1 ب َعْدَ هَذا، عَبَرَ يَسُوعُ بُحَيْرَةَ الجَلِيلِ المَعْرُوفَةَ أيْضاً بِاسْمِ بُحَيْرَةِ طَبَرِيَّةَ.

After this Jesus went over to the other side of the Sea of Galilee. It is sometimes called Tiberias.

2 و َتَبِعَهُ جَمْعٌ كَبِيْرٌ مِنَ النّاسِ لِأنَّهُمْ رَأَوْا مُعْجِزاتِهِ فِي شِفاءِ المَرْضَى.

Many people followed Him. They saw the powerful works He did on those who were sick.

3 ل َكِنَّ يَسُوعَ صَعِدَ إلَى جانِبِ الجَبَلِ وَجَلَسَ هُناكَ مَعَ تَلامِيْذِهِ.

Jesus went up on a mountain and sat down with His followers.

4 و َكانَ عِيْدُ الفِصْحِ اليَهُودِيِّ قَرِيْباً.

The special religious supper to remember how the Jews left Egypt was soon.

5 و َنَظَرَ يَسُوعُ، فَرَأى جُمْهُوراً كَبِيْراً مِنَ النّاسِ آتِياً إلَيْهِ. فَقالَ لِفِيلِبُّسَ: «مِنْ أيْنَ يُمْكِنُنا أنْ نَشْتَرِي خُبْزاً كافِياً لِنُطْعِمَ كُلَّ هَؤُلاءِ؟»

Jesus looked up and saw many people coming to Him. He said to Philip, “Where can we buy bread to feed these people?”

6 ق الَ يَسُوعُ هَذا لِيَمْتَحِنَهُ، لِأنَّ يَسُوعَ كانَ يَعْرِفُ ما سَيَفْعَلُهُ.

He said this to see what Philip would say. Jesus knew what He would do.

7 ف َأجابَهُ فِيلِبُّسُ: «حَتَّى لَوِ اشْتَرَيْنا خُبْزاً بِأجْرِ سَنَةٍ مِنَ العَمَلِ، فَلَنْ يَكْفِي ذَلِكَ لَيَأْكُلَ كُلُّ واحِدٍ قِطْعَةً صَغِيْرَةً!»

Philip said to Him, “The money we have is not enough to buy bread to give each one a little.”

8 و َقالَ لَهُ أندَراوُسُ أخُو سِمْعانَ، وَهُوَ تِلْمِيْذٌ آخَرُ مِنْ تَلامِيْذِهِ:

One of His followers was Andrew, Simon Peter’s brother. He said to Jesus,

9 « هُنا وَلَدٌ صَغِيْرٌ مَعَهُ خَمْسَةُ أرغِفَةٍ مِنَ الشَّعِيْرِ وَسَمَكَتانِ. وَلَكِنْ ما نَفْعُ هَذَهِ لِكُلِّ هَؤُلاءِ النّاسِ؟»

“There is a boy here who has five loaves of barley bread and two small fish. What is that for so many people?”

10 ف َقالَ يَسُوعُ: «أجلِسُوا النّاسَ.» وَكانَ هُناكَ عُشْبٌ كَثِيْرٌ فِي ذَلِكَ المَكانِ، فَجَلَسَ الرِّجالُ، وَكانُوا نَحْوَ خَمْسَةِ آلافِ رَجُلٍ.

Jesus said, “Have the people sit down.” There was much grass in that place. About five thousand men sat down.

11 ث ُمَّ تَناوَلَ يَسُوعُ الأرغِفَةَ وَشَكَرَ اللهَ، ثُمَّ وَزَّعَها عَلَى الجالِسِيْنَ. وَكَذَلِكَ وَزَّعَ مِنَ السَّمَكِ قَدْرَ ما طَلَبُوا.

Jesus took the loaves and gave thanks. Then He gave the bread to those who were sitting down. The fish were given out the same way. The people had as much as they wanted.

12 و َلَمّا شَبِعُوا قالَ يَسُوعُ لِتَلامِيْذِهِ: «اجمَعُوا كِسَرَ الخُبْزِ الَّتِي زادَتْ لِكَيْ لا يَضِيْعَ مِنْها شَيْءٌ.»

When they were filled, Jesus said to His followers, “Gather up the pieces that are left. None will be wasted.”

13 ف َجَمَعُوها وَمَلأُوا اثْنَتَيْ عَشْرَةَ سَلَّةٍ مِنْ كِسَرِ أرغِفَةِ الشَّعِيْرِ الخَمْسَةِ الَّتِي فَضَلَتْ عَنِ الَّذِيْنَ أكَلُوا.

The followers gathered the pieces together. Twelve baskets were filled with pieces of barley bread. These were left after all the people had eaten.

14 و َلَمّا رَأى النّاسُ هَذِهِ المُعْجِزَةَ الَّتِي صَنَعَها يَسُوعُ، بَدَأُوا يَقُولُونَ: «مِنَ المُؤَكَّدِ أًنَّ هَذا هُوَ النَّبِيُّ الآتِي إلَى العالَمِ!»

The people saw the powerful work Jesus had done. They said, “It is true! This is the One Who speaks for God Who is to come into the world.” Jesus Walks on the Water

15 و َعَرَفَ يَسُوعُ أنَّهُمْ يُرِيْدُونَ إجبارَهُ عَلَى أنْ يَصِيْرَ مَلِكاً، فَذَهَبَ ثانِيَةً إلَى الجَبَلِ وَحْدَهُ. يَسُوعُ يَمْشِي عَلَى الماء

Jesus knew they were about to come and take Him to make Him king, so He went to the mountain by Himself.

16 و َلَمّا جاءَ المَساءُ، نَزَلَ تَلامِيْذُهُ إلَى البُحَيْرَةِ.

When evening had come, His followers went down to the lake.

17 و َرَكِبُوا قارِباً وَاتَّجَهُوا نَحْوَ مَدِيْنَةِ كَفْرِناحُومَ عَلَى الضِّفَّةِ المُقابِلَةِ. وَكانَ الظَّلامُ قَدْ حَلَّ، وَلَمْ يَكُنْ يَسُوعُ قَدْ أتَى إلَيْهِمْ بَعْدُ.

They got into a boat and started to cross the lake to go to the city of Capernaum. By this time it was dark. Jesus had not come back to them yet.

18 و َكانَتْ أمواجُ البُحَيْرَةِ تَتَعاظَمُ بِسَبَبِ هُبُوبِ رِيْحٍ قَوِيَّةٍ.

A strong wind was making high waves on the lake.

19 و َبَعْدَ أنْ قَطَعُوا نَحْوَ ثَلاثَةَ أوْ أربَعَةَ أميالٍ، رَأَوْا يَسُوعَ ماشِياً عَلَى مِياهِ البُحَيْرَةِ. وَكانَ يَقْتَرِبُ مِنَ القارِبِ، فَخافُوا!

They were about half way across the lake when they saw Jesus walking on the water. As He got near the boat, they were afraid.

20 ل َكِنَّ يَسُوعَ قالَ لَهُمْ: «هَذا أنا! فَلا تَخافُوا.»

But Jesus called to them, “It is I. Do not be afraid.”

21 ف َصارُوا راغِبِيْنَ بِأنْ يُدْخِلُوهُ إلَى القارِبِ. وَوَصَلَ القارِبُ فَوْراً إلَى المَكانِ الَّذِي كانُوا مُتَّجِهِيْنَ إلَيْهِ. النّاسُ يَبْحَثُونَ عَنْ يَسُوع

They were glad to take Him into the boat. At once they got to the other side where they wanted to go. Jesus Teaches Many People

22 و َفِي اليَوْمِ التّالِي، انتَبَهَ النّاسُ الَّذِيْنَ كانُوا عَلَى الجانِبِ الآخَرِ مِنَ البُحَيْرَةِ إلَى أنَّهُ لَمْ يَكُنْ هُناكَ إلّا قارِبٌ واحِدٌ، وَأنَّ يَسُوعَ لَمْ يَرْكَبْهُ مَعَ تَلامِيْذِهِ، بَلْ إنَّ تَلامِيْذَهُ ذَهَبُوا وَحْدَهُمْ.

The next day the people on the other side of the lake saw no other boat there but the one His followers had been in. The people knew Jesus had not gone with His followers in the boat because they had gone alone.

23 ل َكِنَّ بَعضَ القَوارِبِ مِنْ طَبَرِيَّةَ رَسَتْ قُرْبَ المَكانِ الَّذِي أكَلُوا فِيْهِ الخُبْزَ، بَعْدَ أنْ شَكَرَ الرَّبُّ يَسُوعُ اللهَ عَلَيْهِ.

There were other boats from Tiberias that had come near the place where they had eaten the bread after the Lord had given thanks.

24 و َعِندَما أدرَكَ النّاسُ أنَّ يَسُوعَ لَمْ يَكُنْ هُناكَ وَلا تَلامِيْذُهُ، رَكِبُوا تِلْكَ القَوارِبَ وَذَهَبُوا إلَى مَدِيْنَةِ كَفْرِناحُومَ باحِثِيْنَ عَنْ يَسُوعَ. يَسُوعُ هُوَ الخُبْزُ المُحيِي

The people saw that Jesus and His followers were not there. They got into boats and went to Capernaum looking for Jesus.

25 ف َوَجَدُوا يَسُوعَ عَلَى الجانِبِ الآخَرِ مِنَ البُحَيْرَةِ، فَسَألُوهُ: «مَتَى وَصَلْتَ إلَى هُنا يا مُعَلِّمُ؟»

The people found Him on the other side of the lake. They said to Him, “Teacher, when did You come here?”

26 ف َأجابَهُمْ يَسُوعُ: «أقُولُ الحَقَّ لَكُمْ: «أنتُمْ لا تَبْحَثُونَ عَنِّي لِأنَّكُمْ رَأيْتُمُ المُعجِزاتِ، بَلْ لِأنَّكُمْ أكَلْتُمْ مِنَ الخُبْزِ وَشَبِعْتُمْ.

Jesus said to them, “For sure, I tell you, you are not looking for Me because of the powerful works. You are looking for Me because you ate bread and were filled.

27 ل ا تَعْمَلُوا مِنْ أجلِ الطَّعامِ الَّذِي يَفْسَدُ، بَلْ مِنْ أجلِ الطَّعامِ الَّذِي يَدُومُ وَيُعْطِي حَياةً أبَدِيَّةً. وَابْنُ الإنسانِ هُوَ الَّذِي يَقْدِرُ أنْ يُعْطِيَكُمْ هَذا الطَّعامَ، لِأنَّ اللهَ الآبَ قَدْ وَضَعَ عَلَى ابْنِ الإنسانِ خَتْمَ مُوافَقَتِهِ.»

Do not work for food that does not last. Work for food that lasts forever. The Son of Man will give you that kind of food. God the Father has shown He will do this.” Jesus Teaches about Doing the Work of God

28 ف َسَألُوهُ: «فَماذا نَفْعَلُ لِكَيْ نَعْمَلَ الأعمالَ الَّتِي يَطلُبُها اللهُ؟»

Then the people said to Him, “What are the works God wants us to do?”

29 أ جابَهُمْ يَسُوعُ: «العَمَلُ الَّذِي يَطلُبُهُ اللهُ هُوَ أنْ تُؤْمِنُوا بِالَّذِي أرسَلَهُ.»

Jesus said to them, “This is the work of God, that you put your trust in the One He has sent.”

30 ف َسَألُوهُ: «فَما المُعجِزَةُ الَّتِي تُبَرْهِنُ بِها كَلامَكَ فَنَراها وَنُؤْمِنُ بِكَ؟ ماذا تَسْتَطِيْعُ أنْ تَعْمَلَ؟

They said to Him, “Can You show us some powerful work? Then we can see it and believe You. What will You do?

31 ف َقَدْ أكَلَ آباؤُنا المَنَّ فِي البَرِّيَّةِ كَما هُوَ مَكْتُوبٌ: ‹أعطاهُمْ خُبْزاً مِنَ السَّماءِ لِيَأْكُلُوا.› »

Our early fathers ate bread that came from heaven in the desert. This happened as it is written, ‘He gave them bread from heaven to eat.’” Jesus Is the Bread of Life

32 ف َقالَ لَهُمْ يَسُوعُ: «أقُولُ الحَقَّ لَكمْ: لَيْسَ مُوسَى هُوَ الَّذِي أعطاكُمُ الخُبْزَ مِنَ السَّماءِ، بَلْ إنَّ أبِي هُوَ الَّذِي يُعْطِيْكُمُ الخُبْزَ الحَقِيْقِيَّ مِنَ السَّماءِ.

Then Jesus said to the people, “For sure, I tell you, it was not Moses who gave you bread from heaven. My Father gives you the true Bread from heaven.

33 ف َالخُبْزُ الَّذِي يُعْطِيْهِ اللهُ هُوَ ذاكَ الَّذِي نَزَلَ مِنَ السَّماءِ، وَهُوَ يُعْطِي حَياةً لِلعالَمِ.»

The Bread of God is He Who comes down from heaven and gives life to the world.”

34 ف َقالُوا لَهُ: «أعطِنا يا سَيِّدُ مِنْ ذَلِكَ الخُبْزِ دائِماً.»

They said to Him, “Sir, give us this Bread all the time.”

35 ف َقالَ لَهُمْ يَسُوعُ: «أنا هُوَ الخُبْزُ المُحْيِي. فَالَّذِي يَأْتِي إلَيَّ لَنْ يَجُوعَ أبَداً، وَالَّذِي يُؤْمِنُ بِي لَنْ يَعطَشَ أبَداً.

Jesus said to them, “I am the Bread of Life. He who comes to Me will never be hungry. He who puts his trust in Me will never be thirsty.

36 ل َكِنِّي قُلْتُ لَكُمْ إنَّكُمْ رَأيْتُمُونِي وَمازِلْتُمْ لا تُؤْمِنُونَ.

I said to you that you have seen Me and yet you do not put your trust in Me.

37 و َلَكِنْ سَيَأْتِي إلَيَّ كُلُّ مَنْ وَهَبَهُ لِيَ الآبُ، وَأنا لا أرفُضُ مَنْ يَأْتِي إلَيَّ.

All whom My Father has given to Me will come to Me. I will never turn away anyone who comes to Me.

38 ل َمْ أنزِلْ مِنَ السَّماءِ لِأعْمَلَ إرادَتِي، بَلْ لِأعْمَلَ إرادَةَ الَّذِي أرْسَلَنِي.

I came down from heaven. I did not come to do what I wanted to do. I came to do what My Father wanted Me to do. He is the One Who sent Me.

39 و َإرادَةُ الَّذِي أرْسَلَنِي هِيَ أنْ لا أفْقِدَ أحَداً مِنَ الَّذِيْنَ وَهَبَهُم لِيْ، بَلْ أنْ أُقِيْمَهُمْ جَمِيعاً لِلحَياةِ فِي اليَوْمِ الأخِيْرِ.

“The Father sent Me. He did not want Me to lose any of all those He gave Me. He wants Me to raise them to life on the last day.

40 ف َهَذِهِ هِيَ إرادَةُ أبِي: أنْ يَنالَ كُلُّ مَنْ يَرَى الابْنَ وَيُؤْمِنُ بِهِ حَياةً إلَى الأبَدِ. وَأنا سَأُقِيْمُهُ لِلحَياةِ فِي اليَوْمِ الأخِيْرِ.»

He wants everyone who sees the Son to put his trust in Him and have life that lasts forever. I will raise that one up on the last day.”

41 ف َبَدَأ اليَهُودُ يَتَذَمَّرُونَ مِنْهُ لِأنَّهُ قالَ: «أنا هُوَ الخُبْزُ الَّذِي نَزَلَ مِنَ السَّماءِ.»

The Jews talked among themselves against Him. They did not like it because He said, “I am the Bread that came down from heaven.”

42 و َقالَوا: «ألَيْسَ هَذا يَسُوعَ بْنَ يُوسُفَ؟ ألا نَعْرِفُ أباهُ وَأُمَّهُ؟ فَكَيْفَ يَقُولُ الآنَ إنَّهُ نَزَلَ مِنَ السَّماءِ؟»

They asked each other, “Is not this Jesus, the son of Joseph? We know His father and mother. How can He say, ‘I came down from heaven’ ?”

43 ف َأجابَهُمْ يَسُوعُ: «كَفَى تَذَمُّراً فِيْما بَيْنَكُمْ.

Jesus said to them, “Do not talk among yourselves against Me.

44 ل ا يُمْكِنُ لِأحَدٍ أنْ يَأْتِيَ إلَيَّ إنْ لَمْ يَجذِبْهُ إلَيَّ الآبُ الَّذِي أرْسَلَنِي. وَفِي اليَوْمِ الأخِيْرِ، أنا سَأُقِيْمُهُ.

The Father sent Me. No man can come to Me unless the Father gives him the desire to come to Me. Then I will raise him to life on the last day.

45 ف َقَدْ كَتَبَ الأنْبِياءُ: ‹وَسَيَكُونُونَ جَمِيعاً مُتَعَلِّمِيْنَ مِنَ اللهِ.› فَكُلُّ مَنْ يَسْمَعُ لِلآبِ وَيَتَعَلَّمُ مِنْهُ يَأتِي إلَيَّ.

The early preachers wrote, ‘They will all be taught of God.’ Everyone who listens to the Father and learns from Him comes to Me.

46 ل ا يَعْنِي هَذا أنَّ أحَداً قَدْ رَأى الآبَ. فَالوَحِيْدُ الَّذِي رَأى الآبَ هُوَ الَّذِي جاءَ مِنَ اللهِ.

No one has seen the Father. I am the only One Who has seen Him.

47 أ قُولُ الحَقَّ لَكُمْ: مَنْ يُؤْمِنُ فَلَهُ حَياةٌ أبَدِيَّةٌ.

For sure, I tell you, he who puts his trust in Me has life that lasts forever.

48 أ نا هُوَ الخُبْزُ المُحْيِي.

I am the Bread of Life.

49 أ كَلَ آباؤُكُمُ المَنَّ فِي البَرِّيَّةِ، غَيْرَ أنَّهُمْ ماتُوا.

Your early fathers ate bread that came from heaven in the desert. They died.

50 أ مّا مَنْ يَأْكُلُ هَذا الخُبْزَ النّازِلَ مِنَ السَّماءِ فَلَنْ يَمُوتَ أبَداً.

But this is the Bread that comes down from heaven. The one who eats it never dies.

51 أ نا هُوَ الخُبْزُ الحَيُّ الَّذِي نَزَلَ مِنَ السَّماءِ. إنْ أكَلَ أحَدٌ هَذا الخُبْزَ فَسَيَحْيا إلَى الأبَدِ. وَالخُبْزُ الَّذِي سَأُعطِيْهِ هُوَ جَسَدِي مِنْ أجلِ أنْ يَحْيا العالَمُ.»

I am the Living Bread that came down from heaven. If anyone eats this Bread, he will live forever. The Bread which I will give is My flesh. I will give this for the life of the world.”

52 ف َبَدَأ اليَهُودُ يَتَجادَلُونَ فِيْما بَيْنَهُمْ وَيَقولونَ: «كَيْفَ يُمْكِنُهُ أنْ يُعْطِيَنا جَسَدَهُ لِنَأْكُلَهُ؟»

The Jews argued among themselves, saying, “How can this Man give us His flesh to eat?”

53 ف َقالَ لَهُمْ يَسُوعُ: «أقُولُ الحَقَّ لَكُمْ: يَنبَغِي أنْ تَأْكُلُوا جَسَدَ ابْنِ الإنسانِ وَتَشْرَبُوا دَمَهُ، وَإلّا فَلَنْ تَكُونَ لَكُمْ حَياةٌ فِي داخِلِكُمْ.

Jesus said to them, “For sure, I tell you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink His blood, you do not have life in you.

54 م َنْ يَأْكُلُ جَسَدِي وَيَشْرَبُ دَمِي لَهُ حَياةٌ أبَدِيَّةٌ، وَأنا سَأُقِيْمُهُ فِي اليَوْمِ الأخِيْرِ.

Whoever eats My flesh and drinks My blood has life that lasts forever. I will raise him up on the last day.

55 ج َسَدِي طَعامٌ حَقِيْقِيٌّ، وَدَمِي شَرابٌ حَقِيْقِيٌّ.

My flesh is true food and My blood is true drink.

56 م َنْ يَأْكُلُ جَسَدِي وَيَشْرَبُ دَمِي يَسْكُنُ فِيَّ، وَأنا أسْكُنُ فِيْهِ.

Whoever eats My flesh and drinks My blood lives in Me and I live in him.

57 ا لآبُ الحَيُّ أرْسَلَنِي، وَأنا أحيا بِالآبِ. هَكَذا أيضاً، مَنْ يَأْكُلُنِي فَسَيَحْيا بِي.

The living Father sent Me and I live because of Him. In the same way, the one who eats Me will live because of Me.

58 ه َذا هُوَ الخُبْزُ الَّذِي نَزَلَ مِنَ السَّماءِ. وَهُوَ يَخْتَلِفُ عَنِ المَنِّ الَّذِي أكَلَهُ آباؤُكُمْ وَمَعْ ذَلِكَ ماتُوا، فَمَنْ يَأْكُلُ هَذا الخُبْزَ سَيَحْيا إلَى الأبَدِ.»

I am this Bread that came down from heaven. It is not like the bread that your early fathers ate and they died. Whoever eats this Bread will live forever.”

59 ق الَ يَسُوعُ هَذِهِ الأُمُورَ وَهُوَ يُعَلِّمُ فِي مَجْمَعِ مَدِيْنَةِ كَفْرِناحُومَ. كَثِيْرُونَ يَتْرُكُونَ يَسُوع

Jesus said these things in the Jewish place of worship while He was teaching in the city of Capernaum. The Troubled Followers Leave Jesus

60 و َإذْ سَمِعَ كَثِيْرُونَ مِنْ تَلامِيْذِهِ هَذا الكَلامَ، قالُوا: «هَذا تَعلِيْمٌ صَعْبٌ! مَنْ يَسْتَطِيْعُ احتِمالَ الاسْتِماعِ إلَيْهِ؟»

After hearing this, many of His followers said, “This teaching is too hard! Who can listen to it?”

61 ف َعَرَفَ يَسُوعُ فِي داخِلِهِ أنَّهُمْ يَتَذَمَّرُونَ بِسَبَبِ ذَلِكَ، فَقالَ لَهُمْ: «هَلْ يَصْدُمُكُمْ هَذا الكَلامُ؟»

Jesus knew His followers talked against what He had said. He said to them, “Does this trouble you?

62 ف َماذا لَوْ أنَّكُمْ رَأيْتُمُ ابْنَ الإنٍسانِ صاعِداً إلَى حَيْثُ كانَ مِنْ قَبلُ؟

Then what would you say if you saw the Son of Man going up where He was before?

63 ل ا يَقْدِرُ الجَسَدُ أنْ يُعْطِيَ الحَياةَ، بَلِ الرُّوحُ. وَالكَلامُ الَّذِي كَلَّمْتُكُمْ بِهِ هُوَ رُوحٌ، لِذَلِكَ هُوَ يُعْطِي الحَياةَ.

It is the Spirit that gives life. The flesh is of no help. The words I speak to you are spirit and life.

64 ل َكِنَّ بَعْضاً مِنْكُمْ لا يُؤْمِنُ.» قالَ يَسُوعُ هَذا لِأنَّهُ عَرَفَ مُنْذُ البِدايَةِ مَنْ هُمُ الَّذِيْنَ لَمْ يُؤْمِنُوا بِهِ، وَعَرَفَ مَنِ الَّذِي سَيَخُونُهُ.

But some of you do not believe.” Jesus knew from the beginning who would not put their trust in Him. He knew who would hand Him over to the leaders of the country.

65 و َتابَعَ يَسُوعُ كَلامَهُ فَقالَ: «لِهَذا قُلْتُ لَكُمْ إنَّهُ لا يُمْكِنُ لِأحَدٍ أنْ يَأْتِيَ إلَيَّ ما لَمْ يُعْطِهِ الآبُ إمْكانِيَّةَ ذَلِكَ.»

He said, “That is why I told you no one can come to Me unless the Father allows it.”

66 و َمِنْ هَذا الوَقْتِ تَراجَعَ كَثِيْرُونَ مِنْ تَلامِيْذِهِ، وَلَمْ يَعُودُوا يَتْبَعُونَهُ.

From that time on, many of His followers turned back to their old ways of living. They would not go along with Him after that. Peter Knows Who Jesus Is

67 ف َقالَ يَسُوعُ لِلاثْنَيْ عَشَرَ تِلْمِيْذاً: «أتُرِيْدُونَ أنْتُمْ أيْضاً أنْ تَذْهَبُوا؟»

Then Jesus said to the twelve followers, “Will you leave Me also?”

68 ف َأجابَهُ سِمْعانُ بُطْرُسُ: «إلَى مَنْ يُمْكِنُ أنْ نَذْهَبَ يا رَبُّ، فَالكَلامُ الَّذِي يَقُودُ إلَى الحَياةِ الأبَدِيَّةِ عِنْدَكَ؟

Simon Peter said to Him, “Lord, who else can we go to? You have words that give life that lasts forever.

69 و َنَحنُ نُؤْمِنُ وَنَعْرِفُ أنَّكَ قُدُّوسُ اللهِ.»

We believe and know You are the Christ. You are the Son of the Living God.”

70 ف َقالَ يَسُوعُ: «أنتُمُ الاثْنَيْ عَشْرَ، ألَمْ أخْتَرْكُمْ أنا؟ غَيْرَ أنَّ واحِداً مِنْكُمْ إبلِيْسُ!»

Jesus said to them, “I chose you twelve as My followers. And one of you is a devil.”

71 و َكانَ يَقْصِدُ يَهُوذا بْنُ سِمْعانَ الأسْخَرْيُوطّيِّ الَّذِي كانَ واحِداً مِنَ الاثْنِي عَشَرَ تِلْمَيْذاً، وَهُوَ الَّذِي سَيَخُونُ يَسُوعَ.

He was speaking of Judas Iscariot, Simon’s son, who was one of the twelve followers. He was ready to hand Jesus over to the leaders of the country.
