فَجْرَ الأَحَد، قَامَ يَسُوعُ فَتَرَاءَى أَوَّلاً لِمَرْيَمَ المَجْدَلِيَّة، تِلْكَ الَّتي أَخْرَجَ مِنْهَا سَبْعَةَ شَيَاطِين
إنجيل القدّيس مرقس16/من09حتى14/:”فَجْرَ الأَحَد، قَامَ يَسُوعُ فَتَرَاءَى أَوَّلاً لِمَرْيَمَ المَجْدَلِيَّة، تِلْكَ الَّتي أَخْرَجَ مِنْهَا سَبْعَةَ شَيَاطِين. وهذِهِ ٱنْطَلَقَتْ وَبَشَّرَتْ أُولئِكَ الَّذِينَ كَانُوا مَعَهُ، وكَانُوا يَنُوحُونَ وَيَبْكُون. وَهؤُلاءِ لَمَّا سَمِعُوا أَنَّهُ حَيّ، وَأَنَّهَا أَبْصَرَتْهُ، لَمْ يُؤْمِنُوا. وبَعْدَ ذلِكَ تَرَاءَى بِشَكْلٍ آخَر، لٱثْنَينِ مِنْهُم كَانَا ذَاهِبَينِ إِلى القَرْيَة. وهذَانِ رَجَعَا وبَشَّرَا البَاقِين، ولا بِشَهَادَةِ هذَيْنِ آمَنُوا. وأَخِيرًا تَرَاءَى لِلأَحَدَ عَشَر، وَهُم يَتَنَاوَلُونَ الطَّعَام، فَبَكَّتَهُم عَلى عَدَمِ إِيْمَانِهم، وقَسَاوَةِ قُلُوبِهِم، لأَنَّهُم لَمْ يُؤْمِنُوا بِشَهَادَةِ الَّذينَ أَبْصَرُوهُ بَعْدَ أَنْ قَام.”

 

أُذَكِّرُكُم بِالإِنْجِيلِ الَّذي بَشَّرْتَكُم بِهِ، وَقَبِلْتُمُوه، ومَا زِلْتُم فِيهِ ثَابِتِين
رسالة القدّيس بولس الأولى إلى أهل قورنتس15/من01حتى11/:”يا إخوَتِي، أُذَكِّرُكُم بِالإِنْجِيلِ الَّذي بَشَّرْتَكُم بِهِ، وَقَبِلْتُمُوه، ومَا زِلْتُم فِيهِ ثَابِتِين، وبِهِ أَيْضًا أَنْتُم تَخْلُصُون، إِذَا بَقِيتُم مُتَمَسِّكِينَ بِالكَلِمَةِ الَّتي بَشَّرْتُكُم بِهَا، إِلاَّ إِذَا كُنْتُم قَدْ آمَنْتُم بَاطِلاً! فإِنِّي قَدْ سَلَّمْتُ إِلَيْكُم أَوَّلاً مَا أَنَا تَسَلَّمْتُهُ، وهوَ أَنَّ المَسِيحَ مَاتَ مِنْ أَجْلِ خَطَايَانَا، كَما جَاءَ في الكُتُب؛ وأَنَّهُ قُبِر؛ وأَنَّهُ أُقِيمَ في اليَوْمِ الثَّالِث، كَمَا جَاءَ في الكُتُب؛ وأَنَّهُ ظَهَرَ لِكِيفَا، ثُمَّ لِلٱثْنَيْ عَشَر. وبَعْدَ ذلِكَ ظَهَرَ لأَكْثَرَ مِنْ خَمْسِ مِئَةِ أَخٍ مَعًا، وأَكْثَرُهُم بَاقٍ حَتَّى الآن، وبَعْضُهُم رَقَدُوا. بَعْدَ ذلِكَ ظَهَرَ لِيَعْقُوب، ثُمَّ لِجَمِيعِ الرُّسُل. وآخِرَ الجَمِيعِ ظَهَرَ لي أَيْضًا أَنَا السِّقْطُ! فإِنِّي أَنَا أَصْغَرُ الرُّسُل، ولَسْتُ أَهْلاً أَنْ أُدْعَى رَسُولاً، لأَنِّي ٱضْطَهَدْتُ كَنِيسَةَ الله، لكِنِّي بِنِعْمَةِ اللهِ صِرْتُ مَا أَنَا عَلَيْه، وَنِعْمَتُهُ عَلَيَّ لَمْ تَكُنْ بَاطِلَة، بَلْ تَعِبْتُ أَكْثَرَ مِنْ جَمِيعِهِم، لا أَنَا بَلْ نِعْمَةُ اللهِ الَّتي هِيَ مَعِي. أَكُنْتُ أَنَا أَمْ كَانُوا هُم، فَهكَذَا نُبَشِّرُ وهكَذَا آمَنْتُم.”

After he rose early on the first day of the week, he appeared first to Mary Magdalene, from whom he had cast out seven demon
Holy Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Saint Mark 16/09-14/:”After he rose early on the first day of the week, he appeared first to Mary Magdalene, from whom he had cast out seven demons. She went out and told those who had been with him, while they were mourning and weeping. But when they heard that he was alive and had been seen by her, they would not believe it. After this he appeared in another form to two of them, as they were walking into the country. And they went back and told the rest, but they did not believe them. Later he appeared to the eleven themselves as they were sitting at the table; and he upbraided them for their lack of faith and stubbornness, because they had not believed those who saw him after he had risen.”

I would remind you of the good news that I proclaimed to you, which you in turn received
First Letter to the Corinthians 15/01-11/:”I would remind you of the good news that I proclaimed to you, which you in turn received, in which also you stand, through which also you are being saved, if you hold firmly to the message that I proclaimed to you unless you have come to believe in vain. For I handed on to you as of first importance what I in turn had received: that Christ died for our sins in accordance with the scriptures, and that he was buried, and that he was raised on the third day in accordance with the scriptures, and that he appeared to Cephas, then to the twelve. Then he appeared to more than five hundred brothers and sisters at one time, most of whom are still alive, though some have died. Then he appeared to James, then to all the apostles. Last of all, as to someone untimely born, he appeared also to me. For I am the least of the apostles, unfit to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the church of God. But by the grace of God I am what I am, and his grace towards me has not been in vain. On the contrary, I worked harder than any of them though it was not I, but the grace of God that is with me. Whether then it was I or they, so we proclaim and so you have come to believe.”
