Jesus had recently comforted his followers with the words: “Have no fear, little flock, because your Father has approved of giving you the kingdom. ”
(‏ لو ١٢ :‏ ٣٢‏ )‏ وَلكِنْ فِي عِيدِ ٱلتَّكْرِيسِ هذَا ،‏ قَالَ يَسُوعُ :‏ « لِي خِرَافٌ أُخَرُ لَيْسَتْ مِنْ هٰذِهِ ٱلْحَظِيرَةِ ،‏ لَا بُدَّ لِي أَنْ آتِيَ بِتِلْكَ أَيْضًا » .‏
