IN THOSE DAYS, Paul took the men, and the next day he purified himself with them and went into the temple, to give notice when the days of purification would be fulfilled and the offering presented for every one of them. When the seven days were almost completed, the Jews from Asia, who had seen him in the temple, stirred up all the crowd, and laid hands on him, crying out, "Men of Israel, help! This is the man who is teaching men everywhere against the people and the law and this place; moreover he also brought Greeks into the temple, and he has defiled this holy place." For they had previously seen Trophimos the Ephesian with him in the city, and they supposed that Paul had brought him into the temple. Then all the city was aroused, and the people ran together; they seized Paul and dragged him out of the temple, and at once the gates were shut. And as they were trying to kill him, word came to the tribune of the cohort that all Jerusalem was in confusion. He at once took soldiers and centurions, and ran down to them; and when they saw the tribune and the soldiers, they stopped beating Paul. | 26 في تلك الأيام أَخَذَ بُولُسُ الرِّجَالَ فِي الْغَدِ وَتَطَهَّرَ مَعَهُمْ وَدَخَلَ الْهَيْكَلَ مُخْبِراً بِكَمَالِ أَيَّامِ التَّطْهِيرِ إِلَى أَنْ يُقَرَّبَ عَنْ كُلِّ وَاحِدٍ مِنْهُمُ الْقُرْبَانُ. 27وَلَمَّا قَارَبَتِ الأَيَّامُ السَّبْعَةُ أَنْ تَتِمَّ رَآهُ الْيَهُودُ الَّذِينَ مِنْ أَسِيَّا فِي الْهَيْكَلِ فَأَهَاجُوا كُلَّ الْجَمْعِ وَأَلْقَوْا عَلَيْهِ الأَيَادِيَ 28صَارِخِينَ: ((يَا أَيُّهَا الرِّجَالُ الإِسْرَائِيلِيُّونَ أَعِينُوا! هَذَا هُوَ الرَّجُلُ الَّذِي يُعَلِّمُ الْجَمِيعَ فِي كُلِّ مَكَانٍ ضِدّاً لِلشَّعْبِ وَالنَّامُوسِ وَهَذَا الْمَوْضِعِ حَتَّى أَدْخَلَ يُونَانِيِّينَ أَيْضاً إِلَى الْهَيْكَلِ وَدَنَّسَ هَذَا الْمَوْضِعَ الْمُقَدَّسَ)). 29لأَنَّهُمْ كَانُوا قَدْ رَأَوْا مَعَهُ فِي الْمَدِينَةِ تُرُوفِيمُسَ الأَفَسُسِيَّ فَكَانُوا يَظُنُّونَ أَنَّ بُولُسَ أَدْخَلَهُ إِلَى الْهَيْكَلِ. 30فَهَاجَتِ الْمَدِينَةُ كُلُّهَا وَتَرَاكَضَ الشَّعْبُ وَأَمْسَكُوا بُولُسَ وَجَرُّوهُ خَارِجَ الْهَيْكَلِ. وَلِلْوَقْتِ أُغْلِقَتِ الأَبْوَابُ. 31وَبَيْنَمَا هُمْ يَطْلُبُونَ أَنْ يَقْتُلُوهُ نَمَا خَبَرٌ إِلَى أَمِيرِ الْكَتِيبَةِ أَنَّ أُورُشَلِيمَ كُلَّهَا قَدِ اضْطَرَبَتْ 32فَلِلْوَقْتِ أَخَذَ عَسْكَراً وَقُوَّادَ مِئَاتٍ وَرَكَضَ إِلَيْهِمْ. فَلَمَّا رَأُوْا الأَمِيرَ وَالْعَسْكَرَ كَفُّوا عَنْ ضَرْبِ بُولُسَ.

| Gospel Reading John 16:2-13 | يوحنا 16: 2-13 |
The Lord said to his disciples, "The hour is coming when whoever kills you will think he is offering service to God. And they will do this because they have not known the Father, nor me. But I have said these things to you, that when their hour comes you may remember that I told you of them. "I did not say these things to you from the beginning, because I was with you. But now I am going to him who sent me; yet none of you asks me, 'Where are you going?' But because I have said these things to you, sorrow has filled your hearts. Nevertheless I tell you the truth: it is to your advantage that I go away, for if I do not go away, the Counselor will not come to you; but if I go, I will send him to you. And when he comes, he will convince the world concerning sin and righteousness and judgment: concerning sin, because they do not believe in me; concerning righteousness, because I go to the Father, and you will see me no more; concerning judgment, because the ruler of this world is judged. "I have yet many things to say to you, but you cannot bear them now. When the Spirit of truth comes, he will guide you into all the truth." | 2قال الرب لتلاميذه تَأْتِي سَاعَةٌ فِيهَا يَظُنُّ كُلُّ مَنْ يَقْتُلُكُمْ أَنَّهُ يُقَدِّمُ خِدْمَةً لِلَّهِ. 3وَسَيَفْعَلُونَ هَذَا بِكُمْ لأَنَّهُمْ لَمْ يَعْرِفُوا الآبَ وَلاَ عَرَفُونِي. 4لَكِنِّي قَدْ كَلَّمْتُكُمْ بِهَذَا حَتَّى إِذَا جَاءَتِ السَّاعَةُ تَذْكُرُونَ أَنِّي أَنَا قُلْتُهُ لَكُمْ. وَلَمْ أَقُلْ لَكُمْ مِنَ الْبِدَايَةِ لأَنِّي كُنْتُ مَعَكُمْ. 5وَأَمَّا الآنَ فَأَنَا مَاضٍ إِلَى الَّذِي أَرْسَلَنِي، وَلَيْسَ أَحَدٌ مِنْكُمْ يَسْأَلُنِي: أَيْنَ تَمْضِي؟ 6لَكِنْ لأَنِّي قُلْتُ لَكُمْ هَذَا قَدْ مَلأَ الْحُزْنُ قُلُوبَكُمْ. 7لَكِنِّي أَقُولُ لَكُمُ الْحَقَّ: إِنَّهُ خَيْرٌ لَكُمْ أَنْ أَنْطَلِقَ، لأَنَّهُ إِنْ لَمْ أَنْطَلِقْ لاَ يَأْتِيكُمُ الْمُعَزِّي، وَلَكِنْ إِنْ ذَهَبْتُ أُرْسِلُهُ إِلَيْكُمْ. 8وَمَتَى جَاءَ ذَاكَ يُبَكِّتُ الْعَالَمَ عَلَى خَطِيَّةٍ وَعَلَى بِرٍّ وَعَلَى دَيْنُونَةٍ: 9أَمَّا عَلَى خَطِيَّةٍ فَلأَنَّهُمْ لاَ يُؤْمِنُونَ بِي. 10وَأَمَّا عَلَى بِرٍّ فَلأَنِّي ذَاهِبٌ إِلَى أَبِي وَلاَ تَرَوْنَنِي أَيْضاً. 11وَأَمَّا عَلَى دَيْنُونَةٍ فَلأَنَّ رَئِيسَ هَذَا الْعَالَمِ قَدْ دِينَ.12إِنَّ لِي أُمُوراً كَثِيرَةً أَيْضاً لأَقُولَ لَكُمْ، وَلَكِنْ لاَ تَسْتَطِيعُونَ أَنْ تَحْتَمِلُوا الآنَ. 13وَأَمَّا مَتَى جَاءَ ذَاكَ، رُوحُ الْحَقِّ، فَهُوَ يُرْشِدُكُمْ إِلَى جَمِيعِ الْحَقِّ
