إنجيل القدّيس متّى 28-21:15
إنْصَرَفَ يَسُوعُ إِلى نَواحِي صُورَ وصَيْدا
وإِذَا بِٱمْرَأَةٍ كَنْعَانِيَّةٍ مِنْ تِلْكَ النَّواحي خَرَجَتْ تَصْرُخُ وتَقُول: إِرْحَمْني، يَا رَبّ، يَا ٱبْنَ دَاوُد! إِنَّ ٱبْنَتِي بِهَا شَيْطَانٌ يُعَذِّبُهَا جِدًّا فَلَمْ يُجِبْهَا بِكَلِمَة. ودَنَا تَلامِيذُهُ فَأَخَذُوا يَتَوَسَّلُونَ إِلَيْهِ قَائِلين: إِصْرِفْهَا، فَإِنَّهَا تَصْرُخُ في إِثْرِنَا
فَأَجَابَ وقَال: لَمْ أُرْسَلْ إِلاَّ إِلى الخِرَافِ الضَّالَّةِ مِنْ بَيْتِ إِسْرَائِيل أَمَّا هِيَ فَأَتَتْ وسَجَدَتْ لَهُ وقَالَتْ: سَاعِدْنِي، يَا رَبّ
فَأَجَابَ وقَال: لا يَحْسُنُ أَنْ يُؤْخَذَ خُبْزُ البَنِين، ويُلْقَى إِلى جِرَاءِ الكِلاب
فقَالَتْ: نَعَم، يَا رَبّ! وجِرَاءُ الكِلابِ أَيْضًا تَأْكُلُ مِنَ الفُتَاتِ المُتَسَاقِطِ عَنْ مَائِدَةِ أَرْبَابِهَا
حِينَئِذٍ أَجَابَ يَسُوعُ وقَالَ لَهَا: أيَّتُهَا ٱلمَرْأَة، عَظِيْمٌ إِيْمَانُكِ! فَلْيَكُنْ لَكِ كَمَا تُريدِين. وَمِنْ تِلْكَ السَّاعَةِ شُفِيَتِ ٱبْنَتُهَا
Holy Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Saint Matthew 8:28-34.
When he came to the other side, to the territory of the Gadarenes, two demoniacs who were coming from the tombs met him. They were so savage that no one could travel by that road.
They cried out, “What have you to do with us, Son of God? Have you come here to torment us before the appointed time?”
Some distance away a herd of many swine was feeding.
The demons pleaded with him, “If you drive us out, send us into the herd of swine.”
And he said to them, “Go then!” They came out and entered the swine, and the whole herd rushed down the steep bank into the sea where they drowned.
The swineherds ran away, and when they came to the town they reported everything, including what had happened to the demoniacs.
Thereupon the whole town came out to meet Jesus, and when they saw him they begged him to leave their district.
