And the power of the Lord was present to heal them. 18Then behold, men brought on a bed a man who was paralyzed, whom they sought to bring in and lay before Him. 17وَفِي أَحَدِ ﭐلأَيَّامِ كَانَ يُعَلِّمُ, وَكَانَ فَرِّيسِيُّونَ وَمُعَلِّمُونَ لِلنَّامُوسِ جَالِسِينَ وَهُمْ قَدْ أَتَوْا مِنْ كُلِّ قَرْيَةٍ مِنَ ﭐلْجَلِيلِ وَﭐلْيَهُودِيَّةِ وَأُورُشَلِيمَ. وَكَانَتْ قُوَّةُ ﭐلرَّبِّ لِشِفَائِهِمْ. 18وَإِذَا بِرِجَالٍ يَحْمِلُونَ عَلَى فِرَاشٍ إِنْسَاناً مَفْلُوجاً, وَكَانُوا يَطْلُبُونَ أَنْ يَدْخُلُوا بِهِ وَيَضَعُوهُ أَمَامَهُ.

Who can forgive sins but God alone?” 19وَلَمَّا لَمْ يَجِدُوا مِنْ أَيْنَ يَدْخُلُونَ بِهِ لِسَبَبِ ﭐلْجَمْعِ, صَعِدُوا عَلَى ﭐلسَّطْحِ وَدَلَّوْهُ مَعَ ﭐلْفِرَاشِ مِنْ بَيْنِ ﭐلأَجُرِّ إِلَى ﭐلْوَسَطِ قُدَّامَ يَسُوعَ. 20فَلَمَّا رَأَى إِيمَانَهُمْ قَالَ لَهُ: ”أَيُّهَا ﭐلإِنْسَانُ, مَغْفُورَةٌ لَكَ خَطَايَاكَ“. 21فَابْتَدَأَ ﭐلْكَتَبَةُ وَﭐلْفَرِّيسِيُّونَ يُفَكِّرُونَ قَائِلِينَ: ”مَنْ هَذَا ﭐلَّذِي يَتَكَلَّمُ بِتَجَادِيفَ؟ مَنْ يَقْدِرُ أَنْ يَغْفِرَ خَطَايَا إِلاَّ ﭐللهُ وَحْدَهُ؟“ LUKE CHAPTER 5 إِنْجِيلُ لُوقَا اَلأَصْحَاحُ ﭐلْخَامِسُ

Faith of the friends 1- Faith that works: The Lord saw their faith! James 2:14 My brothers, what profit is it if a man says he has faith and does not have works? Can faith save him? مَا الْمَنْفَعَةُ يَا إِخْوَتِي إِنْ قَالَ أَحَدٌ إِنَّ لَهُ إِيمَاناً وَلَكِنْ لَيْسَ لَهُ أَعْمَالٌ؟ هَلْ يَقْدِرُ الإِيمَانُ أَنْ يُخَلِّصَهُ؟ 2- Faith that persists: Luke 18:1 And He also spoke a parable to them to teach it is always right to pray, and not to faint, وَقَالَ لَهُمْ أَيْضاً مَثَلاً فِي أَنَّهُ يَنْبَغِي أَنْ يُصَلَّى كُلَّ حِينٍ وَلاَ يُمَلَّ.

Faith of the paralytic 3- Faith that justifies: Acts 13:38 Therefore be it known to you, men, brothers, that through this One the forgiveness of sins is announced to you. فَلْيَكُنْ مَعْلُوماً عِنْدَكُمْ أَيُّهَا الرِّجَالُ الإِخْوَةُ أَنَّهُ بِهَذَا يُنَادَى لَكُمْ بِغُفْرَانِ الْخَطَايَا 4- Faith that obeys: Luke 5:25 And immediately he rose up before them and took up that on which he lay. And he departed to his own house, glorifying God. فَفِي الْحَالِ قَامَ أَمَامَهُمْ وَحَمَلَ مَا كَانَ مُضْطَجِعاً عَلَيْهِ وَمَضَى إِلَى بَيْتِهِ وَهُوَ يُمَجِّدُ اللهَ.

Who can forgive sins but God alone? He is a blasphemer Jesus is either a blasphemer or He is God Jeremiah 17:10 I Jehovah search the heart, I try the reins, even to give to each man according to his ways, according to the fruit of his doings. أَنَا الرَّبُّ فَاحِصُ الْقَلْبِ مُخْتَبِرُ الْكُلَى لأُعْطِيَ كُلَّ وَاحِدٍ حَسَبَ طُرُقِهِ حَسَبَ ثَمَرِ أَعْمَالِهِ. 2 Kings 20:5 Return again and tell Hezekiah the leader of My people, So says Jehovah, the God of David your father, I have heard your prayer, I have seen your tears. Behold, I will heal you. On the third day you shall go up to the house of Jehovah. [ارْجِعْ وَقُلْ لِحَزَقِيَّا رَئِيسِ شَعْبِي: هَكَذَا قَالَ الرَّبُّ إِلَهُ دَاوُدَ أَبِيكَ: قَدْ سَمِعْتُ صَلاَتَكَ. قَدْ رَأَيْتُ دُمُوعَكَ. هَئَنَذَا أَشْفِيكَ. فِي الْيَوْمِ الثَّالِثِ تَصْعَدُ إِلَى بَيْتِ الرَّبِّ.

"There are many people who are not going to receive the message of salvation unless you lift a corner of their stretcher and carry them to the place where they can hear the word of the Lord. They are paralyzed—immobilized by sin and by many other things the world holds for them. Some are paralyzed by prejudice and others by indifference. They are never going to hear Jesus say to them, ‘Son, thy sins be forgiven thee,’ unless you take the corner of their stretcher and bring them to Him."

إِنْجِيلُ يُوحَنَّا اَلأَصْحَاحُ ﭐلْخَامِسُ 1After this there was a feast of the Jews, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem. 2Now there is in Jerusalem by the Sheep Gate a pool, which is called in Hebrew, Bethesda, having five porches. 3In these lay a great multitude of sick people, blind, lame, paralyzed, waiting for the moving of the water. 1وَبَعْدَ هَذَا كَانَ عِيدٌ لِلْيَهُودِ, فَصَعِدَ يَسُوعُ إِلَى أُورُشَلِيمَ. 2وَفِي أُورُشَلِيمَ عِنْدَ بَابِ ﭐلضَّأْنِ بِرْكَةٌ يُقَالُ لَهَا بِالْعِبْرَانِيَّةِ ”بَيْتُ حِسْدَا“ لَهَا خَمْسَةُ أَرْوِقَةٍ. 3فِي هَذِهِ كَانَ مُضْطَجِعاً جُمْهُورٌ كَثِيرٌ مِنْ مَرْضَى وَعُمْيٍ وَعُرْجٍ وَعُسْمٍ, يَتَوَقَّعُونَ تَحْرِيكَ ﭐلْمَاءِ.

إِنْجِيلُ يُوحَنَّا اَلأَصْحَاحُ ﭐلْخَامِسُ 4For an angel went down at a certain time into the pool and stirred up the water; then whoever stepped in first, after the stirring of the water, was made well of whatever disease he had. 5Now a certain man was there who had an infirmity thirty-eight years. 6When Jesus saw him lying there, and knew that he already had been in that condition a long time, He said to him, “Do you want to be made well?” 4لأَنَّ ملاَكاً كَانَ يَنْزِلُ أَحْيَاناً فِي ﭐلْبِرْكَةِ وَيُحَرِّكُ ﭐلْمَاءَ. فَمَنْ نَزَلَ أَوَّلاً بَعْدَ تَحْرِيكِ ﭐلْمَاءِ كَانَ يَبْرَأُ مِنْ أَيِّ مَرَضٍ ﭐعْتَرَاهُ. 5وَكَانَ هُنَاكَ إِنْسَانٌ بِهِ مَرَضٌ مُنْذُ ثَمَانٍ وَثلاَثِينَ سَنَةً. 6هَذَا رَآهُ يَسُوعُ مُضْطَجِعاً وَعَلِمَ أَنَّ لَهُ زَمَاناً كَثِيراً, فَقَالَ لَهُ: ”أَتُرِيدُ أَنْ تَبْرَأَ؟“ JOHN CHAPTER 5 إِنْجِيلُ يُوحَنَّا اَلأَصْحَاحُ ﭐلْخَامِسُ

إِنْجِيلُ يُوحَنَّا اَلأَصْحَاحُ ﭐلْخَامِسُ 7The sick man answered Him, “Sir, I have no man to put me into the pool when the water is stirred up; but while I am coming, another steps down before me.” 8Jesus said to him, “Rise, take up your bed and walk.” 9And immediately the man was made well, took up his bed, and walked. And that day was the Sabbath. 7أَجَابَهُ الْمَرِيضُ: ”يَا سَيِّدُ, لَيْسَ لِي إِنْسَانٌ يُلْقِينِي فِي ﭐلْبِرْكَةِ مَتَى تَحَرَّكَ ﭐلْمَاءُ. بَلْ بَيْنَمَا أَنَا آتٍ, يَنْزِلُ قُدَّامِي آخَرُ“. 8قَالَ لَهُ يَسُوعُ“ قُمِ. ﭐحْمِلْ سَرِيرَكَ وَﭐمْشِ“. 9فَحَالاً بَرِئَ ﭐلإِنْسَانُ وَحَمَلَ سَرِيرَهُ وَمَشَى. وَكَانَ فِي ذَلِكَ ﭐلْيَوْمِ سَبْتٌ.

JOHN CHAPTER 5 إِنْجِيلُ يُوحَنَّا اَلأَصْحَاحُ ﭐلْخَامِسُ

1- It is by Grace alone: Romans 9:15-16 For He said to Moses, "I will have mercy on whom I will have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I will have compassion." (16) So then it is not of the one willing, nor of the one running, but of God, the One showing mercy. لأَنَّهُ يَقُولُ لِمُوسَى: «إِنِّي أَرْحَمُ مَنْ أَرْحَمُ وَأَتَرَاءَفُ عَلَى مَنْ أَتَرَاءَفُ». (16) فَإِذاً لَيْسَ لِمَنْ يَشَاءُ وَلاَ لِمَنْ يَسْعَى بَلْ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي يَرْحَمُ.

2- What are you waiting for: Hebrews 3:7-8 Therefore, as the Holy Spirit says, "Today if you will hear His voice, (8) do not harden your hearts, as in the provocation, in the day of temptation in the wilderness, لِذَلِكَ كَمَا يَقُولُ الرُّوحُ الْقُدُسُ: «الْيَوْمَ إِنْ سَمِعْتُمْ صَوْتَهُ (8) فَلاَ تُقَسُّوا قُلُوبَكُمْ، كَمَا فِي الإِسْخَاطِ، يَوْمَ التَّجْرِبَةِ فِي الْقَفْرِ

3- What do you want from God? Hebrews 2:1-3 Therefore we ought to give the more earnest heed to the things which we have heard, lest at any time we should let them slip. (2) For if the word spoken by angels was steadfast, and if every transgression and disobedience received a just recompense of reward, (3) how shall we escape if we neglect so great a salvation, which at the first began to be spoken by the Lord, and was confirmed unto us by those who heard Him; لِذَلِكَ يَجِبُ أَنْ نَتَنَبَّهَ أَكْثَرَ إِلَى مَا سَمِعْنَا لِئَلاَّ نَفُوتَهُ، (2) لأَنَّهُ إِنْ كَانَتِ الْكَلِمَةُ الَّتِي تَكَلَّمَ بِهَا مَلاَئِكَةٌ قَدْ صَارَتْ ثَابِتَةً، وَكُلُّ تَعَدٍّ وَمَعْصِيَةٍ نَالَ مُجَازَاةً عَادِلَةً، (3) فَكَيْفَ نَنْجُو نَحْنُ إِنْ أَهْمَلْنَا خَلاَصاً هَذَا مِقْدَارُهُ، قَدِ ابْتَدَأَ الرَّبُّ بِالتَّكَلُّمِ بِهِ، ثُمَّ تَثَبَّتَ لَنَا مِنَ الَّذِينَ سَمِعُوا،

4- With Jesus you don’t need man, angel or water: Colossians 1:15-16 He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation. (16) For by him all things were created, in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities—all things were created through him and for him. اَلَّذِي هُوَ صُورَةُ اللهِ غَيْرِ الْمَنْظُورِ، بِكْرُ كُلِّ خَلِيقَةٍ. (16) فَإِنَّهُ فِيهِ خُلِقَ الْكُلُّ: مَا فِي السَّمَاوَاتِ وَمَا عَلَى الأَرْضِ، مَا يُرَى وَمَا لاَ يُرَى، سَوَاءٌ كَانَ عُرُوشاً امْ سِيَادَاتٍ امْ رِيَاسَاتٍ امْ سَلاَطِينَ. الْكُلُّ بِهِ وَلَهُ قَدْ خُلِقَ.

5- Sin can be the reason for sickness: 1 Corinthians 11:29-30 For he who eats and drinks unworthily eats and drinks condemnation to himself, not discerning the Lord's body. (30) For this cause many among you are weak and sickly, and many sleep. لأَنَّ الَّذِي يَأْكُلُ وَيَشْرَبُ بِدُونِ اسْتِحْقَاقٍ يَأْكُلُ وَيَشْرَبُ دَيْنُونَةً لِنَفْسِهِ غَيْرَ مُمَيِّزٍ جَسَدَ الرَّبِّ. (30) مِنْ أَجْلِ هَذَا فِيكُمْ كَثِيرُونَ ضُعَفَاءُ وَمَرْضَى وَكَثِيرُونَ يَرْقُدُونَ.

Summary Faith that works Faith that persists Faith that justifies Faith that obeys It is by Grace The waiting is over What do you want from God? With Jesus, you don’t need anything else Sin can be the reason of sickness

Acts 2:38-39 Then Peter said to them, Repent and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ to remission of sins, and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. (39) For the promise is to you and to your children, and to all those afar off, as many as the Lord our God shall call. فَقَالَ لَهُمْ بُطْرُسُ: «تُوبُوا وَلْيَعْتَمِدْ كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ مِنْكُمْ عَلَى اسْمِ يَسُوعَ الْمَسِيحِ لِغُفْرَانِ الْخَطَايَا فَتَقْبَلُوا عَطِيَّةَ الرُّوحِ الْقُدُسِ. (39) لأَنَّ الْمَوْعِدَ هُوَ لَكُمْ وَلأَوْلاَدِكُمْ وَلِكُلِّ الَّذِينَ عَلَى بُعْدٍ كُلِّ مَنْ يَدْعُوهُ الرَّبُّ إِلَهُنَا». Ephesians 2:5 (even when we were dead in sins) has made us alive together with Christ (by grace you are saved), وَنَحْنُ أَمْوَاتٌ بِالْخَطَايَا أَحْيَانَا مَعَ الْمَسِيحِ - بِالنِّعْمَةِ أَنْتُمْ مُخَلَّصُونَ –
