إنجيل القدّيس لوقا 7-1:15
كَانَ جَمِيعُ العَشَّارِينَ وَالْخَطَأَةِ يَقْتَرِبُونَ مِنْ يَسُوعَ لِيَسْمَعُوه
وكَانَ الفَرِّيسيُّونَ وَالكَتَبَةُ يَتَذَمَّرُونَ قَائِلين: هذا الرَّجُلُ يَسْتَقْبِلُ الخَطَأَةَ وَيَأْكُلُ مَعَهُم
فَقَالَ لَهُم هذَا المَثَل
أَيُّ رَجُلٍ مِنْكُم، لَهُ مِئَةُ خَرُوف، فَأَضَاعَ وَاحِدًا مِنْهَا، لا يَتْرُكُ التِّسْعَةَ وَالتِّسْعِينَ في البَرِّيَّةِ وَيَذْهَبُ وَرَاءَ الضَّائِعِ حَتَّى يَجِدَهُ؟
فَإِذَا وَجَدَهُ حَمَلَهُ عَلَى كَتِفَيْهِ فَرِحًا
وَيَعُودُ إِلى البَيْتِ فَيَدْعُو الأَصْدِقَاءَ وَالجِيرَان، وَيَقُولُ لَهُم: إِفْرَحُوا مَعِي، لأَنِّي وَجَدْتُ خَرُوفِيَ الضَّائِع
أَقُولُ لَكُم: هكذَا يَكُونُ فَرَحٌ في السَّمَاءِ بِخَاطِئٍ وَاحِدٍ يَتُوب، أَكْثَرَ مِنْ تِسْعَةٍ وَتِسْعِينَ بَارًّا، لا يَحْتَاجُونَ إِلى تَوْبَة
Holy Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Saint Matthew 23:13-22.
Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, you hypocrites. You lock the kingdom of heaven before human beings. You do not enter yourselves, nor do you allow entrance to those trying to enter.
)
Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, you hypocrites. You traverse sea and land to make one convert, and when that happens you make him a child of Gehenna twice as much as yourselves.
Woe to you, blind guides, who say, ‘If one swears by the temple, it means nothing, but if one swears by the gold of the temple, one is obligated.’
Blind fools, which is greater, the gold, or the temple that made the gold sacred?
And you say, ‘If one swears by the altar, it means nothing, but if one swears by the gift on the altar, one is obligated.’
You blind ones, which is greater, the gift, or the altar that makes the gift sacred?
One who swears by the altar swears by it and all that is upon it;
one who swears by the temple swears by it and by him who dwells in it;
one who swears by heaven swears by the throne of God and by him who is seated on it.
