Авраам
Machine translation from the original · Show original
Abraham, who sacrifices his son to God, is likened to parents who send their children into monasticism.
You know, when God demanded that Patriarch Abraham sacrifice his only begotten son, and he did not hesitate at all to do this; for this he received a great reward, both here and in the future life, and was called the father of believers. Although you brought your beloved son to serve Him, although not your only begotten son, you will not lose reward from God (I, 136, 282–283).
