إنجيل القدّيس متّى .28-24:16
قَالَ الرَبُّ يَسُوعُ لِتَلامِيْذِهِ: مَنْ أَرَادَ أَنْ يَتْبَعَنِي، فَلْيَكْفُرْ بِنَفْسِهِ ويَحْمِلْ صَلِيْبَهُ ويَتْبَعْنِي
لأَنَّ مَنْ أَرَادَ أَنْ يُخَلِّصَ نَفْسَهُ يَفْقِدُهَا، ومَنْ فَقَدَ نَفْسَهُ مِنْ أَجْلِي يَجِدُهَا
فَمَاذَا يَنْفَعُ الإِنْسَانَ لَوْ رَبِحَ العَالَمَ كُلَّهُ وخَسِرَ نَفْسَهُ ؟ أَو مَاذَا يُعْطِي الإِنْسَانُ بَدَلاً عَنْ نَفْسِهِ؟
فَإِنَّ ٱبْنَ الإِنْسَانِ سَوْفَ يَأْتِي في مَجْدِ أَبِيْه، مَعَ مَلائِكَتِهِ، وحينَئِذٍ يُجَازِي كُلَّ وَاحِدٍ بِحَسَبِ أَعْمَالِهِ
أَلحَقَّ أَقُولُ لَكُم: إِنَّ بَعْضًا مِنَ القَائِمِينَ هُنَا لَنْ يَذُوقُوا المَوت، حَتَّى يَرَوا ٱبْنَ الإِنْسَانِ آتِيًا في مَلَكُوتِهِ
Holy Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Saint Luke 10:1-9.
The Lord appointed seventy-two others whom he sent ahead of him in pairs to every town and place he intended to visit.
He said to them, “The harvest is abundant but the laborers are few; so ask the master of the harvest to send out laborers for his harvest.
Go on your way; behold, I am sending you like lambs among wolves.
Carry no money bag, no sack, no sandals; and greet no one along the way.
Into whatever house you enter, first say, ‘Peace to this household.’
If a peaceful person lives there, your peace will rest on him; but if not, it will return to you.
Stay in the same house and eat and drink what is offered to you, for the laborer deserves his payment. Do not move about from one house to another.
Whatever town you enter and they welcome you, eat what is set before you,
cure the sick in it and say to them, ‘The kingdom of God is at hand for you.'”
