فَقَالَ لَهُم ثَانِيَةً: أَلسَّلامُ لَكُم كَمَا أَرْسَلَنِي الآب، أُرْسِلُكُم أَنَا أَيْضًا
إنجيل القدّيس يوحنّا20/من19حتى25/:”في مَسَاءِ ذلِكَ اليَوم، يَوْمِ الأَحَد، كَانَ التَّلامِيذُ مُجْتَمِعِين، والأَبْوَابُ مُغْلَقَةٌ خَوفًا مِنَ اليَهُود، فَجَاءَ يَسُوعُ ووَقَفَ في الوَسَطِ وقَالَ لَهُم: «أَلسَّلامُ لَكُم!». قَالَ هذَا وأَرَاهُم يَدَيْهِ وجَنْبَهُ. فَفَرِحَ التَّلامِيذُ حِينَ رَأَوا الرَّبّ. فَقَالَ لَهُم ثَانِيَةً: «أَلسَّلامُ لَكُم! كَمَا أَرْسَلَنِي الآب، أُرْسِلُكُم أَنَا أَيْضًا». قَالَ هذَا ونَفَخَ فِيهِم وقَالَ لَهُم: «خُذُوا الرُّوحَ القُدُس. مَنْ غَفَرْتُم خَطَايَاهُم غُفِرَتْ لَهُم، ومَنْ أَمْسَكْتُم خَطَايَاهُم أُمْسِكَتْ عَلَيْهِم». أَمَّا تُومَا، أَحَدُ الٱثْنَي عَشَر، المُلَقَّبُ بِٱلتَّوْأَم، فَلَمْ يَكُنْ مَعَهُم حِينَ جَاءَ يَسُوع. فَقَالَ لَهُ التَّلامِيذُ الآخَرُون: «لَقَدْ رَأَيْنَا الرَّبّ!». فَقَالَ لَهُم: «مَا لَمْ أَرَ أَثَرَ المَسامِيرِ في يَدَيْه، وأَضَعْ إِصْبَعِي في مَوْضِعِ المَسَامِير، وأَضَعْ يَدِي في جَنْبِهِ، لَنْ أُؤْمِن!».
إحْذَرُوا أَنْ يَخْلُبَكُم أَحَدٌ بِالفَلْسَفَة، والخِدَاعِ البَاطِلِ وَفْقَ تَقْلِيدِ البَشَر
رسالة القدّيس بولس إلى أهل قولسّي02/من08حتى15/:”يا إخوَتِي، إِحْذَرُوا أَنْ يَخْلُبَكُم أَحَدٌ بِالفَلْسَفَة، والخِدَاعِ البَاطِلِ وَفْقَ تَقْلِيدِ البَشَر، وَفْقَ أَركَانِ العَالَم، لاَ وَفْقَ المَسِيح، لأَنْ فيهِ يَسْكُنُ مِلْءُ الأُلُوهَةِ كُلُّهُ جَسَدِيًّا؛ وفيهِ أَنْتُم مُمتَلِئُون، وهُوَ رَأْسُ كُلِّ رِئَاسَةٍ وسُلْطَان؛ وفيهِ أَيضًا خُتِنْتُمْ خِتَانَةً لَمْ تَصْنَعْهَا ٱلأَيْدي، هيَ خِتَانَةُ الْمَسِيح، بِهَا خَلَعْتُمْ عَنْكُم جَسَدَ ضُعْفِكُمُ البَشَريّ، فَدُفِنْتُمْ معَ المَسِيحِ في المَعْمُودِيَّة، وفيهَا أَيْضًا أُقِمْتُمْ مَعَهُ، لأَنَّكُم آمَنْتُم بِقُدْرَةِ اللهِ الَّذي أَقَامَهُ مِن بَينِ الأَموَات. وإِذْ كُنتُم أَمْواتًا بِزَلاَّتِكُم وَبِعَدَمِ خِتَانَةِ جَسَدِكُم، أَحْيَاكُم مَعَهُ، غَافِرًا لنَا جَمِيعَ زَلاَّتِنَا، ومَاحِيًا ٱلصَّكَّ المَكتُوبَ عَلينَا وقَدْ كَانَ بِفَرائِضِهِ مُعَارِضًا لنا، فأَزالَهُ مُسَمِّرًا إِيَّاهُ على الصَّليب، وجَرَّدَ الرِّئَاسَاتِ والسَّلاطِين، وشَهَّرَهُم عَلانِيَةً، وجَرَّهُم في مَوكِبِ صَليبِهِ الظَّافِر.”
As the Father has sent me, so I send you
Holy Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Saint John 20/19-25:”When it was evening on that day, the first day of the week, and the doors of the house where the disciples had met were locked for fear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood among them and said, ‘Peace be with you.’After he said this, he showed them his hands and his side. Then the disciples rejoiced when they saw the Lord. Jesus said to them again, ‘Peace be with you. As the Father has sent me, so I send you.’When he had said this, he breathed on them and said to them, ‘Receive the Holy Spirit. If you forgive the sins of any, they are forgiven them; if you retain the sins of any, they are retained.’ But Thomas (who was called the Twin), one of the twelve, was not with them when Jesus came. So the other disciples told him, ‘We have seen the Lord.’ But he said to them, ‘Unless I see the mark of the nails in his hands, and put my finger in the mark of the nails and my hand in his side, I will not believe.”
See to it that no one takes you captive through philosophy and empty deceit
Letter to the Colossians 02/08-15:”See to it that no one takes you captive through philosophy and empty deceit, according to human tradition, according to the elemental spirits of the universe, and not according to Christ.For in him the whole fullness of deity dwells bodily, and you have come to fullness in him, who is the head of every ruler and authority. In him also you were circumcised with a spiritual circumcision, by putting off the body of the flesh in the circumcision of Christ; when you were buried with him in baptism, you were also raised with him through faith in the power of God, who raised him from the dead. And when you were dead in trespasses and the uncircumcision of your flesh, God made you alive together with him, when he forgave us all our trespasses, erasing the record that stood against us with its legal demands. He set this aside, nailing it to the cross. He disarmed the rulers and authorities and made a public example of them, triumphing over them in it.”
