إِنْجِيلُ يُوحَنَّا 16

1 «قَدْ كَلَّمْتُكُمْ بِهَذَا لِكَيْ لَا تَعْثُرُوا. 2 سَيُخْرِجُونَكُمْ مِنَ ٱلْمَجَامِعِ، بَلْ تَأْتِي سَاعَةٌ فِيهَا يَظُنُّ كُلُّ مَنْ يَقْتُلُكُمْ أَنَّهُ يُقَدِّمُ خِدْمَةً لِلهِ. 3 وَسَيَفْعَلُونَ هَذَا بِكُمْ لِأَنَّهُمْ لَمْ يَعْرِفُوا ٱلْآبَ وَلَا عَرَفُونِي.

4 لَكِنِّي قَدْ كَلَّمْتُكُمْ بِهَذَا حَتَّى إِذَا جَاءَتِ ٱلسَّاعَةُ تَذْكُرُونَ أَنِّي أَنَا قُلْتُهُ لَكُمْ. وَلَمْ أَقُلْ لَكُمْ مِنَ ٱلْبِدَايَةِ لِأَنِّي كُنْتُ مَعَكُمْ.

عمل الروح القدس

11 وَأَمَّا عَلَى دَيْنُونَةٍ فَلِأَنَّ رَئِيسَ هَذَا ٱلْعَالَمِ قَدْ دِينَ.
12 «إِنَّ لِي أُمُورًا كَثِيرَةً أَيْضًا لِأَقُولَ لَكُمْ، وَلَكِنْ لَا تَسْتَطِيعُونَ أَنْ تَحْتَمِلُوا ٱلْآنَ. 13 وَأَمَّا مَتَى جَاءَ ذَاكَ، رُوحُ ٱلْحَقِّ، فَهُوَ يُرْشِدُكُمْ إِلَى جَمِيعِ ٱلْحَقِّ، لِأَنَّهُ لَا يَتَكَلَّمُ مِنْ نَفْسِهِ، بَلْ كُلُّ مَا يَسْمَعُ يَتَكَلَّمُ بِهِ، وَيُخْبِرُكُمْ بِأُمُورٍ آتِيَةٍ. 14 ذَاكَ يُمَجِّدُنِي، لِأَنَّهُ يَأْخُذُ مِمَّا لِي وَيُخْبِرُكُمْ. 15 كُلُّ مَا لِلْآبِ هُوَ لِي. لِهَذَا قُلْتُ: إِنَّهُ يَأْخُذُ مِمَّا لِي وَيُخْبِرُكُمْ.

16 بَعْدَ قَلِيلٍ لَا تُبْصِرُونَنِي، ثُمَّ بَعْدَ قَلِيلٍ أَيْضًا تَرَوْنَنِي، لِأَنِّي ذَاهِبٌ إِلَى ٱلْآبِ».

حزن التلاميذ سيتحول إلى فرح

24 إِلَى ٱلْآنَ لَمْ تَطْلُبُوا شَيْئًا بِٱسْمِي. اُطْلُبُوا تَأْخُذُوا، لِيَكُونَ فَرَحُكُمْ كَامِلًا.
25 «قَدْ كَلَّمْتُكُمْ بِهَذَا بِأَمْثَالٍ، وَلَكِنْ تَأْتِي سَاعَةٌ حِينَ لَا أُكَلِّمُكُمْ أَيْضًا بِأَمْثَالٍ، بَلْ أُخْبِرُكُمْ عَنِ ٱلْآبِ عَلَانِيَةً. 26 فِي ذَلِكَ ٱلْيَوْمِ تَطْلُبُونَ بِٱسْمِي. وَلَسْتُ أَقُولُ لَكُمْ إِنِّي أَنَا أَسْأَلُ ٱلْآبَ مِنْ أَجْلِكُمْ، 27 لِأَنَّ ٱلْآبَ نَفْسَهُ يُحِبُّكُمْ، لِأَنَّكُمْ قَدْ أَحْبَبْتُمُونِي، وَآمَنْتُمْ أَنِّي مِنْ عِنْدِ ٱللهِ خَرَجْتُ.

28 خَرَجْتُ مِنْ عِنْدِ ٱلْآبِ، وَقَدْ أَتَيْتُ إِلَى ٱلْعَالَمِ، وَأَيْضًا أَتْرُكُ ٱلْعَالَمَ وَأَذْهَبُ إِلَى ٱلْآبِ».
29 قَالَ لَهُ تَلَامِيذُهُ: «هُوَذَا ٱلْآنَ تَتَكَلَّمُ عَلَانِيَةً وَلَسْتَ تَقُولُ مَثَلًا وَاحِدًا. 30 اَلْآنَ نَعْلَمُ أَنَّكَ عَالِمٌ بِكُلِّ شَيْءٍ، وَلَسْتَ تَحْتَاجُ أَنْ يَسْأَلَكَ أَحَدٌ. لِهَذَا نُؤْمِنُ أَنَّكَ مِنَ ٱللهِ خَرَجْتَ». 31 أَجَابَهُمْ يَسُوعُ: «أَلآنَ تُؤْمِنُونَ؟ 32 هُوَذَا تَأْتِي سَاعَةٌ، وَقَدْ أَتَتِ ٱلْآنَ، تَتَفَرَّقُونَ فِيهَا كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ إِلَى خَاصَّتِهِ، وَتَتْرُكُونَنِي وَحْدِي. وَأَنَا لَسْتُ وَحْدِي لِأَنَّ ٱلْآبَ مَعِي. 33 قَدْ كَلَّمْتُكُمْ بِهَذَا لِيَكُونَ لَكُمْ فِيَّ سَلَامٌ. فِي ٱلْعَالَمِ سَيَكُونُ لَكُمْ ضِيقٌ، وَلَكِنْ ثِقُوا: أَنَا قَدْ غَلَبْتُ ٱلْعَالَمَ».

John 16

1 “I have told you all these things so that you will not fall away.ts2 They will put you out oft the synagogue,s yet a timet is coming when the one who kills you will think he is offering service to God.s3 Theyt will do these things because they have not known the Father or me.s

4 But I have told you these thingst so that when their timet comes, you will remember that I told you about them.t
“I did not tell you these things from the beginning because I was with you.s5 But now I am going to the one who sent me,s and not one of you is asking me, ‘Where are you going?’s6 Instead your hearts are filled with sadnesst because I have said these things to you.7 But I tell you the truth, it is to your advantage that I am going away. For if I do not go away, the Advocatet will not come to you, but if I go, I will send him to you.8 And when het comes, he will prove the world wrongt concerning sin andt righteousness andt judgment –9 concerning sin, becauset they do not believe in me;s10 concerning righteousness,t becauset I am going to the Father and you will see me no longer;

11 and concerning judgment,s becauset the ruler of this worlds has been condemned.t
12 “I have many more things to say to you,s but you cannot beart them now.13 But when he,t the Spirit of truth, comes, he will guidet you into all truth.s For he will not speak on his own authority,t but will speak whatever he hears, and will tell yout what is to come.t14 Het will glorify me,t because he will receivet from me what is minet and will tell it to you.t15 Everything that the Father has is mine; that is why I said the Spiritt will receive from me what is minet and will tell it to you.t

16 In a little while yout will see me no longer; again after a little while, yout will see me.”s
17 Then some of his disciples said to one another, “What is the meaning of what he is saying,t ‘In a little while yout will not see me; again after a little while, yout will see me,’ and, ‘because I am going to the Father’?”s

18 So they kept on repeating,t “What is the meaning of what he says,t ‘In a little while’?t We do not understandt what he is talking about.”t
19 Jesus could seets that they wanted to ask him about these things,t sot he said to them, “Are you askingt each other about this – that I said, ‘In a little while yout will not see me; again after a little while, yout will see me’?20 I tell you the solemn truth,t you will weept and wail,t but the world will rejoice; you will be sad,t but your sadness will turn intot joy.21 When a woman gives birth, she has distresss because her timet has come, but when her child is born, she no longer remembers the suffering because of her joy that a human beingt has been born into the world.s22 So also you have sorrowt now, but I will see you again, and your hearts will rejoice, and no one will take your joy away from you.s23 At that timet you will ask me nothing. I tell you the solemn truth,t whatever you ask the Father in my name he will give you.s

24 Until now you have not asked for anything in my name. Ask and you will receive it,t so that your joy may be complete.
25 “I have told you these things in obscure figures of speech;t a timet is coming when I will no longer speak to you in obscure figures, but will tell yout plainlyt about the Father.26 At that timet you will ask in my name, and I do not sayt that I will ask the Father on your behalf.27 For the Father himself loves you, because you have loved me and have believed that I came from God.s

28 I came from the Father and entered into the world, but in turn,t I am leaving the world and going back to the Father.”s
29 His disciples said, “Look, now you are speaking plainlyt and not in obscure figures of speech!ts

30 Now we know that you know everythingt and do not need anyonet to ask you anything.t Because of thist we believe that you have come from God.”
31 Jesus replied,t “Do you now believe?32 Look, a timet is coming – and has come – when you will be scattered, each one to his own home,t and I will be left alone.s Yett I am not alone, because my Fathert is with me.

33 I have told you these things so that in me you may have peace. In the world you have trouble and suffering,t but take couraget – I have conquered the world.”ts
