εἶπεν οὖν ὁ Ἰησοῦς πρὸς αὐτούς Ἐπερωτήσω ὑμᾶς τί ἔξεστιν τοῖς σάββασιν ἀγαθοποιῆσαι ἢ κακοποιῆσαι ψυχὴν σῶσαι ἢ ἀπολέσαι
Then said Jesus unto them, I will ask you one thing; Is it lawful on the sabbath days to do good, or to do evil? to save life, or to destroy it?
ὁ λόγος ὑμῶν πάντοτε ἐν χάριτι ἅλατι ἠρτυμένος εἰδέναι πῶς δεῖ ὑμᾶς ἑνὶ ἑκάστῳ ἀποκρίνεσθαι
Let your speech be alway with grace, seasoned with salt, that ye may know how ye ought to answer every man.
Ἰδού ἐγὼ ἀποστέλλω ὑμᾶς ὡς πρόβατα ἐν μέσῳ λύκων· γίνεσθε οὖν φρόνιμοι ὡς οἱ ὄφεις καὶ ἀκέραιοι ὡς αἱ περιστεραί
Behold, I send you forth as sheep in the midst of wolves: be ye therefore wise as serpents, and harmless as doves.
אַל-תַּעַן כְּסִיל כְּאִוַּלְתּוֹ פֶּֽן-תִּשְׁוֶה-לּוֹ גַם-אָֽתָּה׃
Answer not a fool according to his folly, lest thou also be like unto him.
