Multiline Text output in javafx

I need to output 5-8 lines to my window. I managed that with a TextArea, BUT, i don't want the user to be able to write inside it, AND I also can't use my keyboard to navigate between buttons and other elements on the page.

Lets say that there is a String named text, which field type do you think i should write it out into? Text is good but only lets me use a single line.

Text  actiontarget3;
String text = new String(" something  \n  Second line something");
actiontarget4.setText(text);

Because I use FXML to design the menu page, the relevant part is:

  <Text  fx:id="actiontarget3"
  GridPane.columnIndex="1" GridPane.rowIndex="1"/>

Basically, I managed to get the info from a ping test, added it to an ArrayList<String> and I want to display the results on the Graphic User Interface. But the above example covers my problems without having to copy paste here the entire code.

You can make it so a TextArea is not editable.

JTextArea ta = new JTextArea();
ta.setEditable(false);

You may also want to look into using a JTextPane.
