Hebrews 8:7–13 § 319

Hebrews 8:7–13 § 319

Brethren, if the first covenant had been faultless, then no place would have been sought for a second. Because finding fault with them, He says: “Behold, the days are coming, saith the Lord, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah: not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day when I took them by the hand to lead them out of the land of Egypt; because they did not continue in My covenant, and I regarded them not, saith the Lord. For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, saith the Lord, I will put My laws in their mind and write them in their hearts; and I will be their God, and they shall be My people. And they shall not teach every man his neighbor, and every man his brother, saying, ‘Know the Lord:’ for all shall know Me, from the least to the greatest. For I will be merciful to their unrighteousness, and their sins and their lawless deeds will I remember no more.” For in that He says, “A new covenant,” He has made the first one obsolete. Now that which decays and grows old is ready to vanish away.

Mark 10.46-52 § 48

Mark 10.46-52 § 48

46

And they came to Jericho: and as he went out of Jericho with his disciples and a great number of people, blind Bartimaeus, the son of Timaeus, sat by the highway side begging.

Καὶ ἔρχονται εἰς Ἱεριχώ. καὶ ἐκπορευομένου αὐτοῦ ἀπὸ Ἱεριχὼ καὶ τῶν μαθητῶν αὐτοῦ καὶ ὄχλου ἱκανοῦ, ὁ υἱὸς Τιμαίου Βαρτιμαῖος τυφλὸς ἐκάθητο παρὰ τὴν ὁδὸν προσαιτῶν.

[Заⷱ҇ 48] И҆ прїидо́ша во і҆ерїхѡ́нъ. И҆ и҆сходѧ́щꙋ є҆мꙋ̀ ѿ і҆ерїхѡ́на, и҆ ᲂу҆чн҃кѡ́мъ є҆гѡ̀, и҆ наро́дꙋ мно́гꙋ, сы́нъ тїме́овъ варті́мей слѣпы́й сѣдѧ́ше при пꙋтѝ, просѧ̀.

47

And when he heard that it was Jesus of Nazareth, he began to cry out, and say, Jesus, thou son of David, have mercy on me.

καὶ ἀκούσας ὅτι Ἰησοῦς ὁ Ναζωραῖός ἐστιν, ἤρξατο κράζειν καὶ λέγειν· υἱὲ Δαυῒδ Ἰησοῦ, ἐλέησόν με.

И҆ слы́шавъ, ꙗ҆́кѡ і҆и҃съ назѡрѧни́нъ є҆́сть, нача́тъ зва́ти и҆ глаго́лати: сн҃е дв҃довъ і҆и҃се, поми́лꙋй мѧ̀.

48

And many charged him that he should hold his peace: but he cried the more a great deal, Thou son of David, have mercy on me.

καὶ ἐπετίμων αὐτῷ πολλοὶ ἵνα σιωπήσῃ· ὁ δὲ πολλῷ μᾶλλον ἔκραζεν· υἱὲ Δαυΐδ, ἐλέησόν με.

И҆ преща́хꙋ є҆мꙋ̀ мно́зи, да ᲂу҆молчи́тъ: ѻ҆́нъ же мно́жае па́че зва́ше: сн҃е дв҃довъ, поми́лꙋй мѧ̀.

49

And Jesus stood still, and commanded him to be called. And they call the blind man, saying unto him, Be of good comfort, rise; he calleth thee.

καὶ στὰς ὁ Ἰησοῦς εἶπε· φωνήσατε αὐτόν· καὶ φωνοῦσι τὸν τυφλὸν λέγοντες αὐτῷ· θάρσει, ἔγειρε· φωνεῖ σε.

И҆ ста́въ і҆и҃съ, речѐ є҆го̀ возгласи́ти. И҆ возгласи́ша слѣпца̀, глаго́люще є҆мꙋ̀: дерза́й, воста́ни, зове́тъ тѧ̀.

50

And he, casting away his garment, rose, and came to Jesus.

ὁ δὲ ἀποβαλὼν τὸ ἱμάτιον αὐτοῦ ἀναστὰς ἦλθε πρὸς τὸν Ἰησοῦν.

Ѻ҆́нъ же ѿве́ргъ ри̑зы своѧ̑, воста́въ прїи́де ко і҆и҃сови.

51

And Jesus answered and said unto him, What wilt thou that I should do unto thee? The blind man said unto him, Lord, that I might receive my sight.

καὶ ἀποκριθεὶς λέγει αὐτῷ ὁ Ἰησοῦς· τί σοι θέλεις ποιήσω; ὁ δὲ τυφλὸς εἶπεν αὐτῷ· ραββουνί, ἵνα ἀναβλέψω.

И҆ ѿвѣща́въ гл҃а є҆мꙋ̀ і҆и҃съ: что̀ хо́щеши, да сотворю̀ тебѣ̀; Слѣпы́й же глаго́ла є҆мꙋ̀: ᲂу҆чт҃лю, да прозрю̀.

52

And Jesus said unto him, Go thy way; thy faith hath made thee whole. And immediately he received his sight, and followed Jesus in the way.

καὶ ὁ Ἰησοῦς εἶπεν αὐτῷ· ὕπαγε, ἡ πίστις σου σέσωκέ σε. καὶ εὐθέως ἀνέβλεψε, καὶ ἠκολούθει τῷ Ἰησοῦ ἐν τῇ ὁδῷ.

І҆и҃съ же речѐ є҆мꙋ̀: и҆дѝ: вѣ́ра твоѧ̀ сп҃се́ тѧ. И҆ а҆́бїе прозрѣ̀ и҆ по і҆и҃сѣ и҆́де въ пꙋ́ть.
