2 Corinthians 3:12–21
§ 174
2 Corinthians 3:12–21 § 174
Brethren, since we have such hope, we use great boldness of speech—unlike Moses, who put a veil over his face so that the children of Israel could not look steadily at the end of what was passing away. But their minds were hardened. For until this day the same veil remains unlifted in the reading of the Old Testament, because the veil is taken away in Christ. But even unto this day, when Moses is read, a veil lies on their heart. Nevertheless when one turns to the Lord, the veil is taken away. Now the Lord is that Spirit; and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty. But we all, with unveiled face, beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord.
Luke 9.37-43
§ 46
Luke 9.37-43 § 46
And it came to pass, that on the next day, when they were come down from the hill, much people met him.
Ἐγένετο δὲ ἐν τῇ ἑξῆς ἡμέρᾳ κατελθόντων αὐτῶν ἀπὸ τοῦ ὄρους συνήντησεν αὐτῷ ὄχλος πολύς.
[Заⷱ҇ 46] Бы́сть же въ про́чїй де́нь, сше́дшымъ и҆̀мъ съ горы̀, срѣ́те є҆го̀ наро́дъ мно́гъ.
And, behold, a man of the company cried out, saying, Master, I beseech thee, look upon my son: for he is mine only child.
καὶ ἰδοὺ ἀνὴρ ἀπὸ τοῦ ὄχλου ἀνεβόησε λέγων· διδάσκαλε, δέομαί σου, ἐπίβλεψον ἐπὶ τὸν υἱόν μου, ὅτι μονογενής μοί ἐστι·
И҆ сѐ, мꙋ́жъ и҆з̾ наро́да возопѝ, глаго́лѧ: ᲂу҆чт҃лю, молю́тисѧ, при́зри на сы́на моего̀, ꙗ҆́кѡ є҆диноро́денъ мѝ є҆́сть:
And, lo, a spirit taketh him, and he suddenly crieth out; and it teareth him that he foameth again, and bruising him hardly departeth from him.
καὶ ἰδοὺ πνεῦμα λαμβάνει αὐτόν, καὶ ἐξαίφνης κράζει καὶ σπαράσσει αὐτὸν μετὰ ἀφροῦ, καὶ μόγις ἀποχωρεῖ ἀπ᾿ αὐτοῦ συντρῖβον αὐτόν·
и҆ сѐ дꙋ́хъ є҆́млетъ є҆го̀, и҆ внеза́пꙋ вопїе́тъ, и҆ прꙋжа́етсѧ {терза́етъ є҆го̀} съ пѣ́нами, и҆ є҆два̀ ѿхо́дитъ ѿ негѡ̀, сокрꙋша́ѧ є҆го̀:
And I besought thy disciples to cast him out; and they could not.
καὶ ἐδεήθην τῶν μαθητῶν σου ἵνα ἐκβάλωσιν αὐτό, καὶ οὐκ ἠδυνήθησαν.
и҆ моли́хсѧ ᲂу҆чн҃кѡ́мъ твои̑мъ, да и҆жденꙋ́тъ є҆го̀: и҆ не возмого́ша.
And Jesus answering said, O faithless and perverse generation, how long shall I be with you, and suffer you? Bring thy son hither.
ἀποκριθεὶς δὲ ὁ Ἰησοῦς εἶπεν· ὦ γενεὰ ἄπιστος καὶ διεστραμμένη, ἕως πότε ἔσομαι πρὸς ὑμᾶς καὶ ἀνέξομαι ὑμῶν; προσάγαγε τὸν υἱόν σου ὧδε.
Ѿвѣща́въ же і҆и҃съ речѐ: ѽ, ро́де невѣ́рный и҆ развраще́нный, доко́лѣ бꙋ́дꙋ въ ва́съ и҆ терплю̀ вы̀; приведи́ (ми) сы́на твоего̀ сѣ́мѡ.
And as he was yet a coming, the devil threw him down, and tare him. And Jesus rebuked the unclean spirit, and healed the child, and delivered him again to his father.
ἔτι δὲ προσερχομένου αὐτοῦ ἔρρηξεν αὐτὸν τὸ δαιμόνιον καὶ συνεσπάραξεν· ἐπετίμησε δὲ ὁ Ἰησοῦς τῷ πνεύματι τῷ ἀκαθάρτῳ, καὶ ἰάσατο τὸν παῖδα καὶ ἀπέδωκεν αὐτὸν τῷ πατρὶ αὐτοῦ.
Є҆ще́ же грѧдꙋ́щꙋ є҆мꙋ̀, пове́рже є҆го̀ бѣ́съ и҆ стрѧсѐ. Запрети́ же і҆и҃съ дꙋ́хови нечи́стомꙋ, и҆ и҆сцѣлѝ ѻ҆́трока, и҆ вдадѐ є҆го̀ ѻ҆тцꙋ̀ є҆гѡ̀.
And they were all amazed at the mighty power of God. But while they wondered every one at all things which Jesus did, he said unto his disciples,
ἐξεπλήσσοντο δὲ πάντες ἐπὶ τῇ μεγαλειότητι τοῦ Θεοῦ. πάντων δὲ θαυμαζόντων ἐπὶ πᾶσιν οἷς ἐποίησεν ὁ Ἰησοῦς, εἶπε πρὸς τοὺς μαθητὰς αὐτοῦ·
Дивлѧ́хꙋсѧ же всѝ ѡ҆ вели́чїи бж҃їи. [Заⷱ҇ 47] Всѣ̑мъ же чꙋдѧ́щымсѧ ѡ҆ всѣ́хъ, ꙗ҆̀же творѧ́ше і҆и҃съ, речѐ ко ᲂу҆чн҃кѡ́мъ свои̑мъ:
