إنجيل القدّيس لوقا .23-14:11
كانَ يَسُوعُ يُخْرِجُ شَيْطَانًا أَخْرَس. فَلَمَّا أَخْرَجَ الشَّيْطَانَ تَكَلَّمَ الأَخْرَس، فَتَعَجَّبَ الجُمُوع
وَقالَ بَعْضُهُم: إِنَّهُ بِبَعْلَ زَبُول، رَئِيسِ الشَّيَاطِين، يُخْرِجُ الشَّيَاطِين
وَكانَ آخَرُونَ يَطْلُبُونَ مِنْهُ آيَةً مِنَ السَّمَاءِ لِيُجَرِّبُوه
أَمَّا يَسُوعُ فَعَلِمَ أَفْكَارَهُم وَقَالَ لَهُم: كُلُّ مَمْلَكَةٍ تَنْقَسِمُ عَلى نَفْسِها تَخْرَبْ، فَيَسْقُطُ بَيْتٌ عَلَى بَيْت
وَإِنِ ٱنْقَسَمَ الشَّيْطَانُ أَيْضًا عَلَى نَفْسِهِ، فَكَيْفَ تَثْبُتُ مَمْلَكَتُهُ؟ لأَنَّكُم تَقُولُون: إِنِّي بَبَعْلَ زَبُولَ أُخْرِجُ الشَّيَاطِين
وَإِنْ كُنْتُ أَنا بِبَعْلَ زَبُولَ أُخْرِجُ الشَّيَاطِين، فَأَبْنَاؤُكُم بِمَنْ يُخرِجُونَهُم؟ لِذلِكَ فَهُم أَنْفُسُهُم سَيَحْكُمُونَ عَلَيكُم
أَمَّا إِنْ كُنْتُ أَنَا بِإِصْبَعِ اللهِ أُخْرِجُ الشَّيَاطِين، فَقَدْ وَافَاكُم مَلَكُوتُ الله
عِنْدَمَا يَحْرُسُ القَوِيُّ دَارَهُ وَهُوَ بِكَامِلِ سِلاحِهِ، تَكُونُ مُقْتَنَيَاتُهُ في أَمَان
أَمَّا إِذَا فَاجَأَهُ مَنْ هُوَ أَقْوَى مِنْهُ وَغَلَبَهُ، فَإِنَّهُ يُجَرِّدُهُ مِنْ كَامِلِ سِلاحِهِ، الَّذي كَانَ يَعْتَمِدُ عَلَيْه، وَيُوَزِّعُ غَنَائِمَهُ
مَنْ لَيْسَ مَعِي فَهُوَ عَلَيَّ، وَمَنْ لا يَجْمَعُ مَعِي فَهُوَ يُبَدِّد

Holy Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Saint Matthew 13:10-17.
The disciples approached Jesus and said, “Why do you speak to them in parables?”
He said to them in reply, “Because knowledge of the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven has been granted to you, but to them it has not been granted.
To anyone who has, more will be given and he will grow rich; from anyone who has not, even what he has will be taken away.
This is why I speak to them in parables, because ‘they look but do not see and hear but do not listen or understand.'”
Isaiah’s prophecy is fulfilled in them, which says: ‘You shall indeed hear but not understand you shall indeed look but never see.
Gross is the heart of this people, they will hardly hear with their ears, they have closed their eyes, lest they see with their eyes and hear with their ears and understand with their heart and be converted, and I heal them.’
But blessed are your eyes, because they see, and your ears, because they hear.
Amen, I say to you, many prophets and righteous people longed to see what you see but did not see it, and to hear what you hear but did not hear it”.
