John 19:26
Arabic Bible AVDDV 1999 (الكتاب المقدس (تخفيف تشكيل))
What Does This Mean?
This verse is from the Gospel of John and describes Jesus on the cross telling his mother, Mary, that he's entrusting her to the care of a beloved disciple. It shows Jesus' concern for his family even in his final moments.
Explained for Children
Imagine if you were playing hide-and-seek with your friends at school. You're hiding behind a tree and see your mom watching from afar. Then, you point to one of your best friends and say, 'Mom, can I trust him to take care of you?' That's kind of what Jesus is doing here.
Historical Background
The Gospel of John was written by the Apostle John around 90 AD. It was intended for early Christian communities to understand who Jesus was and his mission. In this scene, we see a deeply personal moment in the midst of a highly charged event.
Living It Out Today
Today, if someone is facing a difficult situation, they might think about how they can care for others even when they're struggling themselves. Like if a parent is sick but makes sure their child has someone to look after them.
