Psalm:
(Psalm 117: 1-2)
مزامير 118 : 1-2
Give thanks to the LORD, for He is good. For His mercy endured forever. Let now the house of Israel now say, that He is good. His mercy endured forever.
اِحْمَدُوا الرَّبَّ لأَنَّهُ صَالِحٌ لأَنَّ إِلَى الأَبَدِ رَحْمَتَهُ. لِيَقُلْ إِسْرَائِيلُ: إِنَّ إِلَى الأَبَدِ رَحْمَتَهُ.
Gospel:
(John 6:57-69)
يوحنا 6 : 57-69
As the living Father sent Me, and I live because of the Father, so he who feeds on Me will live because of Me. This is the bread which came down from heaven--not as your fathers ate the manna, and are dead. He who eats this bread will live forever." These things He said in the synagogue as He taught in Capernaum.
كَمَا أَرْسَلَنِي الآبُ الْحَيُّ وَأَنَا حَيٌّ بِالآبِ فَمَنْ يَأْكُلْنِي فَهُوَ يَحْيَا بِي. هَذَا هُوَ الْخُبْزُ الَّذِي نَزَلَ مِنَ السَّمَاءِ. لَيْسَ كَمَا أَكَلَ آبَاؤُكُمُ الْمَنَّ وَمَاتُوا. مَنْ يَأْكُلْ هَذَا الْخُبْزَ فَإِنَّهُ يَحْيَا إِلَى الأَبَدِ». قَالَ هَذَا فِي الْمَجْمَعِ وَهُوَ يُعَلِّمُ فِي كَفْرِنَاحُومَ.
Therefore many of His disciples, when they heard this, said, "This is a hard saying; who can understand it?" When Jesus knew in Himself that His disciples complained about this, He said to them, "Does this offend you? What then if you should see the Son of Man ascend where He was before? It is the Spirit who gives life; the flesh profits nothing. The words that I speak to you are spirit, and they are life. But there are some of you who do not believe."
فَقَالَ كَثِيرُونَ مِنْ تلاَمِيذِهِ إِذْ سَمِعُوا: «إِنَّ هَذَا الْكلاَمَ صَعْبٌ! مَنْ يَقْدِرُ أَنْ يَسْمَعَهُ؟» فَعَلِمَ يَسُوعُ فِي نَفْسِهِ أَنَّ تلاَمِيذَهُ يَتَذَمَّرُونَ عَلَى هَذَا فَقَالَ لَهُمْ: «أَهَذَا يُعْثِرُكُمْ؟ فَإِنْ رَأَيْتُمُ ابْنَ الإِنْسَانِ صَاعِداً إِلَى حَيْثُ كَانَ أَوَّلاً! اَلرُّوحُ هُوَ الَّذِي يُحْيِي. أَمَّا الْجَسَدُ فلاَ يُفِيدُ شَيْئاً. اَلْكلاَمُ الَّذِي أُكَلِّمُكُمْ بِهِ هُوَ رُوحٌ وَحَيَاةٌ وَلَكِنْ مِنْكُمْ قَوْمٌ لاَ يُؤْمِنُونَ».
For Jesus knew from the beginning who they were who did not believe, and who would betray Him. And He said, "Therefore I have said to you that no one can come to Me unless it has been granted to him by My Father." From that time many of His disciples went back and walked with Him no more. Then Jesus said to the twelve, "Do you also want to go away?" But Simon Peter answered Him, "Lord, to whom shall we go? You have the words of eternal life. Also we have come to believe and know that You are the Christ, the Son of the living God."
لأَنَّ يَسُوعَ مِنَ الْبَدْءِ عَلِمَ مَنْ هُمُ الَّذِينَ لاَ يُؤْمِنُونَ وَمَنْ هُوَ الَّذِي يُسَلِّمُهُ. فَقَالَ: «لِهَذَا قُلْتُ لَكُمْ إِنَّهُ لاَ يَقْدِرُ أَحَدٌ أَنْ يَأْتِيَ إِلَيَّ إِنْ لَمْ يُعْطَ مِنْ أَبِي». مِنْ هَذَا الْوَقْتِ رَجَعَ كَثِيرُونَ مِنْ تلاَمِيذِهِ إِلَى الْوَرَاءِ وَلَمْ يَعُودُوا يَمْشُونَ مَعَهُ. فَقَالَ يَسُوعُ لِلاِثْنَيْ عَشَرَ: «أَلَعَلَّكُمْ أَنْتُمْ أَيْضاً تُرِيدُونَ أَنْ تَمْضُوا؟» فَأَجَابَهُ سِمْعَانُ بُطْرُسُ: «يَا رَبُّ إِلَى مَنْ نَذْهَبُ؟ كلاَمُ الْحَيَاةِ الأَبَدِيَّةِ عِنْدَكَ وَنَحْنُ قَدْ آمَنَّا وَعَرَفْنَا أَنَّكَ أَنْتَ الْمَسِيحُ ابْنُ اللَّهِ الْحَيِّ».

Psalm:
(Psalm 117:28, 21)
مزامير 118 : 28 21
You are my God, and I will give You thanks. You are my God, I will exalt You. I will give thanks to You, for You have heard me, and have become my salvation.
إِلَهِي أَنْتَ فَأَحْمَدُكَ. إِلَهِي فَأَرْفَعُكَ. أَحْمَدُكَ لأَنَّكَ اسْتَجَبْتَ لِي وَصِرْتَ لِي خَلاَصاً.
Gospel:
(John 8:51-59)
يوحنا 8 : 51-59
Most assuredly, I say to you, if anyone keeps My word he shall never see death." Then the Jews said to Him, "Now we know that You have a demon! Abraham is dead, and the prophets; and You say, "If anyone keeps My word he shall never taste death.' Are You greater than our father Abraham, who is dead? And the prophets are dead. Who do You make Yourself out to be?"
اَلْحَقَّ الْحَقَّ أَقُولُ لَكُمْ: إِنْ كَانَ أَحَدٌ يَحْفَظُ كلاَمِي فَلَنْ يَرَى الْمَوْتَ إِلَى الأَبَدِ». فَقَالَ لَهُ الْيَهُودُ: «الآنَ عَلِمْنَا أَنَّ بِكَ شَيْطَاناً. قَدْ مَاتَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ وَالأَنْبِيَاءُ وَأَنْتَ تَقُولُ: «إِنْ كَانَ أَحَدٌ يَحْفَظُ كلاَمِي فَلَنْ يَذُوقَ الْمَوْتَ إِلَى الأَبَدِ». أَلَعَلَّكَ أَعْظَمُ مِنْ أَبِينَا إِبْرَاهِيمَ الَّذِي مَاتَ. وَالأَنْبِيَاءُ مَاتُوا. مَنْ تَجْعَلُ نَفْسَكَ؟»
Jesus answered, "If I honor Myself, My honor is nothing. It is My Father who honors Me, of whom you say that He is your God. Yet you have not known Him, but I know Him. And if I say, "I do not know Him,' I shall be a liar like you; but I do know Him and keep His word. Your father Abraham rejoiced to see My day, and he saw it and was glad."
أَجَابَ يَسُوعُ: «إِنْ كُنْتُ أُمَجِّدُ نَفْسِي فَلَيْسَ مَجْدِي شَيْئاً. أَبِي هُوَ الَّذِي يُمَجِّدُنِي الَّذِي تَقُولُونَ أَنْتُمْ إِنَّهُ إِلَهُكُمْ وَلَسْتُمْ تَعْرِفُونَهُ. وَأَمَّا أَنَا فَأَعْرِفُهُ. وَإِنْ قُلْتُ إِنِّي لَسْتُ أَعْرِفُهُ أَكُونُ مِثْلَكُمْ كَاذِباً لَكِنِّي أَعْرِفُهُ وَأَحْفَظُ قَوْلَهُ. أَبُوكُمْ إِبْرَاهِيمُ تَهَلَّلَ بِأَنْ يَرَى يَوْمِي فَرَأَى وَفَرِحَ».
Then the Jews said to Him, "You are not yet fifty years old, and have You seen Abraham?" Jesus said to them, "Most assuredly, I say to you, before Abraham was, I AM." Then they took up stones to throw at Him; but Jesus hid Himself and went out of the temple, going through the midst of them, and so passed by.
فَقَالَ لَهُ الْيَهُودُ: «لَيْسَ لَكَ خَمْسُونَ سَنَةً بَعْدُ أَفَرَأَيْتَ إِبْرَاهِيمَ؟» قَالَ لَهُمْ يَسُوعُ: «الْحَقَّ الْحَقَّ أَقُولُ لَكُمْ: قَبْلَ أَنْ يَكُونَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ أَنَا كَائِنٌ». فَرَفَعُوا حِجَارَةً لِيَرْجُمُوهُ. أَمَّا يَسُوعُ فَاخْتَفَى وَخَرَجَ مِنَ الْهَيْكَلِ مُجْتَازاً فِي وَسْطِهِمْ وَمَضَى هَكَذَا.

Pauline Epistle:
(2 Thessalonians 2:13-3:5)
2 تسالونيكي 2 : 13- 3 : 5
But we are bound to give thanks to God always for you, brethren beloved by the Lord, because God from the beginning chose you for salvation through sanctification by the Spirit and belief in the truth, to which He called you by our gospel, for the obtaining of the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ. Therefore, brethren, stand fast and hold the traditions which you were taught, whether by word or our epistle.
وَأَمَّا نَحْنُ فَيَنْبَغِي لَنَا أَنْ نَشْكُرَ اللهَ كُلَّ حِينٍ لأَجْلِكُمْ أَيُّهَا الإِخْوَةُ الْمَحْبُوبُونَ مِنَ الرَّبِّ، أَنَّ اللهَ اخْتَارَكُمْ مِنَ الْبَدْءِ لِلْخَلاَصِ، بِتَقْدِيسِ الرُّوحِ وَتَصْدِيقِ الْحَقِّ. الأَمْرُ الَّذِي دَعَاكُمْ إِلَيْهِ بِإِنْجِيلِنَا، لاِقْتِنَاءِ مَجْدِ رَبِّنَا يَسُوعَ الْمَسِيحِ. فَاثْبُتُوا إِذاً أَيُّهَا الإِخْوَةُ وَتَمَسَّكُوا بِالتَّعَالِيمِ الَّتِي تَعَلَّمْتُمُوهَا، سَوَاءٌ كَانَ بِالْكَلاَمِ أَمْ بِرِسَالَتِنَا.
Now may our Lord Jesus Christ Himself, and our God and Father, who has loved us and given us everlasting consolation and good hope by grace, comfort your hearts and establish you in every good word and work. Finally, brethren, pray for us, that the word of the Lord may run swiftly and be glorified, just as it is with you, and that we may be delivered from unreasonable and wicked men; for not all have faith.
وَرَبُّنَا نَفْسُهُ يَسُوعُ الْمَسِيحُ، وَاللهُ أَبُونَا الَّذِي أَحَبَّنَا وَأَعْطَانَا عَزَاءً أَبَدِيّاً وَرَجَاءً صَالِحاً بِالنِّعْمَةِ، يُعَزِّي قُلُوبَكُمْ وَيُثَبِّتُكُمْ فِي كُلِّ كَلاَمٍ وَعَمَلٍ صَالِحٍ. أَخِيراً أَيُّهَا الإِخْوَةُ صَلُّوا لأَجْلِنَا، لِكَيْ تَجْرِيَ كَلِمَةُ الرَّبِّ وَتَتَمَجَّدَ، كَمَا عِنْدَكُمْ أَيْضاً، وَلِكَيْ نُنْقَذَ مِنَ النَّاسِ الأَرْدِيَاءِ الأَشْرَارِ. لأَنَّ الإِيمَانَ لَيْسَ لِلْجَمِيعِ.
But the Lord is faithful, who will establish you and guard you from the evil one. And we have confidence in the Lord concerning you, both that you do and will do the things we command you. Now may the Lord direct your hearts into the love of God and into the patience of Christ.
أَمِينٌ هُوَ الرَّبُّ الَّذِي سَيُثَبِّتُكُمْ وَيَحْفَظُكُمْ مِنَ الشِّرِّيرِ. وَنَثِقُ بِالرَّبِّ مِنْ جِهَتِكُمْ أَنَّكُمْ تَفْعَلُونَ مَا نُوصِيكُمْ بِهِ وَسَتَفْعَلُونَ أَيْضاً. وَالرَّبُّ يَهْدِي قُلُوبَكُمْ إِلَى مَحَبَّةِ اللهِ وَإِلَى صَبْرِ الْمَسِيحِ.
Catholic Epistle:
(1 John 4:7-13)
1 يوحنا 4 : 7-13
Beloved, let us love one another, for love is of God; and everyone who loves is born of God and knows God. He who does not love does not know God, for God is love. In this the love of God was manifested toward us, that God has sent His only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through Him.
أَيُّهَا الأَحِبَّاءُ، لِنُحِبَّ بَعْضُنَا بَعْضاً، لأَنَّ الْمَحَبَّةَ هِيَ مِنَ اللهِ، وَكُلُّ مَنْ يُحِبُّ فَقَدْ وُلِدَ مِنَ اللهِ وَيَعْرِفُ اللهَ. وَمَنْ لاَ يُحِبُّ لَمْ يَعْرِفِ اللهَ، لأَنَّ اللهَ مَحَبَّةٌ. بِهَذَا أُظْهِرَتْ مَحَبَّةُ اللهِ فِينَا: أَنَّ اللهَ قَدْ أَرْسَلَ ابْنَهُ الْوَحِيدَ إِلَى الْعَالَمِ لِكَيْ نَحْيَا بِهِ.
In this is love, not that we loved God, but that He loved us and sent His Son to be the propitiation for our sins. Beloved, if God so loved us, we also ought to love one another. No one has seen God at any time. If we love one another, God abides in us, and His love has been perfected in us. By this we know that we abide in Him, and He in us, because He has given us of His Spirit.
فِي هَذَا هِيَ الْمَحَبَّةُ: لَيْسَ أَنَّنَا نَحْنُ أَحْبَبْنَا اللهَ، بَلْ أَنَّهُ هُوَ أَحَبَّنَا، وَأَرْسَلَ ابْنَهُ كَفَّارَةً لِخَطَايَانَا.أَيُّهَا الأَحِبَّاءُ، إِنْ كَانَ اللهُ قَدْ أَحَبَّنَا هَكَذَا، يَنْبَغِي لَنَا أَيْضاً أَنْ يُحِبَّ بَعْضُنَا بَعْضاً. اَللهُ لَمْ يَنْظُرْهُ أَحَدٌ قَطُّ. إِنْ أَحَبَّ بَعْضُنَا بَعْضاً فَاللهُ يَثْبُتُ فِينَا، وَمَحَبَّتُهُ قَدْ تَكَمَّلَتْ فِينَا. بِهَذَا نَعْرِفُ أَنَّنَا نَثْبُتُ فِيهِ وَهُوَ فِينَا: أَنَّهُ قَدْ أَعْطَانَا مِنْ رُوحِهِ.
Acts:
(Acts 14:8-23)
اعمال 14 : 8-23
And in Lystra a certain man without strength in his feet was sitting, a cripple from his mother's womb, who had never walked. This man heard Paul speaking. Paul, observing him intently and seeing that he had faith to be healed, said with a loud voice, "Stand up straight on your feet!" And he leaped and walked. Now when the people saw what Paul had done, they raised their voices, saying in the Lycaonian language, "The gods have come down to us in the likeness of men!" And Barnabas they called Zeus, and Paul, Hermes, because he was the chief speaker.
وَكَانَ يَجْلِسُ فِي لِسْتِرَةَ رَجُلٌ عَاجِزُ الرِّجْلَيْنِ مُقْعَدٌ مِنْ بَطْنِ أُمِّهِ وَلَمْ يَمْشِ قَطُّ. هَذَا كَانَ يَسْمَعُ بُولُسَ يَتَكَلَّمُ فَشَخَصَ إِلَيْهِ وَإِذْ رَأَى أَنَّ لَهُ إِيمَاناً لِيُشْفَى قَالَ بِصَوْتٍ عَظِيمٍ: «قُمْ عَلَى رِجْلَيْكَ مُنْتَصِباً». فَوَثَبَ وَصَارَ يَمْشِي. فَالْجُمُوعُ لَمَّا رَأَوْا مَا فَعَلَ بُولُسُ رَفَعُوا صَوْتَهُمْ بِلُغَةِ لِيكَأُونِيَّةَ قَائِلِينَ: «إِنَّ الآلِهَةَ تَشَبَّهُوا بِالنَّاسِ وَنَزَلُوا إِلَيْنَا». فَكَانُوا يَدْعُونَ بَرْنَابَا «زَفْسَ» وَبُولُسَ «هَرْمَسَ» إِذْ كَانَ هُوَ الْمُتَقَدِّمَ فِي الْكَلاَمِ.
Then the priest of Zeus, whose temple was in front of their city, brought oxen and garlands to the gates, intending to sacrifice with the multitudes. But when the apostles Barnabas and Paul heard this, they tore their clothes and ran in among the multitude, crying out and saying, "Men, why are you doing these things?
فَأَتَى كَاهِنُ زَفْسَ الَّذِي كَانَ قُدَّامَ الْمَدِينَةِ بِثِيرَانٍ وَأَكَالِيلَ عِنْدَ الأَبْوَابِ مَعَ الْجُمُوعِ وَكَانَ يُرِيدُ أَنْ يَذْبَحَ. فَلَمَّا سَمِعَ الرَّسُولاَنِ بَرْنَابَا وَبُولُسُ مَزَّقَا ثِيَابَهُمَا وَانْدَفَعَا إِلَى الْجَمْعِ صَارِخَيْنِ: «أَيُّهَا الرِّجَالُ لِمَاذَا تَفْعَلُونَ هَذَا؟
We also are men with the same nature as you, and preach to you that you should turn from these useless things to the living God, who made the heaven, the earth, the sea, and all things that are in them, who in bygone generations allowed all nations to walk in their own ways. Nevertheless He did not leave Himself without witness, in that He did good, gave us rain from heaven and fruitful seasons, filling our hearts with food and gladness."
نَحْنُ أَيْضاً بَشَرٌ تَحْتَ آلاَمٍ مِثْلُكُمْ نُبَشِّرُكُمْ أَنْ تَرْجِعُوا مِنْ هَذِهِ الأَبَاطِيلِ إِلَى الإِلَهِ الْحَيِّ الَّذِي خَلَقَ السَّمَاءَ وَالأَرْضَ وَالْبَحْرَ وَكُلَّ مَا فِيهَا الَّذِي فِي الأَجْيَالِ الْمَاضِيَةِ تَرَكَ جَمِيعَ الْأُمَمِ يَسْلُكُونَ فِي طُرُقِهِمْ - مَعَ أَنَّهُ لَمْ يَتْرُكْ نَفْسَهُ بِلاَ شَاهِدٍ - وَهُوَ يَفْعَلُ خَيْراً يُعْطِينَا مِنَ السَّمَاءِ أَمْطَاراً وَأَزْمِنَةً مُثْمِرَةً وَيَمْلأُ قُلُوبَنَا طَعَاماً وَسُرُوراً».
And with these sayings they could scarcely restrain the multitudes from sacrificing to them. Then Jews from Antioch and Iconium came there; and having persuaded the multitudes, they stoned Paul and dragged him out of the city, supposing him to be dead. However, when the disciples gathered around him, he rose up and went into the city. And the next day he departed with Barnabas to Derbe.
وَبِقَوْلِهِمَا هَذَا كَفَّا الْجُمُوعَ بِالْجَهْدِ عَنْ أَنْ يَذْبَحُوا لَهُمَا. ثُمَّ أَتَى يَهُودٌ مِنْ أَنْطَاكِيَةَ وَإِيقُونِيَةَ وَأَقْنَعُوا الْجُمُوعَ فَرَجَمُوا بُولُسَ وَجَرُّوهُ خَارِجَ الْمَدِينَةِ ظَانِّينَ أَنَّهُ قَدْ مَاتَ. وَلَكِنْ إِذْ أَحَاطَ بِهِ التَّلاَمِيذُ قَامَ وَدَخَلَ الْمَدِينَةَ وَفِي الْغَدِ خَرَجَ مَعَ بَرْنَابَا إِلَى دَرْبَةَ.
And when they had preached the gospel to that city and made many disciples, they returned to Lystra, Iconium, and Antioch, strengthening the souls of the disciples, exhorting them to continue in the faith, and saying, "We must through many tribulations enter the kingdom of God." So when they had appointed elders in every church, and prayed with fasting, they commended them to the Lord in whom they had believed.
فَبَشَّرَا فِي تِلْكَ الْمَدِينَةِ وَتَلْمَذَا كَثِيرِينَ ثُمَّ رَجَعَا إِلَى لِسْتِرَةَ وَإِيقُونِيَةَ وَأَنْطَاكِيَةَ يُشَدِّدَانِ أَنْفُسَ التَّلاَمِيذِ وَيَعِظَانِهِمْ أَنْ يَثْبُتُوا فِي الإِيمَانِ وَأَنَّهُ بِضِيقَاتٍ كَثِيرَةٍ يَنْبَغِي أَنْ نَدْخُلَ مَلَكُوتَ اللهِ. وَانْتَخَبَا لَهُمْ قُسُوساً فِي كُلِّ كَنِيسَةٍ ثُمَّ صَلَّيَا بِأَصْوَامٍ وَاسْتَوْدَعَاهُمْ لِلرَّبِّ الَّذِي كَانُوا قَدْ آمَنُوا بِهِ.
Psalm:
(Psalm 117: 14-16)
مزامير 118 : 14-16
The LORD is my strength and song, and has become my salvation. The voice of exultation and salvation is in the tabernacles of the righteous. The right hand of the LORD has wrought mightily. The right hand of the LORD has exalted me. The right hand of the LORD has wrought powerfully.
قُوَّتِي وَتَرَنُّمِي الرَّبُّ وَقَدْ صَارَ لِي خَلاَصاً. صَوْتُ تَرَنُّمٍ وَخَلاَصٍ فِي خِيَامِ الصِّدِّيقِينَ. يَمِينُ الرَّبِّ صَانِعَةٌ بِبَأْسٍ. يَمِينُ الرَّبِّ مُرْتَفِعَةٌ. يَمِينُ الرَّبِّ صَانِعَةٌ بِبَأْسٍ.
Gospel:
(John 12:35-50)
يوحنا 12 : 35-50
Then Jesus said to them, "A little while longer the light is with you. Walk while you have the light, lest darkness overtake you; he who walks in darkness does not know where he is going. While you have the light, believe in the light, that you may become sons of light."
فَقَالَ لَهُمْ يَسُوعُ: «النُّورُ مَعَكُمْ زَمَاناً قَلِيلاً بَعْدُ فَسِيرُوا مَا دَامَ لَكُمُ النُّورُ لِئَلَّا يُدْرِكَكُمُ الظّلاَمُ. وَالَّذِي يَسِيرُ فِي الظّلاَمِ لاَ يَعْلَمُ إِلَى أَيْنَ يَذْهَبُ. مَا دَامَ لَكُمُ النُّورُ آمِنُوا بِالنُّورِ لِتَصِيرُوا أَبْنَاءَ النُّورِ».
These things Jesus spoke, and departed, and was hidden from them. But although He had done so many signs before them, they did not believe in Him, that the word of Isaiah the prophet might be fulfilled, which he spoke:
تَكَلَّمَ يَسُوعُ بِهَذَا ثُمَّ مَضَى وَاخْتَفَى عَنْهُمْ. وَمَعَ أَنَّهُ كَانَ قَدْ صَنَعَ أَمَامَهُمْ آيَاتٍ هَذَا عَدَدُهَا لَمْ يُؤْمِنُوا بِهِ لِيَتِمَّ قَوْلُ إِشَعْيَاءَ النَّبِيِّ:
"Lord, who has believed our report? And to whom has the arm of the LORD been revealed?" Therefore they could not believe, because Isaiah said again:
«يَا رَبُّ مَنْ صَدَّقَ خَبَرَنَا وَلِمَنِ اسْتُعْلِنَتْ ذِرَاعُ الرَّبِّ؟» لِهَذَا لَمْ يَقْدِرُوا أَنْ يُؤْمِنُوا. لأَنَّ إِشَعْيَاءَ قَالَ أَيْضاً:
"He has blinded their eyes and hardened their hearts, lest they should see with their eyes, lest they should understand with their hearts and turn, so that I should heal them." These things Isaiah said when he saw His glory and spoke of Him. Nevertheless even among the rulers many believed in Him, but because of the Pharisees they did not confess Him, lest they should be put out of the synagogue; for they loved the praise of men more than the praise of God.
«قَدْ أَعْمَى عُيُونَهُمْ وَأَغْلَظَ قُلُوبَهُمْ لِئَلَّا يُبْصِرُوا بِعُيُونِهِمْ وَيَشْعُرُوا بِقُلُوبِهِمْ وَيَرْجِعُوا فَأَشْفِيَهُمْ». قَالَ إِشَعْيَاءُ هَذَا حِينَ رَأَى مَجْدَهُ وَتَكَلَّمَ عَنْهُ. وَلَكِنْ مَعَ ذَلِكَ آمَنَ بِهِ كَثِيرُونَ مِنَ الرُّؤَسَاءِ أَيْضاً غَيْرَ أَنَّهُمْ لِسَبَبِ الْفَرِّيسِيِّينَ لَمْ يَعْتَرِفُوا بِهِ لِئَلَّا يَصِيرُوا خَارِجَ الْمَجْمَعِ لأَنَّهُمْ أَحَبُّوا مَجْدَ النَّاسِ أَكْثَرَ مِنْ مَجْدِ اللَّهِ.
Then Jesus cried out and said, "He who believes in Me, believes not in Me but in Him who sent Me. And he who sees Me sees Him who sent Me. I have come as a light into the world, that whoever believes in Me should not abide in darkness. And if anyone hears My words and does not believe, I do not judge him; for I did not come to judge the world but to save the world.
فَنَادَى يَسُوعُ: «الَّذِي يُؤْمِنُ بِي لَيْسَ يُؤْمِنُ بِي بَلْ بِالَّذِي أَرْسَلَنِي. وَالَّذِي يَرَانِي يَرَى الَّذِي أَرْسَلَنِي. أَنَا قَدْ جِئْتُ نُوراً إِلَى الْعَالَمِ حَتَّى كُلُّ مَنْ يُؤْمِنُ بِي لاَ يَمْكُثُ فِي الظُّلْمَةِ. وَإِنْ سَمِعَ أَحَدٌ كلاَمِي وَلَمْ يُؤْمِنْ فَأَنَا لاَ أَدِينُهُ لأَنِّي لَمْ آتِ لأَدِينَ الْعَالَمَ بَلْ لِأُخَلِّصَ الْعَالَمَ.
He who rejects Me, and does not receive My words, has that which judges him--the word that I have spoken will judge him in the last day. For I have not spoken on My own authority; but the Father who sent Me gave Me a command, what I should say and what I should speak. And I know that His command is everlasting life. Therefore, whatever I speak, just as the Father has told Me, so I speak."
مَنْ رَذَلَنِي وَلَمْ يَقْبَلْ كلاَمِي فَلَهُ مَنْ يَدِينُهُ. اَلْكلاَمُ الَّذِي تَكَلَّمْتُ بِهِ هُوَ يَدِينُهُ فِي الْيَوْمِ الأَخِيرِ لأَنِّي لَمْ أَتَكَلَّمْ مِنْ نَفْسِي لَكِنَّ الآبَ الَّذِي أَرْسَلَنِي هُوَ أَعْطَانِي وَصِيَّةً: مَاذَا أَقُولُ وَبِمَاذَا أَتَكَلَّمُ. وَأَنَا أَعْلَمُ أَنَّ وَصِيَّتَهُ هِيَ حَيَاةٌ أَبَدِيَّةٌ. فَمَا أَتَكَلَّمُ أَنَا بِهِ فَكَمَا قَالَ لِي الآبُ هَكَذَا أَتَكَلَّمُ».
