سبت النور/فقَالَ لَهُم بِيلاطُس: «عِنْدَكُم حُرَّاس، إِذْهَبُوا وٱضْبُطُوا القَبْرَ كَمَا تَعْرِفُون». فَذَهَبُوا وضَبَطُوا القَبْر، فَخَتَمُوا الحَجَرَ وأَقَامُوا الحُرَّاس
إنجيل القدّيس متّى27/من62حتى66/:”في الغَد – أَيْ بَعْدَ التَّهْيِئَةِ لِلسَّبْت – ٱجْتَمَعَ الأَحْبَارُ والفَرِّيسِيُّونَ لَدَى بِيلاطُس، وقَالُوا لَهُ: «يَا سَيِّد، لَقَدْ تَذَكَّرْنَا أَنَّ ذلِكَ المُضَلِّلَ قَال، وهُوَ حَيّ: إِنِّي بَعْدَ ثَلاثَةِ أَيَّامٍ أَقُوم. فَمُرْ أَنْ يُضْبَطَ القَبْرُ إِلى اليَوْمِ الثَّالِث، لِئَلاَّ يَأْتِيَ تَلامِيذُهُ ويَسْرِقُوه، ويَقُولُوا لِلشَّعْب: إِنَّهُ قَامَ مِنْ بَينِ الأَمْوَات، فَتَكُونَ الضَّلالَةُ الأَخِيرَةُ أَكْثَرَ شَرًّا مِنَ الأُولى!». فقَالَ لَهُم بِيلاطُس: «عِنْدَكُم حُرَّاس، إِذْهَبُوا وٱضْبُطُوا القَبْرَ كَمَا تَعْرِفُون». فَذَهَبُوا وضَبَطُوا القَبْر، فَخَتَمُوا الحَجَرَ وأَقَامُوا الحُرَّاس”.

The Holy Saturday/Pilate said to them, ‘You have a guard of soldiers; go, make it as secure as you can.’So they went with the guard and made the tomb secure by sealing the stone
Holy Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Saint Matthew 27/62-66/:”The next day, that is, after the day of Preparation, the chief priests and the Pharisees gathered before Pilate and said, ‘Sir, we remember what that impostor said while he was still alive, “After three days I will rise again.”Therefore command that the tomb be made secure until the third day; otherwise his disciples may go and steal him away, and tell the people, “He has been raised from the dead”, and the last deception would be worse than the first.’Pilate said to them, ‘You have a guard of soldiers; go, make it as secure as you can.’So they went with the guard and made the tomb secure by sealing the stone.”

نَفْتَخِرُ أَيْضًا بِالضِّيقَات، عَالِمينَ أَنَّ الضِّيقَ يُوَلِّدُ الصَّبْر، والصَّبْرَ يُوَلِّدُ الٱخْتِبَار، والٱخْتِبَارَ يُوَلِّدُ الرَّجَاء، والرَّجَاءُ لا يُخَيِّب
رسالة القدّيس بولس إلى أهل رومة05/من01حتى11/”:يا إخوَتِي، بِمَا أَنَّنَا قَدْ بُرِّرْنَا بِالإِيْمَان، صَارَ لَنَا سَلامٌ مَعَ اللهِ بِرَبِّنَا يَسُوعَ المَسِيح؛ وبِهِ أَيْضًا صَارَ لَنَا الوُصُولُ بِالإِيْمَانِ إِلى هذِهِ النِّعْمَةِ الَّتي نَحْنُ فيهَا ثَابِتُون، وصَارَ لَنَا ٱفْتِخَارٌ بِرَجَاءِ مَجْدِ الله. ولَيْسَ هذَا فَحَسْب، بَلْ نَفْتَخِرُ أَيْضًا بِالضِّيقَات، عَالِمينَ أَنَّ الضِّيقَ يُوَلِّدُ الصَّبْر، والصَّبْرَ يُوَلِّدُ الٱخْتِبَار، والٱخْتِبَارَ يُوَلِّدُ الرَّجَاء، والرَّجَاءُ لا يُخَيِّب، لأَنَّ مَحَبَّةَ اللهِ أُفيضَتْ في قُلُوبِنَا بِالرُّوحِ القُدُسِ الَّذي وُهِبَ لَنَا. فلَمَّا كُنَّا بَعْدُ ضُعَفَاء، مَاتَ المَسِيحُ في الوَقْتِ المُحَدَّدِ عَنِ الكَافِرِين. ولا يَكَادُ أَحَدٌ يَمُوتُ مِنْ أَجْلِ إِنْسَانٍ بَارّ، وقَدْ يَجْرُؤُ أَحَدٌ أَنْ يَمُوتَ مِنْ أَجْلِ إِنْسَانٍ صَالِح، أَمَّا اللهُ فَأَثْبَتَ مَحَبَّتَهُ لَنَا بأَنَّنَا، حينَ كُنَّا بَعْدُ خَطَأَة، مَاتَ المَسيحُ مِنْ أَجْلِنَا. إِذًا، فَكَمْ بالأَحْرَى، وقَدْ بُرِّرْنَا الآنَ بِدَمِهِ، نَخْلُصُ بِهِ مِنَ الغَضَبِ الآتِي! فإِنْ كُنَّا، ونَحْنُ أَعْدَاء، قَدْ صَالَحَنَا اللهُ بِمَوْتِ ٱبْنِهِ، فَكَمْ بالأَحْرَى، ونَحْنُ مُصَالَحُون، نَخْلُصُ بِحَيَاتِهِ! ولَيْسَ هذَا فَحَسْب، بَلْ نَفْتَخِرُ أَيْضًا بٱللهِ بِوَاسِطَةِ رَبِّنَا يَسُوعَ المَسِيح، الَّذي بِهِ نِلْنَا الآنَ المُصَالَحَة.”

We also boast in our sufferings, knowing that suffering produces endurance, and endurance produces character, and character produces hope, and hope does not disappoint us
Letter to the Romans 05/01-11/:”Since we are justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have obtained access to this grace in which we stand; and we boast in our hope of sharing the glory of God. And not only that, but we also boast in our sufferings, knowing that suffering produces endurance, and endurance produces character, and character produces hope, and hope does not disappoint us, because God’s love has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit that has been given to us. For while we were still weak, at the right time Christ died for the ungodly. Indeed, rarely will anyone die for a righteous person though perhaps for a good person someone might actually dare to die. But God proves his love for us in that while we still were sinners Christ died for us. Much more surely then, now that we have been justified by his blood, will we be saved through him from the wrath of God. For if while we were enemies, we were reconciled to God through the death of his Son, much more surely, having been reconciled, will we be saved by his life. But more than that, we even boast in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received reconciliation.”
