مَنْ يَسْمَعُ لَكُم يَسْمَعُ لي، وَمَنْ يَرْفُضُكُم يَرْفُضُنِي، وَمَنْ يَرْفُضُنِي يَرْفُضُ الَّذي أَرْسَلَني/Whoever listens to you listens to me, and whoever rejects you rejects me, and whoever rejects me rejects the one who sent me

 مَنْ يَسْمَعُ لَكُم يَسْمَعُ لي، وَمَنْ يَرْفُضُكُم يَرْفُضُنِي، وَمَنْ يَرْفُضُنِي يَرْفُضُ الَّذي أَرْسَلَنِي
إنجيل القدّيس لوقا10/من13حتى16/:”قالَ الرَبُّ يَسوعُ : «أَلوَيلُ لَكِ، يا كُورَزِين! ٱلويلُ لَكِ، يا بَيْتَ صَيْدا! لأَنَّهُ لَو جَرَى في صُورَ وَصَيْدا مَا جَرَى فِيكُمَا مِنْ أَعْمَالٍ قَدِيرَة، لَتَابَتَا مِنْ زَمَانٍ وَجَلَسَتا في المِسْحِ وَالرَّمَاد. ولكِنَّ صُورَ وَصَيْدا سَيَكُونُ مَصِيرُهُمَا في الدَّيْنُونَةِ أَخَفَّ وَطْأَةً مِنْ مَصيرِكُمَا. وَأَنْتِ يَا كَفَرْناحُوم، أَلَنْ تَرْتَفِعي إِلى السَّمَاء؟ فَإِلى الجَحِيمِ سَتَهْبِطِين! مَنْ يَسْمَعُ لَكُم يَسْمَعُ لي، وَمَنْ يَرْفُضُكُم يَرْفُضُنِي، وَمَنْ يَرْفُضُنِي يَرْفُضُ الَّذي أَرْسَلَنِي».

Whoever listens to you listens to me, and whoever rejects you rejects me, and whoever rejects me rejects the one who sent me.’”
Holy Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Saint Luke 10/13-16:”‘Woe to you, Chorazin! Woe to you, Bethsaida! For if the deeds of power done in you had been done in Tyre and Sidon, they would have repented long ago, sitting in sackcloth and ashes. But at the judgement it will be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon than for you. And you, Capernaum, will you be exalted to heaven? No, you will be brought down to Hades.‘Whoever listens to you listens to me, and whoever rejects you rejects me, and whoever rejects me rejects the one who sent me.’”

فقَالَ بولس بِصَوتٍ عظِيم: قُمْ وٱنْتَصِبْ على رِجلَيْك فوَثَبَ ٱلرَّجُلُ وصارَ يَمْشِي
سفر أعمال الرسل14/من08حتى14/:”يا إِخْوَتِي، كانَ في لِسْترَةَ رَجُلٌ سَقِيمُ ٱلرِّجْلَيْن، أَعرَجُ مِن بَطْنِ أُمِّهِ، لَم يَمْشِ يَومًا في حيَاتِهِ. وسَمِعَ بُولُسَ يتَكَلَّم، فتَفَرَّسَ فيهِ بُولُس، ورأَى أَنَّ لَهُ إِيْمَانًا لِكَي يَخْلُص. فقَالَ بِصَوتٍ عظِيم: « قُمْ وٱنْتَصِبْ على رِجلَيْك !». فوَثَبَ ٱلرَّجُلُ وصارَ يَمْشِي. ولَمَّا رَأَى ٱلجُمُوعُ ما فَعَلَ بُولُس، رَفَعُوا صَوتَهُم بِلُغَةِ لِيقُونِيَةَ قائِلِين: « لقَدْ نَزَلَتْ إِلَينا ٱلآلِهَةُ بِشِبهِ ٱلبَشَر!». وكانُوا يَدْعُونَ بَرْنَابَا زُوش، وبُولُسَ هِرْمِس، لأَنَّهُ هُوَ ٱلَّذِي كانَ يتَوَلَّى ٱلكَلام. وكَانَ على مَدْخَلِ ٱلمَدِينَةِ مَعْبَدٌ لِلإِلهِ زُوش، فَجَاءَ كَاهِنُهُ إِلى ٱلأَبْواب، بِثِيرانٍ وأَكالِيلَ مِنْ زَهْر، يُريدُ أَنْ يُقَدِّمَ مَعَ ٱلجُمُوعِ ذَبيحَةً لِبَرْنَابَا وبُولُس. فلَمَّا سَمِعَ الرَّسُولانِ بِذلِكَ، مَزَّقَا ثِيَابَهُمَا وأَسْرَعَا إِلى ٱلجَمْعِ يَصيحَانِ قائِلَيْن: « أَيُّهَا ٱلرِّجَال، لِمَاذَا تَفْعَلُونَ هذَا؟ نَحْنُ أَيْضًا بَشَرٌ ضُعفَاءُ مِثلُكُم. ونُبَشِّرُكُم أَنْ تَرْجِعُوا عَنْ هذِهِ ٱلأَبَاطِيلِ إِلى ٱللهِ ٱلحَيّ، ٱلَّذِي صَنَعَ ٱلسَّماءَ وٱلأَرضَ وٱلبَحرَ وكُلَّ ما فيها. وقَدْ تَرَكَ جميعَ ٱلأُمَم، في ٱلأَجْيَالِ ٱلغَابِرَة، يَسْلُكُونَ في طُرُقِهِم، مَعَ أَنَّهُ لَمْ يَدَعْ نَفْسَهُ بِغَيرِ شُهُود. فهُوَ مَا زَالَ يُنْعِمُ علَيْكُم بِٱلخَيْر، ويَرْزُقُكُم مِنَ ٱلسَّمَاءِ أَمْطَارًا وفُصُولاً مُثْمِرَة، ويُشْبِعُ قُلُوبَكُم طَعَامًا وسُرُورًا». بِهذَا ٱلكَلام، وبَعْدَ جَهْدٍ، تَمَكَّنَا مِنْ تَهْدِئَةِ ٱلجُمُوعِ كَي لا يُقَدِّمُوا لَهُمَا ذَبيحَة.”

Peter said in a loud voice, ‘Stand upright on your feet.’ And the man sprang up and began to walk.
Acts of the Apostles 14/,08-18/:”In Lystra there was a man sitting who could not use his feet and had never walked, for he had been crippled from birth. He listened to Paul as he was speaking. And Paul, looking at him intently and seeing that he had faith to be healed, said in a loud voice, ‘Stand upright on your feet.’ And the man sprang up and began to walk. When the crowds saw what Paul had done, they shouted in the Lycaonian language, ‘The gods have come down to us in human form!’Barnabas they called Zeus, and Paul they called Hermes, because he was the chief speaker. The priest of Zeus, whose temple was just outside the city, brought oxen and garlands to the gates; he and the crowds wanted to offer sacrifice. When the apostles Barnabas and Paul heard of it, they tore their clothes and rushed out into the crowd, shouting, ‘Friends, why are you doing this? We are mortals just like you, and we bring you good news, that you should turn from these worthless things to the living God, who made the heaven and the earth and the sea and all that is in them. In past generations he allowed all the nations to follow their own ways; yet he has not left himself without a witness in doing good giving you rains from heaven and fruitful seasons, and filling you with food and your hearts with joy.’Even with these words, they scarcely restrained the crowds from offering sacrifice to them.”
