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 4.16-22
§ 13
Luke 4.16-22 § 13
And he came to Nazareth, where he had been brought up: and, as his custom was, he went into the synagogue on the sabbath day, and stood up for to read.
καὶ ἦλθεν εἰς τὴν Ναζαρέτ, οὗ ἦν τεθραμμένος, καὶ εἰσῆλθε κατὰ τὸ εἰωθὸς αὐτῷ ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ τῶν σαββάτων εἰς τὴν συναγωγήν, καὶ ἀνέστη ἀναγνῶναι.
[Заⷱ҇ 13] И҆ прїи́де въ назаре́тъ, и҆дѣ́же бѣ̀ воспита́нъ: и҆ вни́де, по ѡ҆бы́чаю своемꙋ̀, въ де́нь сꙋббѡ́тный въ со́нмище, и҆ воста̀ честѝ.
And there was delivered unto him the book of the prophet Esaias. And when he had opened the book, he found the place where it was written,
καὶ ἐπεδόθη αὐτῷ βιβλίον Ἡσαΐου τοῦ προφήτου, καὶ ἀναπτύξας τὸ βιβλίον εὗρε τὸν τόπον οὗ ἦν γεγραμμένον·
И҆ да́ша є҆мꙋ̀ кни́гꙋ и҆са́їи прⷪ҇ро́ка: и҆ разгнꙋ́въ кни́гꙋ, ѡ҆брѣ́те мѣ́сто, и҆дѣ́же бѣ̀ напи́сано:
The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted,
Πνεῦμα Κυρίου ἐπ᾿ ἐμέ, οὗ εἵνεκεν ἔχρισέ με, εὐαγγελίσασθαι πτωχοῖς ἀπέσταλκέ με, ἰάσασθαι τοὺς συντετριμμένους τὴν καρδίαν,
дх҃ъ гдⷭ҇ень на мнѣ̀: є҆гѡ́же ра́ди пома́за мѧ̀ бл҃говѣсти́ти ни́щымъ, посла́ мѧ и҆сцѣли́ти сокрꙋшє́нныѧ се́рдцемъ, проповѣ́дати плѣнє́ннымъ ѿпꙋще́нїе и҆ слѣпы̑мъ прозрѣ́нїе, ѿпꙋсти́ти сокрꙋшє́нныѧ во ѿра́дꙋ,
to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised, to preach the acceptable year of the Lord.
κηρῦξαι αἰχμαλώτοις ἄφεσιν καὶ τυφλοῖς ἀνάβλεψιν, ἀποστεῖλαι τεθραυσμένους ἐν ἀφέσει, κηρῦξαι ἐνιαυτὸν Κυρίου δεκτόν.
проповѣ́дати лѣ́то гдⷭ҇не прїѧ́тно.
And he closed the book, and he gave it again to the minister, and sat down. And the eyes of all them that were in the synagogue were fastened on him.
καὶ πτύξας τὸ βιβλίον ἀποδοὺς τῷ ὑπηρέτῃ ἐκάθισε· καὶ πάντων ἐν τῇ συναγωγῇ οἱ ὀφθαλμοὶ ἦσαν ἀτενίζοντες αὐτῷ.
И҆ согнꙋ́въ кни́гꙋ, ѿда́въ слꙋзѣ̀, сѣ́де: и҆ всѣ̑мъ въ со́нмищи ѻ҆́чи бѣ́хꙋ зрѧ́ще на́нь.
And he began to say unto them, This day is this scripture fulfilled in your ears.
ἤρξατο δὲ λέγειν πρὸς αὐτοὺς ὅτι σήμερον πεπλήρωται ἡ γραφὴ αὕτη ἐν τοῖς ὠσὶν ὑμῶν.
И҆ нача́тъ гл҃ати къ ни̑мъ, ꙗ҆́кѡ дне́сь сбы́стсѧ писа́нїе сїѐ во ᲂу҆́шїю ва́шєю.
And all bare him witness, and wondered at the gracious words which proceeded out of his mouth. And they said, Is not this Joseph's son?
καὶ πάντες ἐμαρτύρουν αὐτῷ καὶ ἐθαύμαζον ἐπὶ τοῖς λόγοις τῆς χάριτος τοῖς ἐκπορευομένοις ἐκ τοῦ στόματος αὐτοῦ καὶ ἔλεγον· οὐχ οὗτός ἐστιν ὁ υἱὸς Ἰωσήφ;
И҆ всѝ свидѣ́тельствовахꙋ є҆мꙋ̀, [Заⷱ҇ 14] и҆ дивлѧ́хꙋсѧ ѡ҆ словесѣ́хъ блгⷣти, и҆сходѧ́щихъ и҆з̾ ᲂу҆́стъ є҆гѡ̀, и҆ глаго́лахꙋ: не се́й ли є҆́сть сн҃ъ і҆ѡ́сифовъ;
