قالَ الرَبُّ يَسوعُ: «جَاءَ ٱبْنُ الإِنْسَانِ لِيُخَلِّصَ مَا قَدْ هَلَك
إنجيل القدّيس متّى18/من11حتى14/:”قالَ الرَبُّ يَسوعُ: «جَاءَ ٱبْنُ الإِنْسَانِ لِيُخَلِّصَ مَا قَدْ هَلَك. مَا رَأْيُكُم؟ إِنْ كَانَ لِرَجُلٍ مِئَةُ خَرُوفٍ وضَلَّ وَاحِدٌ مِنْهَا، أَلا يَتْرُكُ التِّسْعَةَ والتِّسْعِيْنَ في الجِبَال، ويَذْهَبُ يَبْحَثُ عَنِ الخَرُوفِ الضَّالّ؟ وإِنْ وَجَدَهُ، أَلا يَفْرَحُ بِهِ ؟ أَلحقَّ أَقُولُ لَكُم: إِنَّهُ يَفْرَحُ بِهِ أَكْثَرَ مِنْ فَرَحِهِ بِالتِّسْعَةِ والتِّسْعِينَ الَّتِي لَمْ تَضِلّ ! هكَذَا، فَإِنَّ مَشِيْئَةَ أَبِيْكُمُ الَّذي في السَّمَاوَاتِ هِيَ أَلاَّ يَهْلِكَ أَحَدٌ مِنْ هؤُلاءِ الصِّغَار.”

For the Son of Man came to seek and save those who are lost
Holy Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Saint Matthew 18/11-14:”What do you think? If a shepherd has a hundred sheep, and one of them has gone astray, does he not leave the ninety-nine on the mountains and go in search of the one that went astray?And if he finds it, truly I tell you, he rejoices over it more than over the ninety-nine that never went astray. So it is not the will of your Father in heaven that one of these little ones should be lost.

فَكَثِيرُونَ مِمَّن بِهِم أَرْوَاحٌ نَجِسَة، كَانَتْ تَخْرُجُ مِنْهُمُ ٱلأَرْوَاحُ وهِيَ تَصْرُخُ بِصَوتٍ عَظِيم
سفر أعمال الرسل08/01_08:”يا إِخْوَتِي، حَدَثَ ٱضْطِهَادٌ شَدِيدٌ على ٱلكَنِيسَةِ ٱلَّتِي في أُورَشَلِيم، فتَشَتَّتَ ٱلمُؤمِنُونَ كُلُّهُم، مَا عَدَا ٱلرُّسُل، في نَواحِي ٱليَهُودِيَّةِ وٱلسَّامِرَة. ودَفَنَ رِجَالٌ أَتْقِيَاءُ إِسْطِفَانُس، وأَقَامُوا لَهُ مَنَاحَةً عَظِيمَة. وكَانَ شَاوُلُ يَسْعَى إِلى إِبَادَةِ ٱلكَنِيسَة، يَقْتَحِمُ ٱلبُيُوتَ كُلَّها ويَجُرُّ ٱلرِّجَالَ وٱلنِّسَاء، ويُسَلِّمُهُم إِلى ٱلسِّجْن. 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.”

Unclean spirits, crying with loud shrieks, came out of many who were possessed; and many others who were paralysed or lame were cured.
Acts of the Apostles 08,/1b-8/:’And Saul approved of their killing him. That day a severe persecution began against the church in Jerusalem, and all except the apostles were scattered throughout the countryside of Judea and Samaria. Devout men buried Stephen and made loud lamentation over him. But Saul was ravaging the church by entering house after house; dragging off both men and women, he committed them to prison. Now 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.
