Pascha Sunday This is the day which the Lord hath made; let us rejoice and be glad therein! O give thanks unto the Lord, for He is good; His mercy endureth forever. The Reading from the Acts of the Apostles. (1:1-8) In the first book, O Theophilus, I have dealt with all that Jesus began to do and teach, until the day when He was taken up, after He had given commandment through the Holy Spirit to the Apostles whom He had chosen. To them He presented Himself alive after His passion by many proofs, appearing to them during forty days, and speaking of the kingdom of God. And while staying with them He charged them not to depart from Jerusalem, but to wait for the promise of the Father, which, He said, You heard from Me; for John baptized with water, but before many days you shall be baptized with the Holy Spirit. So when they had come together, they asked Him, Lord, will you at this time restore the kingdom to Israel? He said to them, It is not for you to know times or seasons which the Father has fixed by His own authority. But you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be my witnesses in Jerusalem and in all Judea and Samaria and to the end of the earth. The Reading from the Holy Gospel according to St. John. (1:1-17) In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God; all things were made through Him, and without Him was not anything made that was made. In Him was life, and the life was the light of men. The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it. There was a man sent from God, whose name was John. He came for testimony, to bear witness to the light, that all might believe through him. He was not the light, but came to bear witness to the light. The true light that enlightens everyman was coming into the world. He was in the world, and the world was made through Him, yet the world knew Him not. He came to His own home, and His own people received Him not. But to all who received Him, who believed in His Name, He gave power to become children of God; who were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God. And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, full of grace and truth; we have beheld His glory, glory as of the only Son from the Father. (John bore witness to Him, and cried, This was He of Whom I said, He Who comes after me ranks before me, for He was before me. ) And from His fullness have we all received, grace upon grace. For the law was given through Moses; grace and truth came through Jesus Christ. أحد الفصح المقدس هذا هو اليوم الذي صنعه الرب. فلنتهلل ونفرح به اعترفوا للرب فأنه صالح وان الى االبد رحمته. فصل من أعمال الرسل القديسين االطهار )1: 8-1( ا ل ك ال م األ ول أ ن ش أ ت ه ي ا ث او ف يل س ع ن ج م يع م ا اب ت د أ ي س وع ي ف ع ل ه و ي ع ل م ب ه إ ل ى ال ي و م الذ ي ار ت ف ع ف يه ب ع د م ا أ و ص ى ب الر وح ال ق د س الر س ل ال ذ ين اخ ت ار ه م.ا ل ذ ين أ ر اه م أ ي ض ا ن ف س ه ح ي ا ب ب ر اه ين ك ث ير ة ب ع د م ا ت أ لم و ه و ي ظ ه ر ل ه م أ ر ب ع ين ي و م ا و ي ت ك لم ع ن األ م ور ال م خ ت صة ب م ل ك وت للا.و ف يم ا ه و م ج ت م ع م ع ه م أ و ص اه م أ ن ال ي ب ر ح وا م ن أ ور ش ل يم ب ل ي ن ت ظ ر وا»م و ع د اآلب الذ ي س م ع ت م وه م ن ي أل ن ي وح نا ع مد ب ال م اء و أ ما أ ن ت م ف س ت ت ع مد ون ب الر وح ال ق د س ل ي س ب ع د هذ ه األ ي ام ب ك ث ير.«أ ما ه م ال م ج ت م ع ون ف س أ ل وه ق ائ ل ين :»ي ا ر ب ه ل ف ي هذ ا ال و ق ت ت ر د ال م ل ك إ ل ى إ س ر ائ يل «ف ق ال ل ه م :»ل ي س ل ك م أ ن ت ع ر ف وا األ ز م ن ة و األ و ق ات الت ي ج ع ل ه ا اآلب ف ي س ل ط ان ه لك نك م س ت ن ال ون ق وة م ت ى ح ل الر وح ال ق د س ع ل ي ك م و ت ك ون ون ل ي ش ه ود ا ف ي أ ور ش ل يم و ف ي ك ل ال ي ه ود ية و السام ر ة و إ ل ى أ ق ص ى األ ر ض. فصل شريف من بشارة القديس يوحنا البشير والتلميذ الطاهر )11-1:1( في البدء كان الكلمة والكلمة كان عند هللا وكان الكلمة هللا. هذا كان في البدء عند هللا. كل شيء به كان وبغيره لم يكن شيء مما كان. فيه كانت الحياة والحياة كانت نور الناس والنور يضيء في الظلمة والظلمة لم تدركه. كان إنسان مرسل من هللا اسمه يوحنا هذا جاء للشهادة ليشهد للنور لكي يؤمن الكل بواسطته لم يكن هو النور بل ليشهد للنور كان النور الحقيقي الذي ينير كل إنسان آتيا إلى العالم كان في العالم وكون العالم به ولم يعرفه العالم إلى خاصته جاء وخاصته لم تقبله. وأما كل الذين قبلوه فأعطاهم سلطانا أن يصيروا أوالد هللا أي المؤمنون باسمه الذين ولدوا ليس من دم وال من مشيئة جسد وال من مشيئة رجل بل من هللا والكلمة صار جسدا وحل بيننا ورأينا مجده مجدا كما لوحيد من اآلب مملوءا نعمة وحقا. يوحنا شهد له ونادى قائال: هذا هو الذي قلت عنه: إن الذي يأتي بعدي صار قدامي ألنه كان قبلي ومن ملئه نحن جميعا أخذنا ونعمة فوق نعمة ألن الناموس بموسى أعطي أما النعمة والحق فبيسوع المسيح حصال.
