John 6:64
Amharic NASV (አዲሱ መደበኛ ትርጒም)
ይሁን እንጂ ከእናንተ የማያምኑ አንዳንዶች አሉ።” ይህም፣ ኢየሱስ እነማን እንዳላመኑና ማን አሳልፎ እንደሚሰጠው ቀድሞውኑ ያውቅ ስለ ነበር ነው።
What Does This Mean?
Jesus is speaking and points out that some among his followers do not truly believe in him. He knew this from the start, including who would betray him.
Explained for Children
Imagine you have a group of friends, but you know one of them might not really like you or even try to hurt you later on. Jesus was just like that - he could see through people's actions and knew some weren't his true friends.
Historical Background
John wrote this Gospel around the end of the first century AD for a community of believers in Asia Minor. The culture was deeply influenced by Greek philosophy and Roman rule, making faith in Jesus unique yet challenging.
Living It Out Today
Today, we might find someone who seems to support us but actually has different intentions or doesn’t truly believe in our shared goals. Like Jesus, being discerning can protect us from betrayal and disappointment.
