مَنْ سَقَى كَأْسَ مَاءٍ بَارِدٍ أَحَدَ هؤُلاءِ الصِّغَارِ لأَنَّهُ تِلْمِيذ، فَٱلحَقَّ أَقُولُ لَكُم: إِنَّهُ لَنْ يَفْقِدَ أَجْرَهُ
إنجيل القدّيس متّى10/من40حتى42//11و01/:”قالَ الرَبُّ يَسوعُ لِتلاميذِهِ: «مَنْ يَقْبَلُكُم يَقْبَلُنِي، ومَنْ يَقْبَلُنِي يَقْبَلُ مَنْ أَرْسَلَني. مَنْ يَقْبَلُ نَبِيًّا لأَنَّهُ نَبِيٌّ يَنَالُ أَجْرَ نَبِيّ. ومَنْ يَقْبَلُ صِدِّيقًا لأَنَّهُ صِدِّيقٌ يَنَالُ أَجْرَ صِدِّيق. ومَنْ سَقَى كَأْسَ مَاءٍ بَارِدٍ أَحَدَ هؤُلاءِ الصِّغَارِ لأَنَّهُ تِلْمِيذ، فَٱلحَقَّ أَقُولُ لَكُم: إِنَّهُ لَنْ يَفْقِدَ أَجْرَهُ».ولَمَّا أَتَمَّ يَسُوعُ وصَايَاهُ لِتَلامِيذِهِ الٱثْنَي عَشَر، ٱنْتَقَلَ مِنْ هُنَاكَ لِيُعَلِّمَ ويَكْرِزَ في مُدُنِ اليَهُود”.

فقَرَّرَ ٱلتَّلامِيذُ في أَنْطَاكِيةَ أَنْ يُرْسِلُوا، بَحَسَبِ ما يَتَيَسَّرُ لِكُلِّ واحِدٍ مِنهُم، إِعانَةً إِلى ٱلإِخْوَةِ ٱلسَّاكِنينَ في ٱليَهُودِيَّة
سفر أعمال الرسل11/من19حتى30/:”يا إِخْوَتِي، أَمَّا الَّذِينَ تشَتَّتُوا مِن جَرَّاءِ ٱلضِّيقِ ٱلَّذِي حَصَلَ بسَبَبِ إِسْطِفانُس، فقَدِ ٱجْتازُوا إِلى فِينِيقِيَة، وقُبْرُس، وأَنْطَاكِية، وهُم لا يُكَلِّمُونَ أَحَدًا بِٱلكَلِمَةِ إِلاَّ ٱليَهُودَ فقَط. غيرَ أَنَّ بَعْضًا مِنهُم قُبْرُسِيِّينَ وقَيْرَوانِيِّينَ أَخَذُوا، لدَى قُدُومِهِم إِلى أَنْطَاكِيَة، يُخَاطِبُونَ اليُونَانِيِّينَ مُبَشِّرِينَ بِٱلرَّبِّ يَسُوع. وكَانَتْ يَدُ ٱلرَّبِّ مَعَهُم، فآمَنَ عَدَدٌ كَثير، ورَجَعُوا إِلى الرَّبّ. وبَلَغَ ٱلخَبَرُ مَسَامِعَ ٱلكَنِيسَةِ ٱلَّتِي في أُورَشَليم، فأَرْسَلُوا بَرْنَابَا إِلى أَنْطَاكِيَة. ولَمَّا وَصَلَ ورَأَى نِعْمَةَ ٱلله، فَرِحَ وأَخَذَ يَحُثُّ ٱلجَمِيعَ على ٱلثَّبَاتِ في ٱلرَّبِّ مِن صَمِيمِ ٱلقَلْب؛ لأَنَّهُ كَانَ رَجُلاً صَالِحًا، مُمْتَلِئًا مِنَ ٱلرُّوحِ ٱلقُدُسِ وٱلإِيْمَان. فَٱنْضَمَّ إِلى ٱلرَّبِّ جَمْعٌ كَبير. ثُمَّ خَرَجَ بَرْنَابَا إِلى طَرْسُوسَ يُفَتِّشُ عَنْ شَاوُل. ووَجَدَهُ فأَتَى بِهِ إِلى أَنْطَاكِيَة. وأُتيحَ لَهُمَا أَنْ يَعْمَلا مَعًا في ٱلكَنِيسَة، على مَدَى سَنَةٍ كَامِلَة، وأَن يُعَلِّمَا جَمْعًا كبيرًا. فَدُعِيَ ٱلتَّلامِيذُ في أَنْطَاكِيَة، ولأَوَّلِ مَرَّة، مَسِيحِيِّين. وفي تِلْكَ ٱلأَيَّام، نَزَلَ بعضُ ٱلأَنبِياءِ مِن أُورَشَليمَ إِلى أَنْطَاكِيَة. فَقَامَ واحِدٌ مِنهُم، ٱسْمُهُ أَغَابُس، وأَشارَ بِوَحيٍ منَ ٱلرُّوحِ أَنَّ مَجَاعَةً شَديدَةً سَتَكُونُ في ٱلمَسْكُونَةِ كُلِّها. وهذِهِ ٱلمَجَاعَةُ حَدَثَتْ في أَيَّامِ كْلُودِيُوس قَيْصَر. فقَرَّرَ ٱلتَّلامِيذُ في أَنْطَاكِيةَ أَنْ يُرْسِلُوا، بَحَسَبِ ما يَتَيَسَّرُ لِكُلِّ واحِدٍ مِنهُم، إِعانَةً إِلى ٱلإِخْوَةِ ٱلسَّاكِنينَ في ٱليَهُودِيَّة. وفَعَلُوا ذلِكَ فأَرْسَلُوا ٱلإِعانَةَ إِلى ٱلكَهَنة، على أَيْدِي بَرْنَابَا وشَاوُل.”

Whoever gives even a cup of cold water to one of these little ones in the name of a disciple truly I tell you, none of these will lose their reward
Holy Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Saint Matthew 10/40-42/11,01/:”‘Whoever welcomes you welcomes me, and whoever welcomes me welcomes the one who sent me. Whoever welcomes a prophet in the name of a prophet will receive a prophet’s reward; and whoever welcomes a righteous person in the name of a righteous person will receive the reward of the righteous; and whoever gives even a cup of cold water to one of these little ones in the name of a disciple truly I tell you, none of these will lose their reward.’Now when Jesus had finished instructing his twelve disciples, he went on from there to teach and proclaim his message in their cities.”

The disciples determined that according to their ability, each would send relief to the believers living in Judea
Acts of the Apostles 11/19-30/:”Now those who were scattered because of the persecution that took place over Stephen travelled as far as Phoenicia, Cyprus, and Antioch, and they spoke the word to no one except Jews. But among them were some men of Cyprus and Cyrene who, on coming to Antioch, spoke to the Hellenists also, proclaiming the Lord Jesus. The hand of the Lord was with them, and a great number became believers and turned to the Lord. News of this came to the ears of the church in Jerusalem, and they sent Barnabas to Antioch. When he came and saw the grace of God, he rejoiced, and he exhorted them all to remain faithful to the Lord with steadfast devotion; for he was a good man, full of the Holy Spirit and of faith. And a great many people were brought to the Lord. Then Barnabas went to Tarsus to look for Saul, and when he had found him, he brought him to Antioch. So it was that for an entire year they associated with the church and taught a great many people, and it was in Antioch that the disciples were first called ‘Christians’. At that time prophets came down from Jerusalem to Antioch. One of them named Agabus stood up and predicted by the Spirit that there would be a severe famine over all the world; and this took place during the reign of Claudius. The disciples determined that according to their ability, each would send relief to the believers living in Judea; this they did, sending it to the elders by Barnabas and Saul.”
