כִּי כֹה אָמַר יְהוָה צְבָאוֹת אַחַר כָּבוֹד שְׁלָחַנִי אֶל-הַגּוֹיִם הַשֹּׁלְלִים אֶתְכֶם כִּי הַנֹּגֵעַ בָּכֶם נֹגֵעַ בְּבָבַת עֵינֽוֹ׃
For thus saith the LORD of hosts; After the glory hath he sent me unto the nations which spoiled you: for he that toucheth you toucheth the apple of his eye.
Καθάπερ γὰρ τὸ σῶμα ἕν ἐστιν καὶ μέλη ἔχει πολλὰ πάντα δὲ τὰ μέλη τοῦ σώματος τοῦ ἑνός πολλὰ ὄντα ἕν ἐστιν σῶμα οὕτως καὶ ὁ Χριστός·
For as the body is one, and hath many members, and all the members of that one body, being many, are one body: so also is Christ.
וַיִּקְרָא אֵלָיו מַלְאַךְ יְהוָה מִן-הַשָּׁמַיִם וַיֹּאמֶר אַבְרָהָם׀ אַבְרָהָם וַיֹּאמֶר הִנֵּֽנִי׃
And the angel of the LORD called unto him out of heaven, and said, Abraham, Abraham: and he said, Here am I.
בְּֽכָל-צָרָתָם׀ (לא) לוֹ צָר וּמַלְאַךְ פָּנָיו הֽוֹשִׁיעָם בְּאַהֲבָתוֹ וּבְחֶמְלָתוֹ הוּא גְאָלָם וַֽיְנַטְּלֵם וַֽיְנַשְּׂאֵם כָּל-יְמֵי עוֹלָֽם׃
In all their affliction he was afflicted, and the angel of his presence saved them: in his love and in his pity he redeemed them; and he bare them, and carried them all the days of old.
ἴδε οὖν χρηστότητα καὶ ἀποτομίαν θεοῦ· ἐπὶ μὲν τοὺς πεσόντας ἀποτομίαν ἐπὶ δὲ σὲ χρηστότητα ἐὰν ἐπιμείνῃς τῇ χρηστότητι ἐπεὶ καὶ σὺ ἐκκοπήσῃ
Behold therefore the goodness and severity of God: on them which fell, severity; but toward thee, goodness, if thou continue in his goodness: otherwise thou also shalt be cut off.
וַיֹּאמַר הָגָר שִׁפְחַת שָׂרַי אֵֽי-מִזֶּה בָאת וְאָנָה תֵלֵכִי וַתֹּאמֶר מִפְּנֵי שָׂרַי גְּבִרְתִּי אָֽנֹכִי בֹּרַֽחַת׃
And he said, Hagar, Sarai's maid, whence camest thou? and whither wilt thou go? And she said, I flee from the face of my mistress Sarai.
πάντων δέ καταπεσόντων ἡμῶν εἰς τὴν γῆν ἤκουσα φωνὴν λαλοῦσαν πρός με καὶ λέγουσαν τῇ Ἑβραΐδι διαλέκτῳ Σαοὺλ Σαούλ τί με διώκεις σκληρόν σοι πρὸς κέντρα λακτίζειν
And when we were all fallen to the earth, I heard a voice speaking unto me, and saying in the Hebrew tongue, Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me? it is hard for thee to kick against the pricks.
Ὅτε οὖν ἠρίστησαν λέγει τῷ Σίμωνι Πέτρῳ ὁ Ἰησοῦς Σίμων Ἰωνᾶ ἀγαπᾷς με πλεῖόν τούτων λέγει αὐτῷ Ναί κύριε σὺ οἶδας ὅτι φιλῶ σε λέγει αὐτῷ Βόσκε τὰ ἀρνία μου
So when they had dined, Jesus saith to Simon Peter, Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou me more than these? He saith unto him, Yea, Lord; thou knowest that I love thee. He saith unto him, Feed my lambs.
וַיִּקְרָא יְהוָה אֱלֹהִים אֶל-הָֽאָדָם וַיֹּאמֶר לוֹ אַיֶּֽכָּה׃
And the LORD God called unto Adam, and said unto him, Where art thou?
ἔπεσον τε εἰς τὸ ἔδαφος καὶ ἤκουσα φωνῆς λεγούσης μοι Σαοὺλ Σαούλ τί με διώκεις
And I fell unto the ground, and heard a voice saying unto me, Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me?
ἀποκριθεὶς δὲ εἶπεν αὐτῇ ὁ Ἰησοῦς Μάρθα Μάρθα μεριμνᾷς καὶ τυρβάζῃ περὶ πολλά
And Jesus answered and said unto her, Martha, Martha, thou art careful and troubled about many things:
ὅτι μέλη ἐσμὲν τοῦ σώματος αὐτοῦ ἐκ τῆς σαρκός αὐτοῦ καί ἐκ τῶν ὀστέων αὐτοῦ
For we are members of his body, of his flesh, and of his bones.
καὶ ἀποκριθεὶς ὁ βασιλεὺς ἐρεῖ αὐτοῖς Ἀμὴν λέγω ὑμῖν ἐφ' ὅσον ἐποιήσατε ἑνὶ τούτων τῶν ἀδελφῶν μου τῶν ἐλαχίστων ἐμοὶ ἐποιήσατε
And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me.
וַיַּרְא יְהוָה כִּי סָר לִרְאוֹת וַיִּקְרָא אֵלָיו אֱלֹהִים מִתּוֹךְ הַסְּנֶה וַיֹּאמֶר מֹשֶׁה מֹשֶׁה וַיֹּאמֶר הִנֵּֽנִי׃
And when the LORD saw that he turned aside to see, God called unto him out of the midst of the bush, and said, Moses, Moses. And he said, Here am I.
λέγει αὐτῇ ὃ Ἰησοῦς Μαρία στραφεῖσα ἐκείνη λέγει αὐτῷ Ῥαββουνί ὃ λέγεται Διδάσκαλε
Jesus saith unto her, Mary. She turned herself, and saith unto him, Rabboni; which is to say, Master.
ὡς οὖν εἶπεν αὐτοῖς ὅτι Ἐγώ εἰμι ἀπῆλθον εἰς τὰ ὀπίσω καὶ ἔπεσον χαμαί
As soon then as he had said unto them, I am he, they went backward, and fell to the ground.
τίς γάρ σε διακρίνει τί δὲ ἔχεις ὃ οὐκ ἔλαβες εἰ δὲ καὶ ἔλαβες τί καυχᾶσαι ὡς μὴ λαβών
For who maketh thee to differ from another? and what hast thou that thou didst not receive? now if thou didst receive it, why dost thou glory, as if thou hadst not received it?
הֵרֹמּוּ מִתּוֹךְ הָֽעֵדָה הַזֹּאת וַֽאֲכַלֶּה אֹתָם כְּרָגַע וַֽיִּפְּלוּ עַל-פְּנֵיהֶֽם׃
Get you up from among this congregation, that I may consume them as in a moment. And they fell upon their faces.
τότε ἀποκριθήσεται αὐτοῖς λέγων Ἀμὴν λέγω ὑμῖν ἐφ' ὅσον οὐκ ἐποιήσατε ἑνὶ τούτων τῶν ἐλαχίστων οὐδὲ ἐμοὶ ἐποιήσατε
Then shall he answer them, saying, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye did it not to one of the least of these, ye did it not to me.
ἔπεσεν δὲ παραχρῆμα παρὰ τοὺς πόδας αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐξέψυξεν· εἰσελθόντες δὲ οἱ νεανίσκοι εὗρον αὐτὴν νεκράν καὶ ἐξενέγκαντες ἔθαψαν πρὸς τὸν ἄνδρα αὐτῆς
Then fell she down straightway at his feet, and yielded up the ghost: and the young men came in, and found her dead, and, carrying forth, her buried her by her husband.
