† EVANGÉLIUM Szent Máté könyvéből
<br>
<i>Jézus <span style="color:rgb(39,78,19)">a farizeusok</span><span style="color:rgb(7,55,99)"> kérdésé</span>re kérdéssel válaszol: „Honnan van János keresztsége?” </i><br>
Egy alkalommal Jézus a templomba ment, és tanított. Közben odaléptek
hozzá <span style="color:rgb(7,55,99)"><span style="color:rgb(102,0,0)">a főpapok meg a nép vénei,</span> és megkérdezték: „Miféle hatalommal
teszed ezeket? Ki adta neked a hatalmat ehhez?”
</span>Jézus így válaszolt: „Én is kérdezek tőletek valamit. Ha megfeleltek rá,
megmondom nektek, milyen hatalommal teszek így. Honnan volt János
keresztsége? A mennyből-e vagy az emberektől?”
<span style="color:rgb(102,0,0)">Azok tanakodni kezdtek egymás között:<u> </u></span><span style="color:rgb(12,52,61)">„Ha azt mondjuk, a mennyből volt,
<span style="color:rgb(255,0,0)">azt feleli: »Hát akkor miért nem hittetek neki</span>?« Ha pedig azt mondjuk:
»Az emberektől, akkor meg félnünk kell a néptől, mert <span style="color:rgb(255,0,0)">Jánost mindenki
prófétának tartja</span>.”</span><br>
<span style="color:rgb(12,52,61)"><span style="color:rgb(102,0,0)">Ezért ezt a választ</span> adták <span style="color:rgb(255,0,0)">Jézus</span>nak: „Nem tudjuk.”</span><br>
„Akkor én sem mondom meg nektek, hogy milyen hatalommal teszek így” – felelte Jézus.<br>
Ezek az evangélium igéi.
