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

بَعْدَ هَذا، عَبَرَ يَسُوعُ بُحَيْرَةَ الجَلِيلِ المَعْرُوفَةَ أيْضاً بِاسْمِ بُحَيْرَةِ طَبَرِيَّةَ.

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

وَتَبِعَهُ جَمْعٌ كَبِيْرٌ مِنَ النّاسِ لِأنَّهُمْ رَأَوْا مُعْجِزاتِهِ فِي شِفاءِ المَرْضَى.

3 J esus went up on a mountain and sat down with His followers.

لَكِنَّ يَسُوعَ صَعِدَ إلَى جانِبِ الجَبَلِ وَجَلَسَ هُناكَ مَعَ تَلامِيْذِهِ.

4 T he special religious supper to remember how the Jews left Egypt was soon.

وَكانَ عِيْدُ الفِصْحِ اليَهُودِيِّ قَرِيْباً.

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

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

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

قالَ يَسُوعُ هَذا لِيَمْتَحِنَهُ، لِأنَّ يَسُوعَ كانَ يَعْرِفُ ما سَيَفْعَلُهُ.

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

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

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

وَقالَ لَهُ أندَراوُسُ أخُو سِمْعانَ، وَهُوَ تِلْمِيْذٌ آخَرُ مِنْ تَلامِيْذِهِ:

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

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

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

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

11 J esus 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.

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

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

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

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

فَجَمَعُوها وَمَلأُوا اثْنَتَيْ عَشْرَةَ سَلَّةٍ مِنْ كِسَرِ أرغِفَةِ الشَّعِيْرِ الخَمْسَةِ الَّتِي فَضَلَتْ عَنِ الَّذِيْنَ أكَلُوا.

14 T he 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

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

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

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

16 W hen evening had come, His followers went down to the lake.

وَلَمّا جاءَ المَساءُ، نَزَلَ تَلامِيْذُهُ إلَى البُحَيْرَةِ.

17 T hey 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.

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

18 A strong wind was making high waves on the lake.

وَكانَتْ أمواجُ البُحَيْرَةِ تَتَعاظَمُ بِسَبَبِ هُبُوبِ رِيْحٍ قَوِيَّةٍ.

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

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

20 B ut Jesus called to them, “It is I. Do not be afraid.”

لَكِنَّ يَسُوعَ قالَ لَهُمْ: «هَذا أنا! فَلا تَخافُوا.»

21 T hey 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

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

22 T he 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.

وَفِي 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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

26 J esus 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.

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

27 D o 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

لا 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.»

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

فَسَألُوهُ: «فَماذا نَفْعَلُ لِكَيْ نَعْمَلَ الأعمالَ الَّتِي يَطلُبُها اللهُ؟»

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

أجابَهُمْ يَسُوعُ: «العَمَلُ الَّذِي يَطلُبُهُ اللهُ هُوَ أنْ تُؤْمِنُوا بِالَّذِي أرسَلَهُ.»

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

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

31 O ur 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

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

32 T hen 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.

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

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

فَالخُبْزُ الَّذِي يُعْطِيْهِ اللهُ هُوَ ذاكَ الَّذِي نَزَلَ مِنَ السَّماءِ، وَهُوَ يُعْطِي حَياةً لِلعالَمِ.»

34 T hey said to Him, “Sir, give us this Bread all the time.”

فَقالُوا لَهُ: «أعطِنا يا سَيِّدُ مِنْ ذَلِكَ الخُبْزِ دائِماً.»

35 J esus 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.

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

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

لَكِنِّي قُلْتُ لَكُمْ إنَّكُمْ رَأيْتُمُونِي وَمازِلْتُمْ لا تُؤْمِنُونَ.

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

وَلَكِنْ سَيَأْتِي إلَيَّ كُلُّ مَنْ وَهَبَهُ لِيَ الآبُ، وَأنا لا أرفُضُ مَنْ يَأْتِي إلَيَّ.

38 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.

لَمْ أنزِلْ مِنَ السَّماءِ لِأعْمَلَ إرادَتِي، بَلْ لِأعْمَلَ إرادَةَ الَّذِي أرْسَلَنِي.

39 “ 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.

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

40 H e 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.”

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

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

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

42 T hey 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’ ?”

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

43 J esus said to them, “Do not talk among yourselves against Me.

فَأجابَهُمْ يَسُوعُ: «كَفَى تَذَمُّراً فِيْما بَيْنَكُمْ.

44 T he 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.

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

45 T he early preachers wrote, ‘They will all be taught of God.’ Everyone who listens to the Father and learns from Him comes to Me.

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

46 N o one has seen the Father. I am the only One Who has seen Him.

لا يَعْنِي هَذا أنَّ أحَداً قَدْ رَأى الآبَ. فَالوَحِيْدُ الَّذِي رَأى الآبَ هُوَ الَّذِي جاءَ مِنَ اللهِ.

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

أقُولُ الحَقَّ لَكُمْ: مَنْ يُؤْمِنُ فَلَهُ حَياةٌ أبَدِيَّةٌ.

48 I am the Bread of Life.

أنا هُوَ الخُبْزُ المُحْيِي.

49 Y our early fathers ate bread that came from heaven in the desert. They died.

أكَلَ آباؤُكُمُ المَنَّ فِي البَرِّيَّةِ، غَيْرَ أنَّهُمْ ماتُوا.

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

أمّا مَنْ يَأْكُلُ هَذا الخُبْزَ النّازِلَ مِنَ السَّماءِ فَلَنْ يَمُوتَ أبَداً.

51 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.”

أنا 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.»

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

فَبَدَأ اليَهُودُ يَتَجادَلُونَ فِيْما بَيْنَهُمْ وَيَقولونَ: «كَيْفَ يُمْكِنُهُ أنْ يُعْطِيَنا جَسَدَهُ لِنَأْكُلَهُ؟»

53 J esus 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.

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

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

مَنْ يَأْكُلُ جَسَدِي وَيَشْرَبُ دَمِي لَهُ حَياةٌ أبَدِيَّةٌ، وَأنا سَأُقِيْمُهُ فِي اليَوْمِ الأخِيْرِ.

55 M y flesh is true food and My blood is true drink.

جَسَدِي طَعامٌ حَقِيْقِيٌّ، وَدَمِي شَرابٌ حَقِيْقِيٌّ.

56 W hoever eats My flesh and drinks My blood lives in Me and I live in him.

مَنْ يَأْكُلُ جَسَدِي وَيَشْرَبُ دَمِي يَسْكُنُ فِيَّ، وَأنا أسْكُنُ فِيْهِ.

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

الآبُ الحَيُّ أرْسَلَنِي، وَأنا أحيا بِالآبِ. هَكَذا أيضاً، مَنْ يَأْكُلُنِي فَسَيَحْيا بِي.

58 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.”

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

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

قالَ يَسُوعُ هَذِهِ الأُمُورَ وَهُوَ يُعَلِّمُ فِي مَجْمَعِ مَدِيْنَةِ كَفْرِناحُومَ. كَثِيْرُونَ يَتْرُكُونَ يَسُوع

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

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

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

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

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

فَماذا لَوْ أنَّكُمْ رَأيْتُمُ ابْنَ الإنٍسانِ صاعِداً إلَى حَيْثُ كانَ مِنْ قَبلُ؟

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

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

64 B ut 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.

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

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

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

66 F rom 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

وَمِنْ هَذا الوَقْتِ تَراجَعَ كَثِيْرُونَ مِنْ تَلامِيْذِهِ، وَلَمْ يَعُودُوا يَتْبَعُونَهُ.

67 T hen Jesus said to the twelve followers, “Will you leave Me also?”

فَقالَ يَسُوعُ لِلاثْنَيْ عَشَرَ تِلْمِيْذاً: «أتُرِيْدُونَ أنْتُمْ أيْضاً أنْ تَذْهَبُوا؟»

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

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

69 W e believe and know You are the Christ. You are the Son of the Living God.”

وَنَحنُ نُؤْمِنُ وَنَعْرِفُ أنَّكَ قُدُّوسُ اللهِ.»

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

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

71 H e 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.

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