مَا يَخْرُجُ مِنَ الفَمِ فَمِنَ القَلْبِ يَصْدُر، وهُوَ مَا يُنَجِّسُ الإِنْسَان
إنجيل القدّيس متّى15/من10حتى20/:”دَعَا يَسُوعُ الجَمْعَ وقَالَ لَهُم: «إِسْمَعُوا وٱفْهَمُوا: لَيْسَ مَا يَدْخُلُ الفَمَ يُنَجِّسُ الإِنْسَان، بَلْ مَا يَخْرُجُ مِنَ الفَمِ هُوَ مَا يُنَجِّسُ الإِنْسَان». حينَئِذٍ دَنَا مِنْهُ التَّلاميذُ وقَالُوا لَهُ: «أَتَعْلَمُ أَنَّ الفَرِّيسيِّينَ تَشَكَّكُوا حِيْنَ سَمِعُوا هذَا الكَلام؟».فَأَجَابَ وقَال: «كُلُّ غَرْسَةٍ لَمْ يَغرِسْهَا أَبي السَّماوِيُّ تُقلَع. دَعُوهُم! إِنَّهُم عُمْيَانٌ قَادَةُ عُمْيَان. وإِنْ كَانَ أَعْمَى يَقُودُ أَعْمَى، فَكِلاهُمَا يَسْقُطَانِ في حُفْرَة». فَأَجَابَ بُطْرُسُ وقَالَ لَهُ: «فَسِّرْ لَنَا هذَا المَثَل». فقَال: «وهَلْ أَنْتُم أَيْضًا إِلى الآنَ لا تَفْهَمُون؟ أَلا تُدْرِكُونَ أَنَّ كُلَّ مَا يَدْخُلُ الفَمَ يَنْزِلُ إِلى الجَوف، ثُمَّ يُدْفَعُ إِلى الخَلاء؟ أَمَّا مَا يَخْرُجُ مِنَ الفَمِ فَمِنَ القَلْبِ يَصْدُر، وهُوَ مَا يُنَجِّسُ الإِنْسَان. فَمِنَ القَلْبِ تَصْدُرُ الأَفْكَارُ الشِّرِّيرَة، والقَتْلُ، والزِّنَى، والفُجُور، والسَّرِقَة، وشَهَادَةُ الزُّور، والتَّجْدِيف.تِلْكَ هِيَ الأُمُورُ الَّتِي تُنَجِّسُ الإِنْسَان. أَمَّا الأَكْلُ بِأَيْدٍ غَيْرِ مَغْسُولَةٍ فَلا يُنَجِّسُ الإِنْسَان».

 

وكانَ ٱلشَّعْبُ يَهْتِف: «صَوتُ إِلهٍ هذَا، لا صَوتُ إِنسَان!».فَضَرَبَهُ فَجْأَةً مَلاكُ ٱلرَّبّ، لأَنَّهُ لَمْ يُعْطِ ٱلمَجْدَ لله. وٱلتَهَمَهُ ٱلدُّودُ فَمَات. أَمَّا كلِمَةُ ٱللهِ فَكَانَتْ تَنْمُو وتَكْثُر
سفر أعمال الرسل12/من12حتى24/:”يا إخوتي، لَمَّا عَرَفَ بُطرسُ ٱلمَكَان، ذَهَبَ إِلى بَيْتِ مَرْيَمَ أُمِّ يُوحَنَّا ٱلمُلَقَّبِ بِمَرْقُس. وكانَ كَثيرُونَ هُناكَ مُجتَمِعِينَ يُصَلُّون. ولَمَّا قَرَعَ ٱلبابَ ٱلخَارِجيّ، أَقبَلَتْ جارِيَةٌ ٱسْمُهَا رُودِي تَتَسَمَّع. وعَرَفَتْ صَوتَ بُطرُسَ فلَمْ تفْتَحِ ٱلبَابَ مِن فَرَحِها، بلْ أَسْرَعَتْ إِلى ٱلدَّاخِلِ وأَخْبَرَتْ أَنَّ بُطرُسَ واقِفٌ على ٱلباب. فقالُوا لَها: «مَجْنُونَةٌ أَنْتِ!». أَمَّا هيَ فأَصَرَّتْ تُؤَكِّدُ أَنَّ الأَمْرَ كَذلِكَ. فقالُوا: «إِنَّهُ مَلاكُهُ!». وكانَ بُطرُسُ لا يَزالُ يَقْرَع، ففَتَحُوا لَهُ، ورأَوْهُ فَدَهِشُوا. فأَشارَ إِلَيهِم بِيَدِهِ لِيَسْكُتُوا، وحَدَّثَهُم كَيْفَ أَخْرَجَهُ ٱلرَّبُّ مِنَ ٱلسِّجْن. وقال: «أَخْبِرُوا يَعقُوبَ وٱلإِخوَةَ بِهذَا». ثُمَّ خَرَجَ وذَهَبَ إِلى مَوضِعٍ آخَر. ولَمَّا أَقْبَلَ ٱلنَّهَار، حَدَثَتْ بَلْبَلَةٌ كبيرَةٌ بَيْنَ ٱلجُنُود : «تُرَى ماذا جَرى لِبُطرُس؟». أَمَّا هِيرُودُس، فلَمَّا طَلَبَهُ ولَمْ يَجِدْهُ، ٱسْتَجْوَبَ ٱلحُرَّاسَ وأَمَرَ أَنْ يُسَاقُوا إِلى ٱلعَذاب. ثُمَّ نَزَلَ مِنَ ٱليَهُودِيَّةِ إِلى قَيصَرِيَّة، وأَقَامَ فيها. وكانَ هِيرُودُسُ ناقِمًا عَلى أَهْلِ صُورَ وصَيدا، فمَثُلُوا مَعًا بَيْنَ يَدَيْه، وٱسْتَمَالُوا بْلاسْتُسَ حَاجِبَ ٱلمَلِك، وٱلْتَمَسُوا ٱلسَّلام؛ لأَنَّ بِلادَهُم كَانَتْ تتَمَوَّنُ مِنْ بِلادِ ٱلمَلِك. وفي ٱليَومِ ٱلمُعَيَّن، لَبِسَ هِيرُودُسُ ٱلحُلَّةَ ٱلمَلَكِيَّة، وجَلَسَ على ٱلمِنْبَرِ يَخطُبُ فيهِم. وكانَ ٱلشَّعْبُ يَهْتِف: «صَوتُ إِلهٍ هذَا، لا صَوتُ إِنسَان!».فَضَرَبَهُ فَجْأَةً مَلاكُ ٱلرَّبّ، لأَنَّهُ لَمْ يُعْطِ ٱلمَجْدَ لله. وٱلتَهَمَهُ ٱلدُّودُ فَمَات. أَمَّا كلِمَةُ ٱللهِ فَكَانَتْ تَنْمُو وتَكْثُر.”

 

What comes out of the mouth proceeds from the heart, and this is what defiles
Holy Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Saint Matthew 15/10-20/:”Then he called the crowd to him and said to them, ‘Listen and understand: it is not what goes into the mouth that defiles a person, but it is what comes out of the mouth that defiles.’ Then the disciples approached and said to him, ‘Do you know that the Pharisees took offence when they heard what you said?’He answered, ‘Every plant that my heavenly Father has not planted will be uprooted. Let them alone; they are blind guides of the blind. And if one blind person guides another, both will fall into a pit.’ But Peter said to him, ‘Explain this parable to us.’Then he said, ‘Are you also still without understanding? Do you not see that whatever goes into the mouth enters the stomach, and goes out into the sewer? But what comes out of the mouth proceeds from the heart, and this is what defiles. For out of the heart come evil intentions, murder, adultery, fornication, theft, false witness, slander. These are what defile a person, but to eat with unwashed hands does not defile.’

 

Because he had not given the glory to God, an angel of the Lord struck him down, and he was eaten by worms and died.
Acts of the Apostles 12/12-24/:”As soon as he realized this, he went to the house of Mary, the mother of John whose other name was Mark, where many had gathered and were praying. When he knocked at the outer gate, a maid named Rhoda came to answer. On recognizing Peter’s voice, she was so overjoyed that, instead of opening the gate, she ran in and announced that Peter was standing at the gate. They said to her, ‘You are out of your mind!’ But she insisted that it was so. They said, ‘It is his angel.’ Meanwhile, Peter continued knocking; and when they opened the gate, they saw him and were amazed. He motioned to them with his hand to be silent, and described for them how the Lord had brought him out of the prison. And he added, ‘Tell this to James and to the believers.’ Then he left and went to another place. When morning came, there was no small commotion among the soldiers over what had become of Peter. When Herod had searched for him and could not find him, he examined the guards and ordered them to be put to death. Then he went down from Judea to Caesarea and stayed there. Now Herod was angry with the people of Tyre and Sidon. So they came to him in a body; and after winning over Blastus, the king’s chamberlain, they asked for a reconciliation, because their country depended on the king’s country for food. On an appointed day Herod put on his royal robes, took his seat on the platform, and delivered a public address to them. The people kept shouting, ‘The voice of a god, and not of a mortal!’ And immediately, because he had not given the glory to God, an angel of the Lord struck him down, and he was eaten by worms and died. But the word of God continued to advance and gain adherents.”
