تَعْلَمُونَ أَنَّ الَّذينَ يُعْتَبَرُونَ رُؤَسَاءَ الأُمَمِ يَسُودُونَهُم، وَعُظَمَاءَهُم يَتَسَلَّطُونَ عَلَيْهِم. أَمَّا أَنْتُم فلَيْسَ الأَمْرُ بَيْنَكُم هكَذا، بَلْ مَنْ أَرَادَ أَنْ يَكُونَ فِيكُم عَظِيمًا، فلْيَكُنْ لَكُم خَادِمًا. 
إنجيل القدّيس مرقس10/من35حتى45/:”دَنَا مِنْ يَسُوعَ يَعْقُوبُ وَيُوحَنَّا، ٱبْنَا زَبَدَى ، وقَالا لَهُ: «يَا مُعَلِّم، نُرِيدُ أَنْ تَصْنَعَ لَنَا كُلَّ ما نَسْأَلُكَ». فقَالَ لَهُمَا: «مَاذَا تُرِيدَانِ أَنْ أَصْنَعَ لَكُمَا؟». قالا لَهُ: «أَعْطِنَا أَنْ نَجْلِسَ في مَجْدِكَ، واحِدٌ عَن يَمِينِكَ، ووَاحِدٌ عَنْ يَسَارِكَ». فقَالَ لَهُمَا يَسُوع: «إِنَّكُمَا لا تَعْلَمَانِ مَا تَطْلُبَان: هَلْ تَسْتَطِيعَانِ أَنْ تَشْرَبَا الكَأْسَ الَّتي أَشْرَبُها أَنَا؟ أَو أَنْ تَتَعَمَّدَا بِٱلمَعْمُودِيَّةِ الَّتي أَتَعَمَّدُ بِهَا أَنَا؟». قالا لَهُ: «نَسْتَطِيع». فَقَالَ لَهُمَا يَسُوع: «أَلْكَأْسُ الَّتي أَنَا أَشْرَبُها سَتَشْرَبَانِها، والمَعْمُودِيَّةُ الَّتي أَنَا أَتَعَمَّدُ بِهَا ستَتَعَمَّدَانِ بِهَا. أَمَّا الجُلُوسُ عَنْ يَمِينِي أَوْ عَنْ يَسَارِي، فلَيْسَ لِي أَنْ أَمْنَحَهُ إِلاَّ لِلَّذينَ أُعِدَّ لَهُم». ولَمَّا سَمِعَ العَشَرَةُ الآخَرُون، بَدَأُوا يَغْتَاظُونَ مِنْ يَعْقُوبَ وَيُوحَنَّا. فدَعَاهُم يَسُوعُ إِلَيْهِ وقَالَ لَهُم: «تَعْلَمُونَ أَنَّ الَّذينَ يُعْتَبَرُونَ رُؤَسَاءَ الأُمَمِ يَسُودُونَهُم، وَعُظَمَاءَهُم يَتَسَلَّطُونَ عَلَيْهِم. أَمَّا أَنْتُم فلَيْسَ الأَمْرُ بَيْنَكُم هكَذا، بَلْ مَنْ أَرَادَ أَنْ يَكُونَ فِيكُم عَظِيمًا، فلْيَكُنْ لَكُم خَادِمًا. ومَنْ أَرَادَ أَنْ يَكُونَ الأَوَّلَ بيْنَكُم، فَلْيَكُنْ عَبْدًا لِلْجَمِيع؛ لأَنَّ ٱبْنَ الإِنْسَانِ أَيْضًا لَمْ يَأْتِ لِيُخْدَم، بَلْ لِيَخْدُم، ويَبْذُلَ نَفْسَهُ فِداءً عَنْ كَثِيرين».

You know that among the Gentiles those whom they recognize as their rulers lord it over them, and their great ones are tyrants over them. But it is not so among you; but whoever wishes to become great among you must be your servant, and whoever wishes to be first among you must be slave of all. For the Son of Man came not to be served but to serve, and to give his life a ransom for many.’
Holy Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Saint Mark 10/35-45./:”James and John, the sons of Zebedee, came forward to Jesus and said to him, ‘Teacher, we want you to do for us whatever we ask of you.’And he said to them, ‘What is it you want me to do for you?’And they said to him, ‘Grant us to sit, one at your right hand and one at your left, in your glory.’But Jesus said to them, ‘You do not know what you are asking. Are you able to drink the cup that I drink, or be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with?’They replied, ‘We are able.’ Then Jesus said to them, ‘The cup that I drink you will drink; and with the baptism with which I am baptized, you will be baptized; but to sit at my right hand or at my left is not mine to grant, but it is for those for whom it has been prepared. ’When the ten heard this, they began to be angry with James and John. So Jesus called them and said to them, ‘You know that among the Gentiles those whom they recognize as their rulers lord it over them, and their great ones are tyrants over them. But it is not so among you; but whoever wishes to become great among you must be your servant, and whoever wishes to be first among you must be slave of all. For the Son of Man came not to be served but to serve, and to give his life a ransom for many.’

الحَارِثُ الَّذي يَتْعَبُ لَهُ الحَقُّ بالنَّصِيبِ الأَوَّلِ مِنَ الثَّمَر
رسالة القدّيس بولس الثانية إلى طيموتاوس02/من01حتى10/:” يا إخوَتِي، وأَنْتَ، يا ٱبْنِي، تَشَدَّدْ بِالنِّعْمَةِ الَّتي في المَسِيحِ يَسُوع. ومَا سَمِعْتَهُ مِنِّي بِحُضُورِ شُهُودٍ كَثِيرِين، إِسْتَودِعْهُ أُنَاسًا أُمَنَاء، جَدِيرِينَ هُم أَيْضًا بِأَنْ يُعَلِّمُوا غَيْرَهُم. شَارِكْنِي في ٱحْتِمَالِ المَشَقَّاتِ كَجُنْدِيٍّ صَالِحٍ لِلمَسِيحِ يَسُوع. ومَا مِنْ جُنْدِيٍّ يَنْهَمِكُ في الأُمُورِ المَعِيشِيَّة، إِذا أَرادَ أَنْ يُرْضِيَ مَنْ جَنَّدَهُ. ومَنْ يُصَارِعُ لا يَنَالُ إِكْلِيلاً إِلاَّ إِذا صَارَعَ بِحَسَبِ الأُصُول. والحَارِثُ الَّذي يَتْعَبُ لَهُ الحَقُّ بالنَّصِيبِ الأَوَّلِ مِنَ الثَّمَر. تأَمَّلْ في مَا أَقُول: والرَّبُّ سَيُعْطِيكَ فَهْمًا في كُلِّ شَيْء! تَذَكَّرْ يَسُوعَ المَسِيحَ الَّذي قَامَ مِنْ بَينِ الأَمْوَات، وهُوَ مِنْ نَسْلِ دَاوُد، بِحَسَبِ إِنْجِيلِي، الَّذي فِيهِ أَحْتَمِلُ المَشَقَّاتِ حَتَّى القُيُودَ كَمُجْرِم، لكِنَّ كَلِمَةَ اللهِ لا تُقَيَّد. لِذلِكَ أَصْبِرُ على كُلِّ شَيْءٍ مِنْ أَجْلِ المُخْتَارِين، لِيَحْصَلُوا هُم أَيْضًا على الخَلاصِ في المَسِيحِ يَسُوعَ مَعَ المَجْدِ الأَبَدِيّ.”

It is the farmer who does the work who ought to have the first share of the crops
Second Letter to Timothy 02/01-10/:”Be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus; and what you have heard from me through many witnesses entrust to faithful people who will be able to teach others as well. Share in suffering like a good soldier of Christ Jesus. No one serving in the army gets entangled in everyday affairs; the soldier’s aim is to please the enlisting officer. And in the case of an athlete, no one is crowned without competing according to the rules. It is the farmer who does the work who ought to have the first share of the crops. Think over what I say, for the Lord will give you understanding in all things. Remember Jesus Christ, raised from the dead, a descendant of David that is my gospel, for which I suffer hardship, even to the point of being chained like a criminal. But the word of God is not chained. Therefore I endure everything for the sake of the elect, so that they may also obtain the salvation that is in Christ Jesus, with eternal glory.”
