2 Corinthians 1:8–11
§ 168
2 Corinthians 1:8–11 § 168
Brethren, I do not want you to be ignorant of our trouble which came to us in Asia: that we were burdened beyond measure, above strength, so that we despaired even of life. But we had the sentence of death in ourselves, that we should not trust in ourselves but in God who raises the dead, who delivered us from so great a death, and does deliver us; in whom we trust that He will still deliver us, you also helping together in prayer for us, that thanks may be given by many persons on our behalf for the gift granted to us through many.
Luke 9.1-6
§ 40
Luke 9.1-6 § 40
THEN he called his twelve disciples together, and gave them power and authority over all devils, and to cure diseases.
Συγκαλεσάμενος δὲ τοὺς δώδεκα μαθητὰς αὐτοῦ ἔδωκεν αὐτοῖς δύναμιν καὶ ἐξουσίαν ἐπὶ πάντα τὰ δαιμόνια καὶ νόσους θεραπεύειν·
[Заⷱ҇ 40] Созва́въ же ѻ҆бана́десѧте, дадѐ и҆̀мъ си́лꙋ и҆ вла́сть на всѧ̑ бѣ́сы, и҆ недꙋ́ги цѣли́ти:
And he sent them to preach the kingdom of God, and to heal the sick.
καὶ ἀπέστειλεν αὐτοὺς κηρύσσειν τὴν βασιλείαν τοῦ Θεοῦ καὶ ἰᾶσθαι τοὺς ἀσθενοῦντας,
и҆ посла̀ и҆̀хъ проповѣ́дати црⷭ҇твїе бж҃їе и҆ и҆сцѣли́ти болѧ́щыѧ.
And he said unto them, Take nothing for your journey, neither staves, nor scrip, neither bread, neither money; neither have two coats apiece.
καὶ εἶπε πρὸς αὐτούς· μηδὲν αἴρετε εἰς τὴν ὁδόν, μήτε ράβδους μήτε πήραν μήτε ἄρτον μήτε ἀργύριον μήτε ἀνὰ δύο χιτῶνας ἔχειν.
И҆ речѐ къ ни̑мъ: ничесѡ́же возми́те на пꙋ́ть: ни жезла̀, ни пи́ры, ни хлѣ́ба, ни сребра̀, ни по двѣма̀ ри́зама и҆мѣ́ти:
And whatsoever house ye enter into, there abide, and thence depart.
καὶ εἰς ἣν ἂν οἰκίαν εἰσέλθητε, ἐκεῖ μένετε καὶ ἐκεῖθεν ἐξέρχεσθε.
и҆ во́ньже до́мъ вни́дете, тꙋ̀ пребыва́йте и҆ ѿтꙋ́дꙋ и҆сходи́те:
And whosoever will not receive you, when ye go out of that city, shake off the very dust from your feet for a testimony against them.
καὶ ὅσοι ἐὰν μὴ δέξωνται ὑμᾶς, ἐξερχόμενοι ἀπὸ τῆς πόλεως ἐκείνης καὶ τὸν κονιορτὸν ἀπὸ τῶν ποδῶν ὑμῶν ἀποτινάξατε εἰς μαρτύριον ἐπ᾿ αὐτούς.
и҆ є҆ли́цы а҆́ще не прїе́млютъ ва́съ, и҆сходѧ́ще ѿ гра́да тогѡ̀, и҆ пра́хъ ѿ но́гъ ва́шихъ ѿтрѧси́те, во свидѣ́тельство на нѧ̀.
And they departed, and went through the towns, preaching the gospel, and healing every where.
ἐξερχόμενοι δὲ διήρχοντο κατὰ τὰς κώμας εὐαγγελιζόμενοι καὶ θεραπεύοντες πανταχοῦ.
И҆сходѧ́ще же прохожда́хꙋ сквозѣ̀ вє́си, благовѣствꙋ́юще и҆ и҆сцѣлѧ́юще всю́дꙋ.
