إنجيل القدّيس يوحنّا .6-1:10
قالَ الرَبُّ يَسوع: أَلحَقَّ ٱلحَقَّ أَقُولُ لَكُم: مَنْ لا يَدْخُلُ حَظيرَةَ الخِرَافِ مِنْ بَابِهَا، بَلْ يَتَسَلَّقُ مِنْ مَوْضِعٍ آخَر، فَهُوَ لِصٌّ وسَارِق
أَمَّا مَنْ يَدْخُلُ مِنَ البَابِ فَهُوَ رَاعِي الخِرَاف
لَهُ يَفْتَحُ البَوَّاب، وَالخِرَافُ تَسْمَعُ صَوْتَهُ، فَيَدْعُو خِرَافَهُ بِأَسْمَائِهَا ويُخْرِجُهَا
وعِنْدَمَا يُخْرِجُ كُلَّ خِرَافِهِ، يَسيرُ قُدَّامَهَا، والخِرَافُ تَتْبَعُهُ، لأَنَّهَا تَعْرِفُ صَوْتَهُ
أَمَّا الغَرِيبُ فَلَنْ تَتْبَعَهُ بَلْ تَهْرُبُ مِنْهُ، لأَنَّهَا لا تَعْرِفُ صَوْتَ الغُرَبَاء
قَالَ لَهُم يَسُوعُ هذَا المَثَل، فَلَمْ يَفْهَمُوا مَا كَانَ يُكَلِّمُهُم بِهِ
Holy Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Saint Luke 17:1-6.
Jesus said to his disciples, “Things that cause sin will inevitably occur, but woe to the person through whom they occur.
It would be better for him if a millstone were put around his neck and he be thrown into the sea than for him to cause one of these little ones to sin.
Be on your guard! If your brother sins, rebuke him; and if he repents, forgive him.
And if he wrongs you seven times in one day and returns to you seven times saying, ‘I am sorry,’ you should forgive him.”
And the apostles said to the Lord, “Increase our faith.”
The Lord replied, “If you have faith the size of a mustard seed, you would say to (this) mulberry tree, ‘Be uprooted and planted in the sea,’ and it would obey you.
