والآنَ أَتْرُكُ العَالَمَ وأَمْضِي إِلى الآب/I am leaving the world and am going to the Father

59

نَعَم، خَرَجْتُ مِنْ لَدُنِ الآبِ وأَتَيْتُ إِلى العَالَم، والآنَ أَتْرُكُ العَالَمَ وأَمْضِي إِلى الآب».
إنجيل القدّيس يوحنّا16/من25حتى28/:”قالَ الرَبُّ يَسوعُ لِتلاميذِهِ: «كَلَّمْتُكُم بِأَمْثَال، وتَأْتِي سَاعَةٌ لا أُكَلِّمُكُم فيهَا بِأَمْثَال، بَلْ أُخْبِرُكُم عَنِ الآبِ عَلانِيَة. في ذلِكَ اليَومِ تَطْلُبُونَ بِٱسْمِي، ولا أَقُولُ لَكُم إِنِّي سَأَسْأَلُ الآبَ مِنْ أَجْلِكُم. فَٱلآبُ نَفْسُهُ يُحِبُّكُم، لأَنَّكُم أَحْبَبْتُمُونِي، وآمَنْتُم أَنِّي خَرَجْتُ مِنْ لَدُنِ الله. نَعَم، خَرَجْتُ مِنْ لَدُنِ الآبِ وأَتَيْتُ إِلى العَالَم، والآنَ أَتْرُكُ العَالَمَ وأَمْضِي إِلى الآب».

فِي ذلِكَ الوَقْتِ وُلِدَ مُوسَى، وكَانَ جَمِيلاً فِي عَينِ ٱلله. وتَرَبَّى ثَلاثةَ أَشْهُرٍ فِي بَيْتِ أَبِيه، ولَمَّا رَمَاهُ أَهْلُهُ، ٱنْتَشَلَتْهُ ٱبْنَةُ فِرْعَون، ورَبَّتْهُ كَٱبْنٍ لَهَا
سفر أعمال الرسل07/من17حتى29/:”يا إِخْوَتِي، قالَ إِسطِفَانُس: «وفِيمَا كَانَ يَقْتَرِبُ أَوَانُ ٱلوَعْدِ ٱلَّذِي وَعَدَ ٱللهُ بِهِ إِبْرَاهِيم، نَمَا الشَّعْبُ في مِصْرَ وتَكَاثَر، إِلى أَنْ قَامَ في مِصْرَ مَلِكٌ آخَرُ لَمْ يَكُنْ يَعْرِفُ يُوسُف، فَغَدَرَ هذَا المَلِكُ بِأُمَّتِنَا، وتَمَادَى في ٱلإِسَاءَةِ إِلى آبَائِنَا، حَتَّى إِنَّهُ أَرْغَمَهُم عَلى رَمْيِ أَطْفَالِهِم، لِئَلاَّ يَبْقَوا أَحْيَاء.
فِي ذلِكَ الوَقْتِ وُلِدَ مُوسَى، وكَانَ جَمِيلاً فِي عَينِ ٱلله. وتَرَبَّى ثَلاثةَ أَشْهُرٍ فِي بَيْتِ أَبِيه، ولَمَّا رَمَاهُ أَهْلُهُ، ٱنْتَشَلَتْهُ ٱبْنَةُ فِرْعَون، ورَبَّتْهُ كَٱبْنٍ لَهَا. وتَأَدَّبَ مُوسَى بِحِكْمَةِ ٱلمِصْرِيِّينَ كُلِّهَا، وكَانَ قَدِيرًا فِي أَقْوَالِهِ وأَفْعَالِهِ. ولَمَّا تَمَّ لَهُ مِنَ ٱلعُمْرِ أَرْبَعُونَ سَنَة، خَطَرَ لَهُ أَنْ يَتَفَقَّدَ إِخْوَتَهُ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيل. ورَأَى وَاحِدًا مِنْهُم يَعْتَدِي عَلَيْهِ مِصْرِيّ، فَدَافَعَ عَنْهُ وقَتَلَ ٱلمِصْرِيَّ ٱنْتِقَامًا لِذَلِكَ ٱلمَظْلُوم. وظَنَّ أَنَّ إِخْوَتَهُ سَيَفْهَمُونَ أَنَّ ٱللهَ يُؤْتِيهِمِ ٱلخَلاصَ عَلى يَدِهِ، لكِنَّهُم لَمْ يَفْهَمُوا. وفِي ٱليَومِ ٱلتَّالِي حَضَرَ بَينَ ٱثْنَينِ مِنْهُم يَتَقاتَلان، فَدَعَاهُمَا إِلى تَبَادُلِ ٱلسَّلامِ قَائِلاً: أَيُّهَا ٱلرَّجُلان، أَنْتُمَا أَخَوَان، فَلِمَاذَا يَعْتَدِي أَحَدُكُمَا عَلى ٱلآخَر؟ فَدَفَعَهُ ٱلمُعْتَدِي عَلى رَفِيقِهِ قَائِلاً: مَنْ أَقَامَكَ عَلَيْنَا رئِيسًا وقَاضِيًا؟ أَلَعَلَّكَ تُرِيدُ أَنْ تَقْتُلَنِي كَمَا قَتَلْتَ أَمْسِ ذَلِكَ ٱلمِصْرِيّ؟فَهَرَبَ مُوسَى عِنْدَ هذَا ٱلكَلام، وصَارَ غَريبًا فِي أَرْضِ مِدْيَن، وهُنَاكَ وَلَدَ ٱبْنَين.”

I came from the Father and have come into the world; again, I am leaving the world and am going to the Father
Holy Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Saint John 16/25-28/:‘I have said these things to you in figures of speech. The hour is coming when I will no longer speak to you in figures, but will tell you plainly of the Father. On that day you will ask in my name. I do not say to you that I will ask the Father on your behalf; for the Father himself loves you, because you have loved me and have believed that I came from God. I came from the Father and have come into the world; again, I am leaving the world and am going to the Father.’

 

When Moses was abandoned, Pharaoh’s daughter adopted him and brought him up as her own son
Acts of the Apostles 07/17-29/:”‘But as the time drew near for the fulfilment of the promise that God had made to Abraham, our people in Egypt increased and multiplied until another king who had not known Joseph ruled over Egypt. He dealt craftily with our race and forced our ancestors to abandon their infants so that they would die. At this time Moses was born, and he was beautiful before God. For three months he was brought up in his father’s house; and when he was abandoned, Pharaoh’s daughter adopted him and brought him up as her own son. So Moses was instructed in all the wisdom of the Egyptians and was powerful in his words and deeds. ‘When he was forty years old, it came into his heart to visit his relatives, the Israelites. When he saw one of them being wronged, he defended the oppressed man and avenged him by striking down the Egyptian. He supposed that his kinsfolk would understand that God through him was rescuing them, but they did not understand. The next day he came to some of them as they were quarrelling and tried to reconcile them, saying, “Men, you are brothers; why do you wrong each other?” But the man who was wronging his neighbour pushed Moses aside, saying, “Who made you a ruler and a judge over us? Do you want to kill me as you killed the Egyptian yesterday?” When he heard this, Moses fled and became a resident alien in the land of Midian. There he became the father of two sons.
