John 16:30

Arabic Bible ERV 2009

وَنَحنُ نَعرِفُ الآنَ أنَّكَ تَعلَمُ كُلَّ شَيءٍ، وَأنَّكَ تُجِيبُ عَنْ سُؤالِ أيِّ إنسانٍ حَتَّى قَبلَ أنْ يَسألَ، لِهَذا نُؤمِنُ أنَّكَ جِئْتَ مِنَ اللهِ.»

What Does This Mean?

This verse is part of Jesus' farewell discourse to his disciples. He reassures them that he knows everything and doesn't need anyone to ask him questions, which strengthens their belief that he came from God.

Explained for Children
