I have not spoken on my own, but the Father who sent me has himself given me a commandment about what to say and what to speak/مَا تَكَلَّمْتُ مِنْ تِلْقَاءِ نَفْسِي، بَلِ الآبُ الَّذي أَرْسَلَنِي هُوَ أَوْصَانِي بِمَا أَقُولُ وَبِمَا أَتَكَلَّم

مَا تَكَلَّمْتُ مِنْ تِلْقَاءِ نَفْسِي، بَلِ الآبُ الَّذي أَرْسَلَنِي هُوَ أَوْصَانِي بِمَا أَقُولُ وَبِمَا أَتَكَلَّم
إنجيل القدّيس يوحنّا12/من48حتى50/:”قالَ الرَبُّ يَسُوع: «مَنْ يَرْذُلُنِي، ولا يَقْبَلُ أَقْوَالِي، فَلَهُ دَيَّانُهُ: أَلْكَلِمَةُ الَّتِي قُلْتُهَا هِيَ تَدِينُهُ في اليَوْمِ الأَخير؛ لأَنِّي مَا تَكَلَّمْتُ مِنْ تِلْقَاءِ نَفْسِي، بَلِ الآبُ الَّذي أَرْسَلَنِي هُوَ أَوْصَانِي بِمَا أَقُولُ وَبِمَا أَتَكَلَّم. وأَنَا أَعْلَمُ أَنَّ وَصِيَّتَهُ حَيَاةٌ أَبَدِيَّة. ومَا أَتَكَلَّمُ بِهِ، فَكَمَا قَالَ لِيَ الآبُ، هكَذَا أَنَا أَتَكَلَّم».

فأُولئِكَ جَمِيعُهُم، وقَد شُهِدَ لَهُم بِالإِيْمَان، لَمْ يَنَالُوا الوَعْد؛ لأَنَّ اللهَ سَبَقَ فأَعَدَّ لنَا مَا هُوَ أَفْضَل، لِئَلاَّ يُجْعَلُوا كَامِلِينَ بِدُونِنَا
الرسالة إلى العبرانيّين11/من32حتى40/:”يا إخوَتِي، مَاذَا أَقُولُ بَعْد؟ فَإِنَّ الوَقْتَ يَضِيقُ بِي وأَنَا أُخْبِرُ عَن جِدْعُونَ وبَارَاقَ وشَمشُونَ ويَفْتَاحَ ودَاودَ وصَمُوئِيلَ والأَنْبِياء، الَّذِينَ بالإِيْمَانِ قَهَرُوا المَمَالِك، وعَمِلُوا البِرّ، ونَالُوا الوُعُود، وسَدُّوا أَفْوَاهَ الأُسُود، وأَخْمَدُوا قُوَّةَ النَّار، ونَجَوا مِن حَدِّ السَّيْف، ونَالُوا مِنَ الضُّعْفِ قُوَّة، وصَارُوا أَشِدَّاءَ في القِتَال، وهَزَمُوا عَسَاكِرَ الغُرَبَاء، وٱسْتَرَدَّتْ نِسَاءٌ أَمْواتَهُنَّ بِالقِيَامَة. وآخَرُونَ عُذِّبُوا بِتَوتِيرِ الأَعْضَاءِ والضَّرْب، ورَفَضُوا النَّجَاة، لِكَي يَحْصَلُوا على قِيَامَةٍ أَفْضَل. وآخَرُونَ ذاقُوا الهُزْءَ والجَلْد، وأَيْضًا القُيُودَ والسِّجْن. ورُجِمُوا، ونُشِرُوا، ومَاتُوا بِحَدِّ السَّيْف، وهَامُوا على وُجُوهِهِم لابِسِينَ جُلُودَ الغَنَمِ والمَاعِز، وهُم مُحْتَاجُونَ ومُضَايَقُونَ ومُذَلَّلُون، تَائِهُونَ في البَرارِي والجِبَالِ والمَغَاوِرِ وشُقُوقِ الأَرْض، هُمُ الَّذِينَ لَمْ يَكُنِ العَالَمُ مُسْتَحِقًّا لَهُم. فأُولئِكَ جَمِيعُهُم، وقَد شُهِدَ لَهُم بِالإِيْمَان، لَمْ يَنَالُوا الوَعْد؛ لأَنَّ اللهَ سَبَقَ فأَعَدَّ لنَا مَا هُوَ أَفْضَل، لِئَلاَّ يُجْعَلُوا كَامِلِينَ بِدُونِنَا!

I have not spoken on my own, but the Father who sent me has himself given me a commandment about what to say and what to speak
Holy Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Saint John 12/48-50/:”The one who rejects me and does not receive my word has a judge; on the last day the word that I have spoken will serve as judge, for I have not spoken on my own, but the Father who sent me has himself given me a commandment about what to say and what to speak. And I know that his commandment is eternal life. What I speak, therefore, I speak just as the Father has told me.”

 Yet all these, though they were commended for their faith, did not receive what was promised, since God had provided something better so that they would not, without us, be made perfect.
Letter to the Hebrews 11/32-40/:”And what more should I say? For time would fail me to tell of Gideon, Barak, Samson, Jephthah, of David and Samuel and the prophets who through faith conquered kingdoms, administered justice, obtained promises, shut the mouths of lions, quenched raging fire, escaped the edge of the sword, won strength out of weakness, became mighty in war, put foreign armies to flight. Women received their dead by resurrection. Others were tortured, refusing to accept release, in order to obtain a better resurrection. Others suffered mocking and flogging, and even chains and imprisonment. They were stoned to death, they were sawn in two, they were killed by the sword; they went about in skins of sheep and goats, destitute, persecuted, tormented of whom the world was not worthy. They wandered in deserts and mountains, and in caves and holes in the ground. Yet all these, though they were commended for their faith, did not receive what was promised, since God had provided something better so that they would not, without us, be made perfect.
