Qari

L-Ittra lill-Lhud 4: 1-5, 11

4:1	Għalhekk, we should be afraid, lest the promise of entering into his rest may be relinquished, and some of you may be judged to be lacking.
4:2	For this was announced to us in a similar manner as to them. But the mere hearing of the word did not benefit them, since it was not joined together with a faith in those things that they heard.
4:3	For we who have believed shall enter into rest, in the same manner as he said: “So it is as I have sworn in my wrath: M'għandhomx jidħlu fil-mistrieħ tiegħi!” And certainly, this is when the works from the foundation of the world have been finished.
4:4	Għal, in a certain place, he spoke about the seventh day in this manner: “And God rested on the seventh day from all his works.”
4:5	And in this place again: “They shall not enter into my rest!”
4:11	Għalhekk, let us hasten to enter into that rest, so that no one may fall into the same example of unbelief.

Evanġelju

L-Evanġelju Qaddis Skond Mark 2: 1-12

2:1	U wara xi jiem, reġa’ daħal f’Kafarnahum.
2:2	U nstema’ li kien fid-dar. U tant inġabru li ma baqax spazju, lanqas fil-bieb. U qalilhom il-kelma.
2:3	U ġew għandu, iġib paralitiku, li kien qed jinġarr minn erba’ rġiel.
2:4	U meta ma setgħux jippreżentawh minħabba l-folla, kixfu s-saqaf fejn kien. U tiftaħha, niżlu l-istreċer li fuqu kien mimdud il-paralitiku.
2:5	Imbagħad, meta Ġesù kien ra l-fidi tagħhom, qal lill-paralitiku, “Iben, dnubietkom maħfurinkom.”
2:6	Imma xi wħud mill-kittieba kienu bilqiegħda f’dak il-post u jaħsbu f’qalbhom:
2:7	“Għaliex dan ir-raġel qed jitkellem b’dan il-mod? Qiegħed jgħajjat. Min jista’ jaħfer id-dnubiet, imma Alla waħdu?”
2:8	F'daqqa, Ġesù, jirrealizza fl-ispirtu tiegħu li kienu qed jaħsbu dan fihom infushom, qalilhom: “Għaliex qed taħsbu dawn l-affarijiet f’qalbkom?
2:9	Li huwa aktar faċli, ngħid lill-paralitiku, ‘Dnubietek huma maħfurin,’ jew biex ngħid, ‘Qum, ħu stretcher tiegħek, u jimxu?’
2:10	Imma biex tkunu tafu li Bin il-bniedem għandu awtorità fuq l-art li jaħfer id-dnubiet,” qal lill- paralitiku:
2:11	“Ngħidlek: Qum, ħu stretcher tiegħek, u mur f’darek.”
2:12	U immedjatament qam, u jerfa’ l-streċer tiegħu, telaq quddiemhom kollha, hekk li kollha staqsew. U huma onoraw lil Alla, billi qal, "Qatt ma rajna xi ħaġa bħal din."
