إنجيل القدّيس لوقا .10-7:17
قَالَ الرَبُّ يَسُوعُ: مَنْ مِنْكُم لَهُ عَبْدٌ يَفْلَحُ الأَرْضَ أَوْ يَرْعَى القَطِيع، إِذا عَادَ مِنَ الحَقْل، يَقُولُ لَهُ: أَسْرِعْ وٱجْلِسْ لِلطَّعَام؟
أَلا يَقُولُ لَهُ بِالأَحْرَى: أَعِدَّ لي شَيْئًا لأَتَعَشَّى، وَشُدَّ وَسْطَكَ وٱخْدُمْني حَتَّى آكُلَ وَأَشْرَب
وَبَعْدَ ذلِكَ تَأْكُلُ أَنْتَ وَتَشْرَب. هَلْ عَلَيهِ أَنْ يَشْكُرَ العَبْدَ لأَنَّهُ فَعَلَ ما أُمِرَ بِهِ؟
وَهكذَا أَنْتُم إِذَا فَعَلْتُم كُلَّ ما أُمِرْتُمْ بِهِ فَقُولُوا: إِنَّنَا عَبِيدٌ لا نَفْعَ مِنَّا، فَقَد فَعَلْنا مَا كانَ يَجِبُ عَلَينا أَنْ نَفْعَل
Holy Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Saint Mark 4:21-25.
Jesus said to his disciples, “Is a lamp brought in to be placed under a bushel basket or under a bed, and not to be placed on a lampstand?
For there is nothing hidden except to be made visible; nothing is secret except to come to light.
Anyone who has ears to hear ought to hear.”
He also told them, “Take care what you hear. The measure with which you measure will be measured out to you, and still more will be given to you.
To the one who has, more will be given; from the one who has not, even what he has will be taken away.”
