إنجيل القدّيس لوقا01/من26حتى38/بشارة الملاك جبرائيل للسيدة العذراء
وفي الشَّهْرِ السَّادِس (بعد بشارة زكريّا)، أُرْسِلَ المَلاكُ جِبْرَائِيلُ مِنْ عِنْدِ اللهِ إِلى مَدِينَةٍ في الجَلِيلِ ٱسْمُهَا النَّاصِرَة، إِلى عَذْرَاءَ مَخْطُوبَةٍ لِرَجُلٍ مِنْ بَيْتِ دَاودَ ٱسْمُهُ يُوسُف، وٱسْمُ العَذْرَاءِ مَرْيَم. ولَمَّا دَخَلَ المَلاكُ إِلَيْهَا قَال: «أَلسَّلامُ عَلَيْكِ، يَا مَمْلُوءَةً نِعْمَة، أَلرَّبُّ مَعَكِ!». فَٱضْطَربَتْ مَرْيَمُ لِكَلامِهِ، وأَخَذَتْ تُفَكِّرُ مَا عَسَى أَنْ يَكُونَ هذَا السَّلام! فقَالَ لَهَا المَلاك: «لا تَخَافِي، يَا مَرْيَم، لأَنَّكِ وَجَدْتِ نِعْمَةً عِنْدَ الله. وهَا أَنْتِ تَحْمِلينَ، وتَلِدِينَ ٱبْنًا، وتُسَمِّينَهُ يَسُوع. وهُوَ يَكُونُ عَظِيمًا، وٱبْنَ العَليِّ يُدْعَى، ويُعْطِيهِ الرَّبُّ الإِلهُ عَرْشَ دَاوُدَ أَبِيه، فَيَمْلِكُ عَلى بَيْتِ يَعْقُوبَ إِلى الأَبَد، ولا يَكُونُ لِمُلْكِهِ نِهَايَة!». فَقالَتْ مَرْيَمُ لِلمَلاك: «كَيْفَ يَكُونُ هذَا، وأَنَا لا أَعْرِفُ رَجُلاً؟». فأَجَابَ المَلاكُ وقالَ لَهَا: «أَلرُّوحُ القُدُسُ يَحِلُّ عَلَيْكِ، وقُدْرَةُ العَلِيِّ تُظَلِّلُكِ، ولِذلِكَ فٱلقُدُّوسُ ٱلمَوْلُودُ مِنْكِ يُدْعَى ٱبْنَ ٱلله! وهَا إِنَّ إِلِيصَابَاتَ نَسِيبَتَكِ، قَدْ حَمَلَتْ هيَ أَيْضًا بٱبْنٍ في شَيْخُوخَتِها. وهذَا هُوَ الشَّهْرُ السَّادِسُ لِتِلْكَ الَّتي تُدْعَى عَاقِرًا، لأَنَّهُ لَيْسَ عَلَى ٱللهِ أَمْرٌ مُسْتَحِيل!». فقَالَتْ مَرْيَم: «هَا أَنا أَمَةُ الرَّبّ، فَلْيَكُنْ لِي بِحَسَبِ قَوْلِكَ!». وٱنْصَرَفَ مِنْ عِنْدِها المَلاك.

رسالة القدّيس بولس إلى أهل غلاطية03/من15حتى22/ولكِنَّ الكِتَابَ حَبَسَ الكُلَّ تَحْتَ الخَطِيئَة، لِكَيْمَا بالإِيْمَانِ بيَسُوعَ المَسِيحِ يُعْطَى الوَعْدُ للَّذِينَ يُؤْمِنُون.
يا إٍخوَتِي، كَبَشَرٍ أَقُول: إِنَّ الوَصِيَّة، وإِنْ كَانَتْ مِنْ إِنْسَان، إِذَا أُقِرَّتْ، لا أَحَدَ يُبْطِلُهَا أَو يَزِيدُ عَلَيْهَا. فالوُعُودُ قِيْلَتْ لإِبْراهِيمَ وَلِنَسْلِهِ. ومَا قِيْلَتْ: «ولأَنْسَالِهِ»، كأَنَّهُ لِكَثِيرِين، بَلْ «وَلِنَسْلِكَ»، كَأَنَّهُ لِوَاحِد، وهُوَ المَسِيح! فأَقُولُ هذَا: إِنَّ وَصِيَّةً سَبَقَ اللهُ فأَقَرَّهَا، لا تُلْغِيهَا شَرِيعَةٌ جَاءَتْ بَعْدَ أَرْبَعِ مِئَةٍ وثَلاثِينَ سَنَة، فَتُبْطِلُ الوَعْد. وإِذَا كَانَ المِيرَاثُ مِنَ الشَّرِيعَة، فَهُوَ لَمْ يَعُدْ مِنَ الوَعْد؛ والحَالُ أَنَّ اللهَ بِوَعْدٍ أَنْعَمَ بِالمِيرَاثِ على إِبرَاهِيم. إِذًا فَلِمَاذَا الشَّرِيعَة؟ إِنَّهَا أُضِيفَتْ بَسَبَبِ الْمَعَاصِي، حَتَّى مَجيءِ النَّسْلِ الَّذي جُعِلَ الوَعْدُ لَهُ. وقَدْ أَعْلَنَهَا مَلائِكَةٌ على يَدِ وَسِيطٍ، هُوَ مُوسى. غيرَ أَنَّ الوَاحِدَ لا وَسيطَ لَهُ، واللهُ واحِد! إِذًا فَهَلْ تَكُونُ الشَّرِيعَةُ ضِدَّ وُعُودِ الله؟ حاشَا! فَلَو أُعْطِيَتْ شَرِيعَةٌ قَادِرَةٌ أَنْ تُحْيي، لَكَانَ التَّبْرِيرُ حَقًّا بِالشَّرِيعَة. ولكِنَّ الكِتَابَ حَبَسَ الكُلَّ تَحْتَ الخَطِيئَة، لِكَيْمَا بالإِيْمَانِ بيَسُوعَ المَسِيحِ يُعْطَى الوَعْدُ للَّذِينَ يُؤْمِنُون.

The Angel Gabriel Appears To Virgin Mary
Holy Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Saint Luke 01/26-38: “In the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent by God to a town in Galilee called Nazareth, to a virgin engaged to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David. The virgin’s name was Mary. And he came to her and said, ‘Greetings, favoured one! The Lord is with you.’But she was much perplexed by his words and pondered what sort of greeting this might be. The angel said to her, ‘Do not be afraid, Mary, for you have found favour with God. And now, you will conceive in your womb and bear a son, and you will name him Jesus. He will be great, and will be called the Son of the Most High, and the Lord God will give to him the throne of his ancestor David. He will reign over the house of Jacob for ever, and of his kingdom there will be no end.’Mary said to the angel, ‘How can this be, since I am a virgin?’ The angel said to her, ‘The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you; therefore the child to be born will be holy; he will be called Son of God. And now, your relative Elizabeth in her old age has also conceived a son; and this is the sixth month for her who was said to be barren. For nothing will be impossible with God.’Then Mary said, ‘Here am I, the servant of the Lord; let it be with me according to your word.’ Then the angel departed from her.”

But the scripture has imprisoned all things under the power of sin, so that what was promised through faith in Jesus Christ might be given to those who believe.
Letter to the Galatians 03/15-22: “I give an example from daily life: once a person’s will has been ratified, no one adds to it or annuls it. Now the promises were made to Abraham and to his offspring; it does not say, ‘And to offsprings’, as of many; but it says, ‘And to your offspring’, that is, to one person, who is Christ. My point is this: the law, which came four hundred and thirty years later, does not annul a covenant previously ratified by God, so as to nullify the promise. For if the inheritance comes from the law, it no longer comes from the promise; but God granted it to Abraham through the promise. Why then the law? It was added because of transgressions, until the offspring would come to whom the promise had been made; and it was ordained through angels by a mediator. Now a mediator involves more than one party; but God is one. Is the law then opposed to the promises of God? Certainly not! For if a law had been given that could make alive, then righteousness would indeed come through the law. But the scripture has imprisoned all things under the power of sin, so that what was promised through faith in Jesus Christ might be given to those who believe.”
