“Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me. In my Father’s house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also. And whither I go ye know, and the way ye know. Thomas saith unto him, Lord, we know not whither thou goest; and how can we know the way? Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. If ye had known me, ye should have known my Father also: and from henceforth ye know him, and have seen him. Philip saith unto him, Lord, show us the Father, and it sufficeth us. Jesus saith unto him, Have I been so long time with you, and yet hast thou not known me, Philip? he that hath seen me hath seen the Father;” (John 14:1-9)Arabic calligraphy text in Arabic (original):
“”لا تضطرب قلوبكم. أنتم تؤمنون بالله فآمنوا بي. في بيت أبي منازل كثيرة، وإلا فإني كنت قد قلت لكم. أنا أمضي لأعد لكم مكانا، وإن مضيت وأعددت لكم مكانا آتي أيضا وآخذكم إلي، حتى حيث أكون أنا تكونون أنتم أيضا، وتعلمون حيث أنا أذهب وتعلمون الطريق”. قال له توما: “يا سيد، لسنا نعلم أين تذهب، فكيف نقدر أن نعرف الطريق؟” قال له يسوع: “أنا هو الطريق والحق والحياة. ليس أحد يأتي إلى الآب إلا بي. لو كنتم قد عرفتموني لعرفتم أبي أيضا. ومن الآن تعرفونه وقد رأيتموه”. قال له فيلبس: “يا سيد، أرنا الآب وكفانا”. قال له يسوع: “أنا معكم زمانا هذه مدته ولم تعرفني يا فيلبس! الذي رآني فقد رأى الآب.”” (يوحنا 14: 1-9)

“The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters. He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name’s sake. Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me. Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the Lord for ever.” (Psalm 23)Arabic calligraphy text in Arabic (original):
“الرب راعيّ فلا يعوزني شيء. في مراع خضر يربضني. الى مياه الراحة يوردني. يرد نفسي.يهديني الى سبل البر من اجل اسمه. ايضا اذا سرت في وادي ظل الموت لا اخاف شرا لانك انت معي. عصاك وعكازك هما يعزيانني. ترتب قدامي مائدة تجاه مضايقيّ. مسحت بالدهن راسي. كاسي ريا. انما خير ورحمة يتبعانني كل ايام حياتي واسكن في بيت الرب الى مدى الايام.” (مزمور 23)
