رسالة القدّيس بولس إلى أهل رومة11/من13حتى24/“يا إِخوَتِي، لَكُمْ أَقُولُ، أَيُّهَا الأُمَم: مَا دُمْتُ أَنَا رَسُولاً لِلأُمَم، فإِنِّي أُمَجِّدُ خِدْمَتِي، لَعَلِّي أُثِيرُ غَيْرَةَ بَنِي قَوْمي، فأُخَلِّصُ بَعْضًا مِنْهُم. فإِنْ كَانَ إِبْعَادُهُم مُصَالَحَةً لِلعَالَم، فمَاذَا يَكُونُ قَبُولُهُم إِلاَّ حَيَاةً مِنْ بَيْنِ الأَمْوَات؟ وإِنْ كَانَتِ البَاكُورَةُ مُقَدَّسَة، فَٱلعَجْنَةُ أَيْضًا مُقَدَّسَة. وإِنْ كَانَ الأَصْلُ مُقَدَّسًا، فَالأَغْصَانُ أَيْضًا مُقَدَّسَة. وإِنْ كَانَتْ بَعْضُ الأَغْصَانِ قَدْ قُطِعَتْ، وكُنْتَ أَنْتَ الزَّيْتُونَ البَرِّيَّ قَدْ طُعِّمْتَ في مَوَاضِعِهَا، فَصِرْتَ شَريكًا في أَصْلِ الزَّيْتُونِ وَدَسَمِهِ، فلا تَفْتَخِرْ عَلى الأَغْصَان. وَإِنِ ٱفْتَخَرْتَ فَلَسْتَ أَنْتَ تَحْمِلُ الأَصْلَ بَلِ الأَصْلُ يَحْمِلُكَ. ولَعَلَّكَ تَقُول: إِنَّ تِلْكَ الأَغْصَانَ قَدْ قُطِعَتْ لأُطَعَّمَ أَنَا! حَسَنًا تَقُول! هيَ قُطِعَتْ لِعَدَمِ إِيْمَانِهَا، وأَنْتَ بَاقٍ لإِيْمَانِكَ، فَلا تتَكَبَّرْ بَلْ خَفْ! فإِنْ كَانَ اللهُ لَمْ يُبْقِ عَلى الأَغْصَانِ الأَصْلِيَّة، فَلَنْ يُبْقِيَ عَلَيْكَ أَيْضًا. فَٱنْظُرْ إِلى لُطْفِ اللهِ وَقَسَاوَتِهِ: أَمَّا القَسَاوَةُ فَعَلَى الَّذينَ سَقَطُوا، وأَمَّا لُطْفُ اللهِ فَعَلَيْكَ أَنْتَ، إِنْ ثَبُتَّ في اللُّطْف، وإِلاَّ فَتُقْطَعُ أَنْتَ أَيْضًا. وهُم أَيْضًا، إِذا لَمْ يَسْتَمِرُّوا في عَدَمِ الإِيْمَان، سَوْفَ يُطَعَّمُون، لأَنَّ اللهَ قَادِرٌ أَنْ يَعُودَ فيُطَعِّمَهُم. فإِنْ كُنْتَ قَدْ قُطِعْتَ مِنَ الزَّيْتُونَةِ البَرِّيَّةِ الَّتي أَنْتَ مِنْهَا بِحَسَبِ الطَّبِيعَة، وطُعِّمْتَ عَلى خِلافِ الطَّبيعَةِ في زَيْتُونَةٍ جَيِّدَة، فَكَم بِالأَحْرَى هؤُلاءِ الَّذينَ هُمْ أَغْصَانٌ أَصْلِيَّة، يُطَعَّمُونَ في زَيْتُونَتِهِمِ الخَاصَّة؟”

If the part of the dough offered as first fruits is holy, then the whole batch is holy; and if the root is holy, then the branches also are holy
Letter to the Romans 11/13-24: “Now I am speaking to you Gentiles. Inasmuch then as I am an apostle to the Gentiles, I glorify my ministry. in order to make my own people jealous, and thus save some of them. For if their rejection is the reconciliation of the world, what will their acceptance be but life from the dead! If the part of the dough offered as first fruits is holy, then the whole batch is holy; and if the root is holy, then the branches also are holy. But if some of the branches were broken off, and you, a wild olive shoot, were grafted in their place to share the rich root of the olive tree, do not vaunt yourselves over the branches. If you do vaunt yourselves, remember that it is not you that support the root, but the root that supports you. You will say, ‘Branches were broken off so that I might be grafted in.’That is true. They were broken off because of their unbelief, but you stand only through faith. So do not become proud, but stand in awe. For if God did not spare the natural branches, perhaps he will not spare you. Note then the kindness and the severity of God: severity towards those who have fallen, but God’s kindness towards you, provided you continue in his kindness; otherwise you also will be cut off. And even those of Israel, if they do not persist in unbelief, will be grafted in, for God has the power to graft them in again. For if you have been cut from what is by nature a wild olive tree and grafted, contrary to nature, into a cultivated olive tree, how much more will these natural branches be grafted back into their own olive tree.”

تَعْرِفُونِي إِذًا، وتَعْرِفُونَ مِنْ أَيْنَ أَنَا ومَا أَتَيْتُ مِنْ تِلْقَاءِ نَفْسِي، ولكِنَّ مَنْ أَرْسَلَنِي هُوَ حَقٌّ، وأَنْتُم لا تَعْرِفُونَهُ
إنجيل القدّيس يوحنّا07/من25حتى30/“كَانَ أُنَاسٌ مِنْ أَهْلِ أُورَشَليمَ يَقُولُون : «أَلَيْسَ هذَا مَنْ يَطْلُبُونَ قَتْلَهُ؟ فَهَا هُوَ يَتَكَلَّمُ عَلَنًا، ولا يَقُولُونَ لَهُ شَيْئًا. تُرَى، هَلْ تَأَكَّدَ الرُّؤَسَاءُ أَنَّ هذَا هُوَ المَسِيح؟ غَيْرَ أَنَّ هذَا، نَعْرِفُ مِنْ أَيْنَ هُوَ. أَمَّا المَسِيح، عِنْدَمَا يَأْتِي، فَلا أَحَدَ يَعْرِفُ مِنْ أَيْنَ هُوَ». فَهَتَفَ يَسُوع، وهُوَ يُعَلِّمُ في الهَيْكَل، وقَال: «تَعْرِفُونِي إِذًا، وتَعْرِفُونَ مِنْ أَيْنَ أَنَا! ومَا أَتَيْتُ مِنْ تِلْقَاءِ نَفْسِي، ولكِنَّ مَنْ أَرْسَلَنِي هُوَ حَقٌّ، وأَنْتُم لا تَعْرِفُونَهُ. أَنَا أَعْرِفُهُ، لأَنِّي مِنْ عِنْدِهِ أَتَيْت، وهُوَ أَرْسَلَنِي». فَكَانُوا يَطْلُبُونَ القَبْضَ عَلَيْه، ولكِنَّ أَحَدًا لَمْ يُلْقِ عَلَيْهِ يَدًا، لأَنَّ سَاعَتَهُ مَا كَانَتْ بَعْدُ قَدْ حَانَتْ.”

‘You know me, and you know where I am from. I have not come on my own. But the one who sent me is true, and you do not know him
Holy Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Saint John 07/25-30: “Now some of the people of Jerusalem were saying, ‘Is not this the man whom they are trying to kill? And here he is, speaking openly, but they say nothing to him! Can it be that the authorities really know that this is the Messiah? Yet we know where this man is from; but when the Messiah comes, no one will know where he is from.’Then Jesus cried out as he was teaching in the temple, ‘You know me, and you know where I am from. I have not come on my own. But the one who sent me is true, and you do not know him. I know him, because I am from him, and he sent me.’Then they tried to arrest him, but no one laid hands on him, because his hour had not yet come.
