فيمَا يَسوعُ يَتَكَلَّم بِهذَا، رَفَعَتِ ٱمْرَأَةٌ مِنَ الجَمْعِ صَوْتَها، وَقَالَتْ لَهُ: «طُوبَى لِلْبَطْنِ الَّذي حَمَلَكَ، وَلِلثَّدْيَينِ اللَّذَينِ رَضِعْتَهُمَا». أَمَّا يَسُوعُ فَقَال: «بَلِ ٱلطُّوبَى لِلَّذينَ يَسْمَعُونَ كَلِمَةَ اللهِ وَيَحْفَظُونَها
إنجيل القدّيس لوقا11/من27حتى32/:”فيمَا يَسوعُ يَتَكَلَّم بِهذَا، رَفَعَتِ ٱمْرَأَةٌ مِنَ الجَمْعِ صَوْتَها، وَقَالَتْ لَهُ: «طُوبَى لِلْبَطْنِ الَّذي حَمَلَكَ، وَلِلثَّدْيَينِ اللَّذَينِ رَضِعْتَهُمَا». أَمَّا يَسُوعُ فَقَال: «بَلِ ٱلطُّوبَى لِلَّذينَ يَسْمَعُونَ كَلِمَةَ اللهِ وَيَحْفَظُونَها!». وفيمَا كانَ الجُمُوعُ مُحْتَشِدِين، بَدَأَ يَسُوعُ يَقُول: «إِنَّ هذَا الجِيلَ جِيلٌ شِرِّير. إِنَّهُ يَطْلُبُ آيَة، وَلَنْ يُعْطَى آيَةً إِلاَّ آيَةَ يُونَان. فكَمَا كَانَ يُونانُ آيَةً لأَهْلِ نِينَوى، كَذلِكَ سَيَكُونُ ٱبْنُ الإِنْسَانِ لِهذَا ٱلجِيل. مَلِكَةُ الجَنُوبِ سَتَقُومُ في الدَّيْنُونَةِ مَعَ رِجَالِ هذا الجِيلِ وَتَدِينُهُم، لأَنَّها جَاءَتْ مِنْ أَقَاصِي الأَرْضِ لِتَسْمَعَ حِكْمَةَ سُلَيْمَان، وَهَا هُنَا أَعْظَمُ مِنْ سُلَيْمَان. رِجَالُ نِينَوى سَيَقُومُونَ في الدَّيْنُونَةِ مَعَ هذا الجِيلِ وَيَدِينُونَهُ، لأَنَّهُم تَابُوا بِإِنْذَارِ يُونَان، وَهَا هُنَا أَعْظَمُ مِنْ يُونَان”.

A woman in the crowd raised her voice and said to him, ‘Blessed is the womb that bore you and the breasts that nursed you!’But he said, ‘Blessed rather are those who hear the word of God and obey it
Holy Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Saint Luke 11/27-32/:”A woman in the crowd raised her voice and said to him, ‘Blessed is the womb that bore you and the breasts that nursed you!’But he said, ‘Blessed rather are those who hear the word of God and obey it!’ When the crowds were increasing, he began to say, ‘This generation is an evil generation; it asks for a sign, but no sign will be given to it except the sign of Jonah. For just as Jonah became a sign to the people of Nineveh, so the Son of Man will be to this generation. The queen of the South will rise at the judgement with the people of this generation and condemn them, because she came from the ends of the earth to listen to the wisdom of Solomon, and see, something greater than Solomon is here! The people of Nineveh will rise up at the judgement with this generation and condemn it, because they repented at the proclamation of Jonah, and see, something greater than Jonah is here!”.

أَنتَ كَاهِنٌ إِلى الأَبَد، على رُتْبَةِ مَلْكِيصَادِق
الرسالة إلى العبرانيّين07/من11حتى17/:”يا إِخوَتِي، لَو كَانَ الكَمَالُ قَدْ تَحَقَّقَ بِالكَهَنُوتِ اللاَّوِيّ، وهُوَ أَسَاسُ الشَّرِيعَةِ الَّتي أُعْطِيَتْ لِلشَّعْب، فأَيُّ حَاجَةٍ بَعْدُ إِلى أَنْ يَقُومَ كَاهِنٌ آخَرُ على «رُتْبَةِ مَلْكِيصَادِق»، ولا يُقَال «عَلى رُتْبَةِ هَارُون»؟ فمَتَى تَغَيَّرَ الكَهَنُوت، لا بُدَّ مِنْ تَغْيِيرِ الشَّرِيعَةِ أَيْضًا. فَالَّذي يُقَالُ هذَا في شَأْنِهِ، أَي المَسِيح، جَاءَ مِنْ سِبْطٍ آخَر، لَم يُلازِمْ أَحَدٌ مِنْهُ خِدْمَةَ المَذْبَح، ومِنَ الواضِحِ أَنَّ رَبَّنَا أَشْرَقَ مِن يَهُوذَا، مِنْ سِبْطٍ لَمْ يَصِفْهُ مُوسى بِشَيءٍ مِنَ الكَهَنُوت. ويَزِيدُ الأَمْرَ وُضُوحًا أَنَّ الكَاهِنَ الآخَرَ الذي يَقُومُ على مِثَالِ مَلْكِيصَادِق، لَمْ يَقُمْ وَفْقَ شَرِيعةِ وَصِيَّةٍ بَشَرِيَّة، بَلْ وَفْقَ قُوَّةِ حَيَاةٍ لا تَزُول. ويُشْهَدُ لَهُ: «أَنتَ كَاهِنٌ إِلى الأَبَد، على رُتْبَةِ مَلْكِيصَادِق!».

You are a priest for ever, according to the order of Melchizedek
Letter to the Hebrews 07/11-17/:”If perfection had been attainable through the levitical priesthood for the people received the law under this priesthood what further need would there have been to speak of another priest arising according to the order of Melchizedek, rather than one according to the order of Aaron? For when there is a change in the priesthood, there is necessarily a change in the law as well. Now the one of whom these things are spoken belonged to another tribe, from which no one has ever served at the altar. For it is evident that our Lord was descended from Judah, and in connection with that tribe Moses said nothing about priests. It is even more obvious when another priest arises, resembling Melchizedek, one who has become a priest, not through a legal requirement concerning physical descent, but through the power of an indestructible life. For it is attested of him, ‘You are a priest for ever, according to the order of Melchizedek.”
