إنجيل القدّيس يوحنّا .10-1:20
في يَوْمِ الأَحَد، جَاءَتْ مَرْيَمُ المَجْدَلِيَّةُ إِلى القَبْرِ بَاكِرًا، وكَانَ بَعْدُ ظَلام، فَرَأَتِ الحَجَرَ مَرْفُوعًا عَنِ القَبْر
فَأَسْرَعَتْ وجَاءَتْ إِلى سِمْعَانَ بُطْرُسَ والتِّلْمِيذِ الآخَرِ الَّذي كَانَ يَسُوعُ يُحِبُّهُ، وقَالَتْ لَهُمَا: أَخَذُوا الرَّبَّ مِنَ القَبْر، ولا نَعْلَمُ أَيْنَ وَضَعُوه
فَخَرَجَ بُطْرُسُ والتِّلْمِيذُ الآخَرُ وأَتَيَا إِلى القَبْر
وكَانَ الٱثْنَانِ يُسْرِعَانِ مَعًا، إِلاَّ أَنَّ التِّلْمِيذَ الآخَرَ سَبَقَ بُطْرُس، فَوَصَلَ إِلى القَبْرِ أَوَّلاً
وَٱنْحَنَى فَرَأَى الرِّبَاطَاتِ مُلْقَاةً إِلى الأَرْض، ولكِنَّهُ لَمْ يَدْخُل
ثُمَّ وَصَلَ سِمْعَانُ بُطْرُسُ يَتْبَعُهُ، فَدَخَلَ القَبْرَ، وشَاهَدَ الرِّبَاطَاتِ مُلْقَاةً إِلى الأَرْض
وَالمِنْديلَ الَّذي كَانَ عَلى رَأْسِ يَسُوعَ غَيْرَ مُلْقًى مَعَ الرِّبَاطَات، بَلْ مَطْوِيًّا وَحْدَهُ في مَوْضِعٍ آخَر
حِينَئِذٍ دَخَلَ التِّلمِيذُ الآخَرُ الَّذي وَصَلَ إِلى القَبْرِ أَوَّلاً، ورَأَى فَآمَن؛
لأَنَّهُمَا لَمْ يَكُونَا بَعْدُ قَدْ فَهِمَا مَا جَاءَ في الكِتَاب، أَنَّهُ يَنْبَغِي أَنْ يَقُومَ مَنْ بَيْنِ الأَمْوَات
ثُمَّ عَادَ التِّلمِيذَانِ إِلى حَيْثُ يُقِيمَان
Holy Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Saint John 3:1-8.
There was a Pharisee named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews.
He came to Jesus at night and said to him, “Rabbi, we know that you are a teacher who has come from God, for no one can do these signs that you are doing unless God is with him.”
Jesus answered and said to him, “Amen, amen, I say to you, no one can see the kingdom of God without being born from above.”
Nicodemus said to him, “How can a person once grown old be born again? Surely he cannot reenter his mother’s womb and be born again, can he?”
Jesus answered, “Amen, amen, I say to you, no one can enter the kingdom of God without being born of water and Spirit.
What is born of flesh is flesh and what is born of spirit is spirit.
Do not be amazed that I told you, ‘You must be born from above.’
The wind blows where it wills, and you can hear the sound it makes, but you do not know where it comes from or where it goes; so it is with everyone who is born of the Spirit.”
