إنجيل القدّيس لوقا .11-1:5
فيمَا كانَ الجَمْعُ مُزْدَحِمًا على يَسُوعَ يُصْغِي إِلى كَلِمَةِ الله، وكَانَ يَسُوعُ واقِفًا على شَاطِئِ بُحَيْرَةِ جِنَّاشَر
رأَى سَفِينَتَيْنِ راسِيَتَيْنِ عِنْدَ الشَّاطِئ، وقَدْ نَزَلَ مِنْهُمَا الصَّيَّادُونَ يَغْسِلُونَ الشِّبَاك
فَصَعِدَ إِلى إِحْدَى السَّفينَتَيْن، وكَانَتْ لِسِمْعَان، وسَأَلَهُ أَنْ يَبتَعِدَ قَليلاً عَنِ البَرّ، ثُمَّ جَلَسَ يُعَلِّمُ الجُمُوعَ مِنَ السَّفِينَة
ولَمَّا فَرَغَ مِنَ الكَلام، قالَ لِسِمْعَان: إِبْتَعِدْ إِلى العُمْق، وأَلْقُوا شِباكَكُم لِلصَّيْد
فأَجَابَ سِمْعَانُ وقَالَ لَهُ: يا مُعَلِّم، قَدْ تَعِبْنَا اللَّيْلَ كُلَّهَ ولَمْ نُصِبْ شَيْئًا! وَلكِنْ لأَجْلِ كَلِمَتِكَ أُلْقِي الشِّبَاك
ولَمَّا فَعَلُوا ذلِكَ ضَبَطُوا سَمَكًا كَثيرًا جِدًّا، وأَخَذَتْ شِبَاكُهُم تَتَمَزَّق
فأَشَارُوا إِلى شُرَكائِهِم في السَّفِينَةِ الأُخْرَى، لِيَأْتُوا وَيُسَاعِدُوهُم. فَأَتَوا وَمَلأُوا السَّفينَتَيْنِ حَتَّى أَخَذَتَا تَغْرَقَان
وَرأَى ذلِكَ سِمْعَانُ بُطْرُسُ فٱرْتَمَى عِنْدَ رُكْبَتَي يَسُوعَ قائِلاً: تبَاعَدْ عَنِّي، يا رَبّ، فَإنِّي رَجُلٌ خَاطِئ
لأَنَّ الذُّهُولَ كانَ ٱعْتَرَاهُ هُوَ وجَمِيعَ مَنْ مَعَهُ، لِمَا أَصَابُوهُ مِنْ صَيْدِ السَّمَك
وهكذَا كانَ لِيَعْقُوبَ ويُوحَنَّا ٱبنَي زَبَدَى، اللَّذَينِ كانَا شَريكَيْنِ لِسِمْعَان. فقَالَ يَسُوعُ لِسِمْعَان: لا تَخَفْ! مِنَ الآنَ تَكُونُ صَيَّادًا لِلنَّاس
ولَمَّا عَادُوا بِالسَّفينَةِ إِلى البَرّ، تَرَكُوا كُلَّ شَيء، وتَبِعُوا يَسُوع
Holy Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Saint John 10:1-10.
Jesus said: “Amen, amen, I say to you, whoever does not enter a sheepfold through the gate but climbs over elsewhere is a thief and a robber.
But whoever enters through the gate is the shepherd of the sheep.
The gatekeeper opens it for him, and the sheep hear his voice, as he calls his own sheep by name and leads them out.
When he has driven out all his own, he walks ahead of them, and the sheep follow him, because they recognize his voice.
But they will not follow a stranger; they will run away from him, because they do not recognize the voice of strangers.”
Although Jesus used this figure of speech, they did not realize what he was trying to tell them.
So Jesus said again, “Amen, amen, I say to you, I am the gate for the sheep.
All who came (before me) are thieves and robbers, but the sheep did not listen to them.
I am the gate. Whoever enters through me will be saved, and will come in and go out and find pasture.
A thief comes only to steal and slaughter and destroy; I came so that they might have life and have it more abundantly.”
