Galatians
§ 198
Galatians § 198
(not of men, neither by man, but by Jesus Christ, and God the Father, who raised Him from the dead); and all the brethren which are with me, to the Churches of Galátia … Grace be to you, and peace, from God the Father, and from our Lord Jesus Christ, Who gave Himself for our sins, that He might deliver us from this present evil world, according to the will of our God and our Father, to Whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen. I marvel that you are turning away so soon from Him who called you in the grace of Christ, to another gospel, not that there is another, but there are some who trouble you and would pervert the Gospel of Christ. But even if we, or an Angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed. As we have said before, so now I say again, if any man preaches any other gospel to you than what you have received, let him be accursed. For do I now persuade men, or God? Or do I seek to please men? For if I still pleased men, I would not be the servant of Christ. … Now concerning the things which I write unto you, indeed, before God, I do not lie. Afterward I went into the regions of Syria and Cilícia; and I was unknown by face unto the Churches of Judea which were in Christ. But they had heard only, “He who persecuted us in times past now preaches the faith which once he tried to destroy.” And they glorified God in me… Then after fourteen years I went up again to Jerusalem with Barnabas, and took Titus with me also. And I went up by revelation, and communicated unto them that Gospel which I preach among the Gentiles, but privately to those who were of reputation, lest by any means I might run, or had run, in vain. Yet not even Titus who was with me, being a Greek, was compelled to be circumcised. But this occurred because of false brethren secretly brought in (who came in by stealth to spy out our liberty which we have in Christ Jesus, that they might bring us into bondage), to whom we did not yield submission even for an hour, that the truth of the Gospel might continue with you.
Luke 6.12-19
§ 23
Luke 6.12-19 § 23
And it came to pass in those days, that he went out into a mountain to pray, and continued all night in prayer to God.
Ἐγένετο δὲ ἐν ταῖς ἡμέραις ταύταις ἐξῆλθεν εἰς τὸ ὄρος προσεύξασθαι καὶ ἦν διανυκτερεύων ἐν τῇ προσευχῇ τοῦ Θεοῦ.
[Заⷱ҇ 23] Бы́сть же во дни̑ ты̑ѧ, и҆зы́де въ го́рꙋ помоли́тисѧ: и҆ бѣ̀ ѡ҆б̾ но́щь въ мл҃твѣ бж҃їи.
And when it was day, he called unto him his disciples: and of them he chose twelve, whom also he named apostles;
καὶ ὅτε ἐγένετο ἡμέρα, προσεφώνησε τοὺς μαθητὰς αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἐκλεξάμενος ἀπ᾿ αὐτῶν δώδεκα, οὓς καὶ ἀποστόλους ὠνόμασε,
И҆ є҆гда̀ бы́сть де́нь, призва̀ ᲂу҆чн҃кѝ своѧ̑: и҆ и҆збра̀ ѿ ни́хъ двана́десѧте, и҆̀хже и҆ а҆пⷭ҇лы наречѐ:
Simon, (whom he also named Peter,) and Andrew his brother, James and John, Philip and Bartholomew,
Σίμωνα, ὃν καὶ ὠνόμασε Πέτρον, καὶ Ἀνδρέαν τὸν ἀδελφὸν αὐτοῦ, Ἰάκωβον καὶ Ἰωάννην, Φίλιππον καὶ Βαρθολομαῖον,
сі́мѡна, є҆го́же и҆менова̀ петра̀, и҆ а҆ндре́а бра́та є҆гѡ̀, і҆а́кѡва и҆ і҆ѡа́нна, фїлі́ппа и҆ варѳоломе́а,
Matthew and Thomas, James the son of Alphaeus, and Simon called Zelotes,
Ματθαῖον καὶ Θωμᾶν, Ἰάκωβον τὸν τοῦ Ἀλφαίου καὶ Σίμωνα τὸν καλούμενον Ζηλωτήν,
матѳе́а и҆ ѳѡмꙋ̀, і҆а́кѡва а҆лфе́ева и҆ сі́мѡна нарица́емаго зилѡ́та,
And Judas the brother of James, and Judas Iscariot, which also was the traitor.
Ἰούδαν Ἰακώβου καὶ Ἰούδαν Ἰσκαριώτην, ὃς καὶ ἐγένετο προδότης,
і҆ꙋ́дꙋ і҆а́кѡвлѧ, и҆ і҆ꙋ́дꙋ і҆скарїѡ́тскаго, и҆́же и҆ бы́сть преда́тель.
And he came down with them, and stood in the plain, and the company of his disciples, and a great multitude of people out of all Judaea and Jerusalem, and from the sea coast of Tyre and Sidon, which came to hear him, and to be healed of their diseases;
καὶ καταβὰς μετ᾿ αὐτῶν ἔστη ἐπὶ τόπου πεδινοῦ, καὶ ὄχλος μαθητῶν αὐτοῦ, καὶ πλῆθος πολὺ τοῦ λαοῦ ἀπὸ πάσης τῆς Ἰουδαίας καὶ Ἱερουσαλὴμ καὶ τῆς παραλίου Τύρου καὶ Σιδῶνος, οἳ ἦλθον ἀκοῦσαι αὐτοῦ καὶ ἰαθῆναι ἀπὸ τῶν νόσων αὐτῶν,
[Заⷱ҇ 24] И҆зше́дъ съ ни́ми, ста̀ на мѣ́стѣ ра́внѣ: и҆ наро́дъ ᲂу҆чн҃къ є҆гѡ̀, и҆ мно́жество мно́го люді́й ѿ всеѧ̀ і҆ꙋде́и и҆ і҆ерⷭ҇ли́ма, и҆ помо́рїѧ тѵ́рска и҆ сїдѡ́нска,
And they that were vexed with unclean spirits: and they were healed.
καὶ οἱ ὀχλούμενοι ἀπὸ πνευμάτων ἀκαθάρτων, καὶ ἐθεραπεύοντο·
и҆̀же прїидо́ша послꙋ́шати є҆гѡ̀ и҆ и҆сцѣли́тисѧ ѿ недꙋ̑гъ свои́хъ, и҆ стра́ждꙋщїи ѿ дꙋ̑хъ нечи́стыхъ: и҆ и҆сцѣлѧ́хꙋсѧ.
And the whole multitude sought to touch him: for there went virtue out of him, and healed them all.
καὶ πᾶς ὁ ὄχλος ἐζήτει ἅπτεσθαι αὐτοῦ, ὅτι δύναμις παρ᾿ αὐτοῦ ἐξήρχετο καὶ ἰᾶτο πάντας.
И҆ ве́сь наро́дъ и҆ска́ше прикаса́тисѧ є҆мꙋ̀: ꙗ҆́кѡ си́ла ѿ негѡ̀ и҆схожда́ше и҆ и҆сцѣлѧ́ше всѧ̑.
