أحد الشعانين ودخول يسوع إلى أورشليم
إنجيل القدّيس يوحنّا12/من12حتى22/لَمَّا سَمِعَ الجَمْعُ الكَثِير، الَّذي أَتَى إِلى العِيد، أَنَّ يَسُوعَ آتٍ إِلى أُورَشَليم، حَمَلُوا سَعَفَ النَّخْلِ، وخَرَجُوا إِلى مُلاقَاتِهِ وهُمْ يَصْرُخُون: «هُوشَعْنَا! مُبَارَكٌ الآتِي بِٱسْمِ الرَّبّ، مَلِكُ إِسرائِيل». ووَجَدَ يَسُوعُ جَحْشًا فَرَكِبَ عَلَيْه، كَمَا هُوَ مَكْتُوب: «لا تَخَافِي، يَا ٱبْنَةَ صِهْيُون، هُوَذَا مَلِكُكِ يَأْتِي رَاكِبًا عَلى جَحْشٍ ٱبْنِ أَتَان». ومَا فَهِمَ تَلامِيذُهُ ذلِكَ، أَوَّلَ الأَمْر، ولكِنَّهُم تَذَكَّرُوا، حِينَ مُجِّدَ يَسُوع، أَنَّ ذلِكَ كُتِبَ عَنْهُ، وأَنَّهُم صَنَعُوهُ لَهُ. والجَمْعُ الَّذي كَانَ مَعَ يَسُوع، حِينَ دَعَا لَعَازَرَ مِنَ القَبْرِ وأَقَامَهُ مِنْ بَيْنِ الأَمْوَات، كَانَ يَشْهَدُ لَهُ. مِنْ أَجْلِ هذَا أَيْضًا لاقَاهُ الجَمْع، لأَنَّهُم سَمِعُوا أَنَّهُ صَنَعَ تِلْكَ الآيَة. فَقَالَ الفَرِّيسِيُّونَ بَعْضُهُم لِبَعْض: «أُنْظُرُوا: إِنَّكُم لا تَنْفَعُونَ شَيْئًا! هَا هُوَ العَالَمُ قَدْ ذَهَبَ ورَاءَهُ!». وكَانَ بَينَ الصَّاعِدِينَ لِيَسْجُدُوا في العِيد، بَعْضُ اليُونَانِيِّين. فَدَنَا هؤُلاءِ مِنْ فِيلِبُّسَ الَّذي مِنْ بَيْتَ صَيْدَا الجَلِيل، وسَأَلُوهُ قَائِلين: «يَا سَيِّد، نُرِيدُ أَنْ نَرَى يَسُوع».فَجَاءَ فِيلِبُّسُ وقَالَ لأَنْدرَاوُس، وجَاءَ أَنْدرَاوُسُ وفِيلِبُّسُ وقَالا لِيَسُوع.

Jesus’ Triumphal Entry To Jerusalem/Palm Sunday
John 12/12-19/The next day a great multitude that had come to the feast, when they heard that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem, took branches of palm trees and went out to meet Him, and cried out: “Hosanna! ‘Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord!’The King of Israel!”Then Jesus, when He had found a young donkey, sat on it; as it is written: “Fear not, daughter of Zion; Behold, your King is coming, Sitting on a donkey’s colt.”His disciples did not understand these things at first; but when Jesus was glorified, then they remembered that these things were written about Him and that they had done these things to Him. Therefore the people, who were with Him when He called Lazarus out of his tomb and raised him from the dead, bore witness. For this reason the people also met Him, because they heard that He had done this sign. The Pharisees therefore said among themselves, “You see that you are accomplishing nothing. Look, the world has gone after Him!”

لَوْ كُنْتُ أَنَا أَشْهَدُ لِنَفْسِي لَمَا كَانَتْ شَهَادَتِي مَقْبُولَة. ولكِنَّ آخَرَ يَشْهَدُ لِي، وأَنَا أَعْلَمُ أَنَّ الشَّهَادَةَ الَّتِي يَشْهَدُهَا لِي صَادِقَة
إنجيل القدّيس يوحنّا05/من31حتى38/”قالَ الربُّ يَسوعُ (لليهود): «لَوْ كُنْتُ أَنَا أَشْهَدُ لِنَفْسِي لَمَا كَانَتْ شَهَادَتِي مَقْبُولَة. ولكِنَّ آخَرَ يَشْهَدُ لِي، وأَنَا أَعْلَمُ أَنَّ الشَّهَادَةَ الَّتِي يَشْهَدُهَا لِي صَادِقَة. أَنْتُم أَرْسَلْتُم إِلى يُوحَنَّا فَشَهِدَ لِلحَقّ. وأَنَا لا أَسْتَمِدُّ الشَّهَادَةَ مِنْ إِنْسَان، ولكِنْ مِنْ أَجْلِ خَلاصِكُم أَقُولُ هذَا: كَانَ يُوحَنَّا السِّرَاجَ المُوقَدَ السَّاطِع، وأَنْتُم شِئْتُم أَنْ تَبْتَهِجُوا بِنُورِهِ سَاعَة. أَمَّا أَنَا فَلِي شَهَادَةٌ أَعْظَمُ مِنْ شَهَادَةِ يُوحَنَّا: أَلأَعْمَالُ الَّتِي أَعْطَانِي الآبُ أَنْ أُتَمِّمَهَا، تِلْكَ الأَعْمَالُ نَفْسُهَا الَّتِي أَعْمَلُهَا، تَشْهَدُ أَنَّ الآبَ أَرْسَلَنِي. والآبُ الَّذِي أَرْسَلَنِي هُوَ شَهِدَ لِي. وأَنْتُم مَا سَمِعْتُم يَومًا صَوتَهُ، ولا رَأَيْتُم مُحَيَّاه، ولا جَعَلْتُم كَلِمَتَهُ رَاسِخَةً فِيكُم، لأَنَّكُم لا تُؤمِنُونَ بِمَنْ أَرْسَلَهُ الآب”.

If I testify about myself, my testimony is not true. There is another who testifies on my behalf, and I know that his testimony to me is true
Holy Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Saint John 05/31-38: “‘If I testify about myself, my testimony is not true. There is another who testifies on my behalf, and I know that his testimony to me is true. You sent messengers to John, and he testified to the truth. Not that I accept such human testimony, but I say these things so that you may be saved. He was a burning and shining lamp, and you were willing to rejoice for a while in his light. But I have a testimony greater than John’s. The works that the Father has given me to complete, the very works that I am doing, testify on my behalf that the Father has sent me. And the Father who sent me has himself testified on my behalf. You have never heard his voice or seen his form, and you do not have his word abiding in you, because you do not believe him whom he has sent.”
