1 Thessalonians 2:9–14
§ 265
1 Thessalonians 2:9–14 § 265
Brethren, you remember our labor and toil; for laboring night and day, that we might not be a burden to any of you, we preached unto you the Gospel of God. You are witnesses, and God also, how devoutly and justly and blamelessly we behaved ourselves among you that believe; as you know how we exhorted, and comforted, and charged every one of you, as a father does his own children, that you would walk worthy of God, who has called you into His Kingdom and glory. For this reason we also thank God without ceasing, because when you received the word of God which you heard from us, you welcomed it not as the word of men, but as it is in truth, the word of God, which also effectively works in you that believe… For you, brethren, became followers of the Churches of God which are in Judea in Christ Jesus…
Luke 18.31-34
§ 92
Luke 18.31-34 § 92
Then he took unto him the twelve, and said unto them, Behold, we go up to Jerusalem, and all things that are written by the prophets concerning the Son of man shall be accomplished.
Παραλαβὼν δὲ τοὺς δώδεκα εἶπε πρὸς αὐτούς· ἰδοὺ ἀναβαίνομεν εἰς Ἱεροσόλυμα καὶ τελειωθήσεται πάντα τὰ γεγραμμένα διὰ τῶν προφητῶν τῷ υἱῷ τοῦ ἀνθρώπου.
[Заⷱ҇ 92] Пое́мь же ѻ҆бана́десѧте ᲂу҆чн҃кѝ своѧ̑, речѐ къ ни̑мъ: сѐ, восхо́димъ во і҆ерⷭли́мъ, и҆ сконча́ютсѧ всѧ̑ пи̑саннаѧ прⷪ҇рѡ́ки ѡ҆ сн҃ѣ чл҃вѣ́честѣ:
For he shall be delivered unto the Gentiles, and shall be mocked, and spitefully entreated, and spitted on:
παραδοθήσεται γὰρ τοῖς ἔθνεσι καὶ ἐμπαιχθήσεται καὶ ὑβρισθήσεται καὶ ἐμπτυσθήσεται,
предадѧ́тъ бо є҆го̀ ꙗ҆зы́кѡмъ и҆ порꙋга́ютсѧ є҆мꙋ̀, и҆ ᲂу҆корѧ́тъ є҆го̀ и҆ ѡ҆плю́ютъ є҆го̀,
And they shall scourge him, and put him to death: and the third day he shall rise again.
καὶ μαστιγώσαντες ἀποκτενοῦσιν αὐτόν, καὶ τῇ ἡμέρᾳ τῇ τρίτῃ ἀναστήσεται.
и҆ би́вше ᲂу҆бїю́тъ є҆го̀: и҆ въ тре́тїй де́нь воскрⷭ҇нетъ.
And they understood none of these things: and this saying was hid from them, neither knew they the things which were spoken.
καὶ αὐτοὶ οὐδὲν τούτων συνῆκαν, καὶ ἦν τὸ ρῆμα τοῦτο κεκρυμμένον ἀπ᾿ αὐτῶν, καὶ οὐκ ἐγίνωσκον τὰ λεγόμενα.
И҆ ті́и ничесѡ́же ѿ си́хъ разꙋмѣ́ша: и҆ бѣ̀ гл҃го́лъ се́й сокрове́нъ ѿ ни́хъ, и҆ не разꙋмѣва́хꙋ гл҃го́лемыхъ.
