إنجيل القدّيس لوقا .59-49:12
قالَ الربُّ يَسوع: جِئْتُ أُلْقِي عَلَى الأَرْضِ نَارًا، وَكَمْ أَوَدُّ لَوْ تَكُونُ قَدِ ٱشْتَعَلَتْ
وَلي مَعْمُودِيَّةٌ أَتَعَمَّدُ بِهَا، وَمَا أَشَدَّ تَضَايُقِي إِلى أَنْ تَتِمّ
هَلْ تَظُنُّونَ أَنِّي جِئْتُ أُحِلُّ في الأَرْضِ سَلامًا؟ أقُولُ لَكُم: لا! بَلِ ٱنْقِسَامًا
فَمُنْذُ الآنَ يَكُونُ خَمْسَةٌ في بَيْتٍ وَاحِد، فَيَنْقَسِمُون: ثَلاثةٌ عَلَى ٱثْنَيْن، وٱثْنَانِ عَلى ثَلاثَة
يَنْقَسِمُ أَبٌ عَلَى ٱبْنِهِ وٱبْنٌ عَلَى أَبِيه، أُمٌّ عَلَى ٱبْنَتِهَا وٱبْنَةٌ عَلَى أُمِّهَا، حَمَاةٌ عَلَى كَنَّتِها وَكَنَّةٌ عَلَى حَمَاتِها
وَقَالَ أَيْضًا لِلْجُمُوع: مَتَى رَأَيْتُم سَحَابَةً تَطْلُعُ مِنَ المَغْرِب، تَقُولُونَ في الحَال: أَلمَطَرُ آتٍ! فَيَكُونُ كَذلِكَ
وَعِنْدَمَا تَهُبُّ رِيحُ الجَنُوب، تَقُولُون: سَيَكُونُ الطَّقْسُ حَارًّا! ويَكُونُ كَذلِكَ
أَيُّهَا المُرَاؤُون، تَعْرِفُونَ أَنْ تُمَيِّزُوا وَجْهَ الأَرْضِ وَالسَّمَاء، أَمَّا هذا الزَّمَانُ فَكَيْفَ لا تُمَيِّزُونَهُ؟
وَلِمَاذا لا تَحْكُمُونَ بِالحَقِّ مِنْ تِلْقَاءِ أَنْفُسِكُم؟
حِينَ تَذْهَبُ مَعَ خَصْمِكَ إِلى الحَاكِم، إِجْتَهِدْ في الطَّرِيقِ أَنْ تُنْهِيَ أَمْرَكَ مَعَهُ، لِئَلاَّ يَجُرَّكَ إِلى القَاضِي، وَيُسَلِّمَكَ القَاضِي إِلى السَّجَّان، وَالسَّجَّانُ يَطْرَحُكَ في السِّجْن
أَقُولُ لَكَ: لَنْ تَخْرُجَ مِنْ هُنَاك، حَتَّى تُؤَدِّيَ آخِرَ فَلْس
Holy Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Saint Mark 8:1-10.
In those days when there again was a great crowd without anything to eat, Jesus summoned the disciples and said,
My heart is moved with pity for the crowd, because they have been with me now for three days and have nothing to eat.
If I send them away hungry to their homes, they will collapse on the way, and some of them have come a great distance.”
His disciples answered him, “Where can anyone get enough bread to satisfy them here in this deserted place?”
Still he asked them, “How many loaves do you have?” “Seven,” they replied.
He ordered the crowd to sit down on the ground. Then, taking the seven loaves he gave thanks, broke them, and gave them to his disciples to distribute, and they distributed them to the crowd.
They also had a few fish. He said the blessing over them and ordered them distributed also.
They ate and were satisfied. They picked up the fragments left over–seven baskets.
There were about four thousand people. He dismissed them
and got into the boat with his disciples and came to the region of Dalmanutha.
