إنجيل القدّيس لوقا .23-1:22
كانَ عِيدُ الفَطِيرِ الَّذي هوَ عِيدُ الفِصْحِ يَقْتَرِب
وكانَ الأَحْبَارُ وَالكَتَبَةُ يَبْحَثُونَ كَيْفَ يَقْضُونَ عَلَى يَسُوع، لأَنَّهُم كانُوا يَخَافُونَ مِنَ الشَّعْب
ودَخَلَ الشَّيْطَانُ في يَهُوذَا المُلَقَّبِ بِالإِسْخَرْيُوطِيّ، وَهُوَ مِنْ عِدَادِ الٱثْنَي عَشَر
فَمَضَى وَفَاوَضَ الأَحْبَارَ وقَادَةَ حَرَسِ الهَيْكَلِ كَيْفَ يُسْلِمُ إِلَيْهِم يَسُوع
فَفَرِحُوا، وٱتَّفَقُوا أَنْ يُعْطُوهُ فِضَّة
فقَبِلَ، ثُمَّ رَاحَ يَتَلَمَّسُ فُرْصَةً مُؤَاتِيَة، لِيُسْلِمَهُ إِلَيْهِم بَعِيدًا عَنِ الجَمْع
وحَلَّ يَوْمُ الفَطِير، الَّذي يَجِبُ أَنْ يُذبَحَ حَمَلُ الفِصْحِ فِيه
فَأَرْسَلَ يَسُوعُ بُطْرُسَ وَيُوحَنَّا قَائِلاً: إِذْهَبَا فَأَعِدَّا لَنَا عَشَاءَ الفِصْحِ لِنَأْكُلَهُ
فقَالا لَهُ: أَيْنَ تُرِيدُ أَنْ نُعِدَّهُ؟
فقَالَ لَهُمَا: مَا إِنْ تَدْخُلا المَدِينَةَ حَتَّى يَلْقَاكُمَا رَجُلٌ يَحْمِلُ جَرَّةَ مَاء، فٱتْبَعَاهُ إِلى البَيْتِ الَّذي يَدْخُلُهُ
وَقُولا لِرَبِّ البَيْت: أَلْمُعَلِّمُ يَقُولُ لَكَ: أَيْنَ القَاعَةُ الَّتي آكُلُ فِيهَا عَشَاءَ الفِصْحِ مَعَ تَلامِيذِي؟
وَهُوَ يُريكُمَا عِلِّيَةً كَبِيرَةً مَفْرُوشَة، فَأَعِدَّاهُ هُنَاك
فذَهَبَا وَوَجَدَا كَمَا قَالَ لَهُمَا، وأَعَدَّا عَشَاءَ الفِصْح
ولَمَّا حَانَتِ السَّاعَة، ٱتَّكَأَ يَسُوعُ وَمَعَهُ الرُّسُل
فقَالَ لَهُم: شَهْوَةً ٱشْتَهَيْتُ أَنْ آكُلَ هذَا الفِصْحَ مَعَكُم قَبْلَ آلامي
فَإِنِّي أَقُولُ لَكُم: لَنْ آكُلَهُ بَعْدَ اليَومِ إِلَى أَنْ يَتِمَّ في مَلَكُوتِ الله
ثُمَّ أَخَذَ كَأْسًا، وَشَكَرَ، وَقَال: خُذُوا هذِهِ الكَأْسَ وٱقْتَسِمُوهَا بَيْنَكُم
فَإِنِّي أَقُولُ لَكُم: لَنْ أَشْرَبَ عَصِيرَ الكَرْمَة، مُنْذُ الآن، إِلى أَنْ يَأْتِيَ مَلَكُوتُ الله
ثُمَّ أَخَذَ خُبْزًا، وَشَكَرَ، وَكَسَرَ، وَنَاوَلَهُم قَائلاً: هذَا هُوَ جَسَدِي الَّذي يُبْذَلُ مِنْ أَجْلِكُم. إِصْنَعُوا هذَا لِذِكْرِي
وكَذلِكَ أَخَذَ الكَأْسَ بَعْدَ العَشَاءِ وَقَال: هذِهِ الكَأْسُ هِيَ العَهْدُ الجَدِيدُ بِدَمِي، الَّذي يُهْرَقُ مِنْ أَجْلِكُم
ولكِنْ، هَا هِيَ يَدُ الَّذي يُسْلِمُنِي مَعِي عَلى المَائِدَة
فٱبْنُ الإِنْسَانِ مَاضٍ كَمَا هُوَ مُقَرَّر؛ إِنَّمَا ٱلوَيْلُ لِذلِكَ الإِنْسَانِ الَّذي يُسْلِمُهُ
فٱبْتَدَأَ الرُّسُلُ يَتَسَاءَلُونَ فِيمَا بَيْنَهُم: مَنْ تُرَى مِنْهُم هُوَ المُزْمِعُ أَنْ يَفْعَلَ هذَا؟
Holy Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Saint John 13:1-15.
Before the feast of Passover, Jesus knew that his hour had come to pass from this world to the Father. He loved his own in the world and he loved them to the end.
The devil had already induced Judas, son of Simon the Iscariot, to hand him over. So, during supper,
fully aware that the Father had put everything into his power and that he had come from God and was returning to God,
he rose from supper and took off his outer garments. He took a towel and tied it around his waist.
Then he poured water into a basin and began to wash the disciples’ feet and dry them with the towel around his waist.
He came to Simon Peter, who said to him, “Master, are you going to wash my feet?”
Jesus answered and said to him, “What I am doing, you do not understand now, but you will understand later.”
Peter said to him, “You will never wash my feet.” Jesus answered him, “Unless I wash you, you will have no inheritance with me.”
Simon Peter said to him, “Master, then not only my feet, but my hands and head as well.”
Jesus said to him, “Whoever has bathed has no need except to have his feet washed, for he is clean all over; so you are clean, but not all.”
For he knew who would betray him; for this reason, he said, “Not all of you are clean.”
So when he had washed their feet (and) put his garments back on and reclined at table again, he said to them, “Do you realize what I have done for you?
You call me ‘teacher’ and ‘master,’ and rightly so, for indeed I am.
If I, therefore, the master and teacher, have washed your feet, you ought to wash one another’s feet.
I have given you a model to follow, so that as I have done for you, you should also do.
