إنجيل القدّيس لوقا .10-1:19
دَخَلَ يَسُوعُ أَرِيْحا وَبَدأَ يَجْتَازُها
وإِذَا رَجُلٌ ٱسْمُهُ زَكَّا، كانَ رَئِيسًا لِلْعَشَّارِينَ وَغَنِيًّا
وكَانَ يَسْعَى لِيَرَى مَنْ هُوَ يَسُوع، فَلَمْ يَقْدِرْ بِسَبَبِ الجَمْعِ لأَنَّهُ كانَ قَصِيرَ القَامَة
فَتَقَدَّمَ مُسْرِعًا وَتَسَلَّقَ جُمَّيْزَةً لِكَي يَرَاه، لأَنَّ يَسُوعَ كانَ مُزْمِعًا أَنْ يَمُرَّ بِهَا
وَلَمَّا وَصَلَ يَسُوعُ إِلَى المَكَان، رَفَعَ نَظَرَهُ إِلَيْهِ وقَالَ لَهُ: يَا زَكَّا، أَسْرِعْ وٱنْزِلْ، فَعَلَيَّ أَنْ أُقِيمَ اليَومَ في بَيْتِكَ
فَأَسْرَعَ وَنَزَلَ وٱسْتَقْبَلَهُ في بَيْتِهِ مَسْرُورًا
وَرَأَى الجَمِيعُ ذلِكَ فَأَخَذُوا يَتَذَمَّرُونَ قَائِلين: دَخَلَ لِيَبِيتَ عِنْدَ رَجُلٍ خَاطِئ
أَمَّا زَكَّا فَوَقَفَ وَقَالَ لِلرَّبّ: يَا رَبّ، هَا أَنَا أُعْطِي نِصْفَ مُقْتَنَياتِي لِلْفُقَرَاء، وَإنْ كُنْتُ قَدْ ظَلَمْتُ أَحَدًا بِشَيء، فَإِنِّي أَرُدُّ لَهُ أَرْبَعَةَ أَضْعَاف
فقَالَ لَهُ يَسُوع: أَليَومَ صَارَ الخَلاصُ لِهذَا البَيْت، لأَنَّ هذَا الرَّجُلَ هُوَ أَيْضًا ٱبْنٌ لإِبْرَاهِيم
فإِنَّ ٱبْنَ الإِنْسَانِ جَاءَ لِيَبْحَثَ عَنِ الضَّائِعِ وَيُخَلِّصَهُ
Holy Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Saint Matthew 15:29-37.
Moving on from there Jesus walked by the Sea of Galilee, went up on the mountain, and sat down there.
Great crowds came to him, having with them the lame, the blind, the deformed, the mute, and many others. They placed them at his feet, and he cured them.
The crowds were amazed when they saw the mute speaking, the deformed made whole, the lame walking, and the blind able to see, and they glorified the God of Israel.
Jesus summoned his disciples and said, “My heart is moved with pity for the crowd, for they have been with me now for three days and have nothing to eat. I do not want to send them away hungry, for fear they may collapse on the way.”
The disciples said to him, “Where could we ever get enough bread in this deserted place to satisfy such a crowd?”
Jesus said to them, “How many loaves do you have?” “Seven,” they replied, “and a few fish.”
He ordered the crowd to sit down on the ground.
Then he took the seven loaves and the fish, gave thanks, broke the loaves, and gave them to the disciples, who in turn gave them to the crowds.
They all ate and were satisfied. They picked up the fragments left over–seven baskets full.
