6:16-23

٦ : ١٦ − ٢٣

*And when evening was come, his disciples went down to the sea. And when they had gone up into a ship, they went over the sea to Capharnaum; and it was now dark, and Jesus was not come unto them. And the sea arose, by reason of a great wind that blew. When they had rowed therefore about five and twenty or thirty furlongs, they see Jesus walking upon the sea, and drawing nigh to the ship, and they were afraid. But he saith to them: It is I; be not afraid. They were willing therefore to take him into the ship; and presently the ship was at the land to which they were going. The next day, the multitude that stood on the other side of the sea, saw that there was no other ship there but one, and that Jesus had not entered into the ship with his disciples, but that his disciples were gone away alone. But other ships came in from Tiberias; nigh unto the place where they had eaten the bread, the Lord giving thanks. Glory be to God forever.

وَلَمَّا كَانَ الْمَسَاءُ نَزَلَ تَلاَمِيذُهُ إِلَى الْبَحْرِ، فَدَخَلُوا السَّفِينَةَ وَكَانُوا يَذْهَبُونَ إِلَى عَبْرِ الْبَحْرِ إِلَى كَفْرِنَاحُومَ. وَكَانَ الظَّلاَمُ قَدْ أَقْبَلَ، وَلَمْ يَكُنْ يَسُوعُ قَدْ أَتَى إِلَيْهِمْ. وَهَاجَ الْبَحْرُ مِنْ رِيحٍ عَظِيمَةٍ تَهُبُّ. فَلَمَّا كَانُوا قَدْ جَذَّفُوا نَحْوَ خَمْسٍ وَعِشْرِينَ أَوْ ثَلاَثِينَ غَلْوَةً، نَظَرُوا يَسُوعَ مَاشِيًا عَلَى الْبَحْرِ مُقْتَرِبًا مِنَ السَّفِينَةِ، فَخَافُوا. فَقَالَ لَهُمْ:«أَنَا هُوَ، لاَ تَخَافُوا!». فَرَضُوا أَنْ يَقْبَلُوهُ فِي السَّفِينَةِ. وَلِلْوَقْتِ صَارَتِ السَّفِينَةُ إِلَى الأَرْضِ الَّتِي كَانُوا ذَاهِبِينَ إِلَيْهَا. وَفِي الْغَدِ لَمَّا رَأَى الْجَمْعُ الَّذِينَ كَانُوا وَاقِفِينَ فِي عَبْرِ الْبَحْرِ أَنَّهُ لَمْ تَكُنْ هُنَاكَ سَفِينَةٌ أُخْرَى سِوَى وَاحِدَةٍ، وَهِيَ تِلْكَ الَّتِي دَخَلَهَا تَلاَمِيذُهُ، وَأَنَّ يَسُوعَ لَمْ يَدْخُلِ السَّفِينَةَ مَعَ تَلاَمِيذِهِ بَلْ مَضَى تَلاَمِيذُهُ وَحْدَهُمْ. غَيْرَ أَنَّهُ جَاءَتْ سُفُنٌ مِنْ طَبَرِيَّةَ إِلَى قُرْبِ الْمَوْضِعِ الَّذِي أَكَلُوا فِيهِ الْخُبْزَ، إِذْ شَكَرَ الرَّبُّ. وَالْمَجْدُ لِلَّهِ دَائِماً.

6:24-33

٦ : ٢٤ − ٣٣

*When therefore the multitude saw that Jesus was not there, nor his disciples, they took shipping, and came to Capharnaum, seeking for Jesus. And when they had found him on the other side of the sea, they said to him: Rabbi, when camest thou hither? Jesus answered them, and said: Amen, amen I say to you, you seek me, not because you have seen miracles, but because you did eat of the loaves, and were filled. Labour not for the meat which perisheth, but for that which endureth unto life everlasting, which the Son of man will give you. For him hath God, the Father, sealed. They said therefore unto him: What shall we do, that we may work the works of God? Jesus answered, and said to them: This is the work of God, that you believe in him whom he hath sent. They said therefore to him: What sign therefore dost thou shew, that we may see, and may believe thee? What dost thou work? Our fathers did eat manna in the desert, as it is written: He gave them bread from heaven to eat. Then Jesus said to them: Amen, amen I say to you; Moses gave you not bread from heaven, but my Father giveth you the true bread from heaven. For the bread of God is that which cometh down from heaven, and giveth life to the world. Glory be to God forever.

فَلَمَّا رَأَى الْجَمْعُ أَنَّ يَسُوعَ لَيْسَ هُوَ هُنَاكَ وَلاَ تَلاَمِيذُهُ، دَخَلُوا هُمْ أَيْضًا السُّفُنَ وَجَاءُوا إِلَى كَفْرِنَاحُومَ يَطْلُبُونَ يَسُوعَ. وَلَمَّا وَجَدُوهُ فِي عَبْرِ الْبَحْرِ، قَالُوا لَهُ:«يَا مُعَلِّمُ، مَتَى صِرْتَ هُنَا؟» أَجَابَهُمْ يَسُوعُ وَقَالَ:«الْحَقَّ الْحَقَّ أَقُولُ لَكُمْ: أَنْتُمْ تَطْلُبُونَنِي لَيْسَ لأَنَّكُمْ رَأَيْتُمْ آيَاتٍ، بَلْ لأَنَّكُمْ أَكَلْتُمْ مِنَ الْخُبْزِ فَشَبِعْتُمْ. اِعْمَلُوا لاَ لِلطَّعَامِ الْبَائِدِ، بَلْ لِلطَّعَامِ الْبَاقِي لِلْحَيَاةِ الأَبَدِيَّةِ الَّذِي يُعْطِيكُمُ ابْنُ الإِنْسَانِ، لأَنَّ هذَا اللهُ الآبُ قَدْ خَتَمَهُ». فَقَالُوا لَهُ:«مَاذَا نَفْعَلُ حَتَّى نَعْمَلَ أَعْمَالَ اللهِ؟» أَجَابَ يَسُوعُ وَقَالَ لَهُمْ:«هذَا هُوَ عَمَلُ اللهِ: أَنْ تُؤْمِنُوا بِالَّذِي هُوَ أَرْسَلَهُ». فَقَالُوا لَهُ:«فَأَيَّةَ آيَةٍ تَصْنَعُ لِنَرَى وَنُؤْمِنَ بِكَ؟ مَاذَا تَعْمَلُ؟ آبَاؤُنَا أَكَلُوا الْمَنَّ فِي الْبَرِّيَّةِ، كَمَا هُوَ مَكْتُوبٌ: أَنَّهُ أَعْطَاهُمْ خُبْزًا مِنَ السَّمَاءِ لِيَأْكُلُوا». فَقَالَ لَهُمْ يَسُوعُ:«الْحَقَّ الْحَقَّ أَقُولُ لَكُمْ: لَيْسَ مُوسَى أَعْطَاكُمُ الْخُبْزَ مِنَ السَّمَاءِ، بَلْ أَبِي يُعْطِيكُمُ الْخُبْزَ الْحَقِيقِيَّ مِنَ السَّمَاءِ، لأَنَّ خُبْزَ اللهِ هُوَ النَّازِلُ مِنَ السَّمَاءِ الْوَاهِبُ حَيَاةً لِلْعَالَمِ». وَالْمَجْدُ لِلَّهِ دَائِماً.

The Pauline Epistle from Ephesians

البولس من أَفَسُسَ

2:19-3:10

٢ : ١٩ − ٣ : ١٠

*Now therefore you are no more strangers and foreigners; but you are fellow citizens with the saints, and the domestics of God, Built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief corner stone: In whom all the building, being framed together, groweth up into an holy temple in the Lord. In whom you also are built together into an habitation of God in the Spirit. The mystery hidden from former ages was discovered to the apostle, to be imparted to the Gentiles. He prays that they may be strengthened in God. For this cause, I Paul, the prisoner of Jesus Christ, for you Gentiles; If yet you have heard of the dispensation of the grace of God which is given me towards you: How that, according to revelation, the mystery has been made known to me, as I have written above in a few words; As you reading, may understand my knowledge in the mystery of Christ, Which in other generations was not known to the sons of men, as it is now revealed to his holy apostles and prophets in the Spirit: That the Gentiles should be fellow heirs, and of the same body, and co-partners of his promise in Christ Jesus, by the gospel: Of which I am made a minister, according to the gift of the grace of God, which is given to me according to the operation of his power: To me, the least of all the saints, is given this grace, to preach among the Gentiles, the unsearchable riches of Christ, And to enlighten all men, that they may see what is the dispensation of the mystery which hath been hidden from eternity in God, who created all things: That the manifold wisdom of God may be made known to the principalities and powers in heavenly places through the church, The grace of God the Father be with you all. Amen.

فَلَسْتُمْ إِذًا بَعْدُ غُرَبَاءَ وَنُزُلاً، بَلْ رَعِيَّةٌ مَعَ الْقِدِّيسِينَ وَأَهْلِ بَيْتِ اللهِ، مَبْنِيِّينَ عَلَى أَسَاسِ الرُّسُلِ وَالأَنْبِيَاءِ، وَيَسُوعُ الْمَسِيحُ نَفْسُهُ حَجَرُ الزَّاوِيَةِ، الَّذِي فِيهِ كُلُّ الْبِنَاءِ مُرَكَّبًا مَعًا، يَنْمُو هَيْكَلاً مُقَدَّسًا فِي الرَّبِّ. الَّذِي فِيهِ أَنْتُمْ أَيْضًا مَبْنِيُّونَ مَعًا، مَسْكَنًا ِللهِ فِي الرُّوحِ. بِسَبَبِ هذَا أَنَا بُولُسُ، أَسِيرُ الْمَسِيحِ يَسُوعَ لأَجْلِكُمْ أَيُّهَا الأُمَمُ، إِنْ كُنْتُمْ قَدْ سَمِعْتُمْ بِتَدْبِيرِ نِعْمَةِ اللهِ الْمُعْطَاةِ لِي لأَجْلِكُمْ. أَنَّهُ بِإِعْلاَنٍ عَرَّفَنِي بِالسِّرِّ. كَمَا سَبَقْتُ فَكَتَبْتُ بِالإِيجَازِ. الَّذِي بِحَسَبِهِ حِينَمَا تَقْرَأُونَهُ، تَقْدِرُونَ أَنْ تَفْهَمُوا دِرَايَتِي بِسِرِّ الْمَسِيحِ. الَّذِي فِي أَجْيَال أُخَرَ لَمْ يُعَرَّفْ بِهِ بَنُو الْبَشَرِ، كَمَا قَدْ أُعْلِنَ الآنَ لِرُسُلِهِ الْقِدِّيسِينَ وَأَنْبِيَائِهِ بِالرُّوحِ: أَنَّ الأُمَمَ شُرَكَاءُ فِي الْمِيرَاثِ وَالْجَسَدِ وَنَوَالِ مَوْعِدِهِ فِي الْمَسِيحِ بِالإِنْجِيلِ. الَّذِي صِرْتُ أَنَا خَادِمًا لَهُ حَسَبَ مَوْهِبَةِ نِعْمَةِ اللهِ الْمُعْطَاةِ لِي حَسَبَ فِعْلِ قُوَّتِهِ. لِي أَنَا أَصْغَرَ جَمِيعِ الْقِدِّيسِينَ، أُعْطِيَتْ هذِهِ النِّعْمَةُ، أَنْ أُبَشِّرَ بَيْنَ الأُمَمِ بِغِنَى الْمَسِيحِ الَّذِي لاَ يُسْتَقْصَى، وَأُنِيرَ الْجَمِيعَ فِي مَا هُوَ شَرِكَةُ السِّرِّ الْمَكْتُومِ مُنْذُ الدُّهُورِ فِي اللهِ خَالِقِ الْجَمِيعِ بِيَسُوعَ الْمَسِيحِ. لِكَيْ يُعَرَّفَ الآنَ عِنْدَ الرُّؤَسَاءِ وَالسَّلاَطِينِ فِي السَّمَاوِيَّاتِ، بِوَاسِطَةِ الْكَنِيسَةِ، بِحِكْمَةِ اللهِ الْمُتَنَوِّعَةِ، نعمةُ اللَّهِ الآبِ فَلْتَحِلَّ عَلَى أرواحِنا يا آبائي وإخْوَتي. آمين.

The Catholic Epistle from 1 John

الكاثوليكون من يوحنا الأولى

5:10-20

٥ : ١٠ − ٢٠

*He that believeth in the Son of God, hath the testimony of God in himself. He that believeth not the Son, maketh him a liar: because he believeth not in the testimony which God hath testified of his Son. And this is the testimony, that God hath given to us eternal life. And this life is in his Son. He that hath the Son, hath life. He that hath not the Son, hath not life. These things I write to you, that you may know that you have eternal life, you who believe in the name of the Son of God. And this is the confidence which we have towards him: That, whatsoever we shall ask according to his will, he heareth us. And we know that he heareth us whatsoever we ask: we know that we have the petitions which we request of him. He that knoweth his brother to sin a sin which is not to death, let him ask, and life shall be given to him, who sinneth not to death. There is a sin unto death: for that I say not that any man ask. All iniquity is sin. And there is a sin unto death. We know that whosoever is born of God, sinneth not: but the generation of God preserveth him, and the wicked one toucheth him not. We know that we are of God, and the whole world is seated in wickedness. And we know that the Son of God is come: and he hath given us understanding that we may know the true God, and may be in his true Son. This is the true God and life eternal. Do not love the world or the things in the world. The world passes away, and its desires; but he who does the will of God abides forever. Amen.

مَنْ يُؤْمِنُ بِابْنِ اللهِ فَعِنْدَهُ الشَّهَادَةُ فِي نَفْسِهِ. مَنْ لاَ يُصَدِّقُ اللهَ، فَقَدْ جَعَلَهُ كَاذِبًا، لأَنَّهُ لَمْ يُؤْمِنْ بِالشَّهَادَةِ الَّتِي قَدْ شَهِدَ بِهَا اللهُ عَنِ ابْنِهِ. وَهذِهِ هِيَ الشَّهَادَةُ: أَنَّ اللهَ أَعْطَانَا حَيَاةً أَبَدِيَّةً، وَهذِهِ الْحَيَاةُ هِيَ فِي ابْنِهِ. مَنْ لَهُ الابْنُ فَلَهُ الْحَيَاةُ، وَمَنْ لَيْسَ لَهُ ابْنُ اللهِ فَلَيْسَتْ لَهُ الْحَيَاةُ. كَتَبْتُ هذَا إِلَيْكُمْ، أَنْتُمُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ بِاسْمِ ابْنِ اللهِ، لِكَيْ تَعْلَمُوا أَنَّ لَكُمْ حَيَاةً أَبَدِيَّةً، وَلِكَيْ تُؤْمِنُوا بِاسْمِ ابْنِ اللهِ. وَهذِهِ هِيَ الثِّقَةُ الَّتِي لَنَا عِنْدَهُ: أَنَّهُ إِنْ طَلَبْنَا شَيْئًا حَسَبَ مَشِيئَتِهِ يَسْمَعُ لَنَا. وَإِنْ كُنَّا نَعْلَمُ أَنَّهُ مَهْمَا طَلَبْنَا يَسْمَعُ لَنَا، نَعْلَمُ أَنَّ لَنَا الطِّلِبَاتِ الَّتِي طَلَبْنَاهَا مِنْهُ. إِنْ رَأَى أَحَدٌ أَخَاهُ يُخْطِئُ خَطِيَّةً لَيْسَتْ لِلْمَوْتِ، يَطْلُبُ، فَيُعْطِيهِ حَيَاةً لِلَّذِينَ يُخْطِئُونَ لَيْسَ لِلْمَوْتِ. تُوجَدُ خَطِيَّةٌ لِلْمَوْتِ. لَيْسَ لأَجْلِ هذِهِ أَقُولُ أَنْ يُطْلَبَ. كُلُّ إِثْمٍ هُوَ خَطِيَّةٌ، وَتُوجَدُ خَطِيَّةٌ لَيْسَتْ لِلْمَوْتِ. نَعْلَمُ أَنَّ كُلَّ مَنْ وُلِدَ مِنَ اللهِ لاَ يُخْطِئُ، بَلِ الْمَوْلُودُ مِنَ اللهِ يَحْفَظُ نَفْسَهُ، وَالشِّرِّيرُ لاَ يَمَسُّهُ. نَعْلَمُ أَنَّنَا نَحْنُ مِنَ اللهِ، وَالْعَالَمَ كُلَّهُ قَدْ وُضِعَ فِي الشِّرِّيرِ. وَنَعْلَمُ أَنَّ ابْنَ اللهِ قَدْ جَاءَ وَأَعْطَانَا بَصِيرَةً لِنَعْرِفَ الْحَقَّ. وَنَحْنُ فِي الْحَقِّ فِي ابْنِهِ يَسُوعَ الْمَسِيحِ. هذَا هُوَ الإِلهُ الْحَقُّ وَالْحَيَاةُ الأَبَدِيَّةُ. لا تُحِبُّوا العَالَمَ ولا الأشْيَاءَ التي في العَالَمِ، لأنَّ العَالَمَ يمْضِي وَشَهْوَتُهُ مَعَهُ، وأمَّا مَنْ يَعملُ مَشِيئَةَ اللهِ فإنه يَثْبُتُ إلى الأبدِ. آمين.

20:1-13

٢٠ : ١ − ١٣

*And after the tumult was ceased, Paul calling to him the disciples, and exhorting them, took his leave, and set forward to go into Macedonia. And when he had gone over those parts, and had exhorted them with many words, he came into Greece; Where, when he had spent three months, the Jews laid wait for him, as he was about to sail into Syria; so he took a resolution to return through Macedonia. And there accompanied him Sopater the son of Pyrrhus, of Berea; and of the Thessalonians, Aristarchus, and Secundus, and Gaius of Derbe, and Timothy; and of Asia, Tychicus and Trophimus. These going before, stayed for us at Troas. But we sailed from Philippi after the days of the Azymes, and came to them to Troas in five days, where we abode seven days. And on the first day of the week, when we were assembled to break bread, Paul discoursed with them, being to depart on the morrow: and he continued his speech until midnight. And there were a great number of lamps in the upper chamber where we were assembled. And a certain young man named Eutychus, sitting on the window, being oppressed with a deep sleep, (as Paul was long preaching,) by occasion of his sleep fell from the third loft down, and was taken up dead. To whom, when Paul had gone down, he laid himself upon him, and embracing him, said: Be not troubled, for his soul is in him. Then going up, and breaking bread and tasting, and having talked a long time to them, until daylight, so he departed. And they brought the youth alive, and were not a little comforted. But we, going aboard the ship, sailed to Assos, being there to take in Paul; for so he had appointed, himself purposing to travel by land. The word of the Lord shall grow, multiply, be mighty, and be confirmed, in the holy Church of God. Amen.

وَبَعْدَمَا انْتَهَى الشَّغَبُ، دَعَا بُولُسُ التَّلاَمِيذَ وَوَدَّعَهُمْ، وَخَرَجَ لِيَذْهَبَ إِلَى مَكِدُونِيَّةَ. وَلَمَّا كَانَ قَدِ اجْتَازَ فِي تِلْكَ النَّوَاحِي وَوَعَظَهُمْ بِكَلاَمٍ كَثِيرٍ، جَاءَ إِلَى هَلاَّسَ، فَصَرَفَ ثَلاَثَةَ أَشْهُرٍ. ثُمَّ إِذْ حَصَلَتْ مَكِيدَةٌ مِنَ الْيَهُودِ عَلَيْهِ، وَهُوَ مُزْمِعٌ أَنْ يَصْعَدَ إِلَى سُورِيَّةَ، صَارَ رَأْيٌ أَنْ يَرْجعَ عَلَى طَرِيقِ مَكِدُونِيَّةَ. فَرَافَقَهُ إِلَى أَسِيَّا سُوبَاتَرُسُ الْبِيرِيُّ، وَمِنْ أَهْلِ تَسَالُونِيكِي: أَرَسْتَرْخُسُ وَسَكُونْدُسُ وَغَايُوسُ الدَّرْبِيُّ وَتِيمُوثَاوُسُ. وَمِنْ أَهْلِ أَسِيَّا: تِيخِيكُسُ وَتُرُوفِيمُسُ. هؤُلاَءِ سَبَقُوا وَانْتَظَرُونَا فِي تَرُوَاسَ. وَأَمَّا نَحْنُ فَسَافَرْنَا فِي الْبَحْرِ بَعْدَ أَيَّامِ الْفَطِيرِ مِنْ فِيلِبِّي، وَوَافَيْنَاهُمْ فِي خَمْسَةِ أَيَّامٍ إِلَى تَرُوَاسَ، حَيْثُ صَرَفْنَا سَبْعَةَ أَيَّامٍ. وَفِي أَوَّلِ الأُسْبُوعِ إِذْ كَانَ التَّلاَمِيذُ مُجْتَمِعِينَ لِيَكْسِرُوا خُبْزًا، خَاطَبَهُمْ بُولُسُ وَهُوَ مُزْمِعٌ أَنْ يَمْضِيَ فِي الْغَدِ، وَأَطَالَ الْكَلاَمَ إِلَى نِصْفِ اللَّيْلِ. وَكَانَتْ مَصَابِيحُ كَثِيرَةٌ فِي الْعِلِّيَّةِ الَّتِي كَانُوا مُجْتَمِعِينَ فِيهَا. وَكَانَ شَابٌّ اسْمُهُ أَفْتِيخُوسُ جَالِسًا فِي الطَّاقَةِ مُتَثَقِّلاً بِنَوْمٍ عَمِيق. وَإِذْ كَانَ بُولُسُ يُخَاطِبُ خِطَابًا طَوِيلاً، غَلَبَ عَلَيْهِ النَّوْمُ فَسَقَطَ مِنَ الطَّبَقَةِ الثَّالِثَةِ إِلَى أَسْفَلُ، وَحُمِلَ مَيِّتًا. فَنَزَلَ بُولُسُ وَوَقَعَ عَلَيْهِ وَاعْتَنَقَهُ قَائِلاً:«لاَ تَضْطَرِبُوا! لأَنَّ نَفْسَهُ فِيهِ!». ثُمَّ صَعِدَ وَكَسَّرَ خُبْزًا وَأَكَلَ وَتَكَلَّمَ كَثِيرًا إِلَى الْفَجْرِ. وَهكَذَا خَرَجَ. وَأَتَوْا بِالْفَتَى حَيًّا، وَتَعَزَّوْا تَعْزِيَةً لَيْسَتْ بِقَلِيلَةٍ. وَأَمَّا نَحْنُ فَسَبَقْنَا إِلَى السَّفِينَةِ وَأَقْلَعْنَا إِلَى أَسُّوسَ، مُزْمِعِينَ أَنْ نَأْخُذَ بُولُسَ مِنْ هُنَاكَ، لأَنَّهُ كَانَ قَدْ رَتَّبَ هكَذَا مُزْمِعًا أَنْ يَمْشِيَ. لَمْ تَزَلْ كَلِمَةُ الرَّبِّ تَنْمُو وتَكْثُرُ وتَعْتَزُّ وتَثْبُتُ، في بِيعَةِ اللَّهِ الْمُقَدَّسَةِ. آمين.

6:35-45

٦ : ٣٥ − ٤٥

*And Jesus said to them: I am the bread of life: he that cometh to me shall not hunger: and he that believeth in me shall never thirst. But I said unto you, that you also have seen me, and you believe not. All that the Father giveth to me shall come to me; and him that cometh to me, I will not cast out. Because I came down from heaven, not to do my own will, but the will of him that sent me. Now this is the will of the Father who sent me: that of all that he hath given me, I should lose nothing; but should raise it up again in the last day. And this is the will of my Father that sent me: that every one who seeth the Son, and believeth in him, may have life everlasting, and I will raise him up in the last day. The Jews therefore murmured at him, because he had said: I am the living bread which came down from heaven. And they said: Is not this Jesus, the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we know? How then saith he, I came down from heaven? Jesus therefore answered, and said to them: Murmur not among yourselves. No man can come to me, except the Father, who hath sent me, draw him; and I will raise him up in the last day. It is written in the prophets: And they shall all be taught of God. Every one that hath heard of the Father, and hath learned, cometh to me. Glory be to God forever.

فَقَالَ لَهُمْ يَسُوعُ:«أَنَا هُوَ خُبْزُ الْحَيَاةِ. مَنْ يُقْبِلْ إِلَيَّ فَلاَ يَجُوعُ، وَمَنْ يُؤْمِنْ بِي فَلاَ يَعْطَشُ أَبَدًا. وَلكِنِّي قُلْتُ لَكُمْ: إِنَّكُمْ قَدْ رَأَيْتُمُونِي، وَلَسْتُمْ تُؤْمِنُونَ. كُلُّ مَا يُعْطِينِي الآبُ فَإِلَيَّ يُقْبِلُ، وَمَنْ يُقْبِلْ إِلَيَّ لاَ أُخْرِجْهُ خَارِجًا. لأَنِّي قَدْ نَزَلْتُ مِنَ السَّمَاءِ، لَيْسَ لأَعْمَلَ مَشِيئَتِي، بَلْ مَشِيئَةَ الَّذِي أَرْسَلَنِي. وَهذِهِ مَشِيئَةُ الآبِ الَّذِي أَرْسَلَنِي: أَنَّ كُلَّ مَا أَعْطَانِي لاَ أُتْلِفُ مِنْهُ شَيْئًا، بَلْ أُقِيمُهُ فِي الْيَوْمِ الأَخِيرِ. لأَنَّ هذِهِ هِيَ مَشِيئَةُ الَّذِي أَرْسَلَنِي: أَنَّ كُلَّ مَنْ يَرَى الابْنَ وَيُؤْمِنُ بِهِ تَكُونُ لَهُ حَيَاةٌ أَبَدِيَّةٌ، وَأَنَا أُقِيمُهُ فِي الْيَوْمِ الأَخِيرِ». فَكَانَ الْيَهُودُ يَتَذَمَّرُونَ عَلَيْهِ لأَنَّهُ قَالَ:«أَنَا هُوَ الْخُبْزُ الَّذِي نَزَلَ مِنَ السَّمَاءِ». وَقَالُوا: «أَلَيْسَ هذَا هُوَ يَسُوعَ بْنَ يُوسُفَ، الَّذِي نَحْنُ عَارِفُونَ بِأَبِيهِ وَأُمِّهِ؟ فَكَيْفَ يَقُولُ هذَا: إِنِّي نَزَلْتُ مِنَ السَّمَاءِ؟» فَأَجَابَ يَسُوعُ وَقَالَ لَهُمْ:«لاَ تَتَذَمَّرُوا فِيمَا بَيْنَكُمْ. لاَ يَقْدِرُ أَحَدٌ أَنْ يُقْبِلَ إِلَيَّ إِنْ لَمْ يَجْتَذِبْهُ الآبُ الَّذِي أَرْسَلَنِي، وَأَنَا أُقِيمُهُ فِي الْيَوْمِ الأَخِيرِ. إِنَّهُ مَكْتُوبٌ فِي الأَنْبِيَاءِ: وَيَكُونُ الْجَمِيعُ مُتَعَلِّمِينَ مِنَ اللهِ. فَكُلُّ مَنْ سَمِعَ مِنَ الآبِ وَتَعَلَّمَ يُقْبِلُ إِلَيَّ. وَالْمَجْدُ لِلَّهِ دَائِماً.
