِيْرُون. وطَرَحُوهُم عِنْدَ قَدَمَي يَسُوعَ فَشَفَاهُم،
حَتَّى تَعَجَّبَ الجَمْعُ لَمَّا رَأَوا الخُرْسَ يَتَكَلَّمُون، والمُقْعَدِ²يْنَ يُشْفَوْن، والعُرْجَ يَمْشُون، والعُمْيَانَ يُبْصِرُون. فَمَجَّدُوا إِلهَ إِسْرَائِيل.
ودَعَا يَسُوعُ تَلامِيْذَهُ وقَال: «أَتَحَنَّنُ على هذَا الجَمْع، لأَنَّهُم يُلازِمُونَنِي مُنْذُ ثَلاثَةِ أَيَّام، ولَيْسَ لَهُم مَا يَأْكُلُون. ولا أُرِيْدُ أَنْ أَصْرِفَهُم صَائِمِينَ لِئَلاَّ تَخُورَ قُوَاهُم في الطَّريق».
فقَالَ لَهُ التَّلامِيذ: «مِنْ أَيْنَ لَنَا في البَرِّيَّةِ خُبْزٌ بِهذَا المِقْدَارِ حَتَّى يُشْبِعَ هذَا الجَمْعَ الغَفِيْر؟».
فَقَالَ لَهُم يَسُوع: «كَمْ رَغِيْفًا لَدَيْكُم؟». فَقَالُوا: «سَبْعَةُ أَرْغِفَة، وبَعْضُ سَمَكَاتٍ صِغَار».
وأَمَرَ يَسُوعُ الجَمْعَ أَنْ يَجْلِسُوا عَلى الأَرْض.
وأَخَذَ الأَرْغِفَةَ السَّبْعَةَ والسَّمَكَات، وشَكرَ وكَسَرَ وبَدَأَ يُنَاوِلُ التَّلامِيْذ، والتَّلامِيْذُ يُنَاوِلُونَ الجُمُوع.
فَأَكَلُوا جَمِيْعُهُم وشَبِعُوا، ورَفَعُوا مِنْ فَضَلاتِ الكِسَرِ سَبْعَةَ سِلالٍ مَمْلُوءَة.
وكَانَ الآكِلُونَ أَرْبَعَةَ آلافِ رَجُل، ما عَدَا النِّسَاءَ والأَطْفَال.
وبَعْدَ أَنْ صَرَفَ الجُمُوعَ ركِبَ السَّفِيْنَة، وجَاءَ إِلى نَوَاحِي مَجْدَلْ
Holy Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Saint Luke 11:14-23.
Jesus was driving out a demon that was mute, and when the demon had gone out, the mute man spoke and the crowds were amazed.
Some of them said, “By the power of Beelzebul, the prince of demons, he drives out demons.”
Others, to test him, asked him for a sign from heaven.
But he knew their thoughts and said to them, “Every kingdom divided against itself will be laid waste and house will fall against house.
And if Satan is divided against himself, how will his kingdom stand? For you say that it is by Beelzebul that I drive out demons.
If I, then, drive out demons by Beelzebul, by whom do your own people drive them out? Therefore they will be your judges.
But if it is by the finger of God that (I) drive out demons, then the kingdom of God has come upon you.
When a strong man fully armed guards his palace, his possessions are safe.
But when one stronger than he attacks and overcomes him, he takes away the armor on which he relied and distributes the spoils.
Whoever is not with me is against me, and whoever does not gather with me scatters.
