إنجيل القدّيس لوقا .54-49:11
قالَ الرَبُّ يَسُوع: لِهذَا قَالَتْ حِكْمَةُ الله: أُرْسِلُ إِلَيْهِم أَنْبِياءَ وَرُسُلاً، فَيَقْتُلُونَ مِنْهُم وَيَضطَهِدُون
لِكَي يُطْلَبَ مِنْ هذا الجِيلِ دَمُ جَمِيعِ الأَنْبِيَاء، أَلَّذي سُفِكَ مُنْذُ إِنْشَاءِ العَالَم
مِنْ دَمِ هَابيلَ إِلى دَمِ زَكَرِيَّا، الَّذي قُتِلَ بَيْنَ المَذْبَحِ وَالهَيكَل. نَعَم، أَقُولُ لَكُم، إِنَّهُ سَيُطْلَبُ مِنْ هذَا الجِيل
أَلوَيْلُ لَكُم، يَا عُلَمَاءَ التَّوْرَاة! لأَنَّكُم حَمَلْتُم مِفْتَاحَ المَعْرِفَة، فَأَنْتُم مَا دَخَلْتُم، وَمَنَعْتُمُ الَّذينَ يَدْخُلُون
وَلَمَّا خَرَجَ يَسُوعُ مِنْ هُنَاك، بَدَأَ الكَتَبَةُ وَالفَرِّيسِيُّونَ يُضْمِرُونَ لَهُ حِقْدًا شَدِيدًا، وَيَسْتَدْرِجُونَهُ إِلى الكَلامِ عَلَى أُمُورٍ كَثِيرَة
وَيَتَرقَّبُونَهُ لِيَصْطَادُوهُ بِكَلِمَةٍ مِنْ فَمِهِ
Holy Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Saint Matthew 13:54-58.
Jesus came to his native place and taught the people in their synagogue. They were astonished and said, “Where did this man get such wisdom and mighty deeds?
Is he not the carpenter’s son? Is not his mother named Mary and his brothers James, Joseph, Simon, and Judas?
Are not his sisters all with us? Where did this man get all this?”
And they took offense at him. But Jesus said to them, “A prophet is not without honor except in his native place and in his own house.”
And he did not work many mighty deeds there because of their lack of faith.
