A reading from the Holy Gospel according to
Luke 4: 21-30 P. Glory to you Lord
Jesus began speaking in the synagogue, saying: “Today this Scripture passage is fulfilled in your hearing.” And all spoke highly of him and were amazed at the gracious words that came from his mouth. They also asked, “Isn’t this the son of Joseph?” He said to them, “Surely you will quote me this proverb, ‘Physician, cure yourself,’ and say, ‘Do here in your native place the things that we heard were done in Capernaum.’” And he said, “Amen, I say to you, no prophet is accepted in his own native place. Indeed, I tell you, there were many widows in Israel in the days of Elijah when the sky was closed for three and a half years and a severe famine spread over the entire land. It was to none of these that Elijah was sent, but only to a widow in Zarephath in the land of Sidon. Again, there were many lepers in Israel during the time of Elisha the prophet; yet not one of them was cleansed, but only Naaman the Syrian.” When the people in the synagogue heard this, they were all filled with fury. They rose up, drove him out of the town, and led him to the brow of the hill on which their town had been built, to hurl him down headlong. But Jesus passed through the midst of them and went away.

21فَابْتَدَأَ يَقُولُ لَهُمْ:«إِنَّهُ الْيَوْمَ قَدْ تَمَّ هذَا الْمَكْتُوبُ فِي مَسَامِعِكُمْ».22وَكَانَ الْجَمِيعُ يَشْهَدُونَ لَهُ وَيَتَعَجَّبُونَ مِنْ كَلِمَاتِ النِّعْمَةِ الْخَارِجَةِ مِنْ فَمِهِ، وَيَقُولُونَ: «أَلَيْسَ هذَا ابْنَ يُوسُفَ؟» 23فَقَالَ لَهُمْ:«عَلَى كُلِّ حَال تَقُولُونَ لِي هذَا الْمَثَلَ: أَيُّهَا الطَّبِيبُ اشْفِ نَفْسَكَ! كَمْ سَمِعْنَا أَنَّهُ جَرَى فِي كَفْرِنَاحُومَ، فَافْعَلْ ذلِكَ هُنَا أَيْضًا فِي وَطَنِكَ» 24وَقَالَ: «الْحَقَّ أَقُولُ لَكُمْ: إِنَّهُ لَيْسَ نَبِيٌّ مَقْبُولاً فِي وَطَنِهِ. 25وَبِالْحَقِّ أَقُولُ لَكُمْ: إِنَّ أَرَامِلَ كَثِيرَةً كُنَّ فِي إِسْرَائِيلَ فِي أَيَّامِ إِيلِيَّا حِينَ أُغْلِقَتِ السَّمَاءُ مُدَّةَ ثَلاَثِ سِنِينَ وَسِتَّةِ أَشْهُرٍ، لَمَّا كَانَ جُوعٌ عَظِيمٌ فِي الأَرْضِ كُلِّهَا، 26وَلَمْ يُرْسَلْ إِيلِيَّا إِلَى وَاحِدَةٍ مِنْهَا، إِلاَّ إِلَى امْرَأَةٍ أَرْمَلَةٍ، إِلَى صَرْفَةِ صَيْدَاءَ. 27وَبُرْصٌ كَثِيرُونَ كَانُوا فِي إِسْرَائِيلَ فِي زَمَانِ أَلِيشَعَ النَّبِيِّ، وَلَمْ يُطَهَّرْ وَاحِدٌ مِنْهُمْ إِلاَّ نُعْمَانُ السُّرْيَانِيُّ». 28فَامْتَلأَ غَضَبًا جَمِيعُ الَّذِينَ فِي الْمَجْمَعِ حِينَ سَمِعُوا هذَا، 29فَقَامُوا وَأَخْرَجُوهُ خَارِجَ الْمَدِينَةِ، وَجَاءُوا بِهِ إِلَى حَافَّةَِ الْجَبَلِ الَّذِي كَانَتْ مَدِينَتُهُمْ مَبْنِيَّةً عَلَيْهِ حَتَّى يَطْرَحُوهُ إِلَى أَسْفَلٍ. 30أَمَّا هُوَ فَجَازَ فِي وَسْطِهِمْ وَمَضَى.
