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 9.57-62
§ 49
Luke 9.57-62 § 49
And it came to pass, that, as they went in the way, a certain man said unto him, Lord, I will follow thee whithersoever thou goest.
Ἐγένετο δὲ πορευομένων αὐτῶν ἐν τῇ ὁδῷ εἶπέ τις πρὸς αὐτόν· ἀκολουθήσω σοι ὅπου ἐὰν ἀπέρχῃ, Κύριε.
[Заⷱ҇ 49] Бы́сть же и҆дꙋ́щымъ и҆̀мъ по пꙋтѝ, речѐ нѣ́кїй къ немꙋ̀: и҆дꙋ̀ по тебѣ̀, а҆́може а҆́ще и҆́деши, гдⷭ҇и.
And Jesus said unto him, Foxes have holes, and birds of the air have nests; but the Son of man hath not where to lay his head.
καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ ὁ Ἰησοῦς· αἱ ἀλώπεκες φωλεοὺς ἔχουσι καὶ τὰ πετεινὰ τοῦ οὐρανοῦ κατασκηνώσεις, ὁ δὲ υἱὸς τοῦ ἀνθρώπου οὐκ ἔχει ποῦ τὴν κεφαλὴν κλίνῃ.
И҆ речѐ є҆мꙋ̀ і҆и҃съ: ли́си ꙗ҆́звины и҆́мꙋтъ, и҆ пти̑цы небє́сныѧ гнѣ́зда: сн҃ъ же чл҃вѣ́ческїй не и҆́мать гдѣ̀ главꙋ̀ подклони́ти.
And he said unto another, Follow me. But he said, Lord, suffer me first to go and bury my father.
εἶπε δὲ πρὸς ἕτερον· ἀκολούθει μοι· ὁ δὲ εἶπε· Κύριε, ἐπίτρεψόν μοι ἀπελθόντι πρῶτον θάψαι τὸν πατέρα μου.
Рече́ же ко дрꙋго́мꙋ: ходѝ в̾слѣ́дъ менє̀. Ѻ҆́нъ же речѐ: гдⷭ҇и, повели́ ми, (да) ше́дъ пре́жде погребꙋ̀ ѻ҆тца̀ моего̀.
Jesus said unto him, Let the dead bury their dead: but go thou and preach the kingdom of God.
εἶπε δὲ αὐτῷ ὁ Ἰησοῦς· ἄφες τοὺς νεκροὺς θάψαι τοὺς ἑαυτῶν νεκρούς· σὺ δὲ ἀπελθὼν διάγγελλε τὴν βασιλείαν τοῦ Θεοῦ.
Рече́ же є҆мꙋ̀ і҆и҃съ: ѡ҆ста́ви мє́ртвыѧ погребстѝ своѧ̑ мертвецы̀: ты́ же ше́дъ возвѣща́й црⷭ҇твїе бж҃їе.
And another also said, Lord, I will follow thee; but let me first go bid them farewell, which are at home at my house.
Εἶπε δὲ καὶ ἕτερος· ἀκολουθήσω σοι, Κύριε· πρῶτον δὲ ἐπίτρεψόν μοι ἀποτάξασθαι τοῖς εἰς τὸν οἶκόν μου.
Рече́ же и҆ дрꙋгі́й: и҆дꙋ̀ по тебѣ̀, гдⷭ҇и: пре́жде же повели́ ми ѿвѣща́тисѧ, и҆̀же сꙋ́ть {попрости́тисѧ съ сꙋ́щими} въ домꙋ̀ мое́мъ.
And Jesus said unto him, No man, having put his hand to the plough, and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God.
εἶπε δὲ ὁ Ἰησοῦς πρὸς αὐτόν· οὐδεὶς ἐπιβαλὼν τὴν χεῖρα αὐτοῦ ἐπ᾿ ἄροτρον καὶ βλέπων εἰς τὰ ὀπίσω εὔθετός ἐστιν εἰς τὴν βασιλείαν τοῦ Θεοῦ.
Рече́ же къ немꙋ̀ і҆и҃съ: никто́же возло́жь рꙋ́кꙋ свою̀ на ра́ло и҆ зрѧ̀ вспѧ́ть, ᲂу҆пра́вленъ є҆́сть въ црⷭ҇твїи бж҃їи.
