Ephesians 1:7–17
§ 217
Ephesians 1:7–17 § 217
Brethren, in Christ we have redemption through His Blood, [and] the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of His grace which He made to abound toward us in all wisdom and prudence, having made known unto us the mystery of His will, according to His good pleasure… which He purposed in Himself, that in the dispensation of the fullness of times He might gather together in one all things in Christ, both which are in heaven and which are on earth; even in Him: in whom also we have obtained an inheritance, being predestined according to the purpose of Him who works all things according to the counsel of His own will, that we who first trusted in Christ should be to the praise of His glory. In Him you also trusted, after you heard the word of truth, the Gospel of your salvation; in whom also, having believed, you were sealed with the Holy Spirit of promise, who is the guarantee of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession, unto the praise of His glory. Therefore I also, after I heard of your faith in the Lord Jesus and your love for all the saints … do not cease to give thanks for you, making mention of you in my prayers: that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give to you the spirit of wisdom and revelation…
Luke 4.22-30
§ 14
Luke 4.22-30 § 14
And all bare him witness, and wondered at the gracious words which proceeded out of his mouth. And they said, Is not this Joseph's son?
καὶ πάντες ἐμαρτύρουν αὐτῷ καὶ ἐθαύμαζον ἐπὶ τοῖς λόγοις τῆς χάριτος τοῖς ἐκπορευομένοις ἐκ τοῦ στόματος αὐτοῦ καὶ ἔλεγον· οὐχ οὗτός ἐστιν ὁ υἱὸς Ἰωσήφ;
И҆ всѝ свидѣ́тельствовахꙋ є҆мꙋ̀, [Заⷱ҇ 14] и҆ дивлѧ́хꙋсѧ ѡ҆ словесѣ́хъ блгⷣти, и҆сходѧ́щихъ и҆з̾ ᲂу҆́стъ є҆гѡ̀, и҆ глаго́лахꙋ: не се́й ли є҆́сть сн҃ъ і҆ѡ́сифовъ;
And he said unto them, Ye will surely say unto me this proverb, Physician, heal thyself: whatsoever we have heard done in Capernaum, do also here in thy country.
καὶ εἶπε πρὸς αὐτούς· πάντως ἐρεῖτέ μοι τὴν παραβολὴν ταύτην· ἰατρέ, θεράπευσον σεαυτόν· ὅσα ἠκούσαμεν γενόμενα ἐν τῇ Καπερναούμ, ποίησον καὶ ὧδε ἐν τῇ πατρίδι σου.
И҆ речѐ къ ни̑мъ: всѧ́кѡ рече́те мѝ при́тчꙋ сїю̀: врачꙋ̀, и҆сцѣли́сѧ са́мъ: є҆ли̑ка слы́шахомъ бы̑вшаѧ въ капернаꙋ́мѣ, сотворѝ и҆ здѣ̀ во ѻ҆те́чествїи свое́мъ.
And he said, Verily I say unto you, No prophet is accepted in his own country.
εἶπε δέ· ἀμὴν λέγω ὑμῖν ὅτι οὐδεὶς προφήτης δεκτός ἐστιν ἐν τῇ πατρίδι αὐτοῦ.
Рече́ же: а҆ми́нь гл҃ю ва́мъ, ꙗ҆́кѡ никото́рый прⷪ҇ро́къ прїѧ́тенъ є҆́сть во ѻ҆те́чествїи свое́мъ:
But I tell you of a truth, many widows were in Israel in the days of Elias, when the heaven was shut up three years and six months, when great famine was throughout all the land;
ἐπ᾿ ἀληθείας δὲ λέγω ὑμῖν, πολλαὶ χῆραι ἦσαν ἐν ταῖς ἡμέραις Ἠλιοὺ ἐν τῷ Ἰσραήλ, ὅτε ἐκλείσθη ὁ οὐρανὸς ἐπὶ ἔτη τρία καὶ μῆνας ἕξ, ὡς ἐγένετο λιμὸς μέγας ἐπὶ πᾶσαν τὴν γῆν,
пои́стиннѣ же гл҃ю ва́мъ: мнѡ́ги вдови̑цы бѣ́ша во дни̑ и҆лїины̑ во і҆и҃ли, є҆гда̀ заключи́сѧ не́бо трѝ лѣ̑та и҆ мцⷭ҇ъ ше́сть, ꙗ҆́кѡ бы́сть гла́дъ вели́къ по все́й землѝ:
But unto none of them was Elias sent, save unto Sarepta, a city of Sidon, unto a woman that was a widow.
καὶ πρὸς οὐδεμίαν αὐτῶν ἐπέμφθη Ἠλίας εἰ μὴ εἰς Σάρεπτα τῆς Σιδωνίας πρὸς γυναῖκα χήραν.
и҆ ни ко є҆ди́нѣй и҆́хъ по́сланъ бы́сть и҆лїа̀, то́кмѡ въ саре́птꙋ сїдѡ́нскꙋю къ женѣ̀ вдови́цѣ:
And many lepers were in Israel in the time of Eliseus the prophet; and none of them was cleansed, saving Naaman the Syrian.
καὶ πολλοὶ λεπροὶ ἦσαν ἐπὶ Ἐλισαίου τοῦ προφήτου ἐν τῷ Ἰσραήλ, καὶ οὐδεὶς αὐτῶν ἐκαθαρίσθη εἰ μὴ Νεεμὰν ὁ Σύρος.
и҆ мно́зи прокаже́ни бѣ́хꙋ при є҆лїссе́и прⷪ҇ро́цѣ во і҆и҃ли: и҆ ни є҆ди́нъ же ѿ ни́хъ ѡ҆чи́стисѧ, то́кмѡ неема́нъ сѷрїани́нъ.
And all they in the synagogue, when they heard these things, were filled with wrath,
καὶ ἐπλήσθησαν πάντες θυμοῦ ἐν τῇ συναγωγῇ ἀκούοντες ταῦτα,
И҆ и҆спо́лнишасѧ всѝ ꙗ҆́рости въ со́нмищи, слы́шавшїи сїѧ̑:
And rose up, and thrust him out of the city, and led him unto the brow of the hill whereon their city was built, that they might cast him down headlong.
καὶ ἀναστάντες ἐξέβαλον αὐτὸν ἔξω τῆς πόλεως καὶ ἤγαγον αὐτὸν ἕως ὀφρύος τοῦ ὄρους, ἐφ᾿ οὗ ἡ πόλις αὐτῶν ᾠκοδόμητο, εἰς τὸ κατακρημνίσαι αὐτόν.
и҆ воста́вше и҆згна́ша є҆го̀ во́нъ и҆з̾ гра́да, и҆ ведо́ша є҆го̀ до верхꙋ̀ горы̀, на не́йже гра́дъ и҆́хъ со́зданъ бѧ́ше, да бы́ша є҆го̀ низри́нꙋли:
But he passing through the midst of them went his way,
αὐτὸς δὲ διελθὼν διὰ μέσου αὐτῶν ἐπορεύετο.
ѻ҆́нъ же проше́дъ посредѣ̀ и҆́хъ, и҆дѧ́ше.
