وَلَمَّا عَرَفَ مِنْ قَائِدِ الْمِئَةِ، وَهَبَ الْجَسَدَ لِيُوسُفَ.And when he knew it of the centurion, he gave the body to Joseph.Mark 15:45, Smith & Van Dyke (1865) / KJV
يُرْسِلُ كَلِمَتَهُ فَيُذِيبُهَا. يَهُبُّ بِرِيحِهِ فَتَسِيلُ الْمِيَاهُ.He sendeth out his word, and melteth them: he causeth his wind to blow, and the waters flow.Psalms 147:18, Smith & Van Dyke (1865) / KJV
لأَنَّهُ قَدْ وُهِبَ لَكُمْ لأَجْلِ الْمَسِيحِ لاَ أَنْ تُؤْمِنُوا بِهِ فَقَطْ، بَلْ أَيْضًا أَنْ تَتَأَلَّمُوا لأَجْلِهِ.For unto you it is given in the behalf of Christ, not only to believe on him, but also to suffer for his sake;Philippians 1:29, Smith & Van Dyke (1865) / KJV
