عجيبة الخمسة أرغفة والسمكتان: أَخَذَ يَسُوعُ الأَرْغِفَةَ وشَكَر، ثُمَّ وزَّعَهَا عَلى الجَالِسِينَ بِقَدْرِ مَا شَاؤُوا وكَذلِكَ فَعَلَ بِٱلسَّمَكَتَين
إنجيل القدّيس يوحنّا06/من01حتى15/بَعْدَ ذلِك، عَبَرَ يَسُوعُ بَحْرَ الجَليل، أَي بُحَيْرَةَ طَبَرَيَّة.وكَانَ يَتْبَعُهُ جَمْعٌ كَثِير، لأَنَّهُم شَاهَدُوا الآيَاتِ الَّتِي كَانَ يَصْنَعُهَا لِلمَرْضَى.وصَعِدَ يَسُوعُ إِلى الجَبَل، وجَلَسَ هُنَاكَ مَعَ تَلامِيذِهِ. وكَانَ الفِصْحُ، عِيدُ اليَهُودِ، قَريبًا. ورَفَعَ يَسُوعُ عَيْنَيْه، ورَأَى جَمْعًا كَثِيراً مُقْبِلاً إِلَيْه، فَقَالَ لِفِيلِبُّس: «مِنْ أَيْنَ نَشْتَرِي خُبْزًا لِيَأْكُلَ هؤُلاء؟». قَالَ يَسُوعُ هذَا لِيَمْتَحِنَ فِيلِبُّسَ، لأَنَّهُ كَانَ يَعْلَمُ مَا سَوْفَ يَصْنَع. أَجَابَهُ فِيلِبُّس: «لا يَكْفِيهِم خُبْزٌ بِمِئَتَي دِينَار، لِيَحْصَلَ كُلٌّ مِنْهُم عَلى شَيءٍ قَلِيل». قَالَ لَهُ وَاحِدٌ مِنْ تَلامِيذِهِ، وهُوَ أَنْدرَاوُس، أَخُو سِمْعَانَ بُطْرُس: «هُنَا صَبِيٌّ مَعَهُ خَمْسَةُ أَرْغِفَةٍ مِنْ شَعِيرٍ وسَمَكَتَان، ولكِنْ مَا هذَا لِكُلِّ هؤُلاء؟». قَالَ يَسُوع: «أَجْلِسُوا النَّاس». وكَانَ في المَوضِعِ عُشْبٌ كَثِير. فَجَلَسَ الرِّجَال، وعَدَدُهُم نَحْوُ خَمْسَةِ آلاف. فَأَخَذَ يَسُوعُ الأَرْغِفَةَ وشَكَر، ثُمَّ وزَّعَهَا عَلى الجَالِسِينَ بِقَدْرِ مَا شَاؤُوا. وكَذلِكَ فَعَلَ بِٱلسَّمَكَتَين. ولَمَّا شَبِعُوا، قَالَ يَسُوعُ لِتَلامِيذِهِ: «إِجْمَعُوا مَا فَضَلَ مِنْ كِسَرٍ، لِئَلاَّ يَضِيعَ شَيء». فَجَمَعُوا مَا فَضَلَ عَنِ الآكِلينَ مِنْ كِسَرِ أَرْغِفَةِ الشَّعِيرِ الخَمْسَة، ومَلأُوا ٱثْنَتَي عَشْرَة قُفَّة. فَلَمَّا رَأَى النَّاسُ الآيَةَ الَّتِي صَنَعَهَا يَسُوع، أَخَذُوا يَقُولُون: «حَقًّا، هذَا هُوَ النَّبِيُّ الآتِي إِلى العَالَم». وعَرَفَ يَسُوعُ أَنَّهُم يَهُمُّونَ أَنْ يَأْتُوا ويَخْطَفُوه، لِيَجْعَلُوهُ مَلِكًا، فَعَادَ وٱعْتَزَلَ فِي الجَبَلِ وَحْدَهُ.

The loaves and two fish Miracle: Jesus took the loaves, and when he had given thanks, he distributed them to those who were seated; so also the fish, as much as they wanted.
John 06/01-15: “After this Jesus went to the other side of the Sea of Galilee, also called the Sea of Tiberias. A large crowd kept following him, because they saw the signs that he was doing for the sick. Jesus went up the mountain and sat down there with his disciples. Now the Passover, the festival of the Jews, was near. When he looked up and saw a large crowd coming towards him, Jesus said to Philip, ‘Where are we to buy bread for these people to eat?’He said this to test him, for he himself knew what he was going to do.Philip answered him, ‘Six months’ wages would not buy enough bread for each of them to get a little.’One of his disciples, Andrew, Simon Peter’s brother, said to him, ‘There is a boy here who has five barley loaves and two fish. But what are they among so many people?’ Jesus said, ‘Make the people sit down.’ Now there was a great deal of grass in the place; so they sat down, about five thousand in all. Then Jesus took the loaves, and when he had given thanks, he distributed them to those who were seated; so also the fish, as much as they wanted. When they were satisfied, he told his disciples, ‘Gather up the fragments left over, so that nothing may be lost.’So they gathered them up, and from the fragments of the five barley loaves, left by those who had eaten, they filled twelve baskets. When the people saw the sign that he had done, they began to say, ‘This is indeed the prophet who is to come into the world.’When Jesus realized that they were about to come and take him by force to make him king, he withdrew again to the mountain by himself.

 

بَلَى! أَنْتُم مَجْدُنَا وفَخْرُنَا
رسالة القدّيس بولس الأولى إلى أهل تسالونيقي02/من13حتى20/يا إخوَتِي، نَحْنُ أَيضًا نَشكُرُ اللهَ بغيرِ ٱنْقِطَاع، لأَنَّكُم لَمَّا تَلَقَّيْتُم كَلِمَةَ الله الَّتي سَمِعْتُمُوهَا مِنَّا، قَبِلْتُمُوهَا لا بِأَنَّهَا كَلِمَةُ بَشَر، بَلْ بِأَنَّهَا حَقًّا كَلِمَةُ الله. وإِنَّهَا لَفَاعِلَةٌ فيكُم، أَيُّهَا المُؤْمِنُون. فأَنْتُم، أَيُّهَا الإِخْوَة، قَدِ ٱقْتَدَيْتُم بِكَنَائِسِ اللهِ في المَسِيحِ يَسُوع، الَّتي هِيَ في اليَهُودِيَّة، لأَنَّكُمُ ٱحْتَمَلْتُم أَنْتُم أَيْضًا مِنْ بَنِي أُمَّتِكُم، ما ٱحْتَمَلُوهُ هُم مِنَ اليَهُود، الَّذِينَ قَتَلُوا الرَّبَّ يَسُوع، والأَنْبِيَاء، وٱضْطَهَدُونَا نَحْنُ أَيْضًا، وهُم لا يُرْضُونَ الله، ويُعادُونَ كُلَّ النَّاس، ويَمْنَعُونَنَا مِنْ أَنْ نُكَلِّمَ الأُمَمَ فَيَنَالُوا الخَلاص، وبِذلِكَ يُطَفِّحُونَ على الدَّوامِ كَيْلَ آثَامِهِم. لَقَدْ حَلَّ الغَضَبُ عَلَيْهِم إِلى النِّهَايَة. أَمَّا نَحْنُ، أَيُّهَا الإِخْوَة، فَمَا إِنْ تَيَتَّمْنَا مِنْكُم مُدَّةَ سَاعَة، بِالوَجْهِ لا بِالقَلْب، حَتَّى بَذَلْنَا جَهْدًا شَدِيدًا، وَبِشَوقٍ كَبير، لِنَرى وَجْهَكُم. لِذلِكَ أَرَدْنَا أَنْ نَأْتِيَ إِلَيكُم، أَنَا بُولُسَ على الأَخَصّ، مرَّةً وَٱثْنَتَيْن، ولكِنْ عَاقَنَا الشَّيْطَان. فَمَا هوَ رَجَاؤُنَا أَو فَرَحُنَا أَو إِكْليلُ فَخْرِنَا، في حَضْرَةِ رَبِّنَا يَسُوع، عِنْدَ مَجِيئِهِ، أَفَلَسْتُم أَنْتُم أَيْضًا؟ بَلَى! أَنْتُم مَجْدُنَا وفَخْرُنَا.

 

Yes, you are our glory and joy!
First Letter to the Thessalonians 02/13-20: “We also constantly give thanks to God for this, that when you received the word of God that you heard from us, you accepted it not as a human word but as what it really is, God’s word, which is also at work in you believers. For you, brothers and sisters, became imitators of the churches of God in Christ Jesus that are in Judea, for you suffered the same things from your own compatriots as they did from the Jews, who killed both the Lord Jesus and the prophets, and drove us out; they displease God and oppose everyone by hindering us from speaking to the Gentiles so that they may be saved. Thus they have constantly been filling up the measure of their sins; but God’s wrath has overtaken them at last. As for us, brothers and sisters, when, for a short time, we were made orphans by being separated from you in person, not in heart we longed with great eagerness to see you face to face. For we wanted to come to you certainly I, Paul, wanted to again and again but Satan blocked our way. For what is our hope or joy or crown of boasting before our Lord Jesus at his coming? Is it not you? Yes, you are our glory and joy!
