“What I’m about to tell you is true.

“What I’m about to tell you is true. You will cry and be full of sorrow while the world is full of joy. You will be sad, but your sadness will turn into joy. “A woman giving birth to a baby has pain. This is because her time to give birth has come. But when her baby is born, she forgets the pain. She forgets because she is so happy that a baby has been born into the world. “That’s the way it is with you. Now it’s your time to be sad. But I will see you again. Then you will be full of joy. And no one will take your joy away. “When that day comes, you will no longer ask me for anything. What I’m about to tell you is true. My Father will give you anything you ask for in my name. Until now you have not asked for anything in my name. Ask, and you will receive what you ask for. Then your joy will be complete. “I have not been speaking to you plainly. But a time is coming when I will speak clearly. Then I will tell you plainly about my Father. When that day comes, you will ask for things in my name. I am not saying I will ask the Father instead of you asking him. No, the Father himself loves you because you have loved me. He also loves you because you have believed that I came from God. “I came from the Father and entered the world. Now I am leaving the world and going back to the Father.” Then Jesus’ disciples said, “Now you are speaking plainly. You are using examples that are clear. Now we can see that you know everything. You don’t even need anyone to ask you questions. This makes us believe that you came from God.” “At last you believe!” Jesus said. “But a time is coming when you will be scattered and go to your own homes. In fact, that time is already here. You will leave me all alone. But I am not really alone. My Father is with me. “I have told you these things, so that you can have peace because of me. In this world you will have trouble. But cheer up! I have won the battle over the world.””

“اَلْحَقَّ ٱلْحَقَّ أَقُولُ لَكُمْ: إِنَّكُمْ سَتَبْكُونَ وَتَنُوحُونَ وَٱلْعَالَمُ يَفْرَحُ. أَنْتُمْ سَتَحْزَنُونَ، وَلَكِنَّ حُزْنَكُمْ يَتَحَوَّلُ إِلَى فَرَحٍ. اَلْمَرْأَةُ وَهِيَ تَلِدُ تَحْزَنُ لِأَنَّ سَاعَتَهَا قَدْ جَاءَتْ، وَلَكِنْ مَتَى وَلَدَتِ ٱلطِّفْلَ لَا تَعُودُ تَذْكُرُ ٱلشِّدَّةَ لِسَبَبِ ٱلْفَرَحِ، لِأَنَّهُ قَدْ وُلِدَ إِنْسَانٌ فِي ٱلْعَالَمِ. فَأَنْتُمْ كَذَلِكَ، عِنْدَكُمُ ٱلْآنَ حُزْنٌ. وَلَكِنِّي سَأَرَاكُمْ أَيْضًا فَتَفْرَحُ قُلُوبُكُمْ، وَلَا يَنْزِعُ أَحَدٌ فَرَحَكُمْ مِنْكُمْ وَفِي ذَلِكَ ٱلْيَوْمِ لَا تَسْأَلُونَنِي شَيْئًا. اَلْحَقَّ ٱلْحَقَّ أَقُولُ لَكُمْ: إِنَّ كُلَّ مَا طَلَبْتُمْ مِنَ ٱلْآبِ بِٱسْمِي يُعْطِيكُمْ. إِلَى ٱلْآنَ لَمْ تَطْلُبُوا شَيْئًا بِٱسْمِي. اُطْلُبُوا تَأْخُذُوا، لِيَكُونَ فَرَحُكُمْ كَامِلًا. «قَدْ كَلَّمْتُكُمْ بِهَذَا بِأَمْثَالٍ، وَلَكِنْ تَأْتِي سَاعَةٌ حِينَ لَا أُكَلِّمُكُمْ أَيْضًا بِأَمْثَالٍ، بَلْ أُخْبِرُكُمْ عَنِ ٱلْآبِ عَلَانِيَةً. فِي ذَلِكَ ٱلْيَوْمِ تَطْلُبُونَ بِٱسْمِي. وَلَسْتُ أَقُولُ لَكُمْ إِنِّي أَنَا أَسْأَلُ ٱلْآبَ مِنْ أَجْلِكُمْ، لِأَنَّ ٱلْآبَ نَفْسَهُ يُحِبُّكُمْ، لِأَنَّكُمْ قَدْ أَحْبَبْتُمُونِي، وَآمَنْتُمْ أَنِّي مِنْ عِنْدِ ٱللهِ خَرَجْتُ. خَرَجْتُ مِنْ عِنْدِ ٱلْآبِ، وَقَدْ أَتَيْتُ إِلَى ٱلْعَالَمِ، وَأَيْضًا أَتْرُكُ ٱلْعَالَمَ وَأَذْهَبُ إِلَى ٱلْآبِ». قَالَ لَهُ تَلَامِيذُهُ: «هُوَذَا ٱلْآنَ تَتَكَلَّمُ عَلَانِيَةً وَلَسْتَ تَقُولُ مَثَلًا وَاحِدًا. اَلْآنَ نَعْلَمُ أَنَّكَ عَالِمٌ بِكُلِّ شَيْءٍ، وَلَسْتَ تَحْتَاجُ أَنْ يَسْأَلَكَ أَحَدٌ. لِهَذَا نُؤْمِنُ أَنَّكَ مِنَ ٱللهِ خَرَجْتَ». أَجَابَهُمْ يَسُوعُ: «أَلآنَ تُؤْمِنُونَ؟ هُوَذَا تَأْتِي سَاعَةٌ، وَقَدْ أَتَتِ ٱلْآنَ، تَتَفَرَّقُونَ فِيهَا كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ إِلَى خَاصَّتِهِ، وَتَتْرُكُونَنِي وَحْدِي. وَأَنَا لَسْتُ وَحْدِي لِأَنَّ ٱلْآبَ مَعِي. قَدْ كَلَّمْتُكُمْ بِهَذَا لِيَكُونَ لَكُمْ فِيَّ سَلَامٌ. فِي ٱلْعَالَمِ سَيَكُونُ لَكُمْ ضِيقٌ، وَلَكِنْ ثِقُوا: أَنَا قَدْ غَلَبْتُ ٱلْعَالَمَ».”
