Hebrews § 329
, when he was tested, offered up Isaac, and he who had received the promises offered up his only begotten son, of whom it was said, “in Isaac shall thy seed be called,” accounting that God was able to raise him up, even from the dead, so to say, from which he also received him. By faith Isaac blessed Jacob and Ésau concerning things to come. By faith Jacob, when he was dying, blessed both the sons of Joseph, and worshipped, leaning upon the top of his staff. By faith Joseph, when he was dying, made mention of the departure of the children of Israel, and gave instructions concerning his bones. By faith Moses, when he was born, was hidden three months by his parents, because they saw he was a beautiful child; and they were not afraid of the king’s commandment… By faith he forsook Egypt, not fearing the wrath of the king; for he endured, as seeing Him who is invisible. By faith he kept the Passover and the sprinkling of blood, lest he who destroyed the firstborn should touch them. By faith they passed through the Red Sea as by dry land, whereas the Egyptians, attempting to do so, were drowned. By faith the walls of Jericho fell down after they were compassed about for seven days. By faith the harlot Ráhab did not perish with those that did not believe, when she had received the spies with peace.

Luke 17.20-25 § 86
And when he was demanded of the Pharisees, when the kingdom of God should come, he answered them and said, The kingdom of God cometh not with observation:
Ἐπερωτηθεὶς δὲ ὑπὸ τῶν Φαρισαίων πότε ἔρχεται ἡ βασιλεία τοῦ Θεοῦ, ἀπεκρίθη αὐτοῖς καὶ εἶπεν· οὐκ ἔρχεται ἡ βασιλεία τοῦ Θεοῦ μετὰ παρατηρήσεως,
[Заⷱ҇ 86] Вопроше́нъ же бы́въ ѿ фарїсє́й, когда̀ прїи́детъ црⷭ҇твїе бж҃їе, ѿвѣща́въ и҆̀мъ речѐ: не прїи́детъ црⷭ҇твїе бж҃їе съ соблюде́нїемъ {со ᲂу҆смотре́нїемъ}:
Neither shall they say, Lo here! or, lo there! for, behold, the kingdom of God is within you.
οὐδὲ ἐροῦσιν ἰδοὺ ὧδε ἢ ἰδοὺ ἐκεῖ· ἰδοὺ γὰρ ἡ βασιλεία τοῦ Θεοῦ ἐντὸς ὑμῶν ἐστιν.
нижѐ рекꙋ́тъ: сѐ здѣ̀, и҆лѝ: ѻ҆́ндѣ. Се́ бо, црⷭ҇твїе бж҃їе внꙋ́трь ва́съ є҆́сть.
And he said unto the disciples, The days will come, when ye shall desire to see one of the days of the Son of man, and ye shall not see it.
εἶπε δὲ πρὸς τοὺς μαθητάς· ἐλεύσονται ἡμέραι ὅτε ἐπιθυμήσετε μίαν τῶν ἡμερῶν τοῦ υἱοῦ τοῦ ἀνθρώπου ἰδεῖν, καὶ οὐκ ὄψεσθε.
Рече́ же ко ᲂу҆чн҃кѡ́мъ (свои̑мъ): прїи́дꙋтъ дні́е, є҆гда̀ вожделѣ́ете є҆ди́нагѡ днѐ сн҃а чл҃вѣ́ческагѡ ви́дѣти, и҆ не ᲂу҆́зрите:
And they shall say to you, See here; or, see there: go not after them, nor follow them.
καὶ ἐροῦσιν ὑμῖν· ἰδοὺ ὧδε, ἰδοὺ ἐκεῖ· μὴ ἀπέλθητε μηδὲ διώξητε.
и҆ рекꙋ́тъ ва́мъ: сѐ здѣ̀, и҆лѝ: сѐ, ѻ҆́ндѣ: не и҆зы́дите, ни пожени́те:
For as the lightning, that lighteneth out of the one part under heaven, shineth unto the other part under heaven; so shall also the Son of man be in his day.
ὥσπερ γὰρ ἡ ἀστραπὴ ἀστράπτουσα ἐκ τῆς ὑπ᾿ οὐρανὸν εἰς τὴν ὑπ᾿ οὐρανὸν λάμπει, οὕτως ἔσται καὶ ὁ υἱὸς τοῦ ἀνθρώπου ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ αὐτοῦ.
ꙗ҆́кѡ бо мо́лнїѧ блиста́ющисѧ ѿ поднебе́сныѧ на поднебе́снѣй свѣ́титсѧ: та́кѡ бꙋ́детъ сн҃ъ чл҃вѣ́ческїй въ де́нь сво́й.
But first must he suffer many things, and be rejected of this generation.
πρῶτον δὲ δεῖ αὐτὸν πολλὰ παθεῖν καὶ ἀποδοκιμασθῆναι ἀπὸ τῆς γενεᾶς ταύτης.
Пре́жде же подоба́етъ є҆мꙋ̀ мно́гѡ пострада́ти и҆ и҆скꙋше́нꙋ {ѿве́рженꙋ} бы́ти ѿ ро́да сегѡ̀.
