أَنْتَ هُوَ بُطْرُسُ، أَيِ الصَّخْرَة، وعلى هذِهِ الصَّخْرَةِ سَأَبْنِي بِيْعَتِي، وأَبْوَابُ الجَحِيْمِ لَنْ تَقْوى عَلَيْها
إنجيل القدّيس متّى16/من13حتى20/:”جَاءَ يَسُوعُ إِلى نَواحِي قَيْصَرِيَّةِ فِيْلِبُّسَ فَسَأَلَ تَلامِيْذَهُ قَائِلاً: «مَنْ يَقُولُ النَّاسُ إِنِّي أَنَا ٱبْنُ الإِنْسَان؟». فقَالُوا: «بَعْضُهُم يَقُولُون: يُوحَنَّا المَعْمَدَان؛ وآخَرُون: إِيْليَّا؛ وغَيْرُهُم: إِرْمِيَا أَو أَحَدُ الأَنْبِيَاء». قَالَ لَهُم: «وأَنْتُم مَنْ تَقُولُونَ إِنِّي أَنَا؟». فَأَجَابَ سِمْعَانُ بُطْرُسُ وقَال: أَنْتَ هُوَ المَسِيحُ ٱبْنُ اللهِ الحَيّ!». فأَجَابَ يَسُوعُ وقَالَ لَهُ: «طُوبَى لَكَ يَا سِمْعَانُ بنَ يُونَا! لأَنَّهُ لا لَحْمَ ولا دَمَ أَظْهَرَ لَكَ ذلِكَ، بَلْ أَبي الَّذي في السَّمَاوَات. وأَنَا أَيْضًا أَقُولُ لَكَ: أَنْتَ هُوَ بُطْرُسُ، أَيِ الصَّخْرَة، وعلى هذِهِ الصَّخْرَةِ سَأَبْنِي بِيْعَتِي، وأَبْوَابُ الجَحِيْمِ لَنْ تَقْوى عَلَيْها. سَأُعْطِيكَ مَفَاتيحَ مَلَكُوتِ السَّمَاوَات، فَكُلُّ مَا تَربُطُهُ على الأَرْضِ يَكُونُ مَرْبُوطًا في السَّمَاوَات، ومَا تَحُلُّهُ على الأَرْضِ يَكُونُ مَحْلُولاً في السَّمَاوَات». حينَئِذٍ أَوْصَى تَلامِيْذَهُ أَلاَّ يَقُولُوا لأَحَدٍ إِنَّهُ هُوَ المَسِيح.”

I tell you, you are Peter, and on this rock I will build my church, and the gates of Hades will not prevail against it
Holy Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Saint Matthew 16/13-20/:’When Jesus came into the district of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, ‘Who do people say that the Son of Man is?’And they said, ‘Some say John the Baptist, but others Elijah, and still others Jeremiah or one of the prophets.’He said to them, ‘But who do you say that I am?’Simon Peter answered, ‘You are the Messiah, the Son of the living God.’And Jesus answered him, ‘Blessed are you, Simon son of Jonah! For flesh and blood has not revealed this to you, but my Father in heaven. And I tell you, you are Peter, and on this rock I will build my church, and the gates of Hades will not prevail against it. I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven, and whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven.’Then he sternly ordered the disciples not to tell anyone that he was the Messiah.”

فَدَخَلَ إِلى قُدْسِ الأَقْدَاسِ مَرَّةً واحِدَة، لا بِدَمِ التُّيُوسِ والعُجُول، بَلْ بِدَمِهِ هُوَ، فَحَقَّقَ لنَا فِدَاءً أَبَدِيًّا
الرسالة إلى العبرانيّين09/من01حتى12/:”يا إِخوَتي، كانَت لِلعَهْدُ الأَوَّل أَيضًا شعَائِرُ عِبَادَة، وبَيْتُ قُدْسٍ أَرْضِيّ. فَبُنِيَ المَسْكِنُ الأَوَّل، وهُوَ الَّذي يُدْعَى «القُدْس»، وكانَ فيهِ الْمَنَارَة، والْمَائِدَة، وخُبْزُ التَّقْدِمَة، ووَرَاءَ الحِجَابِ الثَّانِي بُنِيَ المَسْكِنُ الَّذي يُدْعَى «قُدْسَ الأَقْدَاس»، ويَحْتَوِي مِجْمَرَةً ذَهَبِيَّةً لِلبَخُور، وتَابُوتَ العَهْد، مُغَشًّى كُلُّهُ بِالذَّهَب، وفيهِ جَرَّةٌ مِن ذَهَبٍ تَحْتَوِي المَنّ، وعَصَا هَارُونَ الَّتي أَفْرَخَتْ، ولَوحَا العَهْد، وفَوقَ التَّابُوتِ كَرُوبَا المَجْدِ يُظَلِّلانِ الغِشَاء: أَشْيَاءُ لا مَجَالَ الآنَ لِلكَلامِ عَنْهَا بالتَّفْصِيل. وإِذْ بُنِيَتْ تِلْكَ الأَشْياءُ على هذَا التَّرتِيب، كانَ الكَهَنَةُ يَدْخُلُونَ إِلى الْمَسْكِنِ الأَوَّلِ في كُلِّ وَقْت، لِيُتِمُّوا العِبَادَة، أَمَّا الْمَسْكِنُ الثَّانِي فكانَ عَظِيمُ الأَحْبَارِ يَدخُلُ إِلَيهِ وَحْدَهُ مَرَّةً واحِدَةً في السَّنَة، ولا يَدْخُلُ إِلَيهِ إِلاَّ ومَعَهُ دَمٌ يُقَرِّبُهُ عَنْ نَفْسِهِ وعَنْ جَهَالاتِ الشَّعْب. وبِهذَا يُوضِحُ الرُّوحُ القُدُسُ أَنَّ الطَّرِيقَ إِلى قُدْسِ الأَقْدَاسِ لَمْ يَكُنْ بَعْدُ قَدْ كُشِف، مَا دَامَ الْمَسْكِنُ الأَوَّلُ قَائِمًا. وهذَا رَمزٌ إِلى الوَقتِ الحَاضِر، وفيهِ تُقَرَّبُ تَقَادِمُ وذَبائِح، لا يُمْكِنُهَا أَنْ تَجْعَلَ مَنْ يُقَرِّبُهَا كامِلاً مِن جِهَةِ الضَّمِير. إِنَّهَا شَعَائِرُ جَسَدِيَّةٌ تَقْتَصِرُ على أَطْعِمَةٍ وأَشْرِبَة، وأَنْواعٍ شَتَّى مِنَ الٱغْتِسَال، مَفْرُوضَةٍ إِلى أَنْ يَأْتِيَ وَقْتُ الإِصْلاح. أَمَّا المَسِيحُ فَقَدْ ظَهَرَ عَظِيمَ أَحْبَارِ الخَيْرَاتِ الآتِيَة، وٱجْتَازَ المَسْكِنَ الأَعْظَمَ والأَكْمَل، غَيرَ المَصْنُوعِ بِالأَيْدِي، أَيْ لَيْسَ مِن هذِهِ الخَليقَة، فَدَخَلَ إِلى قُدْسِ الأَقْدَاسِ مَرَّةً واحِدَة، لا بِدَمِ التُّيُوسِ والعُجُول، بَلْ بِدَمِهِ هُوَ، فَحَقَّقَ لنَا فِدَاءً أَبَدِيًّا”.

Jesus entered once for all into the Holy Place, not with the blood of goats and calves, but with his own blood, thus obtaining eternal redemption
Letter to the Hebrews 09/01-12/:”Even the first covenant had regulations for worship and an earthly sanctuary. For a tent was constructed, the first one, in which were the lampstand, the table, and the bread of the Presence; this is called the Holy Place. Behind the second curtain was a tent called the Holy of Holies. In it stood the golden altar of incense and the ark of the covenant overlaid on all sides with gold, in which there were a golden urn holding the manna, and Aaron’s rod that budded, and the tablets of the covenant; above it were the cherubim of glory overshadowing the mercy-seat. Of these things we cannot speak now in detail. Such preparations having been made, the priests go continually into the first tent to carry out their ritual duties; but only the high priest goes into the second, and he but once a year, and not without taking the blood that he offers for himself and for the sins committed unintentionally by the people. By this the Holy Spirit indicates that the way into the sanctuary has not yet been disclosed as long as the first tent is still standing. This is a symbol of the present time, during which gifts and sacrifices are offered that cannot perfect the conscience of the worshipper, but deal only with food and drink and various baptisms, regulations for the body imposed until the time comes to set things right. But when Christ came as a high priest of the good things that have come, then through the greater and perfect tent (not made with hands, that is, not of this creation), he entered once for all into the Holy Place, not with the blood of goats and calves, but with his own blood, thus obtaining eternal redemption.”
