قالَ الرَبُّ يَسوعُ لِتلاميذِهِ: «لا تَظُنُّوا أَنِّي جِئْتُ لأُلْقِيَ عَلى الأَرْضِ سَلامًا، مَا جِئْتُ لأُلْقِيَ سَلامًا بَلْ سَيْفًا/Do not think that I have come to bring peace to the earth; I have not come to bring peace, but a sword.
Do not think that I have come to bring peace to the earth; I have not come to bring peace, but a sword.
Holy Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Saint Matthew 10/34-39:”‘Do not think that I have come to bring peace to the earth; I have not come to bring peace, but a sword. For I have come to set a man against his father, and a daughter against her mother, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law; and one’s foes will be members of one’s own household. Whoever loves father or mother more than me is not worthy of me; and whoever loves son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me; and whoever does not take up the cross and follow me is not worthy of me. Those who find their life will lose it, and those who lose their life for my sake will find it.”
The Holy Spirit fell upon all who heard the word. The circumcised believers who had come with Peter were astounded
Acts of the Apostles 10/44-48:”While Peter was still speaking, the Holy Spirit fell upon all who heard the word. The circumcised believers who had come with Peter were astounded that the gift of the Holy Spirit had been poured out even on the Gentiles, for they heard them speaking in tongues and extolling God. Then Peter said, ‘Can anyone withhold the water for baptizing these people who have received the Holy Spirit just as we have?’ So he ordered them to be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ. Then they invited him to stay for several days.”
