, որպէսզի աւետարանին ճշմարտութիւնը ձեր մէջ մնայ: Իսկ անոնք

որ կը կարծուէին բա՛ն մը ըլլալ ինչ որ էին՝ ատիկա ինծի հարց չէ,

քանի որ Աստուած մարդոց աչառութիւն չ՚ըներ , այնպէս կարծուածները աւելի ոչինչ հաղորդեցին

Then after fourteen years, I went up again to Jerusalem, this time with Barnabas. I took Titus along also. I went in response to a revelation and, meeting privately with those esteemed as leaders, I presented to them the gospel that I preach among the Gentiles. I wanted to be sure I was not running and had not been running my race in vain. Yet not even Titus, who was with me, was compelled to be circumcised, even though he was a Greek. This matter arose because some false believers had infiltrated our ranks to spy on the freedom we have in Christ Jesus and to make us slaves. We did not give in to them for a moment, so that the truth of the gospel might be preserved for you.

As for those who were held in high esteem whatever they were makes no difference to me; God does not show favoritism they added

nothing to my message. On the contrary, they recognized that I had been entrusted with the task of preaching the gospel to the uncircumcised, just as Peter had been to the circumcised. For God, who was at work in Peter as an apostle to the circumcised, was also at work in me as an apostle to the Gentiles. James, Cephas c and John, those esteemed as pillars, gave me and Barnabas the right hand of fellowship when they recognized the grace given to me. They agreed that we should go to the Gentiles, and they to the circumcised. All they asked was that we should continue to remember the poor, the very thing I had been eager to do all along.

MARK 12:35 44

While Jesus was teaching in the temple courts, he asked, “Why do the teachers of the law say that the Messiah is the son of David? David himself, speaking by the Holy Spirit, declared: ‘The Lord said to my Lord: “Sit at my right hand until I put your enemies under your feet.” David himself calls him ‘Lord.’ How then can he be his son?” The large crowd listened to him with delight. As he taught, Jesus said, “Watch out for the teachers of the law. They like to walk around in flowing robes and be greeted with respect in the marketplaces, and have the most important seats in the synagogues and the places of honor at banquets. They devour widows’ houses and for a show make lengthy prayers. These men will be punished most severely.” Jesus sat down opposite the place where the offerings were put and watched the crowd putting their money into the temple treasury. Many rich people threw in large amounts. But a poor widow came and put in two very small copper coins, worth only a few cents. Calling his disciples to him, Jesus said, “Truly I tell you, this poor widow has put more into the treasury than all the others. They all gave out of their wealth; but she, out of her poverty, put in everything all she had to live on.”

FEAST OF THE EVANGELISTS

STS. MATHEW, MARK, LUKE AND JOHN

On October 15 the Armenian Church commemorated the Feast of Holy Evangelists Matthew Mark, Luke and John, who wrote the 4 Gospels of Jesus Christ. The word Evangelist comes from the Greek Euaggelistes which means "one who brings good news.". Matthew and John were among the original twelve apostles of Christ; Mark and Luke were apparently amongst 72disciples.

ST. MATHEW was a tax collector in Capernaum, Galilee. He is the author of the first Gospel. The name of Matthew is the Greek version of his Hebrew name Levi, which means God given. Following God’s will, he became one of the Christ's followers. He has preached the Word of God in Parthia and Palestine. His symbol is the winged man.

ST. MARK is believed to be one of the blind men that were healed by our Lord Jesus Christ. It was the house of his mother Mary that was the place of prayer for the apostles. He has been the interpreter of St Peter, as well as the friend of St. Paul and Barnabas. He has preached the Word of God in Antioch, Cyprus, Rome and later in Egypt, where he has

been martyred. He is the founder of the Coptic Orthodox Church in 64 AC. His symbol is the winged lion.

ST. LUKE is the author of the third Gospel. He was of Greek descent and was born in Antioch. According to the tradition he is one of the seventy two disciples of Jesus Christ. According to St. Paul he was a physician, a historian and an artist. He has preached the Word of God in Achaia, Dalmatia, Italy, Macedonian and was martyred at age 74. His symbol is the winged bull.

ST. JOHN is the author of the fourth Gospel, three letters and the Revelation. He was the son of the fisherman Zebedee and the brother of James. Together with James and Peter he witnessed the “transfiguration” of Jesus Christ on the mount Tabor. Together with St. Mary, Holy Godmother, he stood near the cross. After the Pentecost, John went to Ephesus, where he wrote his Gospel. He passed away at the age of 95. His symbol is the winged eagle.
