PT1904 Patriarchal Text 1904 (accented, eBible edition)
1 τη δε μια των σαββατων ορθρου βαθεοσ ηλθον επι το μνημα φερουσαι α ητοιμασαν αρωματα και τινεσ συν αυταισ
1 But on the first day of the week, at early dawn, they and some others came to the tomb, bringing the spices which they had prepared.
1 Τῇ δὲ μιᾷ τῶν σαββάτων ὄρθρου βαθέος ἦλθον ἐπὶ τὸ μνῆμα φέρουσαι ἃ ἡτοίμασαν ἀρώματα, καί τινες σὺν αὐταῖς.
2 ευρον δε τον λιθον αποκεκυλισμενον απο του μνημειου
2 They found the stone rolled away from the tomb.
2 εὗρον δὲ τὸν λίθον ἀποκεκυλισμένον ἀπὸ τοῦ μνημείου,
3 και εισελθουσαι ουχ ευρον το σωμα του κυριου ιησου
3 They entered in, and didn’t find the Lord Jesus’ body.
3 καὶ εἰσελθοῦσαι οὐχ εὗρον τὸ σῶμα τοῦ Κυρίου Ἰησοῦ.
4 και εγενετο εν τω διαπορεισθαι αυτασ περι τουτου και ιδου ανδρεσ δυο επεστησαν αυταισ εν εσθησεσιν αστραπτουσαισ
4 While they were greatly perplexed about this, behold, two men stood by them in dazzling clothing.
4 καὶ ἐγένετο ἐν τῷ διαπορεῖσθαι αὐτὰς περὶ τούτου καὶ ἰδοὺ ἄνδρες δύο ἐπέστησαν αὐταῖς ἐν ἐσθήσεσιν ἀστραπτούσαις.
5 εμφοβων δε γενομενων αυτων και κλινουσων το προσωπον εισ την γην ειπον προσ αυτασ τι ζητειτε τον ζωντα μετα των νεκρων
5 Becoming terrified, they bowed their faces down to the earth. The men said to them, “Why do you seek the living among the dead?
5 ἐμφόβων δὲ γενομένων αὐτῶν καὶ κλινουσῶν τὸ πρόσωπον εἰς τὴν γῆν εἶπον πρὸς αὐτάς· τί ζητεῖτε τὸν ζῶντα μετὰ τῶν νεκρῶν;
6 ουκ εστιν ωδε αλλ ηγερθη μνησθητε ωσ ελαλησεν υμιν ετι ων εν τη γαλιλαια
6 He isn’t here, but is risen. Remember what he told you when he was still in Galilee,
6 οὐκ ἔστιν ὧδε, ἀλλ᾽ ἠγέρθη· μνήσθητε ὡς ἐλάλησεν ὑμῖν ἔτι ὢν ἐν τῇ Γαλιλαίᾳ,
7 λεγων οτι δει τον υιον του ανθρωπου παραδοθηναι εισ χειρασ ανθρωπων αμαρτωλων και σταυρωθηναι και τη τριτη ημερα αναστηναι
7 saying that the Son of Man must be delivered up into the hands of sinful men and be crucified, and the third day rise again?”
7 λέγων ὅτι δεῖ τὸν υἱὸν τοῦ ἀνθρώπου παραδοθῆναι εἰς χεῖρας ἀνθρώπων ἁμαρτωλῶν καὶ σταυρωθῆναι, καὶ τῇ τρίτῃ ἡμέρᾳ ἀναστῆναι.
9 και υποστρεψασαι απο του μνημειου απηγγειλαν ταυτα παντα τοισ ενδεκα και πασιν τοισ λοιποισ
9 returned from the tomb, and told all these things to the eleven and to all the rest.
9 καὶ ὑποστρέψασαι ἀπὸ τοῦ μνημείου ἀπήγγειλαν ταῦτα πάντα τοῖς ἕνδεκα καὶ πᾶσι τοῖς λοιποῖς.
10 ησαν δε η μαγδαληνη μαρια και ιωαννα και μαρια ιακωβου και αι λοιπαι συν αυταισ αι ελεγον προσ τουσ αποστολουσ ταυτα
10 Now they were Mary Magdalene, Joanna, and Mary the mother of James. The other women with them told these things to the apostles.
10 ἦσαν δὲ ἡ Μαγδαληνὴ Μαρία καὶ Ἰωάννα καὶ Μαρία Ἰακώβου καὶ αἱ λοιπαὶ σὺν αὐταῖς, αἳ ἔλεγον πρὸς τοὺς ἀποστόλους ταῦτα.
11 και εφανησαν ενωπιον αυτων ωσει ληροσ τα ρηματα αυτων και ηπιστουν αυταισ
11 These words seemed to them to be nonsense, and they didn’t believe them.
11 καὶ ἐφάνησαν ἐνώπιον αὐτῶν ὡσεὶ λῆρος τὰ ῥήματα αὐτῶν, καὶ ἠπίστουν αὐταῖς.
12 ο δε πετροσ αναστασ εδραμεν επι το μνημειον και παρακυψασ βλεπει τα οθονια κειμενα μονα και απηλθεν προσ εαυτον θαυμαζων το γεγονοσ
12 But Peter got up and ran to the tomb. Stooping and looking in, he saw the strips of linen lying by themselves, and he departed to his home, wondering what had happened.
12 ὁ δὲ Πέτρος ἀναστὰς ἔδραμεν ἐπὶ τὸ μνημεῖον, καὶ παρακύψας βλέπει τὰ ὀθόνια κείμενα μόνα, καὶ ἀπῆλθε πρὸς ἑαυτόν, θαυμάζων τὸ γεγονός.
13 και ιδου δυο εξ αυτων ησαν πορευομενοι εν αυτη τη ημερα εισ κωμην απεχουσαν σταδιουσ εξηκοντα απο ιερουσαλημ η ονομα εμμαουσ
13 Behold, two of them were going that very day to a village named Emmaus, which was sixty stadia from Jerusalem.
13 Καὶ ἰδοὺ δύο ἐξ αὐτῶν ἦσαν πορευόμενοι ἐν αὐτῇ τῇ ἡμέρᾳ εἰς κώμην ἀπέχουσαν σταδίους ἑξήκοντα ἀπὸ Ἱερουσαλήμ, ᾗ ὄνομα Ἐμμαούς.
14 και αυτοι ωμιλουν προσ αλληλουσ περι παντων των συμβεβηκοτων τουτων
14 They talked with each other about all of these things which had happened.
14 καὶ αὐτοὶ ὡμίλουν πρὸς ἀλλήλους περὶ πάντων τῶν συμβεβηκότων τούτων.
15 και εγενετο εν τω ομιλειν αυτουσ και συζητειν και αυτοσ ο ιησουσ εγγισασ συνεπορευετο αυτοισ
15 While they talked and questioned together, Jesus himself came near, and went with them.
15 καὶ ἐγένετο ἐν τῷ ὁμιλεῖν αὐτοὺς καὶ συζητεῖν καὶ αὐτὸς ὁ Ἰησοῦς ἐγγίσας συνεπορεύετο αὐτοῖς·
16 οι δε οφθαλμοι αυτων εκρατουντο του μη επιγνωναι αυτον
16 But their eyes were kept from recognizing him.
16 οἱ δὲ ὀφθαλμοὶ αὐτῶν ἐκρατοῦντο τοῦ μὴ ἐπιγνῶναι αὐτόν.
17 ειπεν δε προσ αυτουσ τινεσ οι λογοι ουτοι ουσ αντιβαλλετε προσ αλληλουσ περιπατουντεσ και εστε σκυθρωποι
17 He said to them, “What are you talking about as you walk, and are sad?”
17 εἶπε δὲ πρὸς αὐτούς· τίνες οἱ λόγοι οὗτοι οὓς ἀντιβάλλετε πρὸς ἀλλήλους περιπατοῦντες καί ἐστε σκυθρωποί;
18 αποκριθεισ δε ο εισ ω ονομα κλεοπασ ειπεν προσ αυτον συ μονοσ παροικεισ ιερουσαλημ και ουκ εγνωσ τα γενομενα εν αυτη εν ταισ ημεραισ ταυταισ
18 One of them, named Cleopas, answered him, “Are you the only stranger in Jerusalem who doesn’t know the things which have happened there in these days?”
18 ἀποκριθεὶς δὲ ὁ εἷς, ᾧ ὄνομα Κλεόπας, εἶπε πρὸς αὐτόν· σὺ μόνος παροικεῖς ἐν Ἱερουσαλὴμ καὶ οὐκ ἔγνως τὰ γενόμενα ἐν αὐτῇ ἐν ταῖς ἡμέραις ταύταις;
19 και ειπεν αυτοισ ποια οι δε ειπον αυτω τα περι ιησου του ναζωραιου οσ εγενετο ανηρ προφητησ δυνατοσ εν εργω και λογω εναντιον του θεου και παντοσ του λαου
19 He said to them, “What things?” They said to him, “The things concerning Jesus the Nazarene, who was a prophet mighty in deed and word before God and all the people;
19 καὶ εἶπεν αὐτοῖς· ποῖα; οἱ δὲ εἶπον αὐτῷ· τὰ περὶ Ἰησοῦ τοῦ Ναζωραίου, ὃς ἐγένετο ἀνὴρ προφήτης δυνατὸς ἐν ἔργῳ καὶ λόγῳ ἐναντίον τοῦ Θεοῦ καὶ παντὸς τοῦ λαοῦ,
20 οπωσ τε παρεδωκαν αυτον οι αρχιερεισ και οι αρχοντεσ ημων εισ κριμα θανατου και εσταυρωσαν αυτον
20 and how the chief priests and our rulers delivered him up to be condemned to death, and crucified him.
20 ὅπως τε παρέδωκαν αὐτὸν οἱ ἀρχιερεῖς καὶ οἱ ἄρχοντες ἡμῶν εἰς κρῖμα θανάτου καὶ ἐσταύρωσαν αὐτόν.
21 ημεισ δε ηλπιζομεν οτι αυτοσ εστιν ο μελλων λυτρουσθαι τον ισραηλ αλλα γε συν πασιν τουτοισ τριτην ταυτην ημεραν αγει σημερον αφ ου ταυτα εγενετο
21 But we were hoping that it was he who would redeem Israel. Yes, and besides all this, it is now the third day since these things happened.
21 ἡμεῖς δὲ ἠλπίζομεν ὅτι αὐτός ἐστιν ὁ μέλλων λυτροῦσθαι τὸν Ἰσραήλ· ἀλλά γε σὺν πᾶσι τούτοις τρίτην ταύτην ἡμέραν ἄγει σήμερον ἀφ᾽ οὗ ταῦτα ἐγένετο.
22 αλλα και γυναικεσ τινεσ εξ ημων εξεστησαν ημασ γενομεναι ορθριαι επι το μνημειον
22 Also, certain women of our company amazed us, having arrived early at the tomb;
22 ἀλλὰ καὶ γυναῖκές τινες ἐξ ἡμῶν ἐξέστησαν ἡμᾶς γενόμεναι ὄρθριαι ἐπὶ τὸ μνημεῖον,
23 και μη ευρουσαι το σωμα αυτου ηλθον λεγουσαι και οπτασιαν αγγελων εωρακεναι οι λεγουσιν αυτον ζην
23 and when they didn’t find his body, they came saying that they had also seen a vision of angels, who said that he was alive.
23 καὶ μὴ εὑροῦσαι τὸ σῶμα αὐτοῦ ἦλθον λέγουσαι καὶ ὀπτασίαν ἀγγέλων ἑωρακέναι, οἳ λέγουσιν αὐτὸν ζῆν.
24 και απηλθον τινεσ των συν ημιν επι το μνημειον και ευρον ουτωσ καθωσ και αι γυναικεσ ειπον αυτον δε ουκ ειδον
24 Some of us went to the tomb and found it just like the women had said, but they didn’t see him.”
24 καὶ ἀπῆλθόν τινες τῶν σὺν ἡμῖν ἐπὶ τὸ μνημεῖον, καὶ εὗρον οὕτω καθὼς καὶ αἱ γυναῖκες εἶπον, αὐτὸν δὲ οὐκ εἶδον.
25 και αυτοσ ειπεν προσ αυτουσ ω ανοητοι και βραδεισ τη καρδια του πιστευειν επι πασιν οισ ελαλησαν οι προφηται
25 He said to them, “Foolish people, and slow of heart to believe in all that the prophets have spoken!
25 καὶ αὐτὸς εἶπε πρὸς αὐτούς· ὦ ἀνόητοι καὶ βραδεῖς τῇ καρδίᾳ τοῦ πιστεύειν ἐπὶ πᾶσιν οἷς ἐλάλησαν οἱ προφῆται!
26 ουχι ταυτα εδει παθειν τον χριστον και εισελθειν εισ την δοξαν αυτου
26 Didn’t the Christ have to suffer these things and to enter into his glory?”
26 οὐχὶ ταῦτα ἔδει παθεῖν τὸν Χριστὸν καὶ εἰσελθεῖν εἰς τὴν δόξαν αὐτοῦ;
27 και αρξαμενοσ απο μωσεωσ και απο παντων των προφητων διηρμηνευεν αυτοισ εν πασαισ ταισ γραφαισ τα περι εαυτου
27 Beginning from Moses and from all the prophets, he explained to them in all the Scriptures the things concerning himself.
27 καὶ ἀρξάμενος ἀπὸ Μωϋσέως καὶ ἀπὸ πάντων τῶν προφητῶν διηρμήνευεν αὐτοῖς ἐν πάσαις ταῖς γραφαῖς τὰ περὶ ἑαυτοῦ.
28 και ηγγισαν εισ την κωμην ου επορευοντο και αυτοσ προσεποιειτο πορρωτερω πορευεσθαι
28 They came near to the village where they were going, and he acted like he would go further.
28 Καὶ ἤγγισαν εἰς τὴν κώμην οὗ ἐπορεύοντο, καὶ αὐτὸς προσεποιεῖτο πορρωτέρω πορεύεσθαι·
29 και παρεβιασαντο αυτον λεγοντεσ μεινον μεθ ημων οτι προσ εσπεραν εστιν και κεκλικεν η ημερα και εισηλθεν του μειναι συν αυτοισ
29 They urged him, saying, “Stay with us, for it is almost evening, and the day is almost over.” He went in to stay with them.
29 καὶ παρεβιάσαντο αὐτὸν λέγοντες· μεῖνον μεθ᾽ ἡμῶν, ὅτι πρὸς ἑσπέραν ἐστὶ καὶ κέκλικεν ἡ ἡμέρα. καὶ εἰσῆλθε τοῦ μεῖναι σὺν αὐτοῖς.
30 και εγενετο εν τω κατακλιθηναι αυτον μετ αυτων λαβων τον αρτον ευλογησεν και κλασασ επεδιδου αυτοισ
30 When he had sat down at the table with them, he took the bread and gave thanks. Breaking it, he gave it to them.
30 καὶ ἐγένετο ἐν τῷ κατακλιθῆναι αὐτὸν μετ᾽ αὐτῶν λαβὼν τὸν ἄρτον εὐλόγησε, καὶ κλάσας ἐπεδίδου αὐτοῖς.
31 αυτων δε διηνοιχθησαν οι οφθαλμοι και επεγνωσαν αυτον και αυτοσ αφαντοσ εγενετο απ αυτων
31 Their eyes were opened and they recognized him; then he vanished out of their sight.
31 αὐτῶν δὲ διηνοίχθησαν οἱ ὀφθαλμοί, καὶ ἐπέγνωσαν αὐτόν· καὶ αὐτὸς ἄφαντος ἐγένετο ἀπ᾽ αὐτῶν.
32 και ειπον προσ αλληλουσ ουχι η καρδια ημων καιομενη ην εν ημιν ωσ ελαλει ημιν εν τη οδω και ωσ διηνοιγεν ημιν τασ γραφασ
32 They said to one another, “Weren’t our hearts burning within us while he spoke to us along the way, and while he opened the Scriptures to us?”
32 καὶ εἶπον πρὸς ἀλλήλους· οὐχὶ ἡ καρδία ἡμῶν καιομένη ἦν ἐν ἡμῖν, ὡς ἐλάλει ἡμῖν ἐν τῇ ὁδῷ καὶ ὡς διήνοιγεν ἡμῖν τὰς γραφάς;
33 και ανασταντεσ αυτη τη ωρα υπεστρεψαν εισ ιερουσαλημ και ευρον συνηθροισμενουσ τουσ ενδεκα και τουσ συν αυτοισ
33 They rose up that very hour, returned to Jerusalem, and found the eleven gathered together, and those who were with them,
33 Καὶ ἀναστάντες αὐτῇ τῇ ὥρᾳ ὑπέστρεψαν εἰς Ἱερουσαλήμ, καὶ εὗρον συνηθροισμένους τοὺς ἕνδεκα καὶ τοὺς σὺν αὐτοῖς,
34 λεγοντασ οτι ηγερθη ο κυριοσ οντωσ και ωφθη σιμωνι
34 saying, “The Lord is risen indeed, and has appeared to Simon!”
34 λέγοντας ὅτι ἠγέρθη ὁ Κύριος ὄντως καὶ ὤφθη Σίμωνι.
35 και αυτοι εξηγουντο τα εν τη οδω και ωσ εγνωσθη αυτοισ εν τη κλασει του αρτου
35 They related the things that happened along the way, and how he was recognized by them in the breaking of the bread.
35 καὶ αὐτοὶ ἐξηγοῦντο τὰ ἐν τῇ ὁδῷ καὶ ὡς ἐγνώσθη αὐτοῖς ἐν τῇ κλάσει τοῦ ἄρτου.
36 ταυτα δε αυτων λαλουντων αυτοσ ο ιησουσ εστη εν μεσω αυτων και λεγει αυτοισ ειρηνη υμιν
36 As they said these things, Jesus himself stood among them, and said to them, “Peace be to you.”
36 Ταῦτα δὲ αὐτῶν λαλούντων αὐτὸς ὁ Ἰησοῦς ἔστη ἐν μέσῳ αὐτῶν καὶ λέγει αὐτοῖς· εἰρήνη ὑμῖν.
37 πτοηθεντεσ δε και εμφοβοι γενομενοι εδοκουν πνευμα θεωρειν
37 But they were terrified and filled with fear, and supposed that they had seen a spirit.
37 πτοηθέντες δὲ καὶ ἔμφοβοι γενόμενοι ἐδόκουν πνεῦμα θεωρεῖν.
38 και ειπεν αυτοισ τι τεταραγμενοι εστε και δια τι διαλογισμοι αναβαινουσιν εν ταισ καρδιαισ υμων
38 He said to them, “Why are you troubled? Why do doubts arise in your hearts?
38 καὶ εἶπεν αὐτοῖς· τί τεταραγμένοι ἐστέ, καὶ διατί διαλογισμοὶ ἀναβαίνουσιν ἐν ταῖς καρδίαις ὑμῶν;
39 ιδετε τασ χειρασ μου και τουσ ποδασ μου οτι αυτοσ εγω ειμι ψηλαφησατε με και ιδετε οτι πνευμα σαρκα και οστεα ουκ εχει καθωσ εμε θεωρειτε εχοντα
39 See my hands and my feet, that it is truly me. Touch me and see, for a spirit doesn’t have flesh and bones, as you see that I have.”
39 ἴδετε τὰς χεῖράς μου καὶ τοὺς πόδας μου, ὅτι αὐτὸς ἐγώ εἰμι· ψηλαφήσατέ με καὶ ἴδετε, ὅτι πνεῦμα σάρκα καὶ ὀστέα οὐκ ἔχει καθὼς ἐμὲ θεωρεῖτε ἔχοντα.
40 και τουτο ειπων επεδειξεν αυτοισ τασ χειρασ και τουσ ποδασ
40 When he had said this, he showed them his hands and his feet.
40 καὶ τοῦτο εἰπὼν ἐπέδειξεν αὐτοῖς τὰς χεῖρας καὶ τοὺς πόδας.
41 ετι δε απιστουντων αυτων απο τησ χαρασ και θαυμαζοντων ειπεν αυτοισ εχετε τι βρωσιμον ενθαδε
41 While they still didn’t believe for joy, and wondered, he said to them, “Do you have anything here to eat?”
41 ἔτι δὲ ἀπιστούντων αὐτῶν ἀπὸ τῆς χαρᾶς καὶ θαυμαζόντων εἶπεν αὐτοῖς· ἔχετέ τι βρώσιμον ἐνθάδε;
42 οι δε επεδωκαν αυτω ιχθυοσ οπτου μεροσ και απο μελισσιου κηριου
42 They gave him a piece of a broiled fish and some honeycomb.
42 οἱ δὲ ἐπέδωκαν αὐτῷ ἰχθύος ὀπτοῦ μέρος καὶ ἀπὸ μελισσίου κηρίου,
43 και λαβων ενωπιον αυτων εφαγεν
43 He took them, and ate in front of them.
43 καὶ λαβὼν ἐνώπιον αὐτῶν ἔφαγεν.
44 ειπεν δε αυτοισ ουτοι οι λογοι ουσ ελαλησα προσ υμασ ετι ων συν υμιν οτι δει πληρωθηναι παντα τα γεγραμμενα εν τω νομω μωσεωσ και προφηταισ και ψαλμοισ περι εμου
44 He said to them, “This is what I told you while I was still with you, that all things which are written in the law of Moses, the prophets, and the psalms concerning me must be fulfilled.”
44 εἶπε δὲ αὐτοῖς· οὗτοι οἱ λόγοι οὓς ἐλάλησα πρὸς ὑμᾶς ἔτι ὢν σὺν ὑμῖν, ὅτι δεῖ πληρωθῆναι πάντα τὰ γεγραμμένα ἐν τῷ νόμῳ Μωϋσέως καὶ προφήταις καὶ ψαλμοῖς περὶ ἐμοῦ.
45 τοτε διηνοιξεν αυτων τον νουν του συνιεναι τασ γραφασ
45 Then he opened their minds, that they might understand the Scriptures.
45 τότε διήνοιξεν αὐτῶν τὸν νοῦν τοῦ συνιέναι τὰς γραφάς,
46 και ειπεν αυτοισ οτι ουτωσ γεγραπται και ουτωσ εδει παθειν τον χριστον και αναστηναι εκ νεκρων τη τριτη ημερα
46 He said to them, “Thus it is written, and thus it was necessary for the Christ to suffer and to rise from the dead the third day,
46 καὶ εἶπεν αὐτοῖς ὅτι οὕτω γέγραπται καὶ οὕτως ἔδει παθεῖν τὸν Χριστὸν καὶ ἀναστῆναι ἐκ νεκρῶν τῇ τρίτῃ ἡμέρᾳ,
47 και κηρυχθηναι επι τω ονοματι αυτου μετανοιαν και αφεσιν αμαρτιων εισ παντα τα εθνη αρξαμενον απο ιερουσαλημ
47 and that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in his name to all the nations, beginning at Jerusalem.
47 καὶ κηρυχθῆναι ἐπὶ τῷ ὀνόματι αὐτοῦ μετάνοιαν καὶ ἄφεσιν ἁμαρτιῶν εἰς πάντα τὰ ἔθνη, ἀρξάμενον ἀπὸ Ἱερουσαλήμ.
48 υμεισ δε εστε μαρτυρεσ τουτων
48 You are witnesses of these things.
48 ὑμεῖς δέ ἐστε μάρτυρες τούτων.
49 και ιδου εγω αποστελλω την επαγγελιαν του πατροσ μου εφ υμασ υμεισ δε καθισατε εν τη πολει ιερουσαλημ εωσ ου ενδυσησθε δυναμιν εξ υψουσ
49 Behold, I send out the promise of my Father on you. But wait in the city of Jerusalem until you are clothed with power from on high.”
49 καὶ ἰδοὺ ἐγὼ ἀποστέλλω τὴν ἐπαγγελίαν τοῦ πατρός μου ἐφ᾽ ὑμᾶς· ὑμεῖς δὲ καθίσατε ἐν τῇ πόλει Ἱερουσαλὴμ ἕως οὗ ἐνδύσησθε δύναμιν ἐξ ὕψους.
50 εξηγαγεν δε αυτουσ εξω εωσ εισ βηθανιαν και επαρασ τασ χειρασ αυτου ευλογησεν αυτουσ
50 He led them out as far as Bethany, and he lifted up his hands and blessed them.
50 Ἐξήγαγε δὲ αὐτοὺς ἔξω ἕως εἰς Βηθανίαν, καὶ ἐπάρας τὰς χεῖρας αὐτοῦ εὐλόγησεν αὐτούς.
51 και εγενετο εν τω ευλογειν αυτον αυτουσ διεστη απ αυτων και ανεφερετο εισ τον ουρανον
51 While he blessed them, he withdrew from them and was carried up into heaven.
51 καὶ ἐγένετο ἐν τῷ εὐλογεῖν αὐτὸν αὐτοὺς διέστη ἀπ᾽ αὐτῶν καὶ ἀνεφέρετο εἰς τὸν οὐρανόν.
52 και αυτοι προσκυνησαντεσ αυτον υπεστρεψαν εισ ιερουσαλημ μετα χαρασ μεγαλησ
52 They worshiped him and returned to Jerusalem with great joy,
52 καὶ αὐτοὶ προσκυνήσαντες αὐτὸν ὑπέστρεψαν εἰς Ἱερουσαλὴμ μετὰ χαρᾶς μεγάλης,
53 και ησαν δια παντοσ εν τω ιερω αινουντεσ και ευλογουντεσ τον θεον αμην
53 and were continually in the temple, praising and blessing God. Amen.
53 καὶ ἦσαν διὰ παντὸς ἐν τῷ ἱερῷ αἰνοῦντες καὶ εὐλογοῦντες τὸν Θεόν. ἀμήν.

let the heretics be silenced who speak against His humanity, for they speak against Him, who saith, Handle me, and see; for a spirit hath not flesh and bones, as ye see me have.

His running to the fig-tree, His shrinking, that is, His drawing back, His praying, and His making as though He would have gone further For neither as God nor as man was He in need of these or similar things, but only because His form was that of a man as necessity and expediency demanded.
