إِنْ عَطِشَ أَحَدٌ فَلْيَأْتِ إِليَّ. وَالمُؤْمِنُ بِي فَلْيَشْرَبْ، كَمَا قَالَ الكِتَاب: مِنْ جَوْفِهِ تَتَدَفَّقُ أَنْهَارُ مَاءٍ حَيّ/Let anyone who is thirsty come to me, and let the one who believes in me drink

إِنْ عَطِشَ أَحَدٌ فَلْيَأْتِ إِليَّ. وَالمُؤْمِنُ بِي فَلْيَشْرَبْ، كَمَا قَالَ الكِتَاب: مِنْ جَوْفِهِ تَتَدَفَّقُ أَنْهَارُ مَاءٍ حَيّ
إنجيل القدّيس يوحنّا07/من37حتى39/”في آخِرِ أَيَّامِ العِيدِ وأَعْظَمِهَا (عيد المظال)، وَقَفَ يَسُوعُ وهَتَفَ قَائِلاً: «إِنْ عَطِشَ أَحَدٌ فَلْيَأْتِ إِليَّ. وَالمُؤْمِنُ بِي فَلْيَشْرَبْ، كَمَا قَالَ الكِتَاب: مِنْ جَوْفِهِ تَتَدَفَّقُ أَنْهَارُ مَاءٍ حَيّ». قَالَ هذَا عَنِ الرُّوحِ الَّذِي كَانَ المُؤْمِنُونَ بِهِ مُزْمِعِينَ أَنْ يَقْبَلُوه. فَٱلرُّوحُ لَمْ يَكُنْ بَعْدُ قَدْ أُعْطِيَ، لأَنَّ يَسُوعَ لَمْ يَكُنْ بَعْدُ قَدْ مُجِّد.”

Let anyone who is thirsty come to me, and let the one who believes in me drink
John 07/37-39: “On the last day of the festival, the great day, while Jesus was standing there, he cried out, ‘Let anyone who is thirsty come to me, and let the one who believes in me drink. As the scripture has said, “Out of the believer’s heart shall flow rivers of living water.” ’Now he said this about the Spirit, which believers in him were to receive; for as yet there was no Spirit, because Jesus was not yet glorified.”

 

تَخَلَّصُوا مِنْ هذَا ٱلجِيلِ ٱلمُلْتَوِي
سفر أعمال الرسل02/من40حتى47/«كَانَ بُطرُس يُنَاشِدُ الشَعْبَ بِأَقْوَالٍ أُخْرَى كَثِيرة، ويَحُثُّهُم قَائِلاً: «تَخَلَّصُوا مِنْ هذَا ٱلجِيلِ ٱلمُلْتَوِي!». فَقَبِلُوا كَلامَهُ، وٱعْتَمَدُوا، وٱنْضَمَّ في ذَلِكَ ٱليَومِ نَحْوُ ثَلاثَةِ آلافِ نَفْس. وكَانُوا مُوَاظِبينَ عَلى تَعْلِيمِ ٱلرُّسُل، وٱلمُشَارَكَة، وكَسْرِ ٱلخُبْز، وٱلصَّلَوَات. وٱسْتَولَى ٱلخَوْفُ عَلى كُلِّ نَفْسٍ، لأَنَّ عَجَائِبَ وآيَاتٍ كَثِيرَةً كَانَتْ تَجْرِي عَلى أَيْدِي ٱلرُّسُل. وكَانَ ٱلمُؤْمِنُونَ كُلُّهُم مُتَّحِدِينَ مَعًا، وكَانُوا يَتَشَارَكُونَ في كُلِّ شَيء، فَيَبِيعُونَ أَمْلاكَهُم ومُقْتَنياتِهِم، ويُوَزِّعُونَ ثَمَنَهَا عَلى ٱلجَمِيع، بِحَسَبِ حَاجَةِ كُلٍّ مِنْهُم. وكَانُوا كُلَّ يَوْمٍ يُلازِمُونَ ٱلهَيْكَلَ بِنَفْسٍ وَاحِدَة، ويَكْسِرُونَ ٱلخُبْزَ في كُلِّ بَيْتٍ مِنْ بُيُوتِهِم، ويَتَنَاوَلُونَ ٱلطَّعَامَ بٱبْتِهَاجٍ وسَلامَةِ قَلْب، ويُسَبِّحُونَ ٱللهَ، ويَنَالُونَ حُظْوَةً لَدَى ٱلشَّعْبِ كُلِّهِ. وكَانَ ٱلرَّبُّ يَضُمُّ مَعًا كُلَّ يَوْم، أُولئِكَ ٱلَّذِينَ يَخْلُصُون.”

 

Save yourselves from this corrupt generation
Acts of the Apostles 02/40-47: “And he testified with many other arguments and exhorted them, saying, ‘Save yourselves from this corrupt generation.’ So those who welcomed his message were baptized, and that day about three thousand persons were added. They devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching and fellowship, to the breaking of bread and the prayers. Awe came upon everyone, because many wonders and signs were being done by the apostles. All who believed were together and had all things in common; they would sell their possessions and goods and distribute the proceeds to all, as any had need. Day by day, as they spent much time together in the temple, they broke bread at home and ate their food with glad and generous hearts, praising God and having the goodwill of all the people. And day by day the Lord added to their number those who were being saved.”
