A little while, and you will no longer see me, and again a little while, and you will see me/عَمَّا قَليلٍ لَنْ ترَونِي، ثُمَّ عَمَّا قَليلٍ تَرَونَنِي

وعَرَفَ يَسُوعُ أَنَّهُم يُريدُونَ أَنْ يَسْأَلُوه، فَقَالَ لَهُم: هَلْ تَتَسَاءَلُونَ فيمَا بَيْنَكُم عَنْ قَولي هذَا: عَمَّا قَليلٍ لَنْ ترَونِي، ثُمَّ عَمَّا قَليلٍ تَرَونَنِي
إنجيل القدّيس يوحنّا16/من16حتى19/:”قالَ الرَبُّ يَسوعُ لِتلاميذِهِ: «عَمَّا قَليلٍ لَنْ تَرَونِي، ثُمَّ عَمَّا قَليلٍ تَرَونَنِي». فَقَالَ بَعْضُ تَلامِيذِهِ فيمَا بَيْنَهُم: «مَا هذَا الَّذي يَقُولُهُ لَنَا: عَمَّا قَليلٍ لَنْ تَرَونِي، ثُمَّ عَمَّا قَليلٍ تَرَونَنِي، وأَنِّي ذَاهِبٌ إِلى الآب؟». وكَانُوا يَقُولُون: «مَا هُوَ هذَا القَليلُ الَّذي يَتَكَلَّمُ عَنْهُ؟ لا نَعْرِفُ عَمَّا يَتَكَلَّم». وعَرَفَ يَسُوعُ أَنَّهُم يُريدُونَ أَنْ يَسْأَلُوه، فَقَالَ لَهُم: «هَلْ تَتَسَاءَلُونَ فيمَا بَيْنَكُم عَنْ قَولي هذَا: عَمَّا قَليلٍ لَنْ ترَونِي، ثُمَّ عَمَّا قَليلٍ تَرَونَنِي”؟

وهكَذَا وَلَدَ إِسْحقَ وَخَتَنَهُ في ٱليَوْمِ ٱلثَّامِن، وإِسْحقُ وَلَدَ يَعْقُوبَ وخَتَنَهُ، ويَعْقُوبُ وَلَدَ ٱلآبَاءَ ٱلأَوَّلِينَ ٱلٱثْنَي عَشَرَ وخَتَنَهُم
سفر أعمال الرسل07/من01حتى08/:”يا إِخْوَتِي، قَالَ عَظِيمُ ٱلأَحْبَار: «هَلِ ٱلأَمْرُ كَذَلِكَ؟».فقَالَ إِسْطِفَانُس: «أَيُّهَا ٱلرِّجَالُ ٱلإِخْوَةُ وٱلآبَاء، ٱسْمَعُوا: إِنَّ إِلهَ ٱلمَجْدِ قَدْ تَرَاءَى لأَبِينَا إِبْرَاهِيم، وهُوَ في بِلادِ مَا بَينَ ٱلنَّهْرَيْن، قَبْلَ أَنْ يَسْكُنَ فِي حَرَّان، وقَالَ لَهُ: أُخْرُجْ مِنْ أَرْضِكَ ومِنْ عَشِيرَتِكَ وهَلُمَّ إِلى ٱلأَرْضِ الَّتِي سَأُرِيكَ إِيَّاهَا. حِينَئِذٍ خَرَجَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ مِنْ أَرْضِ ٱلكِلْدَانِيِّين، وسَكَنَ فِي حَرَّان. ومِنْ هُنَاكَ نَقَلَهُ ٱلله، بَعْدَ مَوْتِ أَبِيه، إِلى هذِهِ ٱلأَرْضِ ٱلَّتِي أَنْتُمُ ٱلآنَ فِيهَا سَاكِنُون. ولَمْ يُعْطِهِ فِيهَا مِيرَاثًا، وَلا مَوطِئَ قَدَم، ولكِنْ وَعَدَ بِأَنْ يُعْطِيَهَا لَهُ مِلْكًا، وَلِنَسْلِهِ مِنْ بَعْدِهِ، مَعَ أَنَّهُ لَمْ يَكُنْ لَهُ وَلَد. وتَكَلَّمَ ٱللهُ هكَذَا: سَيَكُونُ نَسْلُهُ غَرِيبًا فِي أَرْضٍ غَرِيبَة، فَيَسْتَعْبِدُونَهُ ويُسِيئُونَ إِلَيْهِ أَرْبَعَ مِئَةِ سَنَة. وٱلأُمَّةُ ٱلَّتِي سَيُسْتَعْبَدُونَ لَهَا سَأَدِينُهَا أَنَا، قَالَ ٱلله، وبَعْدَ ذَلِكَ سَيَخْرُجُونَ ويَعْبُدُونَنِي في هذَا ٱلمَكَان. ثُمَّ أَعْطَى ٱللهُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَهْدَ ٱلخِتَان، وهكَذَا وَلَدَ إِسْحقَ وَخَتَنَهُ في ٱليَوْمِ ٱلثَّامِن، وإِسْحقُ وَلَدَ يَعْقُوبَ وخَتَنَهُ، ويَعْقُوبُ وَلَدَ ٱلآبَاءَ ٱلأَوَّلِينَ ٱلٱثْنَي عَشَرَ وخَتَنَهُم”.

 ‘Are you discussing among yourselves what I meant when I said, A little while, and you will no longer see me, and again a little while, and you will see me
Holy Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Saint John 16/16-19:”‘A little while, and you will no longer see me, and again a little while, and you will see me.’Then some of his disciples said to one another, ‘What does he mean by saying to us, “A little while, and you will no longer see me, and again a little while, and you will see me”; and “Because I am going to the Father”?’They said, ‘What does he mean by this “a little while”? We do not know what he is talking about.’Jesus knew that they wanted to ask him, so he said to them, ‘Are you discussing among yourselves what I meant when I said, “A little while, and you will no longer see me, and again a little while, and you will see me”?”

And so Abraham became the father of Isaac and circumcised him on the eighth day; and Isaac became the father of Jacob, and Jacob of the twelve patriarchs
Acts of the Apostles 07/01-08:”Then the high priest asked him, ‘Are these things so?’And Stephen replied: ‘Brothers and fathers, listen to me. The God of glory appeared to our ancestor Abraham when he was in Mesopotamia, before he lived in Haran,and said to him, “Leave your country and your relatives and go to the land that I will show you.”Then he left the country of the Chaldeans and settled in Haran. After his father died, God had him move from there to this country in which you are now living. He did not give him any of it as a heritage, not even a foot’s length, but promised to give it to him as his possession and to his descendants after him, even though he had no child. And God spoke in these terms, that his descendants would be resident aliens in a country belonging to others, who would enslave them and maltreat them for four hundred years. “But I will judge the nation that they serve,” said God, “and after that they shall come out and worship me in this place.” Then he gave him the covenant of circumcision. And so Abraham became the father of Isaac and circumcised him on the eighth day; and Isaac became the father of Jacob, and Jacob of the twelve patriarchs.”
