عجيبة شفاء الأعمى وغضب وتكشيك وتهديد الكتبة والفريسيين
إنجيل القدّيس يوحنّا09/من01حتى38: فيمَا كَانَ يَسُوعُ مَارًّا، رَأَى رَجُلاً أَعْمَى مُنْذُ وِلادَتِهِ.فَسَأَلَهُ تَلامِيذُهُ قَائِلين: «رَابِّي، مَنْ خَطِئَ، هذَا أَمْ وَالِدَاه، حَتَّى وُلِدَ أَعْمَى؟». أَجَابَ يَسُوع: «لا هذَا خَطِئَ، ولا وَالِدَاه، ولكِنْ لِتَظْهَرَ فِيهِ أَعْمَالُ الله. عَلَيْنا، مَا دَامَ النَّهَار، أَنْ نَعْمَلَ أَعْمَالَ مَنْ أَرْسَلَنِي. فَحِينَ يَأْتِي اللَّيْل، لا أَحَدَ يَقْدِرُ أَنْ يَعْمَل. مَا دُمْتُ في العَالَمِ فَأَنَا نُورُ العَالَم». ولَمَّا قَالَ هذَا، تَفَلَ في التُّرَاب، وصَنَعَ بِٱلتُّفْلِ طِينًا، وَمَسَحَ بِٱلطِّينِ عَيْنَي الأَعْمَى، وقَالَ لَهُ: «إِذْهَبْ وَٱغْتَسِلْ في بِرْكَةِ شِيلُوح، أَي ٱلمُرْسَل». فَمَضَى الأَعْمَى وٱغْتَسَلَ وعَادَ مُبْصِرًا. فَقَالَ الجِيرانُ والَّذينَ كَانُوا يَرَوْنَهُ مِنْ قَبْلُ يَسْتَعْطِي: «أَلَيْسَ هذَا مَنْ كَانَ يَجْلِسُ ويَسْتَعْطِي؟». وكَانَ بَعْضُهُم يَقُول: «هذَا هُوَ». وآخَرُونَ يَقُولُون: «لا، بَلْ يُشْبِهُهُ». أَمَّا هُوَ فَكانَ يَقُول: «أَنَا هُوَ». فَقَالُوا لَهُ: «وكَيْفَ ٱنْفَتَحَتْ عَيْنَاك؟». أَجَاب: «أَلرَّجُلُ الَّذي يُدْعَى يَسُوعَ صَنَعَ طِينًا، ومَسَحَ بِهِ عَيْنَيَّ، وقَالَ لي: إِذْهَبْ إِلى شِيلُوحَ وَٱغْتَسِلْ. فَمَضَيْتُ وٱغْتَسَلْتُ فَأَبْصَرْتُ». فَقَالُوا لَهُ: «أَيْنَ هُوَ ذَاكَ الرَّجُل؟». قَال: «لا أَعْلَم». فَجَاؤُوا بِٱلَّذي كَانَ أَعْمَى إِلى الفَرِّيسِيِّين. وكَانَ اليَوْمُ الَّذي صَنَعَ فِيهِ يَسُوعُ الطِّين، وفَتَحَ عَيْنَي الأَعْمَى، يَوْمَ سَبْت.
وعَادَ الفَرِّيسِيُّونَ يَسْأَلُونَهُ كَيْفَ أَبْصَر، فَقَالَ لَهُم: «وَضَعَ طِينًا على عَيْنَيَّ، وٱغْتَسَلْتُ، وهَا أَنَا أُبْصِر». فَقَالَ بَعْضُ الفَرِّيسِيِّين: «لَيْسَ هذَا الرَّجُلُ مِنْ عِنْدِ الله، لأَنَّهُ لا يَحْفَظُ السَّبْت». وقَالَ آخَرُون: «كَيْفَ يَقْدِرُ إِنْسَانٌ خَاطِئٌ أَنْ يَصْنَعَ مِثْلَ هذِهِ الآيَات؟». وكَانَ بَيْنَهُم شِقَاق. فَقَالُوا أَيْضًا لِلأَعْمَى: «وأَنْتَ، مَاذَا تَقُولُ فِيهِ وقَدْ فَتَحَ عَيْنَيْك؟». قَال: «إِنَّهُ نَبِيّ». ومَا صَدَّقَ اليَهُودُ أَنَّهُ كَانَ أَعْمَى ثُمَّ أَبْصَر، فَٱسْتَدْعَوا وَالِدَيْه، وسَأَلُوهُمَا قَائِلين: «أَهذَا هُوَ ٱبْنُكُمَا الَّذي تَقُولانِ عَنْهُ إِنَّهُ وُلِدَ أَعْمَى؟ فَكَيْفَ يُبْصِرُ الآن؟». فَأَجَابَ وَالِدَاهُ وقَالا: «نَحْنُ نَعْلَمُ أَنَّ هذَا هُوَ ٱبْنُنَا، وأَنَّهُ وُلِدَ أَعْمَى. أَمَّا كَيْفَ يُبْصِرُ الآنَ فَلا نَعْلَم، أَوْ مَنْ فَتَحَ عَيْنَيْهِ فَلا نَعْلَم. إِسْأَلُوه، وهُوَ يُجِيبُ عَنْ نَفْسِهِ، لأَنَّهُ بَلَغَ سِنَّ الرُّشْد». قَالَ وَالِدَاهُ هذَا خَوْفًا مِنَ اليَهُود، لأَنَّ اليَهُودَ كَانُوا قَدِ ٱتَّفَقُوا عَلى أَنْ يَفْصِلُوا عَنِ المَجْمَعِ كُلَّ مَنْ يَعْتَرِفُ بِأَنَّ يَسُوعَ هُوَ المَسِيح. لِذلِكَ قَالَ وَالِدَاه: «إِنَّهُ بَلَغَ سِنَّ الرُّشْد، فَٱسْأَلُوه». فَٱسْتَدْعَى الفَرِّيسِيُّونَ ثَانِيَةً ذَاكَ الَّذي كَانَ أَعْمَى وقَالُوا لَهُ: «مَجِّدِ ٱلله! نَحْنُ نَعْلَمُ أَنَّ هذَا الإِنْسَانَ خَاطِئ». فَأَجَاب: «لا أَعْلَمُ إِنْ كَانَ خَاطِئًا. أَعْلَمُ شَيْئًا وَاحِدًا، وهُوَ أَنِّي كُنْتُ أَعْمَى، وهَا أَنَا الآنَ أُبْصِر». فَقَالُوا لَهُ: «ومَاذَا صَنَعَ لَكَ؟ كَيْفَ فَتَحَ عَيْنَيْك؟». أَجَابَهُم: «قُلْتُ لَكُم ومَا سَمِعْتُم لِي، فَلِمَاذَا تُرِيْدُونَ أَنْ تَسْمَعُوا مَرَّةً ثَانِيَة؟ أَلَعَلَّكُم تُريدُونَ أَنْتُم أَيْضًا أَنْ تَصِيرُوا لَهُ تَلاميذ؟». فَشَتَمُوهُ وقَالُوا: «أَنْتَ تِلميذُهُ! أَمَّا نَحْنُ فَتَلاميذُ مُوسَى! نَحْنُ نَعْلَمُ أَنَّ اللهَ كَلَّمَ مُوسَى، أَمَّا هذَا فلا نَعْلَمُ مِنْ أَيْنَ هُوَ!». أَجَابَ الرَّجُلُ وقَالَ لَهُم: «عَجَبًا أَنَّكُم لا تَعْلَمُونَ مِنْ أَيْنَ هُوَ، وقَدْ فَتَحَ عَيْنَيَّ! نَحْنُ نَعْلَمُ أَنَّ اللهَ لا يَسْمَعُ لِلْخَطَأَة، بَلْ يَسْمَعُ لِمَنْ يَتَّقِيهِ ويَعْمَلُ مَشِيئتَهُ. لَمْ يُسْمَعْ يَوْمًا أَنَّ أَحَدًا فَتَحَ عَيْنَي مَنْ وُلِدَ أَعْمَى. فَلَو لَمْ يَكُنْ هذَا الرَّجُلُ مِنْ عِنْدِ الله، لَمَا ٱسْتَطَاعَ أَنْ يَعْمَلَ شَيْئًا». أَجَابُوا وقَالُوا لَهُ: «أَنْتَ كُلُّكَ وُلِدْتَ في الخَطَايَا، وتُعَلِّمُنَا؟». ثُمَّ طَرَدُوهُ خَارِجًا. وسَمِعَ يَسُوعُ أَنَّهُم طَرَدُوه، فَلَقِيَهُ وقَالَ لَهُ: «أَتُؤْمِنُ أَنْتَ بِٱبْنِ الإِنْسَان؟». أَجَابَ وقَال: «ومَنْ هُوَ، يَا سَيِّد، فَأُؤْمِنَ بِهِ؟». قَالَ لَهُ يَسُوع: «لَقَدْ رَأَيْتَهُ، وهُوَ الَّذي يُكَلِّمُكَ».فَقَال: «أَنَا أُؤْمِن، يَا رَبّ». وسَجَدَ لَهُ.

Jesus Heals a Man Born Blind
John 09/01-34/As he went along, he saw a man blind from birth. 2 His disciples asked him, “Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he was born blind?”“Neither this man nor his parents sinned,” said Jesus, “but this happened so that the works of God might be displayed in him. As long as it is day, we must do the works of him who sent me. Night is coming, when no one can work.While I am in the world, I am the light of the world.”After saying this, he spit on the ground, made some mud with the saliva, and put it on the man’s eyes. “Go,” he told him, “wash in the Pool of Siloam” (this word means “Sent”). So the man went and washed, and came home seeing.
His neighbors and those who had formerly seen him begging asked, “Isn’t this the same man who used to sit and beg?” 9 Some claimed that he was. Others said, “No, he only looks like him.”But he himself insisted, “I am the man.” “How then were your eyes opened?” they asked. He replied, “The man they call Jesus made some mud and put it on my eyes. He told me to go to Siloam and wash. So I went and washed, and then I could see.”“Where is this man?” they asked him. “I don’t know,” he said. The Pharisees Investigate the Healingز They brought to the Pharisees the man who had been blind.  Now the day on which Jesus had made the mud and opened the man’s eyes was a Sabbath.  Therefore the Pharisees also asked him how he had received his sight. “He put mud on my eyes,” the man replied, “and I washed, and now I see.” Some of the Pharisees said, “This man is not from God, for he does not keep the Sabbath.”But others asked, “How can a sinner perform such signs?” So they were divided. Then they turned again to the blind man, “What have you to say about him? It was your eyes he opened.”The man replied, “He is a prophet.”
They still did not believe that he had been blind and had received his sight until they sent for the man’s parents. 19 “Is this your son?” they asked. “Is this the one you say was born blind? How is it that now he can see?”“We know he is our son,” the parents answered, “and we know he was born blind. But how he can see now, or who opened his eyes, we don’t know. Ask him. He is of age; he will speak for himself.” His parents said this because they were afraid of the Jewish leaders, who already had decided that anyone who acknowledged that Jesus was the Messiah would be put out of the synagogue. That was why his parents said, “He is of age; ask him.”A second time they summoned the man who had been blind. “Give glory to God by telling the truth,” they said. “We know this man is a sinner.” He replied, “Whether he is a sinner or not, I don’t know. One thing I do know. I was blind but now I see!” Then they asked him, “What did he do to you? How did he open your eyes?” He answered, “I have told you already and you did not listen. Why do you want to hear it again? Do you want to become his disciples too?” Then they hurled insults at him and said, “You are this fellow’s disciple! We are disciples of Moses! We know that God spoke to Moses, but as for this fellow, we don’t even know where he comes from.” The man answered, “Now that is remarkable! You don’t know where he comes from, yet he opened my eyes. We know that God does not listen to sinners. He listens to the godly person who does his will. Nobody has ever heard of opening the eyes of a man born blind. 33 If this man were not from God, he could do nothing.” To this they replied, “You were steeped in sin at birth; how dare you lecture us!” And they threw him out.

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.

وإِنْ كَانَتِ البَاكُورَةُ مُقَدَّسَة، فَٱلعَجْنَةُ أَيْضًا مُقَدَّسَة. وإِنْ كَانَ الأَصْلُ مُقَدَّسًا، فَالأَغْصَانُ أَيْضًا مُقَدَّسَة
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.”
