كُلُّ بَشَرٍ كَالعُشْب، وكُلُّ مَجْدِهِ كَزَهْرِ العُشْب. العُشْبُ قَد يَبِسَ والزَّهرُ قَد سَقَط. أَمَّا كلِمَةُ الرَّبِّ فَتَبْقَى إِلى الأَبَد/All flesh is like grass and all its glory like the flower of grass. The grass withers, and the flower falls, but the word of the Lord endures for ever
All flesh is like grass and all its glory like the flower of grass. The grass withers, and the flower falls, but the word of the Lord endures for ever
First Letter of Peter 01/22-25/:”Now that you have purified your souls by your obedience to the truth so that you have genuine mutual love, love one another deeply from the heart. You have been born anew, not of perishable but of imperishable seed, through the living and enduring word of God. For ‘All flesh is like grass and all its glory like the flower of grass. The grass withers, and the flower falls, but the word of the Lord endures for ever.’ That word is the good news that was announced to you.”
The stone that the builders rejected has become the cornerstone; this was the Lord’s doing, and it is amazing in our eyes
Holy Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Saint Mark 12/01-12/:”Then he began to speak to them in parables. ‘A man planted a vineyard, put a fence around it, dug a pit for the wine press, and built a watch-tower; then he leased it to tenants and went to another country. When the season came, he sent a slave to the tenants to collect from them his share of the produce of the vineyard. But they seized him, and beat him, and sent him away empty-handed. And again he sent another slave to them; this one they beat over the head and insulted. Then he sent another, and that one they killed. And so it was with many others; some they beat, and others they killed. He had still one other, a beloved son. Finally he sent him to them, saying, “They will respect my son.”But those tenants said to one another, “This is the heir; come, let us kill him, and the inheritance will be ours.”So they seized him, killed him, and threw him out of the vineyard. What then will the owner of the vineyard do? He will come and destroy the tenants and give the vineyard to others. Have you not read this scripture: “The stone that the builders rejected has become the cornerstone; this was the Lord’s doing, and it is amazing in our eyes”?’When they realized that he had told this parable against them, they wanted to arrest him, but they feared the crowd. So they left him and went away.”
