And as he came and drew near to the house, he heard music and dancing. So he called one of the servants and asked what these things meant. And he said to him, ‘Your brother has come, and because he has received him safe and sound, your father has killed the fatted calf.’ “But he was angry and would not go in. Therefore his father came out and pleaded with him. So he answered and said to his father, ‘Lo, these many years I have been serving you; I never transgressed your commandment at any time;

But as soon as this son of yours came, who has devoured your livelihood with harlots, you killed the fatted calf for him.’ “And he said to him, ‘Son, you are always with me, and all that I have is yours.

5- المتكأ الأول: 5- The best place: تاخذ الموضع الاخير بل متى دعيت فاذهب واتكئ في الموضع الاخير حتى اذا جاء الذي دعاك يقول لك يا صديق ارتفع الى فوق حينئذ يكون لك مجد امام المتكئين معك لان كل من يرفع نفسه يتضع ومن يضع نفسه يرتفع ” (لو 14 : 7 - 11) to take the lowest place. But when you are invited, go and sit down in the lowest place, so that when he who invited you comes he may say to you, ‘Friend, go up higher.’ Then you will have glory in the presence of those who sit at the table with you. For whoever exalts himself will be humbled, and he who humbles himself will be exalted.” (LK 14: 7-11)

Therefore let him who thinks he stands take heed lest he fall.” (1 CO 10: 10-12)

So the fire of the LORD burned among them, and consumed some in the outskirts of the camp. Then the people cried out to Moses, and when Moses prayed to the LORD, the fire was quenched. So he called the name of the place Taberah, because the fire of the LORD had burned among them.” (NU 11: 1-3)

“ وفيما كان يسوع في بيت عنيا في بيت سمعان الابرص تقدمت اليه امراة معها قارورة طيب كثير الثمن فسكبته على راسه وهو متكئ فلما راى تلاميذه ذلك اغتاظوا قائلين لماذا هذا الاتلاف لانه كان يمكن ان يباع هذا الطيب بكثير ويعطى للفقراء فعلم يسوع وقال لهم لماذا تزعجون المراة فانها قد عملت بي عملا حسنا لان الفقراء معكم في كل حين و اما انا فلست معكم في كل حين فانها اذ سكبت هذا الطيب على جسدي انما فعلت ذلك لاجل تكفيني الحق اقول لكم حيثما يكرز بهذا الانجيل في كل العالم يخبر ايضا بما فعلته هذه تذكارا لها ” (مت 26 : 6 - 13) “And when Jesus was in Bethany at the house of Simon the leper, a woman came to Him having an alabaster flask of very costly fragrant oil, and she poured it on His head as He sat at the table. But when His disciples saw it, they were indignant, saying, “Why this waste? For this fragrant oil might have been sold for much and given to the poor.” But when Jesus was aware of it, He said to them, “Why do you trouble the woman? For she has done a good work for Me. For you have the poor with you always, but Me you do not have always. For in pouring this fragrant oil on My body, she did it for My burial. Assuredly, I say to you, wherever this gospel is preached in the whole world, what this woman has done will also be told as a memorial to her.” (MT 26: 6-13)
