إنجيل القدّيس يوحنّا .37-31:8
قَالَ الرَبُّ يَسُوعُ لِليَهُودِ الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا بِهِ: إِنْ تَثْبُتُوا أَنْتُم في كَلِمَتِي تَكُونُوا حَقًّا تَلامِيذِي
وتَعْرِفُوا الحَقَّ، والحَقُّ يُحَرِّرُكُم
أَجَابُوه: نَحْنُ ذُرِّيَّةُ إِبْرَاهِيم، ومَا كُنَّا يَومًا عَبيدًا لأَحَد! كَيْفَ تَقُولُ أَنْت: تَصِيرُونَ أَحْرَارًا؟
أَجَابَهُم يَسُوع: أَلحَقَّ ٱلحَقَّ أَقُولُ لَكُم: كُلُّ مَنْ يَعْمَلُ الخَطِيئَةَ هُوَ عَبْدٌ لِلْخَطِيئَة
والعَبْدُ لا يُقِيمُ فِي البَيْتِ إِلى الأَبَد، أَمَّا الٱبْنُ فَيُقِيمُ إِلى الأَبَد
فَإِنْ يُحَرِّرْكُمُ الٱبْنُ تَكُونُوا أَحْرَارًا حَقًّا
أَنَا أَعْلَمُ أَنَّكُم ذُرِّيَّةُ إِبْرَاهِيم، ولكِنَّكُم تَطْلُبُونَ قَتْلِي، لأَنَّ كَلِمَتِي لا تَجِدُ فِيْكُم مُقَامًا
Holy Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Saint Luke 18:35-43.
As Jesus approached Jericho a blind man was sitting by the roadside begging,
and hearing a crowd going by, he inquired what was happening.
They told him, “Jesus of Nazareth is passing by.”
He shouted, “Jesus, Son of David, have pity on me!”
The people walking in front rebuked him, telling him to be silent, but he kept calling out all the more, “Son of David, have pity on me!”
Then Jesus stopped and ordered that he be brought to him; and when he came near, Jesus asked him,
What do you want me to do for you? He replied, “Lord, please let me see.”
Jesus told him, “Have sight; your faith has saved you.”
He immediately received his sight and followed him, giving glory to God. When they saw this, all the people gave praise to God.
