إنجيل القدّيس لوقا .21-13:12
قَالَ وَاحِدٌ مِنَ الجَمْع لِيَسُوع: يَا مُعَلِّم، قُلْ لأَخِي أَنْ يُقَاسِمَنِي المِيرَاث
فَقَالَ لهُ: يا رَجُل، مَنْ أَقَامَنِي عَلَيْكُمَا قَاضِيًا وَمُقَسِّمًا؟
ثُمَّ قَالَ لَهُم: إِحْذَرُوا، وَتَحَفَّظُوا مِنْ كُلِّ طَمَع، لأَنَّهُ مَهْمَا كَثُرَ غِنَى الإِنْسَان، فَحَياتُهُ لَيْسَتْ مِنْ مُقْتَنَياتِهِ
وَقَالَ لَهُم هذَا المَثَل: رَجُلٌ غَنِيٌّ أَغَلَّتْ لهُ أَرْضُهُ
فَرَاحَ يُفَكِّرُ في نَفْسِهِ قَائِلاً: مَاذَا أَفْعَل، وَلَيْسَ لَدَيَّ مَا أَخْزُنُ فِيهِ غَلاَّتِي؟
ثُمَّ قَال: سَأَفْعَلُ هذَا: أَهْدِمُ أَهْرَائِي، وَأَبْنِي أَكْبَرَ مِنْها، وَأَخْزُنُ فِيهَا كُلَّ حِنْطَتِي وَخَيْراتِي
وَأَقُولُ لِنَفْسِي: يا نَفْسِي، لَكِ خَيْرَاتٌ كَثِيرَةٌ مُدَّخَرَةٌ لِسِنينَ كَثِيرَة، فٱسْتَريِحي، وَكُلِي، وٱشْرَبِي، وَتَنَعَّمِي
فَقَالَ لَهُ الله: يا جَاهِل، في هذِهِ اللَّيْلَةِ تُطْلَبُ مِنْكَ نَفْسُكَ. وَمَا أَعْدَدْتَهُ لِمَنْ يَكُون؟
هكذَا هِيَ حَالُ مَنْ يَدَّخِرُ لِنَفْسِهِ، وَلا يَغْتَنِي لله
Holy Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Saint Mark 7:14-23.
Jesus summoned the crowd again and said to them, “Hear me, all of you, and understand.
Nothing that enters one from outside can defile that person; but the things that come out from within are what defile.”
When he got home away from the crowd his disciples questioned him about the parable.
He said to them, “Are even you likewise without understanding? Do you not realize that everything that goes into a person from outside cannot defile,
since it enters not the heart but the stomach and passes out into the latrine?” (Thus he declared all foods clean.)
But what comes out of a person, that is what defiles.
From within people, from their hearts, come evil thoughts, unchastity, theft, murder,
adultery, greed, malice, deceit, licentiousness, envy, blasphemy, arrogance, folly.
All these evils come from within and they defile.”
