أظْهَرْتُ ٱسْمَكَ لِلنَّاسِ الَّذينَ وَهَبْتَهُم لي مِنَ العَالَم. كَانُوا لَكَ، فَوَهَبْتَهُم لي، وقَدْ حَفِظُوا كَلِمَتَكَ
إنجيل القدّيس يوحنّا17/من01حتى08/:”رَفَعَ يَسوعُ عَيْنَيْهِ إِلى السَّمَاءِ وقَال: «يَا أَبَتِ، قَدْ حَانَتِ السَّاعَة! مَجِّدِ ٱبْنَكَ لِيُمَجِّدَكَ الٱبْن، ويَهَبَ حَيَاةً أَبَدِيَّةً لِكُلِّ مَنْ وَهَبْتَهُم لَهُ، لأَنَّكَ أَوْلَيْتَهُ سُلْطَانًا على كُلِّ بَشَر. والحَيَاةُ الأَبَدِيَّةُ هِيَ أَنْ يَعْرِفُوكَ أَنْتَ الإِلهَ الوَاحِدَ الحَقّ، ويَعْرِفُوا الَّذي أَرْسَلْتَهُ، يَسُوعَ المَسِيح. أَنَا مَجَّدْتُكَ في الأَرْض، إِذْ أَتْمَمْتُ العَمَلَ الَّذي وَكَلْتَ إِليَّ أَنْ أَعْمَلَهُ. فَٱلآن، يَا أَبَتِ، مَجِّدْنِي لَدَيْكَ بِٱلمَجْدِ الَّذي كَانَ لي عِنْدَكَ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَكُونَ العَالَم. أَظْهَرْتُ ٱسْمَكَ لِلنَّاسِ الَّذينَ وَهَبْتَهُم لي مِنَ العَالَم. كَانُوا لَكَ، فَوَهَبْتَهُم لي، وقَدْ حَفِظُوا كَلِمَتَكَ. والآنَ عَرَفُوا أَنَّ كُلَّ مَا وَهَبْتَهُ لي هُوَ مِنْكَ، لأَنَّ الكَلامَ الَّذي وَهَبْتَهُ لي قَدْ وَهَبْتُهُ لَهُم، وهُمْ قَبِلُوه، وعَرَفُوا حَقًّا أَنِّي مِنْ لَدُنْكَ خَرَجْتُ، وآمَنُوا أَنَّكَ أَنْتَ أَرْسَلْتَنِي.”
هذَا هُوَ العَهْدُ الَّذي سَأُعَاهِدُهُم بِهِ، بَعْدَ تِلْكَ الأَيَّام، يَقُولُ الرَّبّ: أَنِّي أَجْعَلُ شَرائِعِي في قُلُوبِهِم، وأَكْتُبُهَا على أَذْهَانِهِم
الرسالة إلى العبرانيّين10/من11حتى18/:”يا إِخوَتي، كُلُّ كَاهِنٍ يَقِفُ كُلَّ يَومٍ خَادِمًا، ومُقَرِّبًا مِرَارًا الذَّبَائِحَ نَفْسَهَا، وهِيَ لا تَقْدِرُ البَتَّةَ أَنْ تُزِيلَ الخَطَايَا. أَمَّا المَسِيح، فَبَعْدَ أَنْ قَرَّبَ ذَبِيحةً واحِدَةً عنِ الخَطَايَا، جَلَسَ عَن يَمِينِ اللهِ إِلى الأَبَد، وهُوَ الآنَ يَنْتَظِرُ أَنْ «يُجْعَلَ أَعْدَاؤُهُ مَوْطِئًا لِقَدَمَيْه». فإِنَّهُ بِتَقْدِمَةٍ وَاحِدَةٍ جَعَلَ المُقَدَّسِينَ كَامِلِينَ إِلى الأَبَد. والرُّوحُ القُدُسُ نَفْسُهُ يَشْهَدُ لَنَا. فَبَعْدَ أَنْ قَال: «هذَا هُوَ العَهْدُ الَّذي سَأُعَاهِدُهُم بِهِ، بَعْدَ تِلْكَ الأَيَّام، يَقُولُ الرَّبّ: أَنِّي أَجْعَلُ شَرائِعِي في قُلُوبِهِم، وأَكْتُبُهَا على أَذْهَانِهِم»، أَضَافَ قائِلاً: «وَلَنْ أَذْكُرَ خَطَايَاهُم وآثامَهُم مِنْ بَعْد». فحَيْثُ تَكُونُ مَغْفِرَةُ الآثَامِ والخَطَايَا، لا تَبْقَى تَقْدِمَةٌ عنِ الخَطِيئَة!”.
They were yours, and you gave them to me, and they have kept your word
Holy Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Saint John 17/01-08/:”After Jesus had spoken these words, he looked up to heaven and said, ‘Father, the hour has come; glorify your Son so that the Son may glorify you, since you have given him authority over all people, to give eternal life to all whom you have given him. And this is eternal life, that they may know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom you have sent. I glorified you on earth by finishing the work that you gave me to do. So now, Father, glorify me in your own presence with the glory that I had in your presence before the world existed. ‘I have made your name known to those whom you gave me from the world. They were yours, and you gave them to me, and they have kept your word. Now they know that everything you have given me is from you; for the words that you gave to me I have given to them, and they have received them and know in truth that I came from you; and they have believed that you sent me.”
‘This is the covenant that I will make with them after those days, says the Lord: I will put my laws in their hearts, and I will write them on their minds
Letter to the Hebrews 10/11-18/:”Every priest stands day after day at his service, offering again and again the same sacrifices that can never take away sins. But when Christ had offered for all time a single sacrifice for sins, ‘he sat down at the right hand of God’, and since then has been waiting ‘until his enemies would be made a footstool for his feet.’For by a single offering he has perfected for all time those who are sanctified. And the Holy Spirit also testifies to us, for after saying, ‘This is the covenant that I will make with them after those days, says the Lord: I will put my laws in their hearts, and I will write them on their minds’, he also adds, ‘I will remember their sins and their lawless deeds no more.’ Where there is forgiveness of these, there is no longer any offering for sin.”
