San Luqa 7:36-50

Wieħed mill-Fariżej stieden lil Ġesù biex jiekol miegħu; Ġesù daħal għand il-Fariżew u qagħad għall-ikel. Issa fil-belt kien hemm midinba magħrufa. Din saret taf li kien qiegħed għall-ikel fid-dar tal-Fariżew; ġiebet vażett ta’ l-alabastru biż-żejt ifuħ; u marret qagħdet warajh ħdejn riġlejh, tibki u xxarrablu riġlejh bi dmugħha u tixxuttahomlu b’xuxitha; mbagħad bisitlu riġlejh u dilkithomlu biż-żejt ifuħ. Kif ra hekk il-Fariżew li stiednu qal bejnu u bejn ruħu: “Dan, li kien profeta, kien ikun jaf min hi u x’mara hi din li qiegħda tmissu; kien ikun jaf, għax hi midinba!” Imma Ġesù qabad u qallu: “Xmun, għandi ħaġa xi ngħidlek.” “Għid, mgħallem,” qallu dak. “Tnejn min-nies kellhom id-dejn ma’ wieħed li jislef il-flus; wieħed kellu jagħtih ħames mitt dinar u l-ieħor ħamsin. Minn fejn iħallsu dejnhom ma kellhomx, u hu ħafrilhom it-tnejn…

“Tassew, ngħidilkom, kulma tagħmlu mal-iżgħar fost dawn ħuti, tkunu qed tagħmluh miegħi” (Mt 25:40) qal Ġesù lin-nies. Forsi qatt ma ħsibna li dan il-kliem jgħodd ukoll għall-iżgħar fost l-iżgħar minn ħutna – embrijun ċkejken, kważi mikroskopiku, li wkoll għandu jkun protett milli meqjuż bħala sempliċi kommodita’ jew dritt għal xi wħud.
