إنجيل القدّيس يوحنّا 18-11:7
كَانَ اليَهُودُ يَطْلُبُونَ يَسُوعَ في العِيد، ويَقُولُون: أَيْنَ هُوَ ذَاك
وكَانَ في الجَمْعِ تَهَامُسٌ كَثِيرٌ في شَأْنِهِ. كَانَ بَعْضُهُم يَقُول: «إِنَّهُ صَالِح»، وآخَرُونَ يَقُولُون: لا، بَلْ هُوَ يُضَلِّلُ الجَمْع
ومَا كَانَ أَحَدٌ يَتَكَلَّمُ عَنْهُ عَلَنًا، خَوْفًا مِنَ اليَهُود
وفي مُنْتَصَفِ أيَّامِ العِيد، صَعِدَ يَسُوعُ إِلى الهَيْكَل، وأَخَذَ يُعَلِّم
وكَانَ اليَهُودُ يَتَعَجَّبُونَ قَائِلين: كَيْفَ يَعْرِفُ الكُتُب، وهُوَ مَا تَعَلَّم
فَأَجَابَهُم يَسُوعُ وقَال: لَيْسَ التَّعْلِيمُ تَعْلِيمي، بَلْ تَعْلِيمُ مَنْ أَرْسَلَنِي
مَنْ يَشَاءُ أَنْ يَعْمَلَ مَشِيئَةَ مَنْ أَرْسَلَنِي يَعْرِفُ هَلْ هذَا التَّعْلِيمُ هُوَ مِنْ عِنْدِ الله، أَمْ أَنِّي مِنْ تِلْقَاءِ نَفْسِي أَتَكَلَّم
مَنْ يَتَكَلَّمُ مِنْ تِلْقَاءِ نَفْسِهِ يَطْلُبُ مَجْدَ نَفْسِهِ. ومَنْ يَطْلُبُ مَجْدَ مَنْ أَرْسَلَهُ فَهُوَ صَادِقٌ لا ظُلْمَ فِيه
Holy Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Saint Matthew 21:28-32.
What is your opinion? A man had two sons. He came to the first and said, ‘Son, go out and work in the vineyard today.’
He said in reply, ‘I will not,’ but afterwards he changed his mind and went.
The man came to the other son and gave the same order. He said in reply, ‘Yes, sir,’ but did not go.
Which of the two did his father’s will?” They answered, “The first.” Jesus said to them, “Amen, I say to you, tax collectors and prostitutes are entering the kingdom of God before you.
When John came to you in the way of righteousness, you did not believe him; but tax collectors and prostitutes did. Yet even when you saw that, you did not later change your minds and believe him.
