لَو لَمْ آتِ، وأُكَلِّمْهُم، لَمَا كَانَتْ عَلَيْهِم خَطِيئَة. أَمَّا الآنَ فَلا عُذْرَ لَهُم عَلَى خَطيئَتِهِم/If I had not come and spoken to them, they would not have sin; but now they have no excuse for their sin

213

لَو لَمْ آتِ، وأُكَلِّمْهُم، لَمَا كَانَتْ عَلَيْهِم خَطِيئَة. أَمَّا الآنَ فَلا عُذْرَ لَهُم عَلَى خَطيئَتِهِم
إنجيل القدّيس يوحنّا15/من22حتى27/:”قالَ الرَبُّ يَسوعُ لِتلاميذِهِ: «لَو لَمْ آتِ، وأُكَلِّمْهُم، لَمَا كَانَتْ عَلَيْهِم خَطِيئَة. أَمَّا الآنَ فَلا عُذْرَ لَهُم عَلَى خَطيئَتِهِم. مَنْ يُبْغِضُنِي يُبْغِضُ أَبِي أَيْضًا. لَو لَمْ أَعْمَلْ بَيْنَهُمُ الأَعْمَالَ الَّتِي لَمْ يَعْمَلْهَا أَحَدٌ سِوَاي، لَمَا كَانَ عَلَيْهِم خَطيئَة. أَمَّا الآنَ فَقَدْ رَأَوا أَعْمَالِي، ومَعَ ذلِكَ أَبْغَضُونِي وأَبْغَضُوا أَبِي؛ لِكَي تَتِمَّ الكَلِمَةُ المَكْتُوبَةُ في تَوْرَاتِهِم: أَبْغَضُونِي بِلا سَبَب! ومَتَى جَاءَ البَرَقلِيطُ الَّذي سَأُرْسِلُهُ أَنَا إِلَيْكُم مِنْ لَدُنِ الآب، رُوحُ الحَقِّ المُنْبَثِقُ مِنَ الآب، فَهُوَ يَشْهَدُ لي. وأَنْتُم أَيْضًا تَشْهَدُون، لأَنَّكُم مُنْذُ البَدْءِ مَعِي”.

If I had not come and spoken to them, they would not have sin; but now they have no excuse for their sin.
Holy Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Saint John 15/22-27:”If I had not come and spoken to them, they would not have sin; but now they have no excuse for their sin. Whoever hates me hates my Father also. If I had not done among them the works that no one else did, they would not have sin. But now they have seen and hated both me and my Father. It was to fulfil the word that is written in their law, “They hated me without a cause.” ‘When the Advocate comes, whom I will send to you from the Father, the Spirit of truth who comes from the Father, he will testify on my behalf. You also are to testify because you have been with me from the beginning.”

مَلاكَ ٱلرَّبِّ فتَحَ أَبوابَ ٱلسِّجْنِ لَيْلاً، وأَخْرَجَهُم، وقَالَ لَهُم: إِذْهَبُوا، وقِفُوا في ٱلهَيْكَل، وكَلِّمُوا ٱلشَّعْبَ بِجَمِيعِ أَقْوَالِ ٱلحَيَاةِ هذِهِ
سفر أعمال الرسل05/من12حتى21/:”يا إِخْوَتِي، كَانَتْ تَجْرِي عَلى أَيْدِي ٱلرُّسُلِ آيَاتٌ كَثِيرَةٌ وعَجَائِبُ بَينَ ٱلشَّعْب. وكَانُوا كلُّهُم يَجْتَمِعُونَ بِنَفْسٍ وَاحِدَةٍ في رِوَاقِ سُلَيْمَان. ولَمْ يَكُنْ أَحَدٌ مِنَ ٱلآخَرِينَ يَجْرُؤُ أَنْ يُخَالِطَهُم. لكِنَّ ٱلشَّعْبَ كَانَ يُعَظِّمُهُم. وكَانَ كَثِيرُونَ يُؤْمِنُونَ ويَنْضَمُّونَ إِلى ٱلرَّبّ، جُمْهُورٌ مِنْ رِجَالٍ ونِسَاء، حَتَّى إِنَّهُم كَانُوا يَحْمِلُونَ ٱلمَرْضَى إِلى ٱلسَّاحَات، ويَضَعُونَهُم عَلى فُرْشٍ وأَسِرَّة، عَسَى أَنْ يَقَعَ ولَوْ ظِلُّ بُطْرُس، لَدَى مُرُورِهِ، عَلى أَحَدٍ مِنْهُم. وكَانَ جُمْهُورٌ مِنَ ٱلمُدُنِ ٱلمُجَاوِرَةِ لأُورَشِلِيم، يَتَجَمَّعُونَ حَامِلينَ ٱلمَرْضَى وٱلمُعَذَّبينَ بِٱلأَرْوَاحِ ٱلنَّجِسَة، وكَانَ هؤُلاءِ جَمِيعًا يُبْرَأُون. وقَامَ عَظِيمُ ٱلأَحْبَار، وجَمِيعُ ٱلَّذِينَ مَعَهُ مِنْ مَذْهَبِ ٱلصَّدُّوقِيِّين، وقَدِ ٱمْتَلأُوا حَسَدًا، فَأَلْقَوا أَيْدِيَهُم عَلى ٱلرُّسُل، ووَضَعُوهُم في ٱلسِّجْنِ ٱلعَامّ. لكِنَّ مَلاكَ ٱلرَّبِّ فتَحَ أَبوابَ ٱلسِّجْنِ لَيْلاً، وأَخْرَجَهُم، وقَالَ لَهُم: إِذْهَبُوا، وقِفُوا في ٱلهَيْكَل، وكَلِّمُوا ٱلشَّعْبَ بِجَمِيعِ أَقْوَالِ ٱلحَيَاةِ هذِهِ!. فَلَمَّا سَمِعُوا ذلِكَ، دَخَلُوا ٱلهَيْكَلَ عِنْدَ ٱلفَجْرِ وأَخَذُوا يُعَلِّمُون. وجَاءَ عَظِيمُ ٱلأَحْبَارِ وٱلَّذِينَ مَعَهُ، ودَعَوا ٱلمَجْلِسَ وشُيُوخَ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيل، وأَرْسَلُوا إِلى ٱلسِّجْنِ لِيُحْضِرُوهُم.

An angel of the Lord opened the prison doors, brought them out, and said, ‘Go, stand in the temple and tell the people the whole message about this life.’
Acts of the Apostles 05/12-21a.:”Now many signs and wonders were done among the people through the apostles. And they were all together in Solomon’s Portico. None of the rest dared to join them, but the people held them in high esteem. Yet more than ever believers were added to the Lord, great numbers of both men and women, so that they even carried out the sick into the streets, and laid them on cots and mats, in order that Peter’s shadow might fall on some of them as he came by. A great number of people would also gather from the towns around Jerusalem, bringing the sick and those tormented by unclean spirits, and they were all cured. Then the high priest took action; he and all who were with him (that is, the sect of the Sadducees), being filled with jealousy, arrested the apostles and put them in the public prison. But during the night an angel of the Lord opened the prison doors, brought them out, and said, ‘Go, stand in the temple and tell the people the whole message about this life.’ When they heard this, they entered the temple at daybreak and went on with their teaching. When the high priest and those with him arrived, they called together the council and the whole body of the elders of Israel, and sent to the prison to have them brought.”
