إنجيل القدّيس متّى .20-10:15
دَعَا يَسُوعُ الجَمْعَ وقَالَ لَهُم: إِسْمَعُوا وٱفْهَمُوا
لَيْسَ مَا يَدْخُلُ الفَمَ يُنَجِّسُ الإِنْسَان، بَلْ مَا يَخْرُجُ مِنَ الفَمِ هُوَ مَا يُنَجِّسُ الإِنْسَان
حينَئِذٍ دَنَا مِنْهُ التَّلاميذُ وقَالُوا لَهُ: أَتَعْلَمُ أَنَّ الفَرِّيسيِّينَ تَشَكَّكُوا حِيْنَ سَمِعُوا هذَا الكَلام؟
فَأَجَابَ وقَال: كُلُّ غَرْسَةٍ لَمْ يَغرِسْهَا أَبي السَّماوِيُّ تُقلَع
دَعُوهُم! إِنَّهُم عُمْيَانٌ قَادَةُ عُمْيَان. وإِنْ كَانَ أَعْمَى يَقُودُ أَعْمَى، فَكِلاهُمَا يَسْقُطَانِ في حُفْرَة
فَأَجَابَ بُطْرُسُ وقَالَ لَهُ: فَسِّرْ لَنَا هذَا المَثَل
فقَال: وهَلْ أَنْتُم أَيْضًا إِلى الآنَ لا تَفْهَمُون؟
أَلا تُدْرِكُونَ أَنَّ كُلَّ مَا يَدْخُلُ الفَمَ يَنْزِلُ إِلى الجَوف، ثُمَّ يُدْفَعُ إِلى الخَلاء؟
أَمَّا مَا يَخْرُجُ مِنَ الفَمِ فَمِنَ القَلْبِ يَصْدُر، وهُوَ مَا يُنَجِّسُ الإِنْسَان
فَمِنَ القَلْبِ تَصْدُرُ الأَفْكَارُ الشِّرِّيرَة، والقَتْلُ، والزِّنَى، والفُجُور، والسَّرِقَة، وشَهَادَةُ الزُّور، والتَّجْدِيف
تِلْكَ هِيَ الأُمُورُ الَّتِي تُنَجِّسُ الإِنْسَان. أَمَّا الأَكْلُ بِأَيْدٍ غَيْرِ مَغْسُولَةٍ فَلا يُنَجِّسُ الإِنْسَان
Holy Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Saint Matthew 9:32-38.
A demoniac who could not speak was brought to Jesus,
and when the demon was driven out the mute person spoke. The crowds were amazed and said, “Nothing like this has ever been seen in Israel.”
But the Pharisees said, “He drives out demons by the prince of demons.”
Jesus went around to all the towns and villages, teaching in their synagogues, proclaiming the gospel of the kingdom, and curing every disease and illness.
At the sight of the crowds, his heart was moved with pity for them because they were troubled and abandoned, like sheep without a shepherd.
Then he said to his disciples, “The harvest is abundant but the laborers are few;
so ask the master of the harvest to send out laborers for his harvest.”
