فٱلْتَفَتَ إِلَيْهِمَا يَسُوعُ وَأَنَّبَهُمَا. ثُمَّ ذَهَبُوا إِلَى قَرْيَةٍ أُخْرَى
إنجيل القدّيس لوقا09/من51حتى56/:”وَلَمَّا تَمَّتِ الأَيَّامُ لِيُرْفَع، صَمَّمَ يَسُوعُ بِعَزْمٍ أَنْ يَتَوَجَّهَ إِلى أُورَشَلِيم. وَأَرْسَلَ رُسُلاً أَمَامَ وَجْهِهِ، فَذَهَبُوا وَدَخَلُوا قَرْيَةً لِلسَّامِريِّين، لِكَي يُعِدُّوا لِقُدُومِهِ. فَلَمْ يَقْبَلْهُ السَّامِرِيُّون، لأَنَّهُ كَانَ مُتَوَجِّهًا إِلَى أُورَشَليم. وَلَمَّا رأَى ذلِكَ تِلمِيذَاهُ يَعْقُوبُ وَيُوحَنَّا، قَالا: «يا رَبّ، هَلْ تُرِيدُ أَنْ نَأْمُرَ بِأَنْ تَنْزِلَ نَارٌ مِنَ السَّمَاءِ وَتُفْنِيَهُم؟». فٱلْتَفَتَ إِلَيْهِمَا يَسُوعُ وَأَنَّبَهُمَا. ثُمَّ ذَهَبُوا إِلَى قَرْيَةٍ أُخْرَى.”
وسِيمُونُ نَفْسُهُ آمَنَ أَيْضًا، فٱعْتَمَدَ وصَارَ مُلازِمًا لِفِيلِبُّس، وكَانَ يَرَى مَا يَجْري مِنْ آيَاتٍ عَظِيمَةٍ وأَعْمَالٍ قَدِيرَةٍ فَتأْخُذُهُ ٱلدَّهْشَة
سفر أعمال الرسل08/من04حتى13/:”أَمَّا ٱلَّذِينَ تشَتَّتُوا فَجَالُوا يُبَشِّرُونَ بِٱلكَلِمَة. وَنَزَلَ فِيلِبُّسُ إِلى مَدِينَةٍ في ٱلسَّامِرَة، وأَخَذَ يَكْرِزُ لأَهْلِهَا بِالمَسيح. وكَانَ ٱلجُمُوعُ يُصْغُونَ بنَفْسٍ واحِدَةٍ إِلى أَقْوَالِ فِيلِبُّس، لأَنَّهُم سَمِعُوا وشَاهَدُوا ٱلآياتِ ٱلَّتِي كَانَ يَصْنَعُها. فَكَثِيرُونَ مِمَّن بِهِم أَرْوَاحٌ نَجِسَة، كَانَتْ تَخْرُجُ مِنْهُمُ ٱلأَرْوَاحُ وهِيَ تَصْرُخُ بِصَوتٍ عَظِيم. وكَثِيرُونَ مِنَ ٱلمُقْعَدِينَ وٱلعُرْجِ نَالُوا ٱلشِّفَاء. فَعَمَّ تِلْكَ ٱلمَدِينَةَ فَرَحٌ عَظِيم. وكَانَ مِن قَبْلُ في ٱلمَدِينَةِ رَجُلٌ ٱسْمُهُ سِيمُون، يُمَارِسُ ٱلسِّحْر، ويُدْهِشُ أَهْلَ ٱلسَّامِرة، ويَدَّعِي أَنَّهُ رَجُلٌ عَظِيم. فَكَانُوا يُصْغُونَ إِلَيْهِ بِأَجْمَعِهِم مِن صَغِيرِهِم إِلى كَبيرِهِم وَيَقُولُون: «هذَا هُوَ قُدْرَةُ ٱللهِ ٱلَّتِي تُدْعَى ٱلعَظِيمَة!».وكَانُوا يُصْغُونَ إِلَيه، لأَنَّهُ كَانَ مِنْ زَمَنٍ طَويلٍ قَدْ أَدْهَشَهُم بِأَعْمَالِهِ ٱلسِّحْرِيَّة. ولكِنْ لَمَّا آمَنُوا بِكَلامِ فِيلِبُّسَ وهُوَ يُبَشِّرُهُم بِمَلَكُوتِ ٱللهِ وَبٱسْمِ يَسُوعَ ٱلمَسِيح، أَخَذُوا يَعْتَمِدُونَ رِجَالاً ونِسَاءً. وسِيمُونُ نَفْسُهُ آمَنَ أَيْضًا، فٱعْتَمَدَ وصَارَ مُلازِمًا لِفِيلِبُّس، وكَانَ يَرَى مَا يَجْري مِنْ آيَاتٍ عَظِيمَةٍ وأَعْمَالٍ قَدِيرَةٍ فَتأْخُذُهُ ٱلدَّهْشَة.”
But he turned and rebuked them.Then they went on to another village
Holy Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Saint Luke 09/51-56/:”When the days drew near for Jesus to be taken up, he set his face to go to Jerusalem. And he sent messengers ahead of him. On their way they entered a village of the Samaritans to make ready for him; but they did not receive him, because his face was set towards Jerusalem. When his disciples James and John saw it, they said, ‘Lord, do you want us to command fire to come down from heaven and consume them?’But he turned and rebuked them. Then they went on to another village.”
Even Simon himself believed. After being baptized, he stayed constantly with Philip and was amazed when he saw the signs and great miracles that took place.”
Acts of the Apostles 08/04-13/:”Those who were scattered went from place to place, proclaiming the word. Philip went down to the city of Samaria and proclaimed the Messiah to them. The crowds with one accord listened eagerly to what was said by Philip, hearing and seeing the signs that he did, for unclean spirits, crying with loud shrieks, came out of many who were possessed; and many others who were paralysed or lame were cured. So there was great joy in that city. Now a certain man named Simon had previously practised magic in the city and amazed the people of Samaria, saying that he was someone great. All of them, from the least to the greatest, listened to him eagerly, saying, ‘This man is the power of God that is called Great.’ And they listened eagerly to him because for a long time he had amazed them with his magic. But when they believed Philip, who was proclaiming the good news about the kingdom of God and the name of Jesus Christ, they were baptized, both men and women. Even Simon himself believed. After being baptized, he stayed constantly with Philip and was amazed when he saw the signs and great miracles that took place.”
