إنجيل القدّيس متّى .14-11:18
قالَ الرَبُّ يَسوعُ: جَاءَ ٱبْنُ الإِنْسَانِ لِيُخَلِّصَ مَا قَدْ هَلَك
مَا رَأْيُكُم؟ إِنْ كَانَ لِرَجُلٍ مِئَةُ خَرُوفٍ وضَلَّ وَاحِدٌ مِنْهَا، أَلا يَتْرُكُ التِّسْعَةَ والتِّسْعِيْنَ في الجِبَال، ويَذْهَبُ يَبْحَثُ عَنِ الخَرُوفِ الضَّالّ؟
وإِنْ وَجَدَهُ، أَلا يَفْرَحُ بِهِ ؟ أَلحقَّ أَقُولُ لَكُم: إِنَّهُ يَفْرَحُ بِهِ أَكْثَرَ مِنْ فَرَحِهِ بِالتِّسْعَةِ والتِّسْعِينَ الَّتِي لَمْ تَضِلّ
هكَذَا، فَإِنَّ مَشِيْئَةَ أَبِيْكُمُ الَّذي في السَّمَاوَاتِ هِيَ أَلاَّ يَهْلِكَ أَحَدٌ مِنْ هؤُلاءِ الصِّغَار
Holy Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Saint Matthew 5:17-19.
Jesus said to his disciples: “Do not think that I have come to abolish the law or the prophets. I have come not to abolish but to fulfill.
Amen, I say to you, until heaven and earth pass away, not the smallest letter or the smallest part of a letter will pass from the law, until all things have taken place.
Therefore, whoever breaks one of the least of these commandments and teaches others to do so will be called least in the kingdom of heaven. But whoever obeys and teaches these commandments will be called greatest in the kingdom of heaven.”
