يوحنَّا 6

١ 1 بَعْدَ ذلِكَ عَبَرَ يَسُوعُ بُحَيْرَةَ الْجَلِيلِ، أَيْ بُحَيْرَةَ طَبَرِيَّةَ، إِلَى الضَّفَّةِ الْمُقَابِلَةِ،

After this, Jesus crossed to the other side of the Sea of Galilee (that is, the Sea of Tiberias).

٢ 2 وَتَبِعَهُ جَمْعٌ كَبِيرٌ بَعْدَمَا رَأَوْا آيَاتِ شِفَائِهِ لِلْمَرْضَى.

A large crowd followed Him because they saw the signs He was performing on the sick.

٣ 3 وَصَعِدَ يَسُوعُ وَتَلامِيذُهُ إِلَى الْجَبَلِ وَجَلَسُوا.

Then Jesus went up on the mountain and sat down with His disciples.

٤ 4 وَكَانَ عِيدُ الْفِصْحِ الْيَهُودِيُّ قَدِ اقْتَرَبَ.

Now the Jewish Feast of the Passover was near.

٥ 5 وَإِذْ تَطَلَّعَ يَسُوعُ وَرَأَى جَمْعاً كَبِيراً قَادِماً نَحْوَهُ، قَالَ لِفِيلِبُّسَ: «مِنْ أَيْنَ نَشْتَرِي خُبْزاً لِنُطْعِمَ هؤُلاءِ كُلَّهُمْ؟»

When Jesus looked up and saw a large crowd coming toward Him, He said to Philip, “Where can we buy bread for these people to eat?”

٦ 6 وَقَدْ قَالَ هَذَا لِيَمْتَحِنَهُ، لأَنَّ يَسُوعَ كَانَ يَعْرِفُ مَا سَيَفْعَلُهُ.

But He was asking this to test him, for He knew what He was about to do.

٧ 7 فَأَجَابَهُ فِيلِبُّسُ: «حَتَّى لَوِ اشْتَرَيْنَا خُبْزاً بِمِئَتَيْ دِينَارٍ، لَمَا كَفَى لِيَحْصُلَ الْوَاحِدُ مِنْهُمْ عَلَى قِطْعَةٍ صَغِيرَةٍ!»

Philip answered, “Two hundred denarii would not buy enough bread for each of them to have a small piece.”

٨ 8 فَقَالَ لَهُ أَنْدَرَاوُسُ، أَخُو سِمْعَانَ بُطْرُسَ، وَهُوَ أَحَدُ التَّلامِيذِ:

One of His disciples, Andrew, Simon Peter’s brother, said to Him,

٩ 9 «هُنَا وَلَدٌ مَعَهُ خَمْسَةُ أَرْغِفَةِ شَعِيرٍ وَسَمَكَتَانِ صَغِيرَتَانِ. وَلكِنْ مَا هذِهِ لِمِثْلِ هَذَا الْجَمْعِ الْكَبِيرِ؟»

“Here is a boy with five barley loaves and two small fish. But what difference will these make among so many?”

١٠ 10 فَقَالَ يَسُوعُ: «أَجْلِسُوهُمْ!» وَكَانَ هُنَاكَ عُشْبٌ كَثِيرٌ. فَجَلَسَ الرِّجَالُ، وَكَانَ عَدَدُهُمْ نَحْوَ خَمْسَةِ آلافٍ.

“Have the people sit down,” Jesus said. Now there was plenty of grass in that place, so the men sat down, about five thousand of them.

١١ 11 فَأَخَذَ يَسُوعُ الأَرْغِفَةَ وَشَكَرَ، ثُمَّ وَزَّعَ مِنْهَا عَلَى الْجَالِسِينَ، بِقَدْرِ مَا أَرَادُوا. وَكَذلِكَ فَعَلَ بِالسَّمَكَتَيْنِ.

Then Jesus took the loaves and the fish, gave thanks, and distributed to those who were seated as much as they wanted.

١٢ 12 فَلَمَّا شَبِعُوا، قَالَ لِتَلامِيذِهِ: «اجْمَعُوا كِسَرَ الْخُبْزِ الَّتِي فَضَلَتْ لِكَيْ لَا يَضِيعَ شَيْءٌ!»

And when everyone was full, He said to His disciples, “Gather the pieces that are left over, so that nothing will be wasted.”

١٣ 13 فَجَمَعُوهَا، وَمَلأُوا اثْنَتَيْ عَشْرَةَ قُفَّةً مِنْ كِسَرِ الْخُبْزِ الْفَاضِلَةِ عَنِ الآكِلِينَ مِنْ خَمْسَةِ أَرْغِفَةِ الشَّعِيرِ.

So they collected them and filled twelve baskets with the pieces of the five barley loaves left over by those who had eaten.

١٤ 14 فَلَمَّا رَأَى النَّاسُ الآيَةَ الَّتِي صَنَعَهَا يَسُوعُ قَالُوا: «حَقّاً، هَذَا هُوَ النَّبِيُّ الآتِي إِلَى الْعَالَمِ».

When the people saw the sign that Jesus had performed, they began to say, “Truly this is the Prophet who is to come into the world.”

١٥ 15 وَعَلِمَ يَسُوعُ أَنَّهُمْ عَلَى وَشْكِ أَنْ يَخْتَطِفُوهُ لِيُقِيمُوهُ مَلِكاً، فَعَادَ إِلَى الْجَبَلِ وَحْدَهُ.

Then Jesus, realizing that they were about to come and make Him king by force, withdrew again to a mountain by Himself.

١٦ 16 وَلَمَّا حَلَّ الْمَسَاءُ نَزَلَ تَلامِيذُهُ إِلَى الْبُحَيْرَةِ،

When evening came, His disciples went down to the sea,

١٧ 17 وَرَكِبُوا قَارِباً مُتَّجِهِينَ إِلَى كَفْرَنَاحُومَ فِي الضَّفَّةِ الْمُقَابِلَةِ مِنَ الْبُحَيْرَةِ. وَخَيَّمَ الظَّلامُ وَلَمْ يَكُنْ يَسُوعُ قَد لَحِقَ بِهِمْ.

got into a boat, and started across the sea to Capernaum. It was already dark, and Jesus had not yet gone out to them.

١٨ 18 وَهَبَّتْ عَاصِفَةٌ قَوِيَّةٌ، فَاضْطَرَبَتِ الْبُحَيْرَةُ.

A strong wind was blowing, and the sea grew agitated.

١٩ 19 وَبَعْدَمَا جَذَّفَ التَّلامِيذُ نَحْوَ ثَلاثَةِ أَمْيَالٍ أَوْ أَرْبَعَةٍ، رَأَوْا يَسُوعَ يَقْتَرِبُ مِنَ الْقَارِبِ مَاشِياً عَلَى مَاءِ الْبُحَيْرَةِ، فَاسْتَوْلَى عَلَيْهِمِ الْخَوْفُ،

When they had rowed about three or four miles, they saw Jesus approaching the boat, walking on the sea—and they were terrified.

٢٠ 20 فَشَجَّعَهُمْ قَائِلاً: «أَنَا هُوَ لَا تَخَافُوا!»

But Jesus spoke up: “It is I; do not be afraid.”

٢١ 21 فَمَا كَادُوا يَطْلُبُونَ مِنْهُ أَنْ يَصْعَدَ إِلَى الْقَارِبِ، حَتَّى وَصَلَ الْقَارِبُ إِلَى الْمَكَانِ الْمَقْصُودِ.

Then they were willing to take Him into the boat, and at once the boat reached the shore where they were heading.

٢٢ 22 وَفِي الْيَوْمِ التَّالِي، لَمْ يَجِدِ الْجَمْعُ الَّذِينَ بَاتُوا عَلَى الضَّفَّةِ الْمُقَابِلَةِ مِنَ الْبُحَيْرَةِ إِلّا قَارِباً وَاحِداً. وَكَانُوا يَعْرِفُونَ أَنَّ يَسُوعَ لَمْ يَرْكَبِ الْقَارِبَ مَعَ تَلامِيذِهِ (بِالأَمْسِ)، بَلِ اسْتَقَلَّهُ التَّلامِيذُ وَحْدَهُمْ.

The next day, the crowd that had remained on the other side of the sea realized that only one boat had been there, and that Jesus had not boarded it with His disciples, but they had gone away alone.

٢٣ 23 ثُمَّ جَاءَتْ قَوَارِبُ أُخْرَى مِنْ طَبَرِيَّةَ، وَرَسَتْ بِالْقُرْبِ مِنَ الْمَكَانِ الَّذِي أَكَلُوا فِيهِ الْخُبْزَ بَعْدَمَا شَكَرَ الرَّبُّ عَلَيْهِ.

However, some boats from Tiberias landed near the place where the people had eaten the bread after the Lord had given thanks.

٢٤ 24 فَلَمَّا لَمْ يَجِدِ الْجَمْعُ يَسُوعَ وَلا تَلامِيذَهُ هُنَاكَ، رَكِبُوا تِلْكَ الْقَوَارِبَ وَجَاءُوا إِلَى كَفْرَنَاحُومَ بَاحِثِينَ عَنْ يَسُوعَ.

So when the crowd saw that neither Jesus nor His disciples were there, they got into the boats and went to Capernaum to look for Him.

٢٥ 25 فَلَمَّا وَجَدُوهُ عَلَى الضَّفَّةِ الْمُقَابِلَةِ مِنَ الْبُحَيْرَةِ، قَالُوا لَهُ: «يَا مُعَلِّمُ، مَتَى وَصَلْتَ إِلَى هُنَا؟»

When they found Him on the other side of the sea, they asked Him, “Rabbi, when did You get here?”

٢٦ 26 أَجَابَهُمْ يَسُوعُ: «الْحَقَّ الْحَقَّ أَقُولُ لَكُمْ: أَنْتُمْ تَبْحَثُونَ عَنِّي لَا لأَنَّكُمْ رَأَيْتُمُ الآيَاتِ، بَلْ لأَنَّكُمْ أَكَلْتُمْ وَشَبِعْتُمْ مِنْ تِلْكَ الأَرْغِفَةِ.

Jesus replied, “Truly, truly, I tell you, it is not because you saw these signs that you are looking for Me, but because you ate the loaves and had your fill.

٢٧ 27 لَا تَسْعَوْا وَرَاءَ الطَّعَامِ الْفَانِي، بَلْ وَرَاءَ الطَّعَامِ الْبَاقِي إِلَى الْحَيَاةِ الأَبَدِيَّةِ، الَّذِي يُعْطِيكُمْ إِيَّاهُ ابْنُ الإِنْسَانِ، لأَنَّ هَذَا الطَّعَامَ قَدْ وَضَعَ اللهُ الآبُ خَتْمَهُ عَلَيْهِ». (aiōnios g166)

Do not work for food that perishes, but for food that endures to eternal life, which the Son of Man will give you. For on Him God the Father has placed His seal of approval.” (aiōnios g166)

٢٨ 28 فَسَأَلُوهُ: «مَاذَا نَفْعَلُ لِنَعْمَلَ مَا يَطْلُبُهُ اللهُ؟»

Then they inquired, “What must we do to perform the works of God?”

٢٩ 29 أَجَابَ يَسُوعُ: «الْعَمَلُ الَّذِي يَطْلُبُهُ اللهُ هُوَ أَنْ تُؤْمِنُوا بِمَنْ أَرْسَلَهُ».

Jesus replied, “The work of God is this: to believe in the One He has sent.”

٣٠ 30 فَقَالُوا لَهُ: «مَا الآيَةُ الَّتِي تَعْمَلُهَا لِنَرَاهَا وَنُؤْمِنَ بِكَ؟ مَاذَا تَقْدِرُ أَنْ تَعْمَلَ؟

So they asked Him, “What sign then will You perform, so that we may see it and believe You? What will You do?

٣١ 31 فَإِنَّ آبَاءَنَا أَكَلُوا الْمَنَّ فِي الْبَرِّيَّةِ كَمَا جَاءَ فِي الْكِتَابِ: أَعْطَاهُمْ مَنَّ السَّمَاءِ خُبْزاً لِيَأْكُلُوا!»

Our fathers ate the manna in the wilderness, as it is written: ‘He gave them bread from heaven to eat.’”

٣٢ 32 فَأَجَابَهُمْ يَسُوعُ: «الْحَقَّ الْحَقَّ أَقُولُ لَكُمْ: إِنَّ مُوسَى لَمْ يُعْطِكُمْ خُبْزاً مِنَ السَّمَاءِ، وَإِنَّمَا أَبِي هُوَ الَّذِي يُعْطِيكُمُ الآنَ خُبْزَ السَّمَاءِ الْحَقِيقِيَّ،

Jesus said to them, “Truly, truly, I tell you, it was not Moses who gave you the bread from heaven, but it is My Father who gives you the true bread from heaven.

٣٣ 33 فَخُبْزُ اللهِ هُوَ النَّازِلُ مِنَ السَّمَاءِ الْوَاهِبُ حَيَاةً لِلْعَالَمِ».

For the bread of God is He who comes down from heaven and gives life to the world.”

٣٤ 34 قَالُوا لَهُ: «يَا سَيِّدُ، أَعْطِنَا فِي كُلِّ حِينٍ هَذَا الْخُبْزَ».

“Sir,” they said, “give us this bread at all times.”

٣٥ 35 فَأَجَابَهُمْ يَسُوعُ: «أَنَا هُوَ خُبْزُ الْحَيَاةِ. فَالَّذِي يُقْبِلُ إِلَيَّ لَا يَجُوعُ، وَالَّذِي يُؤْمِنُ بِي لَا يَعْطَشُ أَبَداً.

Jesus answered, “I am the bread of life. Whoever comes to Me will never hunger, and whoever believes in Me will never thirst.

٣٦ 36 وَلكِنْ قُلْتُ لَكُمْ إِنَّكُمْ رَأَيْتُمُونِي وَلا تُؤْمِنُونَ،

But as I stated, you have seen Me and still you do not believe.

٣٧ 37 وَلكِنَّ كُلَّ مَا يَهَبُهُ الآبُ لِي سَيَأْتِي إِلَيَّ، وَمَنْ يَأْتِ إِلَيَّ لَا أَطْرَحْهُ إِلَى الْخَارِجِ أَبَداً،

Everyone the Father gives Me will come to Me, and the one who comes to Me I will never drive away.

٣٨ 38 فَقَدْ نَزَلْتُ مِنَ السَّمَاءِ، لَا لأُتِمَّ مَشِيئَتِي، بَلْ مَشِيئَةَ الَّذِي أَرْسَلَنِي.

For I have come down from heaven, not to do My own will, but to do the will of Him who sent Me.

٣٩ 39 وَمَشِيئَتُهُ هِيَ أَنْ لَا أَدَعَ أَحَدَاً مِمَّنْ وَهَبَهُمْ لِي يَهْلِكُ، بَلْ أُقِيمُهُ فِي الْيَوْمِ الأَخِيرِ.

And this is the will of Him who sent Me, that I shall lose none of those He has given Me, but raise them up at the last day.

٤٠ 40 نَعَمْ! إِنَّ مَشِيئَةَ أَبِي هِيَ أَنَّ كُلَّ مَنْ يَرَى الاِبْنَ وَيُؤْمِنُ بِهِ تَكُونُ لَهُ الْحَيَاةُ الأَبَدِيَّةُ، وَسَأُقِيمُهُ أَنَا فِي الْيَوْمِ الأَخِيرِ». (aiōnios g166)

For it is My Father’s will that everyone who looks to the Son and believes in Him shall have eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day.” (aiōnios g166)

٤١ 41 فَأَخَذَ الْيَهُودُ يَتَذَمَّرُونَ عَلَى يَسُوعَ لأَنَّهُ قَالَ: «أَنَا الْخُبْزُ الَّذِي نَزَلَ مِنَ السَّمَاءِ».

At this, the Jews began to grumble about Jesus because He had said, “I am the bread that came down from heaven.”

٤٢ 42 وَقَالُوا: «أَلَيْسَ هَذَا يَسُوعَ ابْنَ يُوسُفَ، الَّذِي نَعْرِفُ نَحْنُ أَبَاهُ وَأُمَّهُ، فَكَيْفَ يَقُولُ: إِنِّي نَزَلْتُ مِنَ السَّمَاءِ؟»

They were asking, “Is this not Jesus, the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we know? How then can He say, ‘I have come down from heaven?’”

٤٣ 43 فَأَجَابَهُمْ يَسُوعُ: «لا تَتَذَمَّرُوا فِيمَا بَيْنَكُمْ!

“Stop grumbling among yourselves,” Jesus replied.

٤٤ 44 لَا يَقْدِرُ أَحَدٌ أَنْ يَأْتِيَ إِلَيَّ إِلّا إِذَا اجْتَذَبَهُ الآبُ الَّذِي أَرْسَلَنِي. وَأَنَا أُقِيمُهُ فِي الْيَوْمِ الأَخِيرِ.

“No one can come to Me unless the Father who sent Me draws him, and I will raise him up at the last day.

٤٥ 45 جَاءَ فِي كُتُبِ الأَنْبِيَاءِ: سَيَتَعَلَّمُ الْجَمِيعُ مِنَ اللهِ. وَكُلُّ مَنْ يَسْمَعُ الآبَ وَيَتَعَلَّمُ مِنْهُ يَأْتِي إِلَيَّ.

It is written in the Prophets: ‘And they will all be taught by God.’ Everyone who has heard the Father and learned from Him comes to Me—

٤٦ 46 وَلَيْسَ مَعْنَى هَذَا أَنَّ أَحَداً رَأَى الآبَ: فَمَا رَآهُ إِلّا الَّذِي كَانَ مَعَ اللهِ. هُوَ وَحْدَهُ رَأَى الآبَ.

not that anyone has seen the Father except the One who is from God; only He has seen the Father.

٤٧ 47 الْحَقَّ الْحَقَّ أَقُولُ لَكُمْ: إِنَّ الَّذِي يُؤْمِنُ بِي فَلَهُ حَيَاةٌ أَبَدِيَّةٌ. (aiōnios g166)

Truly, truly, I tell you, he who believes has eternal life. (aiōnios g166)

٤٨ 48 أَنَا هُوَ خُبْزُ الْحَيَاةِ.

I am the bread of life.

٤٩ 49 أَكَلَ أَبَاؤُكُمُ الْمَنَّ فِي الْبَرِّيَّةِ ثُمَّ مَاتُوا،

Your fathers ate the manna in the wilderness, yet they died.

٥٠ 50 وَلكِنْ هَا هُنَا الْخُبْزُ النَّازِلُ مِنَ السَّمَاءِ لِيَأْكُلَ مِنْهُ الإِنْسَانُ فَلا يَمُوتُ.

This is the bread that comes down from heaven, so that anyone may eat of it and not die.

٥١ 51 أَنَا الْخُبْزُ الْحَيُّ الَّذِي نَزَلَ مِنَ السَّمَاءِ. إِنْ أَكَلَ أَحَدٌ مِنْ هَذَا الْخُبْزِ يَحْيَا إِلَى الأَبَدِ. وَالْخُبْزُ الَّذِي أُقَدِّمُهُ أَنَا، هُوَ جَسَدِي، أَبْذُلُهُ لِكَيْ يَحْيَا الْعَالَمُ». (aiōn g165)

I am the living bread that came down from heaven. If anyone eats of this bread, he will live forever. And this bread, which I will give for the life of the world, is My flesh.” (aiōn g165)

٥٢ 52 فَأَثَارَ هَذَا الْكَلامُ جِدَالاً عَنِيفاً بَيْنَ الْيَهُودِ، وَتَسَاءَلُوا: «كَيْفَ يَقْدِرُ هَذَا أَنْ يُعْطِيَنَا جَسَدَهُ لِنَأْكُلَهُ؟»

At this, the Jews began to argue among themselves, “How can this man give us His flesh to eat?”

٥٣ 53 فَأَجَابَهُمْ يَسُوعُ: «الْحَقَّ الْحَقَّ أَقُولُ لَكُمْ: إِذَا لَمْ تَأْكُلُوا جَسَدَ ابْنِ الإِنْسَانِ وَتَشْرَبُوا دَمَهُ فَلا حَيَاةَ لَكُمْ فِي دَاخِلِكُمْ.

So Jesus said to them, “Truly, truly, I tell you, unless you eat the flesh and drink the blood of the Son of Man, you have no life in you.

٥٤ 54 مَنْ يَأْكُلْ جَسَدِي وَيَشْرَبْ دَمِي، فَلَهُ حَيَاةٌ أَبَدِيَّةٌ، وَأَنَا أُقِيمُهُ فِي الْيَوْمِ الأَخِيرِ، (aiōnios g166)

Whoever eats My flesh and drinks My blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day. (aiōnios g166)

٥٥ 55 لأَنَّ جَسَدِي هُوَ الطَّعَامُ الْحَقِيقِيُّ، وَدَمِي هُوَ الشَّرَابُ الْحَقِيقِيُّ.

For My flesh is real food, and My blood is real drink.

٥٦ 56 وَكُلُّ مَنْ يَأْكُلْ جَسَدِي وَيَشْرَبْ دَمِي، يَثْبُتْ فِيَّ وَأَنَا فِيهِ.

Whoever eats My flesh and drinks My blood remains in Me, and I in him.

٥٧ 57 وَكَمَا أَنِّي أَحْيَا بِالآبِ الْحَيِّ الَّذِي أَرْسَلَنِي، فَكَذلِكَ يَحْيَا بِي مَنْ يَأْكُلُنِي.

Just as the living Father sent Me and I live because of the Father, so also the one who feeds on Me will live because of Me.

٥٨ 58 هَذَا هُوَ الْخُبْزُ الَّذِي نَزَلَ مِنَ السَّمَاءِ، وَهُوَ لَيْسَ كَالْمَنِّ الَّذِي أَكَلَهُ أَبَاؤُكُمْ ثُمَّ مَاتُوا. فَالَّذِي يَأْكُلُ هَذَا الْخُبْزَ يَحْيَا إِلَى الأَبَدِ». (aiōn g165)

This is the bread that came down from heaven. Unlike your fathers, who ate the manna and died, the one who eats this bread will live forever.” (aiōn g165)

٥٩ 59 هَذَا كُلُّهُ قَالَهُ يَسُوعُ فِي الْمَجْمَعِ وَهُوَ يُعَلِّمُ فِي كَفْرَنَاحُومَ.

Jesus said this while teaching in the synagogue in Capernaum.

٦٠ 60 فَلَمَّا سَمِعَهُ كَثِيرُونَ مِنْ تَلامِيذِهِ قَالُوا: «مَا أَصْعَبَ هَذَا الْكَلامَ! مَنْ يُطِيقُ سَمَاعَهُ؟»

On hearing it, many of His disciples said, “This is a difficult teaching. Who can accept it?”

٦١ 61 فَعَلِمَ يَسُوعُ فِي نَفْسِهِ أَنَّ تَلامِيذَهُ يَتَذَمَّرُونَ، فَسَأَلَهُمْ: «أَهَذَا يَبْعَثُ الشُّكُوكَ فِي نُفُوسِكُمْ؟

Aware that His disciples were grumbling about this teaching, Jesus asked them, “Does this offend you?

٦٢ 62 فَمَاذَا لَوْ رَأَيْتُمُ ابْنَ الإِنْسَانِ صَاعِداً إِلَى حَيْثُ كَانَ قَبْلاً؟

Then what will happen if you see the Son of Man ascend to where He was before?

٦٣ 63 الرُّوحُ هُوَ الَّذِي يُعْطِي الْحَيَاةَ، أَمَّا الْجَسَدُ فَلا يُفِيدُ شَيْئاً. الْكَلامُ الَّذِي كَلَّمْتُكُمْ بِهِ هُوَ رُوحٌ وَحَيَاةٌ.

The Spirit gives life; the flesh profits nothing. The words I have spoken to you are spirit and they are life.

٦٤ 64 وَلكِنَّ بَعْضاً مِنْكُمْ لَا يُؤْمِنُونَ!» فَقَدْ كَانَ يَسُوعُ مُنْذُ الْبَدْءِ يَعْرِفُ مَنْ هُمُ الَّذِينَ لَا يُؤْمِنُونَ بِهِ، وَمَنْ هُوَ الَّذِي سَيَخُونُهُ.

However, there are some of you who do not believe.” (For Jesus had known from the beginning which of them did not believe and who would betray Him.)

٦٥ 65 ثُمَّ قَالَ: «لِذلِكَ قُلْتُ لَكُمْ: لَا يَقْدِرُ أَحَدٌ أَنْ يَأْتِيَ إِلَيَّ إِلّا إِذَا وَهَبَهُ الآبُ ذلِكَ».

Then Jesus said, “This is why I told you that no one can come to Me unless the Father has granted it to him.”

٦٦ 66 مِنْ ذَلِكَ الْوَقْتِ هَجَرَهُ كَثِيرُونَ مِنْ أَتْبَاعِهِ، وَلَمْ يَعُودُوا يَتْبَعُونَهُ!

From that time on many of His disciples turned back and no longer walked with Him.

٦٧ 67 فَقَالَ لِلاِثْنَيْ عَشَرَ تِلْمِيذاً: «وَأَنْتُمْ أَتُرِيدُونَ أَنْ تَذْهَبُوا مِثْلَهُمْ؟»

So Jesus asked the Twelve, “Do you want to leave too?”

٦٨ 68 فَأَجَابَهُ سِمْعَانُ بُطْرُسُ: «إِلَى مَنْ نَذْهَبُ يَا رَبُّ وَعِنْدَكَ كَلامُ الْحَيَاةِ الأَبَدِيَّةِ. (aiōnios g166)

Simon Peter replied, “Lord, to whom would we go? You have the words of eternal life. (aiōnios g166)

٦٩ 69 نَحْنُ آمَنَّا وَعَرَفْنَا أَنَّكَ قُدُّوسُ اللهِ!»

We believe and know that You are the Holy One of God.”

٧٠ 70 فَقَالَ يَسُوعُ: «أَلَيْسَ أَنَا اخْتَرْتُكُمْ أَنْتُمُ الاِثْنَيْ عَشَرَ، وَمَعَ ذلِكَ فَوَاحِدٌ مِنْكُمْ شَيْطَانٌ؟»

Jesus answered them, “Have I not chosen you, the Twelve? Yet one of you is a devil!”

٧١ 71 أَشَارَ بِهَذَا إِلَى يَهُوذَا بْنِ سِمْعَانَ الإِسْخَرْيُوطِيِّ، الَّذِي سَلَّمَهُ فِيمَا بَعْدُ مَعَ أَنَّهُ كَانَ مِنَ الاِثْنَيْ عَشَرَ!

He was speaking about Judas, the son of Simon Iscariot. For although Judas was one of the Twelve, he was later to betray Jesus.

Jesus Preaches to the Multitude
