إنجيل القدّيس لوقا 36-33:11
لا أَحَدَ يَشْعَلُ سِرَاجًا، وَيَضَعُهُ في مَكانٍ مَخْفِيّ، وَلا تَحْتَ المِكْيَال، بَلْ عَلَى المنَارَة، لِيَرَى الدَّاخِلُونَ النُّور
سِرَاجُ الجَسَدِ هُوَ العَين. عِنْدَمَا تَكُونُ عَيْنُكَ سَلِيمَة، يَكُونُ جَسَدُكَ أَيْضًا كُلُّهُ نَيِّرًا. وَإِنْ كَانَتْ سَقِيمَة، فَجَسَدُكَ أَيْضًا يَكُونُ مُظْلِمًا
تَنَبَّهْ إِذًا لِئَلاَّ يَكُونَ النُّورُ الَّذي فِيكَ ظَلامًا
إِذاً، إِنْ كانَ جَسَدُكَ كَلُّهُ نَيِّرًا، وَلَيْسَ فِيهِ جِزْءٌ مُظْلِم، يِكُونُ كُلُّهُ نَيِّرًا، كَمَا لَوْ أَنَّ السِّراجَ بِضَوئِهِ يُنيرُ لَكَ
Holy Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Saint Matthew 17:22-27.
As they were gathering in Galilee, Jesus said to them, “The Son of Man is to be handed over to men,
and they will kill him, and he will be raised on the third day.” And they were overwhelmed with grief.
When they came to Capernaum, the collectors of the temple tax approached Peter and said, “Doesn’t your teacher pay the temple tax?”
Yes, he said. When he came into the house, before he had time to speak, Jesus asked him, “What is your opinion, Simon? From whom do the kings of the earth take tolls or census tax? From their subjects or from foreigners?”
When he said, “From foreigners,” Jesus said to him, “Then the subjects are exempt.
But that we may not offend them, go to the sea, drop in a hook, and take the first fish that comes up. Open its mouth and you will find a coin worth twice the temple tax. Give that to them for me and for you.”
