John 13:3

Arabic Bible ERV 2009

وَمَعْ أنَّ يَسُوعَ كانَ يَعلَمُ أنَّ الآبَ قَدْ أعطاهُ سُلطاناً عَلَى كُلِّ شَيءٍ، وَأنَّهُ جاءَ مِنَ اللهِ وَأنَّهُ راجِعٌ إلَيْهِ،

What Does This Mean?

This verse tells us that Jesus knew he was very powerful because God gave him control over everything. He also understood that he came from God and would return to God after his time on Earth.

Explained for Children

Imagine you have a toy box, and your parents put all the toys in it for you to play with. That's like Jesus having power over everything given by God. Also, think about going on a trip but knowing you'll come back home later - that's how Jesus felt about coming from God and then returning.
