ٱبْنَ الإِنْسَانِ جَاءَ لِيَبْحَثَ عَنِ الضَّائِعِ وَيُخَلِّصَهُ
إنجيل القدّيس لوقا19/من01حتى10/:”دَخَلَ يَسُوعُ أَرِيْحا وَبَدأَ يَجْتَازُها، وإِذَا رَجُلٌ ٱسْمُهُ زَكَّا، كانَ رَئِيسًا لِلْعَشَّارِينَ وَغَنِيًّا. وكَانَ يَسْعَى لِيَرَى مَنْ هُوَ يَسُوع، فَلَمْ يَقْدِرْ بِسَبَبِ الجَمْعِ لأَنَّهُ كانَ قَصِيرَ القَامَة. فَتَقَدَّمَ مُسْرِعًا وَتَسَلَّقَ جُمَّيْزَةً لِكَي يَرَاه، لأَنَّ يَسُوعَ كانَ مُزْمِعًا أَنْ يَمُرَّ بِهَا. وَلَمَّا وَصَلَ يَسُوعُ إِلَى المَكَان، رَفَعَ نَظَرَهُ إِلَيْهِ وقَالَ لَهُ: «يَا زَكَّا، أَسْرِعْ وٱنْزِلْ، فَعَلَيَّ أَنْ أُقِيمَ اليَومَ في بَيْتِكَ». فَأَسْرَعَ وَنَزَلَ وٱسْتَقْبَلَهُ في بَيْتِهِ مَسْرُورًا. وَرَأَى الجَمِيعُ ذلِكَ فَأَخَذُوا يَتَذَمَّرُونَ قَائِلين: «دَخَلَ لِيَبِيتَ عِنْدَ رَجُلٍ خَاطِئ». أَمَّا زَكَّا فَوَقَفَ وَقَالَ لِلرَّبّ: «يَا رَبّ، هَا أَنَا أُعْطِي نِصْفَ مُقْتَنَياتِي لِلْفُقَرَاء، وَإنْ كُنْتُ قَدْ ظَلَمْتُ أَحَدًا بِشَيء، فَإِنِّي أَرُدُّ لَهُ أَرْبَعَةَ أَضْعَاف». فقَالَ لَهُ يَسُوع: «أَليَومَ صَارَ الخَلاصُ لِهذَا البَيْت، لأَنَّ هذَا الرَّجُلَ هُوَ أَيْضًا ٱبْنٌ لإِبْرَاهِيم. فإِنَّ ٱبْنَ الإِنْسَانِ جَاءَ لِيَبْحَثَ عَنِ الضَّائِعِ وَيُخَلِّصَهُ».”

For the Son of Man came to seek out and to save the lost
Holy Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Saint Luke 19/01-10/:”He entered Jericho and was passing through it. A man was there named Zacchaeus; he was a chief tax-collector and was rich. He was trying to see who Jesus was, but on account of the crowd he could not, because he was short in stature. So he ran ahead and climbed a sycomore tree to see him, because he was going to pass that way. When Jesus came to the place, he looked up and said to him, ‘Zacchaeus, hurry and come down; for I must stay at your house today.’ So he hurried down and was happy to welcome him. All who saw it began to grumble and said, ‘He has gone to be the guest of one who is a sinner.’ Zacchaeus stood there and said to the Lord, ‘Look, half of my possessions, Lord, I will give to the poor; and if I have defrauded anyone of anything, I will pay back four times as much.’Then Jesus said to him, ‘Today salvation has come to this house, because he too is a son of Abraham. For the Son of Man came to seek out and to save the lost.’”

المَسِيحُ هُوَ حَجَرُ الزَّاوِيَة. فيهِ يَتَمَاسَكُ البِنَاءُ كُلُّه، فَيَرْتَفِعُ هَيْكَلاً مُقَدَّسًا في الرَّبّ، وفيهِ أَنْتُم أَيْضًا تُبْنَونَ معًا مَسْكِنًا للهِ في الرُّوح
رسالة القدّيس بولس إلى أهل أفسس02/من17حتى22/:”يا إِخوَتِي، لَمَّا جَاءَ المَسِيحُ بَشَّرَكُم بِالسَّلامِ أَنْتُمُ البَعِيدِين، وبَشَّرَ بالسَّلامِ القَرِيبين، لأَنَّنَا بِهِ نِلْنَا نَحْنُ الاثْنَينِ في رُوحٍ وَاحِدٍ الوُصُولَ إِلى الآب. إِذًا فَلَسْتُم بَعْدُ غُرَبَاءَ ولا نُزَلاء، بَلْ أَنْتُم أَهْلُ مَدِينَةِ القِدِّيسِينَ وأَهْلُ بَيْتِ الله، بُنِيتُمْ على أَسَاسِ الرُّسُلِ والأَنْبِيَاء، والمَسِيحُ يَسُوعُ نَفْسُهُ هُوَ حَجَرُ الزَّاوِيَة. فيهِ يَتَمَاسَكُ البِنَاءُ كُلُّه، فَيَرْتَفِعُ هَيْكَلاً مُقَدَّسًا في الرَّبّ، وفيهِ أَنْتُم أَيْضًا تُبْنَونَ معًا مَسْكِنًا للهِ في الرُّوح.

Christ Jesus himself is the cornerstone. In him the whole structure is joined together and grows into a holy temple in the Lord
Letter to the Ephesians 02/17-22/:”Jesus came and proclaimed peace to you who were far off and peace to those who were near; for through him both of us have access in one Spirit to the Father. So then you are no longer strangers and aliens, but you are citizens with the saints and also members of the household of God, built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, with Christ Jesus himself as the cornerstone. In him the whole structure is joined together and grows into a holy temple in the Lord; in whom you also are built together spiritually into a dwelling-place for God.”
