إنجيل القدّيس يوحنّا .13-1:7
بَعْدَ ذلِك، كَانَ يَسُوعُ يَتَجَوَّلُ في الجَلِيل، ولا يَشَاءُ التَّجَوُّلَ في اليَهُودِيَّة، لأَنَّ اليَهُودَ كَانُوا يَطْلُبُونَ قَتْلَهُ
وكَانَ عِيدُ اليَهُود، عِيدُ المَظَالِّ، قَريبًا
فقَالَ لَهُ إِخْوَتُهُ: إِنتَقِلْ مِنْ هُنَا، وَٱذْهَبْ إِلى اليَهُودِيَّة، لِكَي يُشَاهِدَ تَلامِيذُكَ أَيْضًا ٱلأَعْمَالَ الَّتِي تَصْنَعُهَا
فَلا أَحَدَ يَعْمَلُ شَيْئًا في الخَفَاء، وهُوَ يَبْتَغِي الظُّهُور. إِنْ كُنْتَ تَصْنَعُ هذِهِ الأَعْمَال، فَأَظْهِرْ نَفْسَكَ لِلْعَالَم
لأَنَّ إِخْوتَهُ أَنْفُسَهُم مَا كَانُوا يُؤْمِنُونَ بِهِ
فَقَالَ لَهُم يَسُوع: مَا حَانَ وَقْتِي بَعْد، أَمَّا وَقْتُكُم فَهُوَ حَاضِرٌ فِي كُلِّ حِين
لا يَقْدِرُ العَالَمُ أَنْ يُبْغِضَكُم، لكِنَّهُ يُبْغِضُنِي، لأَنِّي أَشْهَدُ عَلَيْهِ أَنَّ أَعْمَالَهُ شِرِّيرَة
إِصْعَدُوا أَنْتُم إِلى العِيد، وأَنَا لا أَصْعَدُ إِلى هذَا العِيد، لأَنَّ وَقتِي مَا تَمَّ بَعْد
قَالَ لَهُم هذَا، وبَقِيَ في الجَلِيل
وبَعْدَمَا صَعِدَ إِخْوَتُهُ إِلى العِيد، صَعِدَ هُوَ أَيْضًا، لا ظَاهِرًا بَلْ في الخَفَاء
فَكَانَ اليَهُودُ يَطْلُبُونَهُ في العِيد، ويَقُولُون : أَيْنَ هُوَ ذَاك؟
وكَانَ في الجَمْعِ تَهَامُسٌ كَثِيرٌ في شَأْنِهِ. كَانَ بَعْضُهُم يَقُول: «إِنَّهُ صَالِح»، وآخَرُونَ يَقُولُون: لا، بَلْ هُوَ يُضَلِّلُ الجَمْع
ومَا كَانَ أَحَدٌ يَتَكَلَّمُ عَنْهُ عَلَنًا، خَوْفًا مِنَ اليَهُود
Holy Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Saint John 8:21-30.
Jesus said to the Pharisees: “I am going away and you will look for me, but you will die in your sin. Where I am going you cannot come.”
So the Jews said, “He is not going to kill himself, is he, because he said, ‘Where I am going you cannot come’?”
He said to them, “You belong to what is below, I belong to what is above. You belong to this world, but I do not belong to this world.
That is why I told you that you will die in your sins. For if you do not believe that I AM, you will die in your sins.”
So they said to him, “Who are you?” Jesus said to them, “What I told you from the beginning.
I have much to say about you in condemnation. But the one who sent me is true, and what I heard from him I tell the world.”
They did not realize that he was speaking to them of the Father.
So Jesus said (to them), “When you lift up the Son of Man, then you will realize that I AM, and that I do nothing on my own, but I say only what the Father taught me.
The one who sent me is with me. He has not left me alone, because I always do what is pleasing to him.”
Because he spoke this way, many came to believe in him.
