PT1904 Patriarchal Text 1904 (accented, eBible edition)
1 Και εισελθών διήρχετο την Ιεριχώ·
1 He entered and was passing through Jericho.
1 Καὶ εἰσελθὼν διήρχετο τὴν Ἱεριχώ·
2 και ιδού, άνθρωπος ονομαζόμενος Ζακχαίος, όστις ήτο αρχιτελώνης, και ούτος ήτο πλούσιος,
2 There was a man named Zacchaeus. He was a chief tax collector, and he was rich.
2 καὶ ἰδοὺ ἀνὴρ ὀνόματι καλούμενος Ζακχαῖος, καὶ αὐτὸς ἦν ἀρχιτελώνης, καὶ οὗτος ἦν πλούσιος,
3 και εζήτει να ίδη τον Ιησούν τις είναι, και δεν ηδύνατο διά τον όχλον, διότι ήτο μικρός το ανάστημα.
3 He was trying to see who Jesus was, and couldn’t because of the crowd, because he was short.
3 καὶ ἐζήτει ἰδεῖν τὸν Ἰησοῦν τίς ἐστι, καὶ οὐκ ἠδύνατο ἀπὸ τοῦ ὄχλου, ὅτι τῇ ἡλικίᾳ μικρὸς ἦν.
4 και δραμών εμπρός ανέβη επί συκομορέαν διά να ίδη αυτόν· επειδή δι' εκείνης της οδού έμελλε να περάση.
4 He ran on ahead and climbed up into a sycamore tree to see him, for he was going to pass that way.
4 καὶ προδραμὼν ἔμπροσθεν ἀνέβη ἐπὶ συκομορέαν, ἵνα ἴδῃ αὐτόν, ὅτι ἐκείνης ἤμελλε διέρχεσθαι.
5 Και ως ήλθεν εις τον τόπον ο Ιησούς, αναβλέψας είδεν αυτόν και είπε προς αυτόν· Ζακχαίε, κατάβα ταχέως· διότι σήμερον πρέπει να μείνω εν τω οίκω σου.
5 When Jesus came to the place, he looked up and saw him, and said to him, “Zacchaeus, hurry and come down, for today I must stay at your house.”
5 καὶ ὡς ἦλθεν ἐπὶ τὸν τόπον, ἀναβλέψας ὁ Ἰησοῦς εἶδεν αὐτὸν καὶ εἶπε πρὸς αὐτόν· Ζακχαῖε, σπεύσας κατάβηθι· σήμερον γὰρ ἐν τῷ οἴκῳ σου δεῖ με μεῖναι.
6 Και κατέβη ταχέως και υπεδέχθη αυτόν μετά χαράς.
6 He hurried, came down, and received him joyfully.
6 καὶ σπεύσας κατέβη, καὶ ὑπεδέξατο αὐτὸν χαίρων.
7 Και ιδόντες άπαντες εγόγγυζον, λέγοντες ότι εις αμαρτωλόν άνθρωπον εισήλθε να καταλύση.
7 When they saw it, they all murmured, saying, “He has gone in to lodge with a man who is a sinner.”
7 καὶ ἰδόντες πάντες διεγόγγυζον λέγοντες ὅτι παρὰ ἁμαρτωλῷ ἀνδρὶ εἰσῆλθε καταλῦσαι.
8 Σταθείς δε ο Ζακχαίος, είπε προς τον Κύριον· Ιδού, τα ημίση των υπαρχόντων μου, Κύριε, δίδω εις τους πτωχούς, και εάν εσυκοφάντησά τινά εις τι, αποδίδω τετραπλούν.
8 Zacchaeus stood and said to the Lord, “Behold, Lord, half of my goods I give to the poor. If I have wrongfully exacted anything of anyone, I restore four times as much.”
8 σταθεὶς δὲ Ζακχαῖος εἶπε πρὸς τὸν Κύριον· ἰδοὺ τὰ ἡμίση τῶν ὑπαρχόντων μου, Κύριε, δίδωμι τοῖς πτωχοῖς, καὶ εἴ τινός τι ἐσυκοφάντησα, ἀποδίδωμι τετραπλοῦν.
9 Είπε δε προς αυτόν ο Ιησούς ότι, Σήμερον έγεινε σωτηρία εις τον οίκον τούτον, καθότι και αυτός υιός του Αβραάμ είναι.
9 Jesus said to him, “Today, salvation has come to this house, because he also is a son of Abraham.
9 εἶπε δὲ πρὸς αὐτὸν ὁ Ἰησοῦς ὅτι σήμερον σωτηρία τῷ οἴκῳ τούτῳ ἐγένετο, καθότι καὶ αὐτὸς υἱὸς Ἀβραάμ ἐστιν.
10 Διότι ο Υιός του ανθρώπου ήλθε να ζητήση και να σώση το απολωλός.
10 For the Son of Man came to seek and to save that which was lost.”
10 ἦλθε γὰρ ὁ υἱὸς τοῦ ἀνθρώπου ζητῆσαι καὶ σῶσαι τὸ ἀπολωλός.
11 Και ενώ αυτοί ήκουον ταύτα, προσθέσας είπε παραβολήν, διότι ήτο πλησίον της Ιερουσαλήμ και αυτοί ενόμιζον ότι η βασιλεία του Θεού έμελλεν ευθύς να φανή·
11 As they heard these things, he went on and told a parable, because he was near Jerusalem, and they supposed that God’s Kingdom would be revealed immediately.
11 Ἀκουόντων δὲ αὐτῶν ταῦτα προσθεὶς εἶπε παραβολήν, διὰ τὸ ἐγγὺς αὐτὸν εἶναι Ἱερουσαλὴμ καὶ δοκεῖν αὐτοὺς ὅτι παραχρῆμα μέλλει ἡ βασιλεία τοῦ Θεοῦ ἀναφαίνεσθαι·
12 είπε λοιπόν· Άνθρωπος τις ευγενής υπήγεν εις χώραν μακράν διά να λάβη εις εαυτόν βασιλείαν και να υποστρέψη.
12 He said therefore, “A certain nobleman went into a far country to receive for himself a kingdom and to return.
12 εἶπεν οὖν· ἄνθρωπός τις εὐγενὴς ἐπορεύθη εἰς χώραν μακρὰν λαβεῖν ἑαυτῷ βασιλείαν καὶ ὑποστρέψαι.
13 Και καλέσας δέκα δούλους εαυτού, έδωκεν εις αυτούς δέκα μνας και είπε προς αυτούς· Πραγματευθήτε εωσού έλθω.
13 He called ten servants of his and gave them ten mina coins, and told them, ‘Conduct business until I come.’
13 καλέσας δὲ δέκα δούλους ἑαυτοῦ ἔδωκεν αὐτοῖς δέκα μνᾶς καὶ εἶπε πρὸς αὐτούς· πραγματεύσασθε ἐν ᾧ ἔρχομαι.
14 Οι συμπολίται αυτού όμως εμίσουν αυτόν και απέστειλαν κατόπιν αυτού πρέσβεις, λέγοντες· Δεν θέλομεν τούτον να βασιλεύση εφ' ημάς.
14 But his citizens hated him, and sent an envoy after him, saying, ‘We don’t want this man to reign over us.’
14 οἱ δὲ πολῖται αὐτοῦ ἐμίσουν αὐτόν, καὶ ἀπέστειλαν πρεσβείαν ὀπίσω αὐτοῦ λέγοντες· οὐ θέλομεν τοῦτον βασιλεῦσαι ἐφ᾽ ἡμᾶς.
15 Και αφού υπέστρεψε λαβών την βασιλείαν, είπε να προσκληθώσι προς αυτόν οι δούλοι εκείνοι, εις τους οποίους έδωκε το αργύριον, διά να μάθη τι εκέρδησεν έκαστος.
15 “When he had come back again, having received the kingdom, he commanded these servants, to whom he had given the money, to be called to him, that he might know what they had gained by conducting business.
15 καὶ ἐγένετο ἐν τῷ ἐπανελθεῖν αὐτὸν λαβόντα τὴν βασιλείαν, καὶ εἶπε φωνηθῆναι αὐτῷ τοὺς δούλους τούτους οἷς ἔδωκε τὸ ἀργύριον, ἵνα ἐπιγνῷ τίς τί διεπραγματεύσατο.
16 Και ήλθεν ο πρώτος, λέγων· Κύριε, η μνα σου εκέρδησε δέκα μνας.
16 The first came before him, saying, ‘Lord, your mina has made ten more minas.’
16 παρεγένετο δὲ ὁ πρῶτος λέγων· κύριε, ἡ μνᾶ σου προσειργάσατο δέκα μνᾶς.
17 Και είπε προς αυτόν· Εύγε, αγαθέ δούλε· επειδή εις το ελάχιστον εφάνης πιστός, έχε εξουσίαν επάνω δέκα πόλεων.
17 “He said to him, ‘Well done, you good servant! Because you were found faithful with very little, you shall have authority over ten cities.’
17 καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ· εὖ, ἀγαθὲ δοῦλε! ὅτι ἐν ἐλαχίστῳ πιστὸς ἐγένου, ἴσθι ἐξουσίαν ἔχων ἐπάνω δέκα πόλεων.
18 Και ήλθεν ο δεύτερος, λέγων· Κύριε, η μνα σου έκαμε πέντε μνας.
18 “The second came, saying, ‘Your mina, Lord, has made five minas.’
18 καὶ ἦλθεν ὁ δεύτερος λέγων· κύριε, ἡ μνᾶ σου ἐποίησε πέντε μνᾶς.
19 Είπε δε και προς τούτον· Και συ γενού εξουσιαστής επάνω πέντε πόλεων.
19 “So he said to him, ‘And you are to be over five cities.’
19 εἶπε δὲ καὶ τούτῳ· καὶ σὺ γίνου ἐπάνω πέντε πόλεων.
20 Ήλθε και άλλος, λέγων· Κύριε, ιδού η μνα σου, την οποίαν είχον πεφυλαγμένην εν μανδηλίω.
20 Another came, saying, ‘Lord, behold, your mina, which I kept laid away in a handkerchief,
20 καὶ ἕτερος ἦλθε λέγων· κύριε, ἰδοὺ ἡ μνᾶ σου, ἣν εἶχον ἀποκειμένην ἐν σουδαρίῳ.
21 Διότι σε εφοβούμην, επειδή είσαι άνθρωπος αυστηρός· λαμβάνεις ό,τι δεν κατέβαλες, και θερίζεις ό,τι δεν έσπειρας.
21 for I feared you, because you are an exacting man. You take up that which you didn’t lay down, and reap that which you didn’t sow.’
21 ἐφοβούμην γάρ σε, ὅτι ἄνθρωπος αὐστηρὸς εἶ· αἴρεις ὃ οὐκ ἔθηκας, καὶ θερίζεις ὃ οὐκ ἔσπειρας, καὶ συνάγεις ὅθεν οὐ διεσκόρπισας.
22 Και λέγει προς αυτόν· Εκ του στόματός σου θέλω σε κρίνει, πονηρέ δούλε· ήξευρες ότι εγώ είμαι άνθρωπος αυστηρός, λαμβάνων ό,τι δεν κατέβαλον, και θερίζων ό,τι δεν έσπειρα·
22 “He said to him, ‘Out of your own mouth I will judge you, you wicked servant! You knew that I am an exacting man, taking up that which I didn’t lay down and reaping that which I didn’t sow.
22 λέγει αὐτῷ· ἐκ τοῦ στόματός σου κρινῶ σε, πονηρὲ δοῦλε. ᾔδεις ὅτι ἄνθρωπος αὐστηρός εἰμι ἐγώ, αἴρων ὃ οὐκ ἔθηκα, καὶ θερίζων ὃ οὐκ ἔσπειρα, καὶ συνάγων ὅθεν οὐ διεσκόρπισα·
23 διά τι λοιπόν δεν έδωκας το αργύριόν μου εις την τράπεζαν, ώστε εγώ ελθών ήθελον συνάξει αυτό μετά του τόκου;
23 Then why didn’t you deposit my money in the bank, and at my coming, I might have earned interest on it?’
23 καὶ διατί οὐκ ἔδωκας τὸ ἀργύριόν μου ἐπὶ τὴν τράπεζαν, καὶ ἐγὼ ἐλθὼν σὺν τόκῳ ἂν ἔπραξα αὐτό;
24 Και είπε προς τους παρεστώτας· Αφαιρέσατε απ' αυτού την μναν και δότε εις τον έχοντα τας δέκα μνας.
24 He said to those who stood by, ‘Take the mina away from him and give it to him who has the ten minas.’
24 καὶ τοῖς παρεστῶσιν εἶπεν· ἄρατε ἀπ᾽ αὐτοῦ τὴν μνᾶν καὶ δότε τῷ τὰς δέκα μνᾶς ἔχοντι.
25 Και είπον προς αυτόν· Κύριε, έχει δέκα μνας.
25 “They said to him, ‘Lord, he has ten minas!’
25 [καὶ εἶπον αὐτῷ· κύριε, ἔχει δέκα μνᾶς.]
26 Διότι σας λέγω ότι εις πάντα τον έχοντα θέλει δοθή, από δε του μη έχοντος και ό,τι έχει θέλει αφαιρεθή απ' αυτού.
26 ‘For I tell you that to everyone who has, will more be given; but from him who doesn’t have, even that which he has will be taken away from him.
26 λέγω γὰρ ὑμῖν ὅτι παντὶ τῷ ἔχοντι δοθήσεται, ἀπὸ δὲ τοῦ μὴ ἔχοντος καὶ ὃ ἔχει ἀρθήσεται ἀπ᾽ αὐτοῦ.
27 Πλην τους εχθρούς μου εκείνους, οίτινες δεν με ηθέλησαν να βασιλεύσω επ' αυτούς, φέρετε εδώ και κατασφάξατε έμπροσθέν μου.
27 But bring those enemies of mine who didn’t want me to reign over them here, and kill them before me.’”
27 πλὴν τοὺς ἐχθρούς μου ἐκείνους, τοὺς μὴ θελήσαντάς με βασιλεῦσαι ἐπ᾽ αὐτούς, ἀγάγετε ὧδε καὶ κατασφάξατε αὐτοὺς ἔμπροσθέν μου.
28 Και ειπών ταύτα, προεχώρει αναβαίνων εις Ιεροσόλυμα.
28 Having said these things, he went on ahead, going up to Jerusalem.
28 Καὶ εἰπὼν ταῦτα ἐπορεύετο ἔμπροσθεν ἀναβαίνων εἰς Ἱεροσόλυμα.
29 Και ως επλησίασεν εις Βηθφαγή και Βηθανίαν, προς το όρος το καλούμενον Ελαιών, απέστειλε δύο των μαθητών αυτού,
29 When he came near to Bethsphage and Bethany, at the mountain that is called Olivet, he sent two of his disciples,
29 καὶ ἐγένετο ὡς ἤγγισεν εἰς Βηθσφαγῆ καὶ Βηθανίαν πρὸς τὸ ὄρος τὸ καλούμενον ἐλαιῶν, ἀπέστειλε δύο τῶν μαθητῶν αὐτοῦ
30 ειπών· Υπάγετε εις την κατέναντι κώμην, εις την οποίαν εμβαίνοντες θέλετε ευρεί πωλάριον δεδεμένον, επί του οποίου ουδείς άνθρωπος εκάθησέ ποτε· λύσατε αυτό και φέρετε.
30 saying, “Go your way into the village on the other side, in which, as you enter, you will find a colt tied, which no man has ever sat upon. Untie it and bring it.
30 εἰπών· ὑπάγετε εἰς τὴν κατέναντι κώμην, ἐν ᾗ εἰσπορευόμενοι εὑρήσετε πῶλον δεδεμένον, ἐφ᾽ ὃν οὐδεὶς πώποτε ἀνθρώπων ἐκάθισε· λύσαντες αὐτὸν ἀγάγετε.
31 Και εάν τις σας ερωτήση, Διά τι λύετε αυτό ούτω θέλετε ειπεί προς αυτόν, Ότι ο Κύριος έχει χρείαν αυτού.
31 If anyone asks you, ‘Why are you untying it?’ say to him: ‘The Lord needs it.’”
31 καὶ ἐάν τις ὑμᾶς ἐρωτᾷ, διατί λύετε; οὕτως ἐρεῖτε αὐτῷ, ὅτι ὁ Κύριος αὐτοῦ χρείαν ἔχει.
32 Υπήγαν δε οι απεσταλμένοι και εύρον καθώς είπε προς αυτούς·
32 Those who were sent went away and found things just as he had told them.
32 ἀπελθόντες δὲ οἱ ἀπεσταλμένοι εὗρον καθὼς εἶπεν αὐτοῖς, ἑστῶτα τὸν πῶλον·
33 και ενώ έλυον το πωλάριον, είπον προς αυτούς οι κύριοι αυτού· Διά τι λύετε το πωλάριον;
33 As they were untying the colt, its owners said to them, “Why are you untying the colt?”
33 λυόντων δὲ αὐτῶν τὸν πῶλον εἶπον οἱ κύριοι αὐτοῦ πρὸς αὐτούς· τί λύετε τὸν πῶλον;
34 Οι δε είπον· Ο Κύριος έχει χρείαν αυτού,
34 They said, “The Lord needs it.”
34 οἱ δὲ εἶπον ὅτι ὁ Κύριος αὐτοῦ χρείαν ἔχει.
35 και έφεραν αυτό προς τον Ιησούν· και ρίψαντες επί το πωλάριον τα ιμάτια αυτών, επεκάθισαν τον Ιησούν.
35 Then they brought it to Jesus. They threw their cloaks on the colt and sat Jesus on them.
35 καὶ ἤγαγον αὐτὸν πρὸς τὸν Ἰησοῦν, καὶ ἐπιρρίψαντες ἑαυτῶν τὰ ἱμάτια ἐπὶ τὸν πῶλον ἐπεβίβασαν τὸν Ἰησοῦν.
36 Ενώ δε επορεύετο, υπέστρωνον τα ιμάτια αυτών εις την οδόν.
36 As he went, they spread their cloaks on the road.
36 πορευομένου δὲ αὐτοῦ ὑπεστρώννυον τὰ ἱμάτια αὐτῶν ἐν τῇ ὁδῷ.
37 Και ότε επλησίαζεν ήδη εις την κατάβασιν του όρους των Ελαιών, ήρχισαν άπαν το πλήθος των μαθητών χαίροντες να υμνώσι τον Θεόν μεγαλοφώνως διά πάντα τα θαύματα, τα οποία είδον,
37 As he was now getting near, at the descent of the Mount of Olives, the whole multitude of the disciples began to rejoice and praise God with a loud voice for all the mighty works which they had seen,
37 ἐγγίζοντος δὲ αὐτοῦ ἤδη πρὸς τῇ καταβάσει τοῦ ὄρους τῶν ἐλαιῶν ἤρξατο ἅπαν τὸ πλῆθος τῶν μαθητῶν χαίροντες αἰνεῖν τὸν Θεὸν φωνῇ μεγάλῃ περὶ πασῶν ὧν εἶδον δυνάμεων
38 λέγοντες· Ευλογημένος ο ερχόμενος Βασιλεύς εν ονόματι του Κυρίου· ειρήνη εν ουρανώ, και δόξα εν υψίστοις.
38 saying, “Blessed is the King who comes in the name of the Lord! Peace in heaven, and glory in the highest!”
38 λέγοντες· εὐλογημένος ὁ ἐρχόμενος βασιλεὺς ἐν ὀνόματι Κυρίου· εἰρήνη ἐν οὐρανῷ καὶ δόξα ἐν ὑψίστοις.
39 Και τινές των Φαρισαίων από του όχλου είπον προς αυτόν· Διδάσκαλε, επίπληξον τους μαθητάς σου.
39 Some of the Pharisees from the multitude said to him, “Teacher, rebuke your disciples!”
39 καί τινες τῶν Φαρισαίων ἀπὸ τοῦ ὄχλου εἶπον πρὸς αὐτόν· διδάσκαλε, ἐπιτίμησον τοῖς μαθηταῖς σου.
40 Και αποκριθείς είπε προς αυτούς· Σας λέγω ότι εάν ούτοι σιωπήσωσιν, οι λίθοι θέλουσι φωνάξει.
40 He answered them, “I tell you that if these were silent, the stones would cry out.”
40 καὶ ἀποκριθεὶς εἶπεν αὐτοῖς· λέγω ὑμῖν ὅτι ἐὰν οὗτοι σιωπήσωσιν, οἱ λίθοι κεκράξονται.
41 Και ότε επλησίασεν, ιδών την πόλιν έκλαυσεν επ' αυτήν,
41 When he came near, he saw the city and wept over it,
41 Καὶ ὡς ἤγγισεν, ἰδὼν τὴν πόλιν ἔκλαυσεν ἐπ᾽ αὐτῇ,
42 λέγων, Είθε να εγνώριζες και συ, τουλάχιστον εν τη ημέρα σου ταύτη, τα προς ειρήνην σου αποβλέποντα· αλλά τώρα εκρύφθησαν από των οφθαλμών σου·
42 saying, “If you, even you, had known today the things which belong to your peace! But now, they are hidden from your eyes.
42 λέγων ὅτι εἰ ἔγνως καὶ σύ, καί γε ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ σου ταύτῃ, τὰ πρὸς εἰρήνην σου! νῦν δὲ ἐκρύβη ἀπὸ ὀφθαλμῶν σου·
43 διότι θέλουσιν ελθεί ημέραι επί σε και οι εχθροί σου θέλουσι κάμει χαράκωμα περί σε, και θέλουσι σε περικυκλώσει και θέλουσι σε στενοχωρήσει πανταχόθεν,
43 For the days will come on you when your enemies will throw up a barricade against you, surround you, hem you in on every side,
43 ὅτι ἥξουσιν ἡμέραι ἐπὶ σὲ καὶ περιβαλοῦσιν οἱ ἐχθροί σου χάρακά σοι καὶ περικυκλώσουσί σε καὶ συνέξουσί σε πάντοθεν,
44 και θέλουσι κατεδαφίσει σε και τα τέκνα σου εν σοι, και δεν θέλουσιν αφήσει εν σοι λίθον επί λίθον, διότι δεν εγνώρισας τον καιρόν της επισκέψεώς σου.
44 and will dash you and your children within you to the ground. They will not leave in you one stone on another, because you didn’t know the time of your visitation.”
44 καὶ ἐδαφιοῦσί σε καὶ τὰ τέκνα σου ἐν σοί, καὶ οὐκ ἀφήσουσιν ἐν σοὶ λίθον ἐπὶ λίθῳ, ἀνθ᾽ ὧν οὐκ ἔγνως τὸν καιρὸν τῆς ἐπισκοπῆς σου.
45 Και εισελθών εις το ιερόν, ήρχισε να εκβάλλη τους πωλούντας εν αυτώ και αγοράζοντας,
45 He entered into the temple and began to drive out those who bought and sold in it,
45 Καὶ εἰσελθὼν εἰς τὸ ἱερὸν ἤρξατο ἐκβάλλειν τοὺς πωλοῦντας ἐν αὐτῷ καὶ ἀγοράζοντας
46 λέγων προς αυτούς· Είναι γεγραμμένον, Ο οίκός μου είναι οίκος προσευχής· σεις δε εκάμετε αυτόν σπήλαιον ληστών.
46 saying to them, “It is written, ‘My house is a house of prayer,’ but you have made it a ‘den of robbers’!”
46 λέγων αὐτοῖς· γέγραπται ὅτι ὁ οἶκός μου οἶκος προσευχῆς ἐστιν· ὑμεῖς δὲ αὐτὸν ἐποιήσατε σπήλαιον λῃστῶν.
47 Και εδίδασκε καθ' ημέραν εν τω ιερώ οι δε αρχιερείς και οι γραμματείς και οι πρώτοι του λαού εζήτουν να απολέσωσιν αυτόν.
47 He was teaching daily in the temple, but the chief priests, the scribes, and the leading men among the people sought to destroy him.
47 Καὶ ἦν διδάσκων τὸ καθ᾽ ἡμέραν ἐν τῷ ἱερῷ· οἱ δὲ ἀρχιερεῖς καὶ οἱ γραμματεῖς ἐζήτουν αὐτὸν ἀπολέσαι καὶ οἱ πρῶτοι τοῦ λαοῦ,
48 Και δεν εύρισκον το τι να πράξωσι· διότι πας ο λαός ήτο προσηλωμένος εις το να ακούη αυτόν.
48 They couldn’t find what they might do, for all the people hung on to every word that he said.
48 καὶ οὐχ εὕρισκον τὸ τί ποιήσουσιν· ὁ λαὸς γὰρ ἅπας ἐξεκρέματο αὐτοῦ ἀκούων.

What the Fathers said
Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations).
How these were chosen
“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).

For not only to God the Father, but also to His Only-begotten, who came to seek what was lost, we had been known already even so far as to be chosen in Him before the foundation of the world.

Why, these things, if we be silent "the stones will immediately cry out;" so plain are they, and manifest, and more lucid than the sunbeam itself.

Guard them with reverence, lest per chance the enemy despoil any who have grown slack; or lest some heretic pervert any of the truths delivered to you. For faith is like putting money into the bank, even as we have now done; but from you God requires the accounts of the deposit.

Further, when, as He drew nigh to Jerusalem, He wept over it and said, "If thou hadst known, even thou, in this thy day, the things that belong unto thy peace, but they are hidden from thee," by this word "hidden" He showed the abstruse nature of Bythus.
