| Epistle Reading Acts of the Apostles 4:1-10 | أعمال الرسل 4: 1-10 |
In those days, while the apostles were speaking to the people, the priests and the captain of the temple and the Sadducees came upon them, annoyed because they were teaching the people and proclaiming in Jesus the resurrection from the dead. And they arrested them and put them in custody until the morrow, for it was already evening. But many of those who heard the word believed; and the number of the men came to about five thousand. On the morrow their rulers and elders and scribes were gathered together in Jerusalem, with Annas the high priest and Caiaphas and John and Alexander, and all who were of the high-priestly family. And when they had set them in the midst, they inquired, "By what power or by what name did you do this?" Then Peter, filled with the Holy Spirit, said to them, "Rulers of the people and elders, if we are being examined today concerning a good deed done to a cripple, by what means this man has been healed, be it known to you all, and to all the people of Israel, that by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom you crucified, whom God raised from the dead, by him this man is standing before you well." | 1 في تلك الأيام بَيْنَمَا كان الرسولان يُخَاطِبَانِ الشَّعْبَ أَقْبَلَ عَلَيْهِمَا الْكَهَنَةُ وَقَائِدُ جُنْدِ الْهَيْكَلِ وَالصَّدُّوقِيُّونَ 2مُتَضَجِّرِينَ مِنْ تَعْلِيمِهِمَا الشَّعْبَ وَنِدَائِهِمَا فِي يَسُوعَ بِالْقِيَامَةِ مِنَ الأَمْوَاتِ. 3فَأَلْقَوْا عَلَيْهِمَا الأَيَادِيَ وَوَضَعُوهُمَا فِي حَبْسٍ إِلَى الْغَدِ لأَنَّهُ كَانَ قَدْ صَارَ الْمَسَاءُ. 4وَكَثِيرُونَ مِنَ الَّذِينَ سَمِعُوا الْكَلِمَةَ آمَنُوا وَصَارَ عَدَدُ الرِّجَالِ نَحْوَ خَمْسَةِ آلاَفٍ. 5وَحَدَثَ فِي الْغَدِ أَنَّ رُؤَسَاءَهُمْ وَشُيُوخَهُمْ وَكَتَبَتَهُمُ اجْتَمَعُوا إِلَى أُورُشَلِيمَ 6مَعَ حَنَّانَ رَئِيسِ الْكَهَنَةِ وَقَيَافَا وَيُوحَنَّا وَالإِسْكَنْدَرِ وَجَمِيعِ الَّذِينَ كَانُوا مِنْ عَشِيرَةِ رُؤَسَاءِ الْكَهَنَةِ. 7وَلَمَّا أَقَامُوهُمَا فِي الْوَسْطِ جَعَلُوا يَسْأَلُونَهُمَا: ((بِأَيَّةِ قُوَّةٍ وَبِأَيِّ اسْمٍ صَنَعْتُمَا أَنْتُمَا هَذَا؟)) 8حِينَئِذٍ امْتَلأَ بُطْرُسُ مِنَ الرُّوحِ الْقُدُسِ وَقَالَ لَهُمْ: ((يَا رُؤَسَاءَ الشَّعْبِ وَشُيُوخَ إِسْرَائِيلَ 9إِنْ كُنَّا نُفْحَصُ الْيَوْمَ عَنْ إِحْسَانٍ إِلَى إِنْسَانٍ سَقِيمٍ بِمَاذَا شُفِيَ هَذَا 10فَلْيَكُنْ مَعْلُوماً عِنْدَ جَمِيعِكُمْ وَجَمِيعِ شَعْبِ إِسْرَائِيلَ أَنَّهُ بِاسْمِ يَسُوعَ الْمَسِيحِ النَّاصِرِيِّ الَّذِي صَلَبْتُمُوهُ أَنْتُمُ الَّذِي أَقَامَهُ اللهُ مِنَ الأَمْوَاتِ بِذَاكَ وَقَفَ هَذَا أَمَامَكُمْ صَحِيحاً.

| Gospel Reading John 3:16-21 | يوحنا 3: 16-21 |
The Lord said to his disciples: "God so loved the world that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. For God sent the Son into the world, not to condemn the world, but that the world might be saved through him. He who believes in him is not condemned; he who does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only Son of God. And this is the judgment, that the light has come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. For every one who does evil hates the light, and does not come to the light, lest his deeds should be exposed. But he who does what is true comes to the light, that it may be clearly seen that his deeds have been wrought in God." | قال الرّبّ لتلاميذه: 16 هَكَذَا أَحَبَّ اللَّهُ الْعَالَمَ حَتَّى بَذَلَ ابْنَهُ الْوَحِيدَ لِكَيْ لاَ يَهْلِكَ كُلُّ مَنْ يُؤْمِنُ بِهِ بَلْ تَكُونُ لَهُ الْحَيَاةُ الأَبَدِيَّةُ.17 لأَنَّهُ لَمْ يُرْسِلِ اللَّهُ ابْنَهُ إِلَى الْعَالَمِ لِيَدِينَ الْعَالَمَ بَلْ لِيَخْلُصَ بِهِ الْعَالَمُ.18 اَلَّذِي يُؤْمِنُ بِهِ لاَ يُدَانُ وَالَّذِي لاَ يُؤْمِنُ قَدْ دِينَ لأَنَّهُ لَمْ يُؤْمِنْ بِاسْمِ ابْنِ اللَّهِ الْوَحِيدِ. 19 وَهَذِهِ هِيَ الدَّيْنُونَةُ: إِنَّ النُّورَ قَدْ جَاءَ إِلَى الْعَالَمِ وَأَحَبَّ النَّاسُ الظُّلْمَةَ أَكْثَرَ مِنَ النُّورِ لأَنَّ أَعْمَالَهُمْ كَانَتْ شِرِّيرَةً.20 لأَنَّ كُلَّ مَنْ يَعْمَلُ السَّيِّآتِ يُبْغِضُ النُّورَ وَلاَ يَأْتِي إِلَى النُّورِ لِئَلَّا تُوَبَّخَ أَعْمَالُهُ.21 وَأَمَّا مَنْ يَفْعَلُ الْحَقَّ فَيُقْبِلُ إِلَى النُّورِ لِكَيْ تَظْهَرَ أَعْمَالُهُ أَنَّهَا بِاللَّهِ مَعْمُولَةٌ». |
