| Epistle Reading Acts of the Apostles 18:22-28 | أعمال الرسل 18: 22-28 |
IN THOSE DAYS, when Paul had landed at Caesarea, he went up and greeted the church, and then went down to Antioch. After spending some time there he departed and went from place to place through the region of Galatia and Phrygia, strengthening all the disciples. Now a Jew named Apollos, a native of Alexandria, came to Ephesos. He was an eloquent man, well versed in the scriptures. He had been instructed in the way of the Lord; and being fervent in the spirit, he spoke and taught accurately the things concerning Jesus, though he knew only the baptism of John. He began to speak boldly in the synagogue; but when Priscilla and Aquila heard him, they took him and expounded to him the way of God more accurately. And when he wished to cross to Achaia, the brethren encouraged him, and wrote to the disciples to receive him. When he arrived, he greatly helped those who through grace had believed, for he powerfully confuted the Jews in public, showing by the scriptures that the Christ was Jesus. | 22في تلك الأيام نَزَلَ بولس في قَيْصَرِيَّةَ وصَعِدَ وَسَلَّمَ عَلَى الْكَنِيسَةِ ثُمَّ انْحَدَرَ إِلَى أَنْطَاكِيَةَ. 23وَبَعْدَمَا صَرَفَ زَمَاناً خَرَجَ وَاجْتَازَ بِالتَّتَابُعِ فِي كُورَةِ غَلاَطِيَّةَ وَفِرِيجِيَّةَ يُشَدِّدُ جَمِيعَ التَّلاَمِيذِ.24ثُمَّ أَقْبَلَ إِلَى أَفَسُسَ يَهُودِيٌّ اسْمُهُ أَبُلُّوسُ إِسْكَنْدَرِيُّ الْجِنْسِ رَجُلٌ فَصِيحٌ مُقْتَدِرٌ فِي الْكُتُبِ. 25كَانَ هَذَا خَبِيراً فِي طَرِيقِ الرَّبِّ. وَكَانَ وَهُوَ حَارٌّ بِالرُّوحِ يَتَكَلَّمُ وَيُعَلِّمُ بِتَدْقِيقٍ مَا يَخْتَصُّ بِالرَّبِّ. عَارِفاً مَعْمُودِيَّةَ يُوحَنَّا فَقَطْ. 26وَابْتَدَأَ هَذَا يُجَاهِرُ فِي الْمَجْمَعِ. فَلَمَّا سَمِعَهُ أَكِيلاَ وَبِرِيسْكِلاَّ أَخَذَاهُ إِلَيْهِمَا وَشَرَحَا لَهُ طَرِيقَ الرَّبِّ بِأَكْثَرِ تَدْقِيقٍ. 27وَإِذْ كَانَ يُرِيدُ أَنْ يَجْتَازَ إِلَى أَخَائِيَةَ كَتَبَ الإِخْوَةُ إِلَى التَّلاَمِيذِ يَحُضُّونَهُمْ أَنْ يَقْبَلُوهُ. فَلَمَّا جَاءَ سَاعَدَ كَثِيراً بِالنِّعْمَةِ الَّذِينَ كَانُوا قَدْ آمَنُوا 28لأَنَّهُ كَانَ بِاشْتِدَادٍ يُفْحِمُ الْيَهُودَ جَهْراً مُبَيِّناً بِالْكُتُبِ أَنَّ يَسُوعَ هُوَ الْمَسِيحُ.

| Gospel Reading John 10:39-42 | يوحنا 10: 39-42 |
At that time, the Jews tried to arrest Jesus, but he escaped from their hands. He went away again across the Jordan to the place where John at first baptized, and there he remained. And many came to him; and they said, "John did no sign, but everything that John said about this man was true." And many believed in him there. | 39 في ذلك الزمان َطَلَبُ اليهود أَنْ يُمْسِكُوهُ فَخَرَجَ مِنْ أَيْدِيهِمْ، 40وَمَضَى أَيْضاً إِلَى عَبْرِ الأُرْدُنِّ إِلَى الْمَكَانِ الَّذِي كَانَ يُوحَنَّا يُعَمِّدُ فِيهِ أَوَّلاً وَمَكَثَ هُنَاكَ. 41فَأَتَى إِلَيْهِ كَثِيرُونَ وَقَالُوا: ((إِنَّ يُوحَنَّا لَمْ يَفْعَلْ آيَةً وَاحِدَةً ، وَلَكِنْ كُلُّ مَا قَالَهُ يُوحَنَّا عَنْ هَذَا كَانَ حَقّاً)). 42فَآمَنَ كَثِيرُونَ بِهِ هُنَاكَ.
