San Luqa 12:13-21 Xi ħadd mill-folla qallu: “Mgħallem, għid lil ħija jaqsam il-wirt miegħi.” “Ħabib,” wieġbu Ġesù, “min qegħedni mħallef fuqkom, jew qabbadni nqassmilkom il-ġid bejnietkom?” Mbagħad qal lin-nies: “Iftħu għajnejkom u ħarsu rwieħkom minn kull regħba, għax imqar jekk wieħed ikollu bir-radam, ħajtu ma tiddependix mill-ġid li jkollu.” U qalilhom parabbola: “Wieħed raġel għani ġabar kotra ta’ frott mir-raba’ tiegħu.

San Mattew 14:1-12 Kien dik il-ħabta li Erodi t-tetrarka sama’ bil-fama ta’ Ġesù, u lill-qaddejja tiegħu qalilhom: “Dan Ġwanni l-Battista! Iva, hu, qam mill-imwiet! U minħabba f’hekk il-qawwa tal-mirakli qiegħda taħdem fih!” Għax Erodi kien arresta lil Ġwanni, u qaflu l-ħabs u ħallieh hemm minħabba Erodja, mart ħuh Filippu. Għax Ġwanni kien jgħidlu: “Inti lil dik ma tistax iżżommha.” Ried kieku joqtlu, imma kien jibża’ min-nies, għax kienu jżommuh bi profeta. Mela wasal jum li fih Erodi għalaq sninu, u bint Erodja ħarġet fin-nofs tiżfen, u għoġbot lil Erodi; għalhekk wegħedha taħt ġurament li jagħtiha kull ma titolbu. U hi, mogħwija minn ommha, qaltlu: “Agħtini issa stess ras Ġwanni l-Battista fuq platt.” Is-sultan tnikket, iżda minħabba l-ġurament li ħa u l-mistednin tiegħu ordna li tingħatalha. U bagħat jaqta’ ras Ġwanni fil-ħabs. U ġiebu rasu fuq platt u tawha lit-tfajla, u din ħaditha lil ommha. Mbagħad id-dixxipli tiegħu ġew, ħadu l-ġisem tiegħu u difnuh, u marru jagħtu l-aħbar lil Ġesù…

Imma wkoll issa, jiena naf li kull ma int titlob lil Alla, Alla jagħtihulek.” Ġesù qalilha: “Ħuk jerġa’ jqum!” Qaltlu Marta: “Jiena naf li jerġa’ jqum, fil-qawmien mill-imwiet fl-aħħar jum.” Qalilha Ġesù: “Jien hu l-qawmien u l-ħajja…

Meta timtela jtellgħuha x-xatt, u joqogħdu bilqiegħda, jiġbru fil-kannestri dak li jkun tajjeb u jarmu l-ħażin. Hekk jiġri fi tmiem id-dinja: l-anġli joħorġu jifirdu l-ħżiena mill-ġusti, u jixħtuhom fil-ħuġġieġa tan-nar; hemmhekk ikun hemm il-biki u t-tgħażżiż tas-snien.”Kollu fhimtuh dan?” “Iva” qalulu.
