إنجيل القدّيس يوحنّا04/من39حتى42/مَا عُدْنَا مِنْ أَجْلِ كَلامِكِ نُؤْمِن، فَنَحْنُ قَدْ سَمِعْنَاه، ونَعْلَمُ أَنَّ هذَا هُوَ حَقًّا مُخَلِّصُ العَالَم.
“آمَنَ بِيَسُوعَ سَامِرِيُّونَ كَثِيرُونَ مِنْ أَهْلِ تِلْكَ المَدِينَة (سُوخار)، مِنْ أَجْلِ كَلامِ المَرْأَةِ (السامرية) الَّتِي كَانَتْ تَشْهَد: «إِنَّهُ قَالَ لِي كُلَّ مَا فَعَلْتُ». فَلَمَّا جَاءَ السَّامِرِيُّونَ إِلَيْه، سَأَلُوهُ أَنْ يُقِيمَ عِنْدَهُم، فَأَقَامَ يَومَين. وآمَنَ عَدَدٌ أَكْثَرُ مِنْ أَجْلِ كَلِمَتِهِ. وكَانُوا يَقُولُونَ لِلْمَرْأَة: «مَا عُدْنَا مِنْ أَجْلِ كَلامِكِ نُؤْمِن، فَنَحْنُ قَدْ سَمِعْنَاه، ونَعْلَمُ أَنَّ هذَا هُوَ حَقًّا مُخَلِّصُ العَالَم».
رسالة القدّيس بولس إلى أهل أفسس02/من17حتى22/إِذًا فَلَسْتُم بَعْدُ غُرَبَاءَ ولا نُزَلاء، بَلْ أَنْتُم أَهْلُ مَدِينَةِ القِدِّيسِينَ وأَهْلُ بَيْتِ الله
يا إِخوَتِي، لَمَّا جَاءَ المَسِيحُ بَشَّرَكُم بِالسَّلامِ أَنْتُمُ البَعِيدِين، وبَشَّرَ بالسَّلامِ القَرِيبين، لأَنَّنَا بِهِ نِلْنَا نَحْنُ الاثْنَينِ في رُوحٍ وَاحِدٍ الوُصُولَ إِلى الآب. إِذًا فَلَسْتُم بَعْدُ غُرَبَاءَ ولا نُزَلاء، بَلْ أَنْتُم أَهْلُ مَدِينَةِ القِدِّيسِينَ وأَهْلُ بَيْتِ الله، بُنِيتُمْ على أَسَاسِ الرُّسُلِ والأَنْبِيَاء، والمَسِيحُ يَسُوعُ نَفْسُهُ هُوَ حَجَرُ الزَّاوِيَة. فيهِ يَتَمَاسَكُ البِنَاءُ كُلُّه، فَيَرْتَفِعُ هَيْكَلاً مُقَدَّسًا في الرَّبّ، وفيهِ أَنْتُم أَيْضًا تُبْنَونَ معًا مَسْكِنًا للهِ في الرُّوح.
We know that this is truly the Saviour of the world.
Holy Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Saint John 04/39-42: “Many Samaritans from that city believed in Jesus because of the woman’s testimony, ‘He told me everything I have ever done.’ So when the Samaritans came to him, they asked him to stay with them; and he stayed there for two days. And many more believed because of his word. They said to the woman, ‘It is no longer because of what you said that we believe, for we have heard for ourselves, and we know that this is truly the Saviour of the world.’
So then you are no longer strangers and aliens, but you are citizens with the saints and also members of the household of God,
Letter to the Ephesians o2/17-22: “Jesus came and proclaimed peace to you who were far off and peace to those who were near; for through him both of us have access in one Spirit to the Father. So then you are no longer strangers and aliens, but you are citizens with the saints and also members of the household of God, built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, with Christ Jesus himself as the cornerstone. In him the whole structure is joined together and grows into a holy temple in the Lord; in whom you also are built together spiritually into a dwelling-place for God.
